The camera of an iPhone has a lot higher resolution than 960x720. The screen of an iPhone 4 is 960x720, but the OCR algorithm wouldn't run on what the app eventually outputs to the screen.

Sounds like they're letting their customers benefit from Open Source just fine:

> Here is an incomplete sampling of the projects we utilize, we have contributed back to most of them: Hudson, Hadoop, Hive, Honu, Apache, Tomcat, Ant, Ivy, Cassandra, HBase, etc, etc.

That's a lot more than many companies that use Open Source (and have Linux clients or applications) do. Contributing back to the projects benefits everyone - not just users of FOSS desktop systems, but everyone that interacts with a system built on those projects.

Any application that could log your keystrokes can also monitor your clipboard. And - while we're at it - take screenshots periodically and record the coordinates of mouse clicks, potentially defeating on screen keyboards.

No.

But that's because they're bound by patient confidentiality, and not a boilerplate 10 year "don't talk about anything you learned at work" NDA.

So the two cases don't really compare. At all.

Because reputation based systems (i.e., anyone hosting more than 1,000 mail accounts, and some smaller systems) are going to see that you don't own that IP, and don't own the reverse lookup on that IP. So they will score you badly.

On top of that it's virtually guaranteed that your ISP explicitly forbids running services on your home Internet connection, and probably even mentions email as a service you're not allowed to run. Most large ISPs also block all TCP/25 traffic going through their networks that is not aimed at their own email servers (which is why TCP/587 is so popular for SMTP submission with third party email providers), and you HAVE to use that port for server to server email traffic.

Those are just some reasons.

> Stallman warns would-be hackers not to download the LOIC software being pushed as a method of expressing anger with sites that have acted against Wikileaks - not because he thinks the protest is wrong, but because the tool's code is not visible to the user. "It seems to me that running LOIC is the network equivalent of the protests against the tax-avoiders' stores in London. We must not allow that to constrict the right to protest," he notes. "[But] if users can't recompile it, users should not trust it."

LOIC's source code is available on SourceForge.

> I'm sure the book is more nuanced than this

Have you read it? That's an odd way to phrase things if you had read it, though. But why would you recommend it if you hadn't?

> It's none of their business if I jailbreak my phone.

Agreed. It is, however, your company's business if you jailbreak the phone they gave you. THEIR phone. Which is what the article is about - enterprise software detecting whether you jailbroke THEIR phone.

Damn skippy you don't jailbreak the phone that your workplace gave you. After all, they own that phone. Literally.

Which is what the article is actually about - functionality that allows enterprise software to detect whether a phone deployed through that enterprise has been jailbroken. It's a simple part of compliance testing of work issued equipment.

> No, it sounds like they're putting the hate on Emacs users

Yes, they actually are.

> You cannot run programs on your filesystem from within the chroot. For example, if you are using eclipse as an IDE, or gedit to edit a text file, you will need to run it outside the chroot. As a consolation, you can can use vim. If you desperate for emacs, try typing sudo emerge emacs. Of course it will build it from source so allow 5-10mins.

That's only true if you ignore that virtually all businesses of decent size are going to want provider independent space. IPv6 was indeed designed to be strictly hierarchical and to have everyone take ISP IP space - but that doesn't work for larger businesses in practice. Larger businesses need to multihome with multiple providers to protect against provider failure. There are some design proposals out there for 'shims' that would let you run a server on an address from ISP 1 and recover the session with a client to an IP address from ISP 2, but those aren't real yet. The only real solution we have is to give businesses provider independent space that they then announce to both ISPs - and that point you're off worse than you are with IPv4 as there are far more potential routes due to the larger address space.

There is a different theory: that man settled down first, which led to trash near the settlements. Wolves then evolved selecting for having a shorter flight distance to feed off the trash, essentially 'domesticating' themselves.

"Nature" on PBS has a show on crows the other week. It was fairly impressive.

They set up an experiment where a piece of food was between two sheets of plastic, about 10 inches in. The sheets were so close together the crow couldn't stick its head in. A stick 12 inches long was put behind bars in a way that the crow wasn't able to retrieve it, about 6 inches in. An 8 inch stick was placed at the end of a string tied to a branch. Crows were able to pull up the string, retrieve the short stick, use it to retrieve the long stick, and use that to retrieve the meat. Not only were they using tools - something very rare - but were able to use tools to get other tools, which apparently hadn't even been observed in primates.

Crows also learn from one another. A crow was watching another crow bend a piece of wire to retrieve food. It started doing the same thing.

No, because only time requirements are multiplied by pi, and only pi. Cost requirements are multiplied by ten.
