Yeah - the fact that MicroSoft screwed up on security is not news, but that someone is writing an Algol compiler (58/60/68 not withstanding) should be front page material on slashdot.

What's up with that?

I find your signature somewhat ironic - they did take the sky from Bull, didn't they?

I'm not sure what you mean by a "release group" but suspect you mean illegal distribution. The fingerprint is of the first few seconds of the audio of the file. A legal download from emusic or itunes or amazon has the same fingerprint.

.

Unless the RIAA subtly change the music to fingerprint every CD uniquely, and then track from the point of sale with your information and watch for that fingerprint on the internet. (Dang, haven't quite got the conspiracy theory thing down quite yet!)

If the story is false, who will read TechCrunch again?
...
Actually, quite a few people, I guess. The attraction of this sort of thing for certain people is a "well known fact" as they say. It is relatively easy to post things and enjoy the notority they bring. I'm not saying it would ever happen on /., but you never know where else this might happen.

I'm not sure that using a TechCrunch story to verify a TechCrunch story is any sort of unbiased confirmation. Also, a picture of an email is not the type of "proof" that I'd be willing to accept from anyone I knew personally, let alone a provocative website.

Well, no. Amaya has never been useful as a primary browser. ;-)

(Unless it changed really significantly with release 11.)

With MathML coming into other browsers - okay, it came into Opera - I really don't see anything to promote Amaya any more.

Do you mean that it is a disservice pack?

Hey they are all safer now.
