The article mentions the hosting company is called Bang the table. Where have I heard that before?
Yup, recently someone in pandasthumb.org quoted someone famous saying, "If the law is on your side, bang on the law, If facts are on your side, bang on the facts, if neither, bang on the table".

Last time when I was in India, every time my brother made an ATM withdrawal he got a text message to his phone. Every time he made a big charge in the credit card he got a text message. Alerting people to withdrawals and transfers immediately would be a good first step. The banks get early warning and stop the fraud quickly. Of course you should not be able to change the alert phone number via the internet, and you should be able to set a threshold on the amount that triggers alerts.
Or is it so optimized that they use an eye dropper to feed this thing seven drops of gasoline and extrapolate how far it would have traveled if it really had a gallon of fuel? I mean if you have to stop every mile to refuel, they might easily build a rubber band powered vehicle that gives infinite miles per gallon.
Bad analogy. It is like holding the car company responsible for making cars without doors and locks when they get stolen. True, stealing a car is a criminal activity. But designing a car that can not be secured effectively is aiding and abetting.
This amazing new drug from Pfizer called !Prozac, pronounced Not-Prozac. It has the complete opposite effect on a human body. !Prozac, when ingested by a normal human being, it will trigger multiple-personality-disorder. Now you can use one identity for your normal law-abiding activities without any concern about privacy and data mining etc. Then you can use the other identity for nefarious, criminal and/or shameful activities. Infact the other identify can ingest another dose of !Prozac and create another personality. Recursively! Your criminal personality A does not have to know what your shameful personality B is doing. Just look at the hoops people are willing to jump through just to get prOn!

We clearly all forgot that little footnote in the Bill of Rights which says "not a guarantee, void where prohibited by law, some rights sold separately"
You forgot the "valid only on participating jurisdictions"
These guys do things that appear to literally be magical in nature, organizing millions of highly custom data points into a coherent data set and slapping a slick UI over top in a matter of weeks.
When the salesmen of the vendors do things that appear to be magical, I hold on to my wallet tight if it is my decision. Or set up a paper trail to protect my tail if it is not.
Wish there were more managers like you. I have seen managers walk away leaving a million bucks on the table because of some imagined affront to his/her dignity or it was not "worth" the trouble.
You are confusing revenue with profit. When the market is that small your costs are amortized over a smaller customer base and the margins are much smaller. Microsoft has high employee cost and benefits. If it takes in 1 billion it would just barely break even or book a profit of 20 or 30 million bucks. It would get better returns if it just parks a billion on long term bond index fund something like 5.5% to 6%.
There was a time Microsoft could just wonder aloud about entering a market segment and all venture capital in that area would just evaporate, faster than water spilled on a Dubai sidewalk. It could withdraw support for this or that, and there would be virtual stampede to stop using the end-of-lifed product. Those were the old days when Microsoft got lots of undeserved benefit.
Now the market pendulum has swung around. Venture capital would flow to every niche vacated by Microsoft. Microsoft would be blamed and penalized, much of it undeservedly. But that is the regression to the mean. This is the time it pays back all that undeserved benefits it booked in late 1990s.
The total *revenue* last year in enterprise search is just 1.1 billion dollars, according to Gartner, according to the article. It is going to touch 2 billion may be in 2013, again according the article. Considering that Microsoft gets 6.5 billion dollars *profit* per quarter, this is chump change. Further, Google is synonymous with search. It sells the Google Server in a Box, that does mail, calender, shared docs all behind the firewall of the client, unreachable by either the pings from the internet, or by subpoena. If this market segment grows, it is going to be growing the way Google wants it.
Where would you hide a tree? In a forest of course. Every time there is a new technology is found, the terrorists and criminals use it first and the law enforcement is way behind and always plays catch up. The Mumbai attackers were using prepaid satellite phones and VOIP routed through New Jersy to get constant feed back while they were on their rampage inside the Taj hotel. Wait for a day or two, and you will see that angle will be mentioned. Whether sincerely or as a diversionary tactic by Paypal or by RBI I don't know. But it is a well known fact the terrorists use havala trading systems very effectively and Paypal would not be a big step for them.
Well, Men outnumber women 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 in prison population too! Simple scientific fact is that there is more variation among men than in women. You will find more men at the bottom end of stupidity scale as well as at the top of intelligence scale. More men on the shorter side of the population as well as taller segment of the population. More men in risky all-or-nothing ventures as well as in safe-as-Fort-Knox job preferring bean counters.
VC, company forming etc are off the well beaten path. No wonder there are more women than men there. Find something that is the polar opposite of founding companies and seeking venture capital, (Japanese company man?) you will find more men there as well.
Why do we Americans put up with this kind of nonsense? How can anyone phoo phoo off something as serious as tritrium in drinking water?
As true Americans who cherish tradition, we should always take our raioactive elements in the traditional way. First mine it with coal, then burn it in a furnace, disperse it through smoke and then ingest it via the lungs. That is the American way. One second before you mod me down as a Luddite, remember I do support modern innovations, like mountain top removal and long wall mining.
Other possible applications may include ultra-precise autonomous navigation, such as landing planes by GPS.'
As soon as they fix the unintended acceleration and unresponsive braking in earth bound vehicles, they will take the next step, is landing the plane by GPS.

It does not contradict the Bible at all. After all the evilution, they still remain the molecule kind.

That thing got four arms. Come on, that is cheating.
