Run out in front of an auto car and be able to kill the car's passengers? I don't think so.

Does anyone have a good estimate as to how much wasted electricty is going to "creating" bitcoins?

Norfolk State: "The policy broadly prohibits using any university internet technology resources "to further personal views" or "religious or political causes." It also prohibits downloading or transmitting "inappropriate messages or images," without defining "inappropriate."

zero results. Did you try this before posting? I believe they are shutting them down.

those statements just sound like they want pain relief. "doctor, can you give me something to alleviate this pain and suffering" I'm sure a lot of people say this everyday. They don't want to die and they might get better.

It's not a zero day if it was privately submitted over a month before. Zero Day means "a previously unknown vulnerability". It just wasn't public, so they didn't have as much urgency in fixing. Just stop calling it a zero day bug if the developers knew about it before hand.

Exactly. If you wanted to track down gay men.. go to a gay club and look around (or even stand outside and watch who goes in). You certainly don't waste your time making a fake facebook ad. OMG gay clubs are outing gay men!

It does. Governments around the world are planning on spending trillions of dollars and rerouting much of the energy structure in response to these reports. The reports are based on a few computer models and a few more wild predictions. The programmers here know that computer programs can be wrong, and we all know the wild predictions can be wrong. We want to see the source code and check things ourselves. The IPCC has not done that, and in fact has hidden the source code.

Don't you think $123 Million buys a better browser than Firefox... It's pretty good, but it could be so much better. I'm glad it has more competition.

Does anyone know a way to deactivate Silk? Besides be slow, and the privacy issue with all your communication going through amazon, it also breaks many things. IP Location, File Uploads and internal Networks are all broken with Silk. Not only that, but I've seen it choke on even basic web pages. I just want it turned off.

It's pretty obvious that Amazon will simply cut ties with any companies in CA, resulting in job losses... and no additional revenue from Amazon. They've done this in a number of states.. these types of tax laws have been completely unproductive.

IFRAME and IMG SRC and similiar spam like this could and should be easily preventable. Browsers however don't normally pass information on the nature of the request. That is, it could tell the server it's coming from a click, a javascript, an iframe, and img src or whatever. Sites should be able to refuse incoming requests that are from an iframe. A simple HTTP header with the type of request would help greatly. It wasn't created as a method of attack, but it's used that way.

They just bred a relatively common form of bacteria and gave it arsenic instead of phosphorus. It survived, but not as well.

People are running around saying NASA discovered alien life.... and that's just wrong.

Tell me about it. I wouldn't even consider these "holes" as they aren't (immediately) remotely exploitable. If that were the case, firefox has the same "major security hole", as it remembers my bank username and passords. I'm not even sure if the iphone apps are locally exploitable with out the os level jailbreak first? It's simply the loudest "researcher" that gets the most headlines and generates the most noise.

Not all androids have the app market out of the box... and there are a few versions sold, with upgrades not easy.
