Do the know how to program in VB?

Don't suggest that all vendors install DRM on their software...

It's fine enough to roll your own if it's your own website and you're decent at security... but if you're contracting someone out you need to think "what if I need to contract someone ELSE out at some point" or "what if I piss him off".

Always plan for contingencies if it's a big contingency.

Is this honestly surprising? This was known but ignored for like a decade now. Remember Google Chrome's original ToS claiming ownership of anything you do using the Google Chrome browser? That was late in this whole debacle... not even early. People just didn't care. Now they do. Poor them?

So... if Apple has a list of publicly known security flaws that can own the machine and they wait 'til they get 1/4 gigabyte patches to bother fixing them... and they don't get infected with a virus... how is it anything BUT lack of interest and obscurity that saved them? You're forgetting that most virus attacks are for Botnets and Spam Email where the goal is to reach tens-to-hundreds of thousands of machines before it's profitable. Spearphishing just isn't popular.

"Safari Charlie" Miller is not credible?

What's step 3???

The same as I am now -- because the Canadian ISPs wouldn't pass that increase in infrastructure to the consumers.

Unless they typo either by case or too late in the password... didn't realize it... and the typo is considered your real password... and the time after they try to login they wonder why Amazon isn't letting them in.

But yeah they could have easily *told* us upon login "change your password now as we've switched to a new encryption method".

FDA?

Soooo then when you unallocate memory you n-times random overwrite it.

Welcome to what PC gamers have been saying for a longggg time. And guess what? The legit consumers are the ones who will get screwed.

Of course they'll be sued for antitrust violations when Opera and Mozilla releases much less buggy solutions.

Autolook does not a good control scheme make.

Sure it might be a fun way to play... but the game partially plays for you.

That's like saying the Xbox is more accurate than PC because the game has autoaim... only just autoaiming the camera, not the weapon itself.

I think the key is not how fast of a typist a programmer is... more that they know their way around a keyboard... because if they don't, they probably weren't programming for long.
