Much like antibiotics does this not help create resistant germs and ultimately makes some of those dangerous pathogens harder to kill? Even more so since it is constantly in contact with and battle against said pathogens?
Because then it is an airplane. It really doesn't matter what your fuselage looks like. It's kinda like the difference between a horse (airplane), a donkey (car), and a mule (car with wings)... He wants a donkey that misses the ground...
I hadn't thought of it that way and it does work better as an analogy except for the reaction both to the stolen items being released to the public and the hacking event itself will be dramatically different. I should also be clear I don't think the release of the information has much if any benefit but the public disclosure of the compromise does.
I should be more clear I suppose. I don't support every action the hackers take, I never have. I support the exposing of the weaknesses to force the organizations to fix them or at least allow the individuals the ability to mitigate them. The problem here (and with your analogy) is that a security vulnerability like this can easily be used and then kept secret by the company and/or hackers. If you break into a bank and dump the keys into the street it is very public (even if you don't dump the keys) and will illicit and immediate and strong corrective response. If that was the case for hacking an information system we probably wouldn't be in this situation to begin with and it would be much harder to accomplish.
While I understand the point you are trying to make you seem to have sidestepped the context. Hacking an organization and at least theoretically exposing weaknesses in their security and hacking an individual's phone are quite a bit different. I generically applaud publicly hacking organizations that are failing in their responsibility to protect the information they have. So while I would support generically hacking the entire phone system to expose such a weakness the focused malicious attack on a deceased girl does not quite have the same flavor.
Having served I understand fog of war, probably better than you do, that would be part of the problem getting enough information but our ability to gather and evaluate gets better daily. Your comparison is fairly flawed since you're comparing people and their actions to a random event calculator. People as much as they may want to be are not completely random and their past actions speak to the allegiances and likely future actions. The goal is not to predict what someone will do but who they are, it is a much easier thing to do than you might expect. The problem is taking masses of information from various sources and making it fit together right so that you can paint that accurate picture for everyone, not just one person. With more experience, research, and development this will happen. Think of it as profiling on a grand scale.
It is probably closer to speech recognition, determining what word IS said, than lottery prediction, what number WILL come up.
Actually one of my uncles and I do my grandmother's due diligence when it comes to her computer and technology issues. I can still appreciate that Microsoft is being up front with a potential issue instead of pretending to ignore it until things come to a head and someone is crying because they were violated and weren't told it would happen.
Of course the US would is the EU had produced any products that were used to the same extent as Microsoft's products. Though if that had been the case I strongly suspect the balance of power would already be very different than it is right now. Granted a large part of the reason is likely due to the fact that the EU countries spent decades worrying about the US and Soviets shitting all over the continent instead of working on technology and invention...
The EU is more than welcome to provide their own solutions in place of Microsoft's. All that has happened so far is that Microsoft has warned their customers of potential issues with the tangle of laws in the various countries their products are or may be used.
Your over developed sense of persecution isn't exactly well placed here. If the EU citizens are doing business with a company from another country then they must be prepared to deal with the laws in that country. Microsoft has merely done the due diligence that those citizens should have.
With enough information and the right algorithm they might actually be able to obtain that. Unfortunately being an early revision this is an imperfect system. Only someone incredibly lucky or incredibly vain thinks it will be perfect on the first try or two. Give it some years and a bit more research and they might get close enough to their goal so as to not matter.
Your numbers are WAY off... about 40 years ago they were making about 40x the average employee... Now they're making almost 370x the average employee...
Huh, sounds like you had a very bad experience in one particular city. To be fair your description is quite accurate for SOME cities. The best part is if you go back a number of years the urban areas were being bought up and becoming to expensive to live while your description of the services and restrictions in a city was much more accurate for the suburbs and small towns.
Things will change as people move, this is just the start of the return to the city. Times change and the next couple generations will continue the trend towards cities until their children move back out again or everything is one large urban sprawl. The cycle has played out more than once since the industrial revolution.
Heh, I can't stand Detroit personally but I do have family that lives there. They actually seem to like the current Mayor. He's a bit less corrupt than most of his predecessors. It's also one of the fastest shrinking places in the country so it was a good example.
You should look into what parts of the country are growing. The flight from city center ended and has reversed in the past decade. People are moving back to the cities and loving it. Even downtown Detroit has seen growth...
Neither of them received support from our parents. In the US it is essentially a part of college for many students. It was a summer internship in finance while still in college for one (in a city about 4 hours from home). The other had graduated and was working and wanted to make a job change. He basically ended up working two jobs, only one of which paid, until he finished the internship and was hired on permanently the next day.
I can see there being issues with unpaid internships and supporting yourself but it may mean you have to work two jobs for a while. If you're working an unpaid internship that requires so many hours that you are unable to work a second job there better be one heck of a good reason...
I haven't been an intern (unpaid or otherwise) but both of my brothers have. Depending on what field you are in it can be the best way to break in or find out if you like it. One is in finance and the other is in athletics. For finance it was a foot in the door and confirmation that he wanted to do that with his life, and yes he was used for menial work but it was the same work he was doing when he started working for real too. For athletics it was the only way to get the job he wanted, he had experience, he had even trained gold medal athletes but for the job he wanted he need very specific experience and being an intern was the only way he was going to be able to get it.
Neither of them regret their decisions and both of them were unpaid.
My advice? There is no right or wrong when it comes to unpaid internships as a whole so weigh every opportunity and don't take them at face value, do your research or end up jaded and full of regret like this blogger.
I think either they have a legitimate reason to think $15 million is a realistic number (in the grand scheme it isn't that large) or they are going with the start big to get their attention and settle for much less and the removal of the block.
I don't think that is necessarily the solution but having a bigger disconnect from the CEO wouldn't be bad. Microsoft is trying to homogenize the experience across their platforms which completely splitting the company could make more difficult.
The biggest problem here is that the person with the vision to make all of that happen should be the CEO or at least equivalent in power. Ballmer is a business guy and it shows. He doesn't need to be replaced on the operations side but he does need to be replaced on the vision and direction side...

Huh, I thought they had closed that particular loop hole since it has failed for me a couple times now. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
I know. I was being understated. Bing is doing what needs to be done and should get Detroit back to viability soon.
Now if they could just figure out how to fix the roads in a way that won't create 3 potholes for every 1 they fixed.
Your numbers are WAY off... about 40 years ago they were making about 40x the average employee... Now they're making almost 370x the average employee...
And suddenly Yahoo is relevant again, if only for a short while...
He would be better off shooting them then himself so the stupid doesn't spread...
Yeah... I was wondering about that and the fact that it ways 43 pounds...

If you look at the places where the most amount of time is spent on the web I doubt "power users" is the term you want to use...

Do these incredible unique and specific needs include helmets and thoroughly licked windows?
