No it wouldn't. I'm sure I have seen more japanese movies than indian movies, read more books by japanese authors than by indian authors, and I have seen exactly zero animations from India. Etc. I'm sure I'm in absolute majority.
You're almost certainly American. Post-war America & Japan have one of curious those victor/defeated relationships where they have a shared fascination with each other's culture (number 1+2 economies also helps).
Your mutual fascination does not extend around the rest of the world as much as you think it does.
Seriously - what kind of pop-culture and to what countries India sells?
You've obviously never been outside America - but when you do, you'll see that Indian films are huge all over Asia (including China, curiously enough), Africa and even Eastern Europe (but most popular in countries like Thailand, Pakistan & Indonesia)
You can certainly tell I'm not an American High School Graduate!
American High School Graduate: OK, two brothers are Singaporian-American of four Americans, OK, thats 2/4, so I er, carry the two, um, denomi-whassit. Oh Damn, I've run out of fingers, I'll just google it
No - your post is completely wrong & based around the assumption that America=The World.
It's like when you have California with a 7% population of Blacks incarcerating them at a rate of 32% of the total prison population. Something is definitely askew.
Some of the Eastern Europeans even seemed slightly embarrassed by their over-representation, saying it isn't evidence of any superior schooling or talent so much as an indicator of how much they have to prove.
Whilst it's true that Russian & Polish IT guys have less opportunities & more to prove, I think they're just being polite saying "it isn't evidence of any superior schooling"
The focus on mathematics in education in Poland (along with Russia and China) is far higher then in the US. The difference in what a typical high school graduate can do between these countries is huge. (I also note that at least 1/2 of the four Americans amongst the top coders began their education in Singapore)

I haven't heard of airgo & had no idea what their MIMO technology was, but a quick perusal of tfa:
Airgo, which already sells its earlier-generation chips through the Linksys unit of Cisco Systems and others, has pioneered a technology known as multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) that improves data speeds by sending radio signals from three antennas simultaneously.
Ergh, they're just linksys chipsets with three antennas.
Notice: Undefined index: DOCUMENT_ROOT in C:\AirgoMIMO\news\reviews\index.php on line 9
Warning: include(/includes/varsinit.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\AirgoMIMO\news\reviews\index.php on line 9
[etc]
That is.... shockingly unprofessional, but I guess the use of flash (and that lame timeline on the front page) should have clued me in.
Furhtermore, the list of data losses (...) can be blamed on companies who have failed to follow their security team's advice. Not on the security team itself.
Not entirely correct. Yes, users are morons, and yes they often fail to follow the advice of the security team. However, it's the security team's responsibility to get proper behaviour into the users stupid little heads.
Agreed - but what I was talking about is not failures of the end users, but failure of the company's management to implement security policies (including user education).
"It is time to admit what many security professional already know: We as security professional are drastically failing ourselves, our community and the people we are meant to protect. Too many of our security layers of defense are broken. Security professionals are enjoying a surge in business and growing salaries and that is why we tolerate the dismal situation we are facing. Yet it is our mandate, first and foremost, to protect."
Bollocks - this implies that there's more security professionals could do, but they choose not to, to drum up business.
The sad reality of the matter is the vast majority of the threats they mention - Spyware, phishing, Trojans, viruses, worms, rootkits, spam, web app vulnerabilities & ddos attacks - are enabled by the existence of botnets (to stage attacks from, send spam, provide anonymity, host phishing webservers, etc)
The source of (the vast majority of) botnets is Microsoft's security failures in the late 90's/early 00s. How are security professionals supposed to combat something that happened in the past in another company?
I have seen this attitude from Windows partisans and Linux advocates. It's just lazy thinking. Anti-fanbois are particularly lazy, since all they have to do is participate in our culture of contempt; whereas Apple enthusiasts
The correct terms are Linux Loon, Windows Shill & Apple fanboi.
Yeah, because that's what gets people excited about a new console. A controller.
But it's the only new thing in any of the consoles. All the others are the same as their last offering, with slightly better graphics - Nintendo is the only company offering something new.
It's still mainly going to be used to throw pastel mushrooms at cartoon dinosaurs.
Whatever dude - if you think that's all nintendo offers, then you really shouldn't be participating in a console discussion.
Oh c'mon. If you want to buy a 360 now, more power to you - but surely we should wait for all the boxes to come out before we pass judgement as to the best console?
It means you can update your "xbox has two good games (if you buy two copies of halo)" jokes to "xbox360 has two good games (if you buy two copies of GTA4)"
Yes, so that criminal who commit a crime in a country, then flee to another country can be returned to the country they committed the crime in.
And he didnt commit his crime in britian, he commited it in Britian AND the United States.
No he was in Britain when the crime was committed. The crime occurred in both countries. Perhaps I did not sufficiently distinguish between the subject & object of my original sentence.
That is the downfall of technology. All this talk of no borders and you can't limit it etc, well guess what, it works both ways.
No, it only works one way - when you commit an offense outside of the US, your government will face pressure to extradite you to the US. It will not flow the other way.
The article claims that UK hackers are almost all in support of Mr Mckinnon when in truth as we all know the entire tech community has agreed that Mr Mckinnon is not only an idiot but a deluded attention seeker.
Perhaps whitedust should consider that the hacking community can think Mr Mckinnon is "not only an idiot but a deluded attention seeker," but at the same time also support Mr Mckinnon as he is being extradited to the US for committing a crime in Britain.
Would US hackers support the extradition of another hacker being extradited to France for hacking a french military network? I suspect not - no matter how stupid & obnoxious the hacker's behaviour was.
During the discussions of market shares of the next-gen consoles, there's one thing people don't consider.
The Logo.
Thats right - the logo is going to decide who will win the next-gen console war. Have a look at the three logos side by side and it becomes apparant who is going to win.
How is this news? Blizard have been working on this project in secrecy for quite some time - there's even a clip up at google video of short segment of the work.
The animation is fantastic - far above what I thought modern PCs were capable of producing;-)

