Well, the ISS is older than XP so I'm not surprised that it was upgraded to XP sometime later.

C'mon. There's a little of extra news that wasn't published before. It wasn't known who got the virus on board and that part about Kaspersky knowing about it is new to me.

Well, your comment made me read the whole article before commenting. The reference to Pluto made me hit the back button.

Although I'm very much miffed by the excessive surveillance of every country these days I don't find this to be the same. Companies and organizations do have the right to check up on people's activities in some manner. If you

I read a half of the article and it doesn't seem to mention where from, but all you need is a camera with image recognition. Number plates are much easier to spot than faces since they are very uniform and flat and would only be transl

I think this is a matter for regulation because unlike a regulation deciding what you can and can't do, this is a regulation of advertising your product. App developers, myself included, have a responsibility of being honest to custome

The original story in Arabic talks about sources publishing online but don't provide any link or other info. Searching for the story online in Arabic only comes up with Syrian news sites and Syrian allies news sites warning against an

In your first point you skip that the reason why Aaron was able to get into the system was that MIT was a breeding place for the hack culture and didn't clamp down on security like keeping the door of the switches closet open and allow

Don't be baffled. When was the last time you went to the movies to see the ordinary life of that normal person called Tony Stark. Buzz is what we desire. As for the TCP/IP and OSI differences, you are being slightly iffy. While th

Well I have to say that some command/API names on unixes for example are horrible. What's up with killing processes. Can't we just say terminate. Since software is mostly developed by a geeky bunch we sometimes forget that we

Why are you taking it as sarcasm? MIT didn't know it was him until they installed a camera and guest logins are the norm and apparently/reportedly have high privileges.

Did you see people throwing themselves out of the World Trade Center not wanting to be burnt alive? Was it their choice to kill themselves? Were they victims of their own minds? Think about your stupid comment for a while.

I totally agree he killed himself just like every suicide victim. The question is why does a person commit suicide? Boredom? Adventure? To get laid? Your comment is the stupidest I've read in a long long time. Down voted.

> Many people, almost by definition, do not believe that their own criminal acts were actually a "crime". Rationalization is a well-known human psychological phenomenon. It is problematic when you accept people's sworn t

I used to think that NASA is exempt by the government from patent royalties when manufacturing equipment for NASA's missions and purposes. But after a little Googling it turns out I am wrong: http://www.cojk.com/nasa-or

Well it is in many crime movies except that our megapixels were not enough for such uses. Now with high resolution images it is relatively easier to do. I'm not surprised by it. It just is another use of tech.

Actually that is not true. When companies do it, laws can be passed to stop such behaviour but when government does it, you have to change governance which is more difficult. Also commercial entities cannot siphon people's data under t

I think the distinction is more like medical researchers and practitioners. CS is more like the research aspect of the craft but once it's done it has to be applied in practice. Sometimes you don't need to be a doctor when feel yo

You do know that one of Aaron's strengths, or at least a point of focus, was gamification. Looking at this article in that light you realize that he was trying to stir up a conversation. He also didn't seem to bother to be nice, a

Well if you think of it, a CEO like Steve Jobs will call the PC a truck... to sell the iPad. • Computer Science = Truck • Treehouse = iPad But how do you make iPad dev tools?
