Just based on the headline, I thought that somehow the whole country was being rated as only suitable for 18+. Sure, I could see parts of Brisbane getting this rating, but the whole country?

Exactly so. If I remember my economics properly...

• The average new small business closes shop in two years or less. Most of the rest close up within the first five years. Anything after that is likely to be a success.
• There are thousands of new products introduced every month in stores across America. Better than 80% of them are failures. Most of the rest might achieve niche success.

OMG! The free market is a casino!

No co-editing. Less space than Amazon EC2. Lame.

I think there is a key phrase here: "yet". It ain't any of those things... yet. But once they have the basic infrastructure working, they can add them.

No; they just didn't include it in iOS 4 or earlier versions.

However, they have included wireless updating in iOS 5. So once you upgrade to v5 via cabled connection, you'll be able to get future updates over the air.

"...the timezone database used in about every unix/linux platform in use on the planet..."

But, is it used in any unix/linux platforms not in use on the planet? What about off the planet?

Seems like a little bit of black tape ought to fix the camera, no?

And how long will it be before somebody hacks it to transmit pictures of hentai (NSFW) back to the Illinois traffic HQ?

Or, more likely: how long before somebody hacks it to pick up the camera feed from unauthorized recievers?

His next poster should be a quote from Ghandi: "It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence."

True, contact lists and autocomplete should eliminate this... in theory.

In practice, there are legitimate holes in the system. Maybe you fatfinger the address when sending from your smartphone, where you can't access your contact list. Or maybe a colleague or client mistypes the address in an e-mail to multiple people, and then you simply "reply all" not realizing that address was wrong -- which sends the mail to the wrong address, but also gets your e-mail software to assume that's a valid address to add to your contact list.

It also has nothing to do with Windows, unless Microsoft is more omnipowerful than I thought...

He'd have to search:

• Every computer currently in the house.
• Every computer that might have been in the house previously; e.g. old computers that were replaced in the meanwhile, as well as every computer of someone visiting the house (like a friend with a laptop).
• Every computer that might have connected to the network via WiFi if the wireless router was ever publicly open, compromised, or had its password shared.
• Every computer that might have been using the house's computers as proxies, whether by intent of the homeowners, unintentionally, as part of a botnet, or some other reason.
• ?

Man, that's a lot of computers to search.

Agreed. I always thought Marx knew that ideals would never come to fruition -- not even his ideals. Capitalism does not create greed; people do. Greed will exist wherever human nature exists.

"Honey, let's make beautiful music together... I'm tired of making it on my own!"

So how about we privatize it? One airline can advertise ease of us -- low security checkpoints, with lower prices! Another airline can advertise how safe they are -- tough security measures, with premium prices! The former would outsell the latter 100 to 1, I bet.

This would require some restructuring of the government-subsidized airports, to be sure.
