You wait until there is nigerianMalwareEliza V1 that can simultaneously hold several thousand online conversations whilst trawling for peoples information (think: dob, mothers maiden name, first school, pets name) or finding potential scam victims.
Um, chat online only with people who you know in real life?
I thought the first golden rule of the Internet was - be wary of strangers.
Another of the entrants, Jabberwacky can apparently even woo the ladies: 'Some of its conversational partners confide in it every day; one conversation, with a teenaged girl, lasted 11 hours.'
Apparently they spoke of sweet nothings.
I also welcome our new overlords to be featured in new episodes of MSNBC's "To Catch a Predator."
The encrypted list of words inside the Tom-Skype software blocks the transmission of these words and records personal information about the customers who send the messages.
Don't tell me they're encrypting the text word-by-word.
Sad to say, but that's censorship. Coming from someone I respect like Berners-Lee, I am truly disappointed. Who's to say what is the truth and what is fiction for me? The things on the net are for them to tell and for me to find out.
Surely, I got duped by all those chain mails but I wisened up.
Surely, I got all the emails about Obama being a closeted Muslim but I learned better.
Rating this would be nothing short of censorship and it won't work perfectly which is to say it won't work - period. Look at an algorithm like PageRank which Google bombed so easily. What's to prevent miscreants from messing with this?
I get the part that Google is monopolizing the online advertising space. But that is no reason to sue them. It's true that they set a high bar for entry into the market and they will continue to do so as long as customers flock to them.
The only reason for an antitrust suit would be when the company stifles innovation. But if it does customers will automatically move away from them and move to others who have better services. That's simple economics. DOJ doesn't help the process in any way by suing Google.
My recent brush with VIA is when I bought a HP mini-note laptop which uses the VIA C7 processor. Unfortunately, I ended up picking the laptop with Windows Vista and I'm sorry to say that it is not the right operating system for this category of portable laptops. I am much more happier with Ubuntu loaded on the machine now.
My question to Mr. Welte is, how is VIA working with vendors like HP to promote Linux on this new and exciting range of netbooks that coming out?
Even if the rumors were true, letting news out to market about it would give Intel time to prepare a response (and legal action).
I don't get the legal action part. Is the x86 architecture patented by Intel? Even if it is, wouldn't the patent have expired by now? After all, its more than 30 years old. Do AMD, VIA etc. pay licensing fees to Intel for building processors using the x86 architecture? If so, why cant NVidia?
Seriously, they can afford to Beta hosted applications running on their website and claim that if it crashed it was in "Beta". But software running on consumer devices? I don't think so.
Granted, this is a step in the right direction. I'm all for anything green and this will a good initiative. Having said that, when you talk about racing, you'd expect to see cars and not go-karts. That's what gets the adrenalin pumping in men and replaces their shriveled you-know-what's. Men in little go-karts racing around in a bumper track is not going to get people excited about practical fuel cell technology.

Nudity warning on the above link. Not suitable for work places!
Could it be any other song?

Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the new language, F# or Foctothorpe.
fock the thorpe. get it? fock the thorpe.
eh he he he he....
Maybe they're just too lazy to change the logo?
Try the whole world. According to this counter, the world will be out of IPv4 addresses in 768 days.
So the world runs out of addresses before China runs out?
Did the Chinese government move themselves to outer space?
You'll get idiots like these running around with laser weapons.
...Google is going to slowly absorb everything...
Google announces Google Sponge (Beta)!
The separated carbon dioxide will be cooled down to -28 C and liquefied.
And exactly how much energy are you spending on liquefying the CO2?

is who is going to just donate their hard drive space for no reason?
And their bandwidth?
I don't think I want to be liable for the data that someone puts on my PC should the encryption ever be broken.
Yeah, but I assume that you would be anonymous to others who are storing their data on your disk. Unless of course the DOJ sends them summons.
Anyway, from my understanding not all the information gets stored in one disk. You'll at max get a sixth.
Sounds great, but what happens when a massive worm outbreak occurs?
That's not a problem!
...
Oh, those worms

Isn't that the registrar for Google hosted websites?
And that's all I have to say about that!
"Strangely, this doesn't come with a laser package."
"I thought dolphins came with explosive charges?"
I don't know about either of these...
Oh, what a cute dolphin ..... BOOM!

Dumbass, its a "Space Cube". It should be measured in the fourth dimension as 2 square inches/sec.
