    This seems like a very obvious case. If the government wants the data, it needs to come and copy it, possibly seize the hard drives, or if it doesn't want to do any of that but sti…

    Theres a freaking "Apple distinguished educator" logo on the bottom. We need to talk about taking education, not brand loyality serious.

    This is probably woefully inaccurate for driving. It would be great for public transport, but I hear thats not too big with you americans.

    Really? Are there no actual programmers out there anymore? Is this the future? Kids with huge inflated egos, showing off their "look how fast my (RAM|Network) is" micro-benchmarks …

    It's not a flaw, because the flaw in this case was a feature! That's what we call "insecure by design". Its PHPs register_globals all over again.

    This sounds like a "register_globals" feature. Are people still that obtuse to basic security?

    Compare two 64 bit registers and a jump on a match? Just a few gates? You wish.

    Full details? It's as few details as they can possibly report. I guess thats the actual underlying problem here. They don't want to give all the details because then it would quick…

    The trigger wasn't 2GB, but "top 5%". Every customer that is affected by the 5% rule will very likely try to reduce his consumption. So when you take the limit as time approaches i…

    Most people wouldn't ever upload anything illegal directly anyway. They compress it, split it up and then put a password on the whole thing. Theres no way to tell whats in the file…

    Eh, I think you have no clue what the actual customer wants. The problems of the average computer user are probably more of the "I don't want to get robbed from this scareware" kin…

    Right. Simple deflate will compress these 30 pictures down so that you can send them in an 'instant' over 3G as the article says. No. That's not how it works.

    So what you're saying is that you should save the 10$ from the 15$ you pay for a Cortex and instead spend many many days to end up with a outlandishly slow solution? I take it this…

    You can claim your DUI was a mistake, a blunder, an oversight on your part, but that won't save you from a conviction. There apparently seem to be no such consequences when the gov…

    Neat feature. In my opinion, they should go even further and make use of the information and inform the user, too: "Your ISP (network administrator, ..) is intercepting and manipul…

    They have ruined security for everyone by allowing government agencies (they didn't even bother to setup a front) and other questionable entities on that list. The correct response…
