Listen up y'all. Hitchbot had it comin...he was really snitchbot...
U kno that shitchbot was really put out there by my FBI man Bobbie Mueller...we knew he was down with those South Jerzey boyz. Just lucki we took care of him before he went East Coast and they never would have found him...
I will take the word of 12 BPD cops over the bloody carcass of some 19-year old punk hiding in the hull of a boat with gun any day. Your anonymous fanboy venting notwithstanding.
I am a sysadmin on several web apps and I went and got the official security alert. I have to admit I am a bit confused by the message:

Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2013-0422
Description
This Security Alert addresses security issues CVE-2013-0422 (US-CERT Alert TA13-010A - Oracle Java 7 Security Manager Bypass Vulnerability) and another vulnerability affecting Java running in web browsers. These vulnerabilities are not applicable to Java running on servers, standalone Java desktop applications or embedded Java applications. They also do not affect Oracle server-based software.
The fixes in this Alert include a change to the default Java Security Level setting from "Medium" to "High". With the "High" setting, the user is always prompted before any unsigned Java applet or Java Web Start application is run.
These vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., they may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password. To be successfully exploited, an unsuspecting user running an affected release in a browser will need to visit a malicious web page that leverages these vulnerabilities. Successful exploits can impact the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the user's system.

Yet Oracle released another notice that talks about a critical patch update for several Oracle products (ie.: db, app servers, etc.)
Ha ha. I used to own a Volkswagen Beetle - the kind with the battery under the back seat. In the days before the plastic insulation clip for the nodes, this was a real fire hazard because there was a metal bench-seat frame resting over the battery. A friend of mine, a somewhat heavy-set girl, was riding home from college with me. She sat on the exact spot needed to short the battery. By the time we got home, flames were shooting out from under the rear bench seat. I don't think I have laughed as hard since that time.
There's only one thing more tiring than pop science and that is knowing our tax dollars (state. local and federal) are financing these ridiculous studies.
The problem with plugins, for the consumer, is not all of the usual equivocation between gas-driven vehicles. The problem with plugins is actually that they are not hybrids. There are some very real technical limitations that consumers very easily understand - mechanical problems, new technology, performance, and, at a simple level, no juice.
Just look at Consumer Reports highly publicized review of the Fiskar Karma all-electric: http://news.investors.com/article/604114/201203121905/broken-fisker-karma-towed-by-consumer-reports.htm?p=full
The $100K Karma with a K (which was supposed to be the all-electric sports car) died on arrival. Why would I buy a Leaf / Karma / etc., if I can do all take care of those social responsibility do-gooder things with a hybrid.
Extending your overly simplified analogy:
Is it possible that "the poor" you pontificate about might be offered a job by the merchant?
Is not unlikely the merchant has a baseball bat (or a gun) anyway?
Mechelle Obama and Mayor Bloomberg have advised me not to do so much business with you anymore. They said you make me fat, were not carbon neutral and the resources you consume could be better used powering my electric car.
Sorry.
I got a better idea...get rid of the futile and regressive sales taxes. Make Amazon and other brick and mortar companies pay their share for roads and infrastructure and their civil services that they use. Make everyone else pay their share for police, fire, social services, parks, firework shows, etc., with an emphasis on what they use.
These local budget items have little to do with the things that we buy at stores.
There is no profit incentive to "loyalty" in many jobs
God of course there is, are you crazy? These companies are paying for the training in OTJ training time, its just that noone bothers to keep track of this cost. It happens all the time when a newer upgraded version of a product comes out (takes loyal people to build upon the old). Or, it happens in a negative way when incomplete projects are abandoned with someone leaves. Just because bean counters don't want to measure it doesn't mean that it doesn't affect a profit incentive
I can sympathize with you. Of course digital encyclopedias make sense but the lack of hard copy encyclopedias will certainly produce a void, especially for young people.
There is something to be said for the serendipity found in having a massive book of alphabetized facts in plopped in your lap. You pick up a volume of the encyclopedia, for example the A book, searching for Anatomy and get drawn into Agnosticism. The most powerful knowledge in the world can sometimes be thrown in front of you by accident and you end up eating it up.
In today's world of search indeces and databases, the information is so stratified that you only end up getting a small taste of knowledge that doesn't fit inside the algorithm.
...whose time has not come.
Can anyone document a single incident unto which this law might have helped? Have we had any IT infrastructure in the US compromised in such a way that has produced life-threatening results to the general public?

Nothing incriminating about firing an automatic weapon from the lower hull of a boat...
Whatever education is being financed, it seems history is no longer a part of it.
Ha! Your just a shill for stupidanalogiesrus.com
Next time there is an election and he/she/it candidate proposes "tort reform", vote for them! Slow progress == bad laws + civil judgements
Like spending $1,000,000 for Biden to party in Europe for 2 nights?

Does anybody understand why there are cpu's for their products if the zde doesn't affect there products?

I'll go one step further - BECAUSE THEY MELTED INTO THE GROUND. Never mind the toxic waste that was an EV.

Unfortunately I am gainfully employed right now so I am kinda busy. If I could earn some mod points, I would mod you up.
