Not to mention the wonderful PR side effect of the company being "green".
Yup. Here's a pull-quote from a 2/13/2012 Dell press release, "Dell Opens New Western Technology Center in Quincy, Washington":
"Dell is proud to be listed as one of the top Green IT companies in the world," stated Patrick Mooney, executive director, Dell Services. "Our efforts to optimize the Power Usage Effectiveness at our Western Technology Center appeals to customers who want to consider the impact to the environment when configuring their IT solutions and to our environmentally conscious team members who participate in green initiatives across Dell."
"Power Usage Effectiveness" was originally coined "Power Usage Kilowatt Effectiveness" until someone pointed out its acronym.
"velocitas eradico" translates to "get rid of speed" (according to Google).
Get rid of speed?
How about "victoria ad velox" instead?
("For a swift victory" or "Victory through Speed")
The company set out specific parameters for what kind of vulnerabilities in which products were in scope for the rewards, but some researchers still submitted flaws that were out of bounds, including bugs in partners' products or in the Barracuda corporate Web site."
If they do in fact fix those "out of bounds" issues and/or its corporate web site then they should pay something to the discoverer. Only if they don't do anything about them should they not pay anything.

In addition: if Slashdot had accepted your spelling of "epoch" (including in your sig) instead of using the acronym EPOCH, Slashdot might not have confused our European friends with the reference to the European Program On Climatology And Natural Hazards.
Expensive? It's possible to prosecute a simple patent application like this one for about $15k, although Apple is probably going to spend less than $100k for it -- certainly that's not expensive to a company like Apple.

Slashdot Mirror
I'm working on creating a digital mouse trap.
You're just trying to bait us into making a cheesy reply.
Fortunately there's no need to improve upon Slashdot.

So this device is them attempting to market an idea, and their art, rather than a product.
Still, we must not allow a Transparency Grenade gap!

Well, RFC 1149 worked for Egypt
Why should he have to read TFS when there are fools (like me; see my earlier reply and my sig) who post informative replies? ~

Fuck POPSCI, here's the link to the original article (Warning: graphic photographs)
Let's not forget this: Google won't allow the co-inventor of Unix and the C language to check-in code, because he won't take the mandatory language test. Quote: Legendary programmer Ken Thompson, for example, was required to prove his mettle at a programming language he himself co-invented before Google would deploy his programs. He never bothered, at least not by the time the book Coders at Work was published.
"Groovy" is so late 1960s/early 70s. Sigh.
Thanks. That would Make My Day.
I fail to understand what this has to do with the European Program On Climatology And Natural Hazards.
I'm reminded of another quote: "Oh, no, I can't unsee this!"
