I think in relation to viruses, the better term is to "disable" a virus rather than to "kill" it since it is not all clear that a virus is actually a living thing. This is a point that seems still to be in discussion.

Nice troll, but it only worked because the summary was badly written (once again).

Not even that, it's some random guy that has absolutely no connection to the issue whatsoever. You are basically sending mail to whatever random email address (usually form a spammers address list itself) is in the from field which is about the easiest thing to forge. If anything, a bounce should go to the sending MTA which will handle these things gracefully. I have enjoyed backscatter and it is no fun.

Why stop there? I'd go even further and use \Program Files\ and \Windows\System. A simple simple sed s/\//\\/g on all system source files should fix any incompatabilities.

Indeed, what needs to be done is shoot a few hundred thousand people in the head and have those that survive breed.

In the german paper at least, it says that it is not currently detected.

Rage has been out for iOS devices for some time. Perhaps this is the first major game release that came over from the Apple touch-based devices first?

While the headline is accurate, it very optimistically misleads by omission. This was not the newsworthy portion of the judge's ruling. All of Google's other attempts for summary judgement that were submitted at the same time were denied. Google had attempted to reduce the case to a patent-only licensing case, but the judge saw their actions as a much larger copyright issue. The only thing he threw out was the file name copyright claims, which Oracle was silly to include in the first place.

The headline is almost the same as saying that a glass with one sip of water in it is practically overflowing. The implications of the ruling for anyone that ever copied a header file, but wrote their own implementations, are huge!

Uhm what about SC2? Imagine that as an FPS.

It looks like the whole wikileaks, and all related like openleaks, issue (to whom ever it is an issue) is solving itself. It is really rather unfortunate to see this play out in such a childish way. The general idea, to provide a save haven for whistleblowers is really something valuable, but it does not look like the current platforms are the hands of capable and responsible people. So something valuable is really getting lost here since any future attempt at a similar institution will have it that much harder to become credible. Lots of ego play at work here, which is very unfortunate. It seems like the greater goal has gotten out of sight.

great times!

The problem is that Samsung et. al are throwing inferior, more expensive knock-offs into the marketplace, hoping to capitalize on Apple's ground-breaking success. If Samsung didn't try to ape almost every detail of the iPad, then these suits wouldn't have happened.

To many people, if it looks like an iPad, it is one.

Think about it this way. What does a ThinkPad look like? Whether it was made by IBM or Lenovo, it has a distinct style (industrial design) that sets it apart from every other Wintel laptop out there. Same question for Samsung mobile devices? Today, they look near identical to Apple's stuff, which was original in concept and imlementation when released. Galaxies Tabs look like IPads. Most Android phones look like iPhones, instead of the Blackberry/Treo/Sidekicks that they looked like in development, prior to the iPhone.

It's small, need almost no cooling, uses little power just like any random Atom system, but support ECC memory, has a really nice case, ip kvm and full server support by HP and is cheap! I would really miss this system.
