This time next week it will 'iPhone could add two inches to your manhood' or 'iPhone could enable owner to travel in time and space' at this rate. My brother got an iPhone, started playing around with it......then checked his watch to find that three days had gone by. Sounds like time travel to me!
Anybody else been reading "The Bear and the Dragon" by Tom Clancy lately? This is exactly the event in the book that precipitates China launching a massive invasion on Russia.
THANK YOU for bringing this up. I have been pondering on this very topic for weeks and am happy to see others observing it as well.
I believe we do need some reform in the way our legislature is operated. Right now bills are so vast in scope that our elected legislators have to choose between voting for the bad parts of the bill or voting against the good parts. Read that last sentence again..
Not to mention that a vote for or against a bill can be used by a political opponent as ammunition in a debate. It's just so damned dishonest.
This is the main reason I would support an amendment allowing the president a line-item veto (subject to possible override by the legislative branch, such as we already have). For that matter, why can't the congress and senate start tallying votes on a qualified basis (I vote for the bill, except I vote against section 5, 7 and 23)?
This seems like an odd move for apple to exclude developers from the iPhone platform. The Apple II got creamed in the market--even though the product was technically superior--because Apple insisted on restricting access to the platform. You'd think they learned their lesson the last time.
I suspect this has more to do with the iPhone OS itself not yet being secure. Apple would get serious egg on its face if the iPhone were pwned like the rival operating system they poke so much fun at.
-Patent the obvious.
-Push for MS-Favorable patent laws
-Cross-license patents as ONE revenu[e] stream
-Sue into oblivion companies that create real products, as the other revenu[e] stream. You forgot two:
-???
-Profit!
Fixed that for ya.
During the last EclipseCon, Hugh Thompson (of in-flight Tetris crashing fame) showed us a hack in notepad discovered using fuzz testing. Open up a fresh notepad and type in the words, "this app can break" (without the quotes). Then save the document to file, close notepad, and double-click the file you just saved to bring it back up in notepad. Everything will appear as squares. Not a major exploit, and definitely not a DoS, but kind of interesting.
Apparently that specific line of text exploits the way that notepad determines whether the file is encoded in ASCII or Unicode.

Attention moderators: parent post was a joke. Loosen up
In Utah, this is what we call a "faith promoting rumor."
I better go make some popcorn.
Another slow news day on Slashdot.

I tried typing in what you said and saved it, but when I loaded it again, it said "Nothing to see hear. Move along." Weird.

Look out, it's coming right for us! **BANG**
Some of the slides are whitewashed on the video, making it difficult to read. Can you post a link to the slides in pdf or powerpoint format online?
No disassemble!
Let's see them resist me when I equip my silver tunic with a +10 charisma!
