There's a lot of South Koreans that genuinely have no idea what goes on in North Korea. There's a significant number of them that want reunification, not understanding that the two peoples are about as related at this point as say the French and Zimbabweans. And that it would almost certainly require the South Koreans to subvert themselves to North Korean rule.
I wish I could mod you up. That's precisely the problem. We're engaging in a race to the bottom, and ultimately only the upper classes benefit from it. It doesn't matter that Americans work harder and are more productive as a whole than any of the Asian nations. Because corporate interests are OK shipping shoddy products which may include toxic substances and the high casualty rate the jobs are shipped over seas anyways.
I haven't seen it, but I'm curious as to why virtually all cartoons these days are colored in South Korea. Strikes me that depicting it in such an allegorical way is somewhat appropriate.
Being a colorist is not easy, but it's hardly in the same league creatively with the folks that do the writing and modeling for the series. It sounds like it's away of pointing out that it's like working in the salt mines of the cartoon industry.

For the finale they really ought to bust him for possession of child porn. That would almost make the show worth watching.
You should be against GMO. If you screw it up which is quite possible you can end up wiping out a good portion of the other plants in existence. It's way beyond the possible harm of just selective breeding. Unless you know how to breed a leopard with a firefly and get a leopard with glowing spots, because you'd have to be nuts to imagine that sort of thing.
And I'm sure you also are capable of telling the difference between a CD and an MP3 encoded at 192kbps variable as well. Apart from a small minority of people that get headaches you shouldn't be able to notice a difference until you get down to at least 30fps or so and probably under 24fps.
Indeed. The only reason why we're still talking about him is that he does things like this in an effort to see how far he can push the boundaries. The iPhone is a terrible platform for this sort of thing. The controls alone are enough to doom it to obscurity, but it's an interesting programming and design challenge and a way of reminding the other developers that he hasn't gone soft. I'm sure it's also serving as a way of making sure the engine scales well and has other practical applications as well. But he's a god in this space for a reason.
As a CEO he's been around long enough to know that it's not good to derive nearly all your profits from one source. It's just way too prone to sudden changes in market conditions. Just ask any company that was making just buggy whips when the car came into mass production and failed to diversify.
Everybody is at all times doing what they view to be in their own self interest. The problem, and the reason why it gets complicated, is that it doesn't mean that the action _is_ in their interest and it doesn't give any indication as to what strategy it is that they'll use to determine the course of action either.
I'm talking about the possible attack site warning. I run my browser in a sandbox on top of other anti-malware software running in a browser with javascript disabled at most points and going into a possible malware site isn't that much of a problem, especially when I haven't any way of knowing why the site got flag.
Indeed, and unfortunately, we've traded away virtually all our ability to influence it directly. What we can however do is hold companies like Apple accountable for things like this when it's being done to profit them. With the amount of money that Apple makes selling iPods, iPads and whatever else, I have a really hard time believing that they don't have the money to have one person on site at all times during the production of those products keeping tab to make sure things are being done appropriately.
Perhaps not down to the tiniest part, but at least in most of their plants.
Mostly yes, but we did join the WTO and with that gave up most of our ability to do something about that. Previously we could've raised the tariffs to account for that sort of behavior and made better behavior a requirement for returning the tariffs to where they were. Now that's a trade barrier and almost certainly illegal.
Unless I'm greatly mistaken, that's already possible with some of the Android phones. I haven't personally tried it, but I believe it is possible with the Nexus One and presumably other phones of similar or better features.
Right, and there's fewer than 100 people killed in the US by lightning strikes, so it must not be that big a deal to walk around outside in a thunderstorm?
What annoys me about Firefox is that it doesn't let you easily sidestep the security on a temporary basis. Either you can't go in or it wants you to create a permanent exception. I'm not really sure why it can't provide a convenient way of making it a one time deal. Once I'm in if I decide to do that, then is the appropriate time for me to decide whether to add a permanent exception or not.
In virtually all cases I'm not going back to that site, so ultimately not providing a convenient temporary access is probably worse for security.
Actually, the contents of your car are almost certainly not covered by your auto insurance. That's typically covered by either home owner's insurance or renter's insurance.
Those were horrible. I hope that they never come back into vogue, no matter how many GB the next revision can handle. They had this nasty habit of losing files, even worse that floppy disks.
Firewire had serious security implications which weren't particularly well advertised and I'm not sure that I'd really know how to handle them. Part of why Firewire was faster than USB was that it had direct access to the computers memory. I remember connecting two computers via Firewire and then connecting a peripheral to one only to have it appear on the other computer.
I assume that my memory is a bit glitchy, but that's pretty close. Firewire was great for debugging computers, but you had to be sure that you could trust whatever it was that you were plugging in there every time.
Except he mysteriously waited until the iPod had an almost unassailable grip on the market and then started to attack the DRM. Having used the DRM to lock everybody else out of the ITMS.
It's probably more a matter of Flash being so awful that they have to agree that it's terrible. So they try to kill it only to realize that like IE6 it's undead.
It could happen. I doubt very much that it would as a result of this, but there is a pretty substantial games industry up here in Washington, and the courts here are amicable to software companies. Between that and the cheap electricity MS stays here, even though they feel like paying most of their taxes in Nevada.

That's an insult to the third world. North Korea is worse than most third world nations in pretty much every way.

Just as long as they don't try to patent methods of perambulation, we should be fine.

It's good for Apple's shareholders that the folks at the patent office haven't seen the Pirates of Silicon Valley.
