Sure you do! It's called OSX.
Actually, it's called Mac OS X. (If that's what you're talking about.)

Why are you guys all capitalizing "hub"? It's like noobs who write "MAC" when talking about modern Apple computers.

The problem here is precisely BECAUSE the certificate is not using a null-terminated string; it is the Pascal-style behaviour which has facilitated the problem.
I think you're confused.

really, that's what patents are for
Uh, no, that's not at all what patents are for.
Patents are for implementations.
You can't patent, trademark or copyright an idea.

Seriously, why does this company keep getting its name into headlines? Who gives a shit what they feel a bunch of components might cost? Come on, shills. This is a do-nothing company that pisses its pants for publicity, and places like the Mac rumors sites and Slashdot lap it up and parrot their squawkings.
It requires no more than a grade-school education to understand that the price to design, manufature, market, support and service a product is greater than the sum of the wholesale cost of its physical components.
Enough.
Take this stupid company with their silly name out back, shoot it, and don't mention it again.

Verizon Wants To Share Your Personal Information 236
hyades1 writes "Gizmodo reports that Verizon is sending out notification letters infested with virtually-indecipherable legalese. In their sneaky, underhanded way, they're informing you that you have 45 days to opt out of their plan to share your personal data with 'affiliates, agents and parent companies.' That data can include, but isn't limited to, 'services purchased (including specific calls you make and receive), billing info, technical info and location info.' If you view your statement on-line, you won't even get the letter. You'll have to access your account and view your messages. However, Read Write Web says the link provided there, called the 'Customer Proprietary Network Information Notice,' was listed as 'not available.' No doubt Verizon would like to reassure you that everyone they're going to hand your personal data over to will have your best interests at heart."
