Until all wireless routers are mandated by law to be well-secured. Then breaking and entering becomes an easier method of gaining internet access.

Why should I care that Amazon builds an aggregate summary?
What if your (admittedly stupid) note said "This passage is exactly what happened to my wife, Jenny Smith, last night at our home address of 12345 Stupid street in Stupidville."? Or more likely, you annotated someone's name and address or phone number in your kindle because you had it with you by the pool, but you didn't have your phone.
Transcranial Magnetic Stmulation is used to ameliorate auditory hallucinations in schizophrenics.
So what you're saying is that ball lightning might be around everywhere but we're all suffering visual hallucinations masking its presence until we receive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?
Well, 10.10 will be like that, only for people who aren't thieves.
I read your post and I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you explain please?
Obviously anyone who purchases Mac OS X Snow Leopard and doesn't purchase Apple Hardware to run it on is a dirty, dirty thief who is stealing the hardware profit from Apple. He should have bought an iPad to run Snow Leopard on instead of a netbook.
With no judicial record, Ms. Kagan is less known. As dean at Harvard Law School, she hired conservative professors to expand academic diversity and has supported assertions of executive power. Sounds like someone Bush/Cheney would have nominated.

Eat lunch by yourself so that you won't be obligated to reveal personal information.
Quickest way to alienate yourself and become first on the chopping block. If everyone eats lunch in, bring your lunch too. If everyone eats lunch out, go with them. If you can't afford to eat out, make an effort; suggest Taco Bell, letting the gang know you're strapped for cash but trying to be part of the group. You're not obligated to reveal personal information at lunch, but in my experience, people who ignore any and all lunches with coworkers are viewed as snobbish loners, and their work ethic seems to be the same (they are the people that ignore meetings, ignore policies, etc).
You're wrong in saying administrator access is the basic difference between Linux and Windows. The most basic difference is in default file permissions. Windows ties read and execute together by default. You put an executable on a Windows system and it's immediately executable by anyone. That is not true with Linux. Executables are only executable by default if a a system tool, such as apt-get, yum, etc... is used to install them. Otherwise, the user himself must add the execute permission to the file.
I set my system wide umask to 000 and leave it to my users (including root) to lock down each file. I feel it's more in the spirit of RMS's admin philosophy. I haven't had a problem yet. My real problem is with all of the "ls"es that keep getting copied into every directory.
So, suppose I'm the business end of a botnet.
What does administrator access give me?
Your botnet client runs on boot, and much more quietly than under a user account. Under a user account, you have to start on login, and end communication when he logs off. Plus, with admin you can open FW ports, install other services, etc.
administrators may end up making the wrong decisions about applying the update.
Decision? Automatically apply updates and reboot? Check.

A Mac is still a "personal computer" they just picked the wrong overloaded jargon. They meant personal computer, they said PC, which typically means any non-mac and even more specifically usually means "Wintel computer"
No, they chose correctly. PC means Personal Computer. Macs _are_ PCs. Gasp!
Also, the owners of Steam must be stupids too, and seriusly, It a system that is probably losing a lot of money. Sure?
No, the owners of Steam are devilishly smart. People keep touting Steam as Amazing! Magnificent! Outstanding! Fantastic! but they keep forgetting one tiny detail: Valve "promises" to release patches that fix Steam games if Valve ever goes under so that they don't require activation to reinstall. How many Steam games are there now? When the group that buys out a failing Valve finds out about this non-legally binding "promise", what do you think they'll say? "Sure, we're liquidating everything anyway, go ahead and work on our dime to write thousands of patches, rent some server space, and distribute the patches for the next year, it's the only right thing to do."? More like "Get out developers, you're fired. If Our IP (these patches) is released, you'll be brought up on corporate espionage charges. If you develop the patches outside of work, or after firing, we've got DMCA/ACTA/SCARYNEWACRONYM on our side"
Adobe needs to write a tool that converts flash source or binary directly to Objective C.
Hint: Compiler is a text transformation tool, hence this compiler emits flash to Objective C code.
Then developers could use Object C "Compiler" from iStore or GNU and create a "Program" that was using apple approved "Source" and generate iPhone executable.
Now apple can not deny it at all.
Sure they can. IIRC, the new EULA says "Nothing not Originally Developed in C, C++, or Objective C" Not much to do about that. Hell, you can't even write your program in pseudocode on a whiteboard.
usenet spam remains a mystery to me. I just don't understand why spammers take the energy to bother spamming usenet. Presumably usenet users are a higher class of user. While email spam presumably continues to yield good results, I just can't imagine usenet spam yields a single sale...
What if it were a spam ad for "Super low interest rate mortgage. Buy your own place, get out of your mother's basement. Impress women!"? I'd google the company's name at least.
Remember, a successful parasite doesn't kill the host, or make the host want to kill itself. Ramp down your spam relays or you're going to lose your host media. Eventually even email will become a burden again; I'm having to check three tiered spam filters for legit mail, and more spam is getting through all three while a little legit mail is getting caught in different filters.
You expected flawless results from the "push the bar", "heavy" challenge? *sigh*
I was talking about the one case where the impossible almost happened. At a quick glance, in the CS5 frame, that sign post is missing. It did better in that case then with most of the others except the car and human in the first picture. There are obvious flaws in the CS5 algo; taking small things like the lion symbol and copying them in new places when a simple blend parallel to the adjacent lines would have been much better. It's obviously an algorithm designed for the chaos of nature rather than the line-heavy world of man.
It should be named content Un Aware. It's not aware of what's behind the hole, so it's extrapolating. Even in this image: http://blog.ultradownloads.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Rua-do-Aljube_Blog2.jpg where CS5 is touted to have completely replaced the sign pole on the right, the car now has two lion symbols, identical shadows, tiles seem to fall off the church roof, a tree trunk is the wrong color, and there is something that looks like steam coming from the antenna. Neither of the effects looks like something I'd attempt to use on anything more than a telephone pole in a sky-shot, and even then, I'd want a slider bar or something that I could get hundreds of options for the replacement. Then I'd retouch it more afterward.
It's so common on windows (especially with specialized network services like flexlm) that we've had to completely disable ipv6 via GPO. Clients would never failover.

If Amazon is collecting notes, expect a few "Impress her with your stamina. Buy viagra at http://penisexperts.com/." notes in the near future.
I wish authors of parent comments could pass on mod points to their children like an inheritance. You are spot-on.

To be fair i believe that Blizzard do make most of their money from WOW. (citation needed)
