Windows is only insecure because they've set it up like that to aid consumers. Indeed. For where would your average windows consumer be, without a useful selection of botnets, keyloggers and trojans, installed silently for their browsing

ICANN, ICANT [edit] In all seriousness though, is there any actual news about the specifics of why he resigned?

One of the best coders I know is female. She left the UK to work out in the far east where she is considered less of an oddity.

I know they are not. I was commenting on that. I assumed that you posted a big list to demonstrate the lack of women in CS. [edit] reading over, I could have been a lot more clear. I should have said "which group" rather than "who"

I wasn't trying to find a massive list, droithomme asked "where are the technical contributions" by women in computing, not "who has the biggest list" . Really, all I needed to write down was Grace Hopper. Compilers being fairly useful i

Unless the thesis is that women have suddenly got crap at computing, I think that historic references are valid.

I use both, often without noticing. I think I tend to be more likely to use treble or trebled at the end of sentence and triple or tripled in the middle of one. Note, I am not claiming this as any sort of sensible usage, am just commenting

Surely these guys were perfect anarcho-capitalists. They bowed to no system of external rule, while making as much money as possible.

My point was as I said. There are two main definitions of coercion, one of which is stricter than the other. I was just replying to the statement that McDonalds does not employ coercion by pointing out that it rather depends on which defini

Depends whether you accept emotional manipulation in the definition of coercion, or use the more strict definition and restrict the concept only to actual or threatened force.

Businesses have thrown billions at turning the psychological research on persuasion into money and in the process have turned propaganda from an art into a science. They have a significant edge over the individual on this and have done it q

I didn't know I get to come to Mars as well. Well this is fantastic. I'll certainly give it a go. I take it you are paying for the tickets? I'd like a first class window seat if that's at all possible. Have the lab cleaned up and I'll go fi

Are we infringing on any patents yet? Don't even think of looking, and sing loudly with your fingers in your ears if anyone tries to inform you. Otherwise you are willfully infringing and the damages are trebled. http://heinonline.org/HO

Just like Abu Ghraib is ust another side to the general corruption and outright gangsterism that often characterises the modern US, right? Bingo. Not for the country as a whole, or the people within it, but definitely for the executive br

I would reasonably suspect that the person might need a phone while they are studying here. Your view of the law seems to be that it is something dictated over you, rather than something we all make up, mostly in court.

Selling something to someone in a shop who can speak in a language other than english and who was born somewhere else doesn't qualify as suspicion of violating an export restriction, unless you have such appallingly lousy pattern recognitio

An incremental only approach to design is non-design in my view. Nearly all design is incremental. That's how design works. That's partly why chairs are still recognizably chairs, and other useful stuff like that.

Not that irrelevant... it is just another side to the general corruption and outright gangsterism that often characterises the modern UN. They also voted to legalise the execution of homosexuals only recently. http://thenewcivilrightsmovem

It's linguistic profiling, and it's the only reasonable way to enforce the export law. Only if you are being a completely stupid and bigoted bastard. Otherwise the only sane way to enforce an export law if you are a company, is to not del

No, but it can remove a lot of load, which gives more horses for the realtime stuff. And when you factor in webGL, for shifting load to the graphics hardware, then there is a hell of a lot that can be done in the browser.

Serious horsepower is a latency issue these days. Anything that takes a lot more time to process than the round trip time, might be worth running on the cloud. CAD operations, for instance are very optimisable this way by having a local and

How on earth can this be presented as a new phenomena? Surely this has been going on as long as mail-order catalogues have been around. If you are running a bricks and mortar business you have never been able to compete on price. You have t
