Comment Give up - Windows 9 next week (Score -1) 399

Love that open source - who actually looks through those millions of lines of code ?, well obviously somebody did in the last 22 years, with all those multiple crappy software bits that all adds up to one big architectural pile of security poop, bit like google hey ? - What a fantastic security model: "The 22-year-old bug, dating back to version 1.13, lies in Bash's handling of environment variables: when assigning a function to a variable, trailing code in the function definition will be executed, leaving the door wide open for code-injection attacks. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely if code can be smuggled into environment variables sent over the network – and it's surprisingly easy to do so" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/24/bash_shell_vuln/

Comment Something to 'buy' ?, Sounds terra 'bell' to mi (Score -1) 70

Clearly makes no 'cent's, if some organisms within the biosphere have evolved to hear an imaginary sound scale of equal bastardisation to the populations 'temperament'. One could fund such distortions in the cochlioidal inner nature of ones sound sensors, make take ye-ears for SUM to understand, come out of their 'shell' && "sea" the truth with watt their audience may hear hear. A small bone to pick that spirals through the 'octaves' of the spectrum leading to fine 'expression' with application in cosmological physics woven into ones 'score'. How does this 'tuning' offer 'natural' NOT imaginary understanding of ones 'resonance' through the 'harmonics' of the 'scale' one wishes to 'measure' ? Any point going on similar to a broken 'record' ? Clearly you all are 'bach'-ing up the wrong branch of the tree of life, a result of becoming a disciple of incorrect teachings that lack understanding of more Pythagorean 'harmony'. Maybe transmigration back to the source will assist with 'cent-sible' 'composition' of future pieces to 'conduct' the 'orchestration' of events 'rehearsed'. Also with 8 bit resolution you may need a low pass filter to 'temper' your 'binaural' 'beat' noise when contorting your instruments to sound similar to a compressed zip package as you 'pitch' bend your lack of quantum wobble.

Submission + - Deserts 'greening' from rising CO2 (csiro.au)

axonis writes: "In findings based on satellite observations, CSIRO, in collaboration with the Australian National University (ANU), found that this CO2 fertilisation correlated with an 11 per cent increase in foliage cover from 1982-2010 across parts of the arid areas studied in Australia, North America, the Middle East and Africa, according to CSIRO research scientist, Dr Randall Donohue." Do these findings balance talk of 'Carbon Pollution' expunged from political leaders who appear to spend more time at university union bars than those who spend their valuable time in a lab or the library?. Are 'Carbon Pollution' followers the Carbon based life froms that truly pollute this planet ?

Even if there waz 100 million + imperative Masters grade programmers, a small declarative based team using top Microsoft tools could wipe the floor with them all and put that social union into a sustained Hyper V partition for beer training, Im sure apple would give up their $150+Mill 90's sub from Microsoft to comply and compete at a soverign software level ;)

Submission + - Playstation 4 Fans Petition Microsoft to Restore Xbox DRM

An anonymous reader writes: After Microsoft rescinded the DRM policies for the upcoming Xbox One console it had announced earlier at E3, you'd think gamers would be at least mollified, if not ecstatic. But some apparently thought that Microsoft had gotten it right the first time, such as the ability to share a game with up to 10 friends, and so a petition to 'Give us back the Xbox One we were promised at E3' was launched on change.org. The petition was quickly co-opted by Playstation 4 fans (assuming that the original author was playing straight, and maybe he wasn't) seizing an opportunity to haze Microsoft and the Xbox. As of today the petition has 17,500 signees, many accompanied by open forum satire posts reminiscent of the surge in attention given to humble looseleaf binders following an October Presidential debate.

Submission + - Mozilla Launches Firefox OS Simulator 4.0 With Test Receipts

An anonymous reader writes: As promised, Mozilla today announced the release of Firefox OS Simulator 4.0 with a focus on developers who want to make money in the Firefox Marketplace. You can download the new version now for Windows, Mac, and Linux from Mozilla Add-Ons. First and foremost, the new simulator supports test receipts for paid apps: each app’s dashboard features a drop-down menu where you can select a receipt type. Choosing one of these will have the simulator add-on downloading a test receipt from a Marketplace receipt service and reinstalling the app using it. This lets developers test receipt verification with whatever receipts types they may require (valid, invalid, and refunded).

Submission + - Chrome 28 Hits Android With Built-In Google Translate

An anonymous reader writes: Just a day after releasing Chrome 28 on the desktop, Google announced the release of Chrome 28 for Android, adding Google Translate support out-of-the-box and fullscreen support on tablets. You can download the latest version now directly from Google Play. For those that use Chrome on the desktop, this is the same built-in translation bar you’re already used to for quickly skimming a Web page you otherwise wouldn’t be able to understand. Now you can use it while you’re on the go as well.
