That's not really true. Prior to buying Sun, Oracle probably didn't give two shits about MySQL.
Well, they bought InnoDB well before Sun, so that's not entirely true.

These aren't short prison terms by UK standards. It's uncommon to get sentenced to more than two years for computer crime. Ryan Cleary, who got the longest sentence, apparently ran a large botnet for hire, when he wasn't doing it for the lulz. Bot herders tend to get treated relatively severely (rightly so IMHO).
There should be an authority that can prevent Slashdot from being trolled by a summary that seems to have no basis in the original story. We could call this hypothetical super-being an editor.
It's been in Firefox for ages though.
...and you get to be trained in Photoshop too.
Remember IE 6 was lean mean and standards compliant compared to the god awefull netscape 10 years ago too.
That's IE 6 great claim to fame. Compared to the bloated corpse of Netscape 4, it looked quite good.
Dear FreeTards,
You missed the 'greater of' part. That will be $50 000 you owe us.

Actually measuring them accurately is a challenge, although no one in the physics community really expects the answer to be "they fall up" at this point. It would be a huge upset if they did.
There's a (possibly apocryphal) story about a physics professor. Whenever he dropped his chalk, writing equations on the board, he would look upwards. When one of the students finally asked him why he did this, he replied, "If one day it fell upwards, I wouldn't want to miss it."
i had to name mine Lamar, just wouldn't be right otherwise

There already is one. It's called EDS.
Was, you mean. It's part of HP now. I don't know what IBM wants to be, but it's sure as hell ain't HP.
Yes, the whole 'if we ignore the law, it will go away thing' was a bit stupid. The ICO may have more important things to deal with than every mop-and-pop website that uses cookies not complying on day 1. However, the UK is not Europe and just because the UK regulator isn't particularly keen on enforcement, it doesn't mean that it won't be enforced it other countries. And if you are Google, you have competitors queuing up to make complaints.
Can someone please explain to me why this can't be used for instantaneous communication purposes?
QE is rather like being married. You know that whatever you decide, your partner will want to do the opposite. However, no actual communication is involved.

Of course lets not forget the dark side of big data, the NSA and FBI can use the vast volume of data they collect to create statistical profiles of the average American. Any American outside the average is obviously going to be a target for additional investigation.
The Serious Fraud Office are themselves Autonomy customers, so at the moment they are scratching their heads wondering whether they can conduct the investigation ithout a conflct of interest.
4 and a half, if you count the beta of Chrome, which I personally wouldn't consider a fair comparison. But if you're being sloppy about timings, you can be about other things. Hell, does Chome even have per-tab private browsing now, let alone in 2008?
WHERE CAN THE MATTER BE Oh, dear, where can the matter be When it's converted to energy? There is a slight loss of parity. Johnny's so long at the fair.
