The better strategy would be to release an open platform with exciting potential and let news sites run with it. Look how much free publicity Android's gotten- not because it's been hacked but because it's awesome! Then again if you play the sensible way you can't brick thousands of phones and blame the consumer.
I find it amusing that they even try to lock it down. Unless they seal the thing in adamantium or lock it away in a secure server facility, any system is hackable. Even if it comes down to slicing lines on a PCB or soldering in a modchip between the memory and the northbridge.. it's just absolutely absurd to hand someone a device and tell them they can't hack it.
Well that's SMTP's fault. I guess it's useful to have a totally open point of contact, but hold your nose when you jump in because you shouldn't expect anything but the dregs of the internet. It's absurd to expect anything else if you leave it wide open.
Why would they drop the charges of identity theft and charge him with sending too much email? Who cares if someone spams, SMTP is an open system and it's designed to indiscriminately deliver messages- CAN-SPAM is a terrible idea. If you don't want spam, just don't accept email from every mail server on the internet. ID theft and tax evasion are the real charges here.
Sounds to me like I would never watch a video interrupted by commercials unless it was actually like hour-long (like hulu) so they'd be shooting themselves in the foot, losing their existing ad revenue. Also the autodetected scene changes would never work; the fashion in video editing these days is to use simple frame-to-frame cuts for scene changes.. how are you going to distinguish between the camera cutting around the scene in a fast-paced action scene and actual scene changes? People are going to get annoyed if their action scenes start getting cut up.
Oh come on, where's your engineer's curiosity? This isn't to actually use, it's just a cool technoloogy. Come on admit it, even microsoft can throw together some pretty neat stuff. Besides a lot of people like reading bloggers or watching news relevant to their ideology's interests. For example my parents can't stand CNN because of a percieved liberal bias, so they only watch FOX news. yeah they already agree with everything said but it's still a news source that reports current events and they'd rather get current events from a conservative spin.
What happens when they start getting included in major routing tables and when a backbone goes down, a lot of data's going to start moving through people's devices.. just think of slashdot, no secure login..
This is getting to be ridiculous. There's no way that anyone could juggle 1000 cores in their head and make a synchronous-threaded program. Put the money into quantum computing research and we'll have proper parallel computing.
That's exactly why those slider scanners are so popular nowadays. I also am dubious about the technology because I don't understand it as well as such a simple and effective scheme as a password, but if you lock down your data with volume encryption and encrypt it with your fingerprint data on a TPM then I can't think of any way your data could be recovered from a stolen hard drive.

I make my own foil personally.
Tag privileges? Supporting the GP? Not getting the following meme? You must be new here.
Vigilante justice and torture are also no laughing matter, mod this guy down into oblivion.

Why would anyone use a supercomputer anymore? Hasn't google shown us that it's cheaper to get the same power out of a cluster of servers?
Wait, breasts? o __ o
I know what my viewpoint is. I also know what the opposing viewpoint is. Why would I read news from the opposing viewpoint when it just ticks me off?
What are you talking about, time is time, it's all completely arbitrary anyway.

Ugh you sound like a mac fan. It's "so much easier" for you because you're an idiot and wordperfect has no options.

Me three but I don't get redirected :( I'm on my school's network, I guess they don't support IPv6.
isn't it 3141 5/9 2:65:35am? Yeah 65 isn't a minute, but where did you get 53:58?
...26545... the 26 would round up to 27.
Nope, that's pi approximation day.
It's already 3/14, that's why you celebrate it at 1:59.. 3/14 1:59
The cake is a lie.
Happy pi day :) :)
