From your own article reference:

Many security researchers agree that Windows operating systems will always be more vulnerable to malware. That’s because the vast majority of PC owners are Windows users, and that gives “the bad guys” greater economic incentive to attack Windows systems.

Thus, even though Windows 7 ships with more built-in security features than Apple’s Mac OS X, the Mac is still safer because fewer malicious hackers are targeting the less-popular platform.

Actually, the One Child policy in China has been successful, to the tune of 300 to 400 million less people than if the policy had not been implemented back in 1979.

I signed up for an account using a UK-based anonymous proxy site, and entered a valid UK postal code (which I got from a postal code lookup site). I use a free UK proxy server to run the application. As far as Spotify is concerned, I live in the UK and run Spotify from inside the UK. Fortunately I signed up while the UK still didn't need an invite to get an account.

I've seen plenty of people commit crimes in front of cameras, but they usually aren't criminals, just bad movie/TV actors.

You mean the George Lucas that made the Ewoks???

For those who are wondering how to get a fake SSN from a block that won't get allocated, the easiest thing to do is just change the first digit of your real SSN to an "8" - no SSN starting with 8 has ever been allocated and likely will not be for quite some time.

The SSA needs to implement a system that links a password to your SSN. You would be able to go to ssa.gov and generate a temporary password off your SSN that expires in a few days (of course you would have to input a lot of your personal info before it would allow you to generate a password). This password could be given to creditors/businesses along with your SSN for purposes of a credit check and/or establishing identity, and it would do a lot to prevent identity theft. I don't know how difficult or expensive it would be to implement this, but I think the benefits would be well worth it.

The Mac Fanboys should actually be happy, because this means their OS is finally getting enough market share to make it worth creating a Mac botnet.

To me, BSG was really a cautionary tale about the implications that technology can have on a society. The show's recurring theme was "all this happened before and all this will happen again." It was necessary to have that last scene of present day Earth and our current advances in robotics technology in order to show that we could be on the same path as the humans that created the Cylons.

How exactly are they of higher quality? Do they somehow get better quality CPU's from Intel off the production line? Better quality RAM chips? Hard drives? GPU's? I'm curious to know.
