In my honest opinion, I find that what you classify as a security flaw and what you don't are quite flawed. It would interest me greatly to find out what you DO classify as neccesary checking criteria over what you call a flaw and what you don't, for instance that security.tombom thing wasn't actually classified as a security hole, so I think it begs the question of what is essentially classified as a security leak.

could save lives or at least speed up the pace of research, however it is yet to be fully tested." From the article: "If we wait until things are totally tested and analyzed in animals, it will deny some people treatment"
There are two arguments for this problem, the first being that people should enjoy life while they are dying and not get tested on and have as long a life as possible. The second argument is that they SHOULD be treated and use whatevers possible that may work to help treat the problem.
I find myself falling on both sides of the fence, as if it goes horribly wrong, unspeakable things could happen with usage of stem cells. But I also think that if it has the potential to save people's lives, and minimize suffering and help people in general, it should be used.
Firefox is not just a browser, it is a symbol of rebelion against the system. We should rename it the Ché-wser and make t shirts!:-P
Great moderator for you, bad moderator for me. We should rename firefox the UBER h4x0r @ d34db33f uber-1337 browser, I mean, only 1337 people are cool enough to use it.:)
I'm probably going to be flamed for this but here goes.
What is so good about Firefox? I mean, really. It isn't THAT good a browser, yeah ok so it's open source and it has tabs and a good few modern browsing technologies.
Opera is imo, by far the best browser on the whole browser market. It has everything, and it's much lighter than firefox, it's so damn fast as well. I think Opera should have been bundled with Dell computers instead, and also Google might be buying Opera soon, that would make Opera THE premium browser! Come on Opera is the best. You don't even have to pay to use it without adverts anymore!
Both, if you look at the creative pro's who make movies and stuff, a good PDA would just add to their creativity.
In the hands of the wrong person (not suggesting who that may be) it might just be taken apart and/or smashed or used to send useless texts to friends and browse slashdot all the time:P... and so forth.
Nice, a university running a city, good universities like the one described are often full of bright, mature, and great working people bursting ith inspiration.
Why not let them unleash their glowing intelligence on a city and help improve the management of the laboratory for science?
I gotta agree, I had an IBM Death star two, in fact I've had the bad luck of ownning TWO IBM's which both had major bad blocks.
Fortunately, one of them is now simply storage , the other one however, died, it just stopped working entirely.
In my experience seagate drives aren't too shabby, I think a move like this one will further integrate the good hard disk technologies the companies own.
The NCQ (native command queing) and possibly the serial ATA standard (now on 2.0, at 3Ghz) could very well benifit from having the integration of two major players in the hard disk industry.
Ah a good way of measuring a hard disk eh? Well there are several things to consider:
price per gigabyte
spindle speed (5400 RPM, 7200 RPM etc.. the new 10,000 RPM speed seems the best at the moment)
throughput/bus types (ATA, Scsi, serial ATA etc... serial ata 2 is currently the best, at a throughput of 3 gigabytes)
disk technologies such as NCQ, SMART(self monitoring and repoting technology) routines and analysis, error correction etc...
compatibility with your computer/reliance on the manafactuer
I personally take all these things into consideration when purchasing a new hard disk.
There's even apparently a cure for AIDS somewhere in africa (as my actually rather great science teacher from eighth grade told me), and it's supposed to be safeguarded by companies who are dictating the price slowly but surely.
Big companies like to get their greasy hands on it "before" anyone else knows about it, then claim it as their own. In the end of the day, this Indian testing thing is wrong, I think they should breed special purpose lab rats (not humans) that they can test things on... if they want a human, why don't they make a complex IT based thing that reflects a digitized human body? I think in this day and age, that would be an unltimately difficult, but worthy of attention and money project.
t's a free market right? If providers start limiting things, consumers will be heard as they scramble for a provider that has the features that they want.
Exactly! I agree totally, I mean you wouldn't keep using an OS if it suddenly was made to watch everything you do, block content, and work only with things the company that owns it wants it to work with would you?
I don't see how this is any different from that, well, they definitly shouldn't block slashdot.:P
What I meant moreover was that is the customer makes money in a different company after red hat disregard you, then red hat are losing out. And also, I meant "if you factor in good buisness practies that work overall better for the company and customers then it will benifit all, and make the company a better runner".
Yes... that's because Novell has woken up and realised that just because a company is pro-OSS it doesn't make them good. Hopefully IBM will figure it out soon.
I agree, the thing is that if you factor in good buisness practices that actually work better all round for the customers and buisness. For instance if I was a Red hat customer and they chose to disgard me before I made any real money, then I went to another company who were more endearing and offered better customer support, who would be losing out? Red hat.
And as for changing over to the SuSe core, I would say Novell made a good choice, I like the direction Novell is going in, they are doing well.
Yeah exactly, and also the fact was that it helped people as well. I mean, honestly who want's to spend hours looking for some lyrics just for one song?
The meaning of these nice little programs is to help people be more creative and to work pro-actively with them to do that.
Other programs such as mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/news.htm l) let you watch loads of movies with lots of codecs and such, if ANYTHING this program would hinder the music industry more so than pearlyrics, my guess is that it's because pearlyrics was made primarily for Mac OS X (therefore was taken more notice of as Mac OS X is more popular than the primarily linux based mplayer), and that it simply looked for musical lyrics, are some of the reasons why it got taken notice of more, and therefore censored. It's unfair, and I think that these programs should, if anything, be helped by music industry heavyweights to do more things and increase their functionality!
Well at least the company apologised, I just wish they'd seen sense in the first place, before it was too late:).
then consider giving a bit of money to a set of fairly non-biased organisations such as...
This may sound common and like a cliche.. but oxfam do actually make a difference to the world and as such their motto "working to put an end to poverty world-wide" shows. http://www.oxfam.org/
Also giving your money to your family through presents and to people you like and such is a worthy cause in my opinion, christmas is supposed to be a time of giving and sharing and joy,enjoy it.:)

It means more integration between AOL and google services...
Hence Google talk supporting AIM.....
That talk of Google launching an ISP service later on could be linked with AOL...
And so forth.
even manages to fall victim to greed by cramming as many adverts as they can fit in for more revenue.
It's a shame really, I liked google exactly the way it was. Oh well.
Damnit, they should've cancelled IE all platforms ;P
Mark me down for that why don't you, I've got karma to burn anyway.. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
