An amazing way to exploit software that is ubiquitous on many computers.
Let's start the conspiracy now that Apple are told by governments not to fix a bug until they find a better 0Day to exploit.
You are obviously a government schill who has posed this as a "Lets start a conspiracy" to throw people of the fact that this is exactly what happened.
I am not sure what you are saying here. That murder and killing is alight because the Crusaders and Inquisition did it in medieval times (so we could start doing it again ourselves), or that everyone should get a turn at being murderous and uncivilised so that we should just let the Muslims get on with it?
Are you retarded or just trying to look as if?
The GGP insinuated that the jewish and "christ"ian religions have no violent past. Now, taking into account that "christ"ian atrocities have continued roughly until 600-500 years ago, and islam is roughly 600 years younger than "christ"ianity, give the muslims a few centuries to become civilized, k?
OK so you are going with the second option of saying that the Muslims should have a turn at being murderous uncivilised barbarians. Personally I son't think it retarded to hope that freedom and tolerance should be extended to everyone, but seeing that this is your opinion can I ask how far we should permit this barbarism for the next couple of centuries. Should we just let them kill non Muslims for their belief in Muslim countries? Or should we also allow them to commit honour killings within the Muslim community in the West? Or do you want to go the whole hog in letting them be barbarians and allow them to fly planes into our buildings and set off bombs in our streets and on trains and just say "well its only fair because of the Crusades?"
Leave Muslim countries and be safe (if you can ever ignore their oil).
I think you will find that Muslims are killing non-Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and many countries that were not involved in the invasion of Iraq (which was a huge mistake that I opposed at the time). Like we are now finding with the "Arab Spring", but we should have known already from Afghanistan and Iraq it is better for Muslim countries to be controlled by a dictator than by an Islamic theocracy.

Is there any field that couldn't use less MBAs? It is a sort of community service to get the poor critters off the street, but they sure make a mess of things. Maybe we can find them a nice island somewhere.
This is no joke. There is a team in our company that has five managers and five web developers, all MBAs. That's almost as many as the team that runs and maintains our web applications. We thought this was overkill - such a large team occasionally adding a link or a page to a static site. Recently we found that they are actually outsourcing this work, and all ten of them just "manage" it!
It doesn't use that much data it's sending kW and KVAR recordings for every 15 minutes for a 24 hour period (720 comma separated values). what's that like 150 kB?
Do they even send that much? I would have thought that daily totals sent at the end of each week would be sufficient for electric companies.
Why would 'smart' meters not use SMS or something similar? Whatever 'green' imperative has these meters requiring more than that is a fail, by definition.
This is an obvious and sensible solution. I expect that the reason comes down to mobile operators wanting to charge electric companies too much to use the service.

The realised a few years ago that there was no point competing at the bottom end of the inkjet printer market. Rather than join the race to the bottom they decided to re-position themselves are more of a premium brand. Their current models have colour LCD screens and you can plug a digital camera in directly. Then there is wifi connectivity and photo-enhancement. There is already quite a bit of software in there just to handle that stuff, and going to a full OS with installable apps is the next logical step.
Unfortunately for the consumer it makes no sense. For cheap colour printing a laser printer is better and cheaper overall, and for high quality photo prints is to cheaper to just order them online or at a photo shop. Let them worry about all the expensive inks and paper required, or the blocked print heads and paper jams.
True. I make do with a cheap monochrome laser and online printing for the rare occasions when colour is necessary.
Unfortunately, HP doesn't seem to get that most of us are moving AWAY from the idea of printing on paper, wherever possible.
Please tell my bosses! One has a secretary print out emails for him to read. Another looked at me as though I was mad when I suggested having an intranet application for expenses claims instead of a paper form. And they both come into work carrying a real newspaper.
Looking at the picture of the printer I can imagine that if HP wanted to get back in to tablets they could just have a cheap printer with a detachable control unit...
Bill Gates is spending his time and money these days looking for a cure for malaria and other diseases. Taking time away from that to testify in this case = more dead babies. Novell is killing babies.
And lining up the lawyers to prevent other people from saving babies without paying him patent rights.
Actually if explosives were your only worry the best thing would be to give free access to Iodine. The terrorists are much more likely to blow themselves up before getting out of the lab with nitrogen triiodide than almost any other explosive.
While the number of licensees has grown considerably over the years, we realize that these numbers include some who are no longer active in Amateur Radio. A recent survey of ARRL members, however, indicates that more than 80 percent of those responding are active.
I know a couple of people who were really keen HAM enthusiasts in the UK who have virtually given up on it now. One of them told me the excitement of talking to people all over the world was dulled a bit now that anyone with an internet connection can do the same. I'd love to know whether the people I know are going against the trend and HAM radio is increasing in the UK too or whether we have somehow missed a trick that the American HAM societies are using.

No I'm afraid our high tech surveillance system has been thwarted by a fly-spray.

How about mass-killings of civilians Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan by Christians? Should we let Christians get on with it?
Of course not - but I expect you are talking about fighting Muslim terrorists who started it, which should be allowed.
Please refer to the Crusades and Inquisition.

Post.
Also yahoo isnt that bad of a company. I get the feeling that they think it will add some more "not google" market share.
And thats fine by me.
I'd prefer it to also be "not Microsoft".
Who gets credit for "bringing us from the command line to the desktop"? Not the programmers who implemented it - but someone who drew the icons.

These things are about as useful as tits on a lawnmower.
There are plento of those on the sit-on varieties

Wireless is the future for many apps - there's no turning back now. My mouse is (blissfully) wireless,

This is the most rational explanation for HPs behaviour I've heard. Well that and LSD in the water in the board room.
Surely the poster must be the next HP CEO.

I cannot take them seriously anymore. Anyone to use them for business would be insane.
Yes right because Microsoft would never deprecate DCOM, Silverlight or VB6
Why should it be nameless?
Because "triiodide" is extremely awkward to say.
