So the one count they're charged with is for invading a corporate computer . And the thousands of individual citizens' PCs they compromised are ignored. Somehow, I'm not surprised.
The data is considered too sensitive for the network so everybody has a file folder with a hardcopy of the report and a floppy in a envelope inside made up for them.
A rare example where disgruntled employees don't bring guns to announce they quit. They bring magnets.
Having said that, it's possible that the kind of eruption that causes problems for airplanes is only one possible event of several or many possible events and may be a rarity.
Having said that, overreaction is a large part of health and safety rules in most western countries, and that's a good thing.
What's not fine is that airlines would rather have people dying than lost revenue.
is because they've had considerably less time to modernize.
Bullshit. Up until the 16th century, they were more modern than the mighty European tribes. Then the European church stopped killing people who asked interesting questions, and they didn't.
Unless they were travelling considerably faster across the universe than Europe, I'd say they had the same amount of time.
At this point it's almost like he's desperately trying to find some way of defining "art" in a way that excludes video games purely because he, for some reason, NEEDS them to not be art.
No kidding. I don't care what anyone says, Portal was art by any sane definition.
Clearly, the freedom you get with the MIT and BSD licenses exceeds that which you'd get from the GPL.
It's not a different amount of freedom, it's a different quality, with different goals. BSD is "I want everyone to use this". GPL is "I want everyone to get the updates". We can argue about which one is better all day, but unless you understand both philosophies, it's pointless.
BSD takes into account the fact that all software can be better by using known good code. GPL takes into account the fact that writing good software is not about the code but the process that leads to the code.
Agreed. Show me one user who will memorize even two strong passwords for you. The more often you force them to change it, the more simplistic they will change it to. Is this what you want?
If you're lucky, they'll just append something to the end of the old one, thus making the change pointless.

I fail to see how including other codecs would cause harm
Bloat. Not just in IE, but everything else that wants to give you a pleasant browsing experience, including embedded devices.
What I find interesting is, it wasn't Youtube that set the standard, after all.
Alright, answer me two questions : HTML5 is really the flash killer, yes?
Definitely not. But we'd all be happy if it was the flashbasedvideoplayer killer.
[MS's Internet Explorer Developer] A standard for HTML? who? what? where? oh alright, maybe one day ...
Monkeys don't talk.
Motivating developers: "We'll ship this time."
Bad English cry baby Jesus makes.

Which one is easier to gather evidence from?
Of course, you only get the badge if you batter the hooker academically.
They don't deserve credit for killing floppies
I'm pretty sure the early Macs generated enough of a magnetic field to do just that.
I never knew that Hong Kong was in the United States.
It's rude to derail a rant with logic.
Actually, that's a good point. Most viruses today are tested against the big brands before release.
Good news everyone!
executive is stupid enough [...] she
When was the last time you've seen a stupid female executive?

Adding ram is more useful and easier.
Except for the cases where adding RAM == buy new computer.
But doing simple math problems can't make you smarter, only better at simple math problems.
Given the current standards of education, doing simple math will soon count as smart.

Duh. The real question is, how long did those videos last before being publicized, and how long compared to other "illegal" streams of bytes.
Of course, you need to make sure that everyone has a thumb drive of sufficient size.
You can't even buy drives too small for this anymore.

and if anyone working at Ubi is reading, I'm not buying any more until your company starts considering laptops without mobile broadband.
I, for one, am not buying any game where the pirated version is better.
Major software upgrades for the iPad are probably not going to be free (except maybe the first one).
Don't suck the dick if you're not ready to swallow.

also note how pirating
in some cases potentially threatens national security and public health.
