There's an idea called "Turing completeness", which is used to indicate that a system has a particular degree of complexity. Any Turing-complete system is theoretically able to emulate any other. One way to show that a system is Turing complete is to make a "Turing machine" in it. (I'm grateful to Joe Fitzsimmons for the idea to approach the question this way.) This isn't the most common way of demonstrating Turing completeness, but it is one of the more understandable. In the discussion on this site I assemble a Universal Turing Machine from Magic: the Gathering cards. We always knew Magic: the Gathering was a complex game. But now it's proven: you could assemble a computer out of Magic cards.

Good for them. Taking credit for one's mistakes is the first step in learning from them.

Are we sure they were hacked?

But they did give their customers a credit for the outage!
1 month of service for each site.

Where did you hear that? I have about 100 domains with GoDaddy, a few of them being pointed to Azure, and a few are websites hosted with GoDaddy. GoDaddy hasn't sent me any emails about a 1-month credit.

check the email assigned to your account. I got mine this morning.

Still nothing for me. Maybe they are selectively offering this benefit?

Just a day ahead of iPhone 5 launch, Apple seems to be heading into legal trouble over the much-awaited device. Taiwanese electronic giant HTC aims to block iPhone 5's import in the US for patent violation. The Taiwanese manufacturer claims that Apple's new iPad and the upcoming iPhone 5 infringe upon two of its patents that ensure reliable data transfer in large volumes, according to a story in the Bloomberg Businessweek. The company has filed a case in the International Trade Commission in this matter.

That will be hilarious if they succeed. Iphone 5, now with 3G.
|
|
|
|
|
I think the better result is getting the iPhone 5 banned from sale in the U.S., then hearing the collective whining of the Apple fanboys.

|
|
I have to agree
|
|
|
|

I'm using the iPhone, but I would support a ban in the US - so all the supplies would go to Europe!

When will this f***ing patent madness end?

I want to know who started it. Have a feeling Apple did.

Let me answer this: When the parties file for bankruptcy and get closed!

Apple in turn is planning to sue Microsoft for infringing on one of their patents. Apparently GraphicsPath [^] can be used to create rounded rectangles, which as everyone knows, were invented by Apple.

Didn't Apple also invent the rectangle? Or was it Al Gore? No - he invented the information superhighway.

Master plan: Patent the icosahedron, then sue Wizards of the Coast and everyone else who uses the d20 system!

No! According to new findings in a soon to be published article, Al Gore created the Universe and got robbed of it from the Dark GWB!

Don't joke: rounded rectangles? That can't exist! Either they are rounded or rectangles!

"Rounded" is an attribute of a rectangle. Just as "squared" is an attribute of a circle.

According to wikipedia: In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is any quadrilateral with four right angles.
Sorry, but there is no room for rounded corners... . Splitting hairs is one of the favourite pass times for lawyers!
But now, I think that Samsung can sue Apple for using a 16:9 aspect ratio!