Anyway, next I headed over to Airgo's webiste to have a look. Zouch! Follow any links and you get the following error: That is.... shockingly unprofessional, but I guess the use of flash (and that lame timeline on the front page) should have clued me in.
I ask slashdot readers to choose the odd one out from the 'also on Reuters' pics/links at the bottom of the linked article.

But Japan is #2 country in economy and dare I say, cultural export, in the world.
The number one country for cultural exports I presume would be India?

Are you saying that trademark protection should only apply to young, widely known companies? I don't agree.
Yeah, because that's what gets people excited about a new console. A controller.
But it's the only new thing in any of the consoles. All the others are the same as their last offering, with slightly better graphics - Nintendo is the only company offering something new.

If Sony does not have the GTA series locked up in their stable, what is there left to wait and see? BluRay? The
Wii controller?
You answered your own question.
Oh c'mon. If you want to buy a 360 now, more power to you - but surely we should wait for all the boxes to come out before we pass judgement as to the best console?
(and yes, the GP was a joke).
Nice to see such a civilized (eventually) discussion :-)
Well done to both of you!
It means you can update your "xbox has two good games (if you buy two copies of halo)" jokes to "xbox360 has two good games (if you buy two copies of GTA4)"
hahahahaha, another cute little AC. Do you love Macs like I do?
For the record, AC is taking a quote from the end of my comment out of context. Please read the whole thread.
Also, AC - can you please learn to format your posts to make them more readable?
Oh - Cute little AC!
You didn't bother reading the thread did you?
Nope, you're wrong.
In all the cases you linked to, the culprit fled to the US after committing the crimes in another country.
I was talking about committing a crime against another country whilst still being in the US.
Shut up now.
How about you get an account rather then stalking me anonymously?
Um actually extradition exists for a reason.
Yes, so that criminal who commit a crime in a country, then flee to another country can be returned to the country they committed the crime in.
And he didnt commit his crime in britian, he commited it in Britian AND the United States.
No he was in Britain when the crime was committed. The crime occurred in both countries. Perhaps I did not sufficiently distinguish between the subject & object of my original sentence.
