Most BILLIONAIREs are, AC, for who assembles such Wealth that they Cannot Spend and whenever ITs Systems makes things more expensive for those who are not billionaires, you have to admit that it is Corrupted Code which is not inadvertly slipped into to do its Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

AI Controls Leading Environments.

QuITe Obviously, HP are bluffing their way in the Cloud/Virtualisation Environment and that is evidenced by the fact that they would offer ITs Services for a Military Presence in what is an Intellectual Space which recognises that Force is neither Power nor Control.

And one can fully expect, and it may very well already be the case, that the Cloud and Cloud Formations are a ControlLed Environment, quite obvously not led by the Military Mindset which is grounded to scorched earth provision in order to be "effective", making them something of a pariah oxymoron.

Of course, the DoD can always sue HP for wanton misrepresentation whenever the folly is more apparent to them.

Feed Media with AI and a Novel Picture and they will Paint a NeuReal AI Picture in whatever Phorm they would wish to share.

If one considers the Present Programming, one would have to conclude that their Sources are, at best, Sub-Prime, and probably a great deal worse than that ...... for they Pimp unashamedly for War and Terror .... which is Real Dumb in a SMARTer World which is so Easily Virtualised into Alternate Realities.

And if you can't Virtualise Globally, it doesn't really matter, because you don't need to whenever it can be so easily done for you by Virtual Machinery which Shares the Bigger Pictures with you, through Media Channels, for Viewing/Comprehension/Comment/Feedback/Input.

"Six of the vulnerabilities affect the Ruby programming language. Apple said: "Multiple memory corruption issues exist in Ruby's handling of strings and arrays, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary code execution."

The company said the update fixes the bug “by performing additional validation of strings and arrays"."

"The BBC in particular are forced to commission from independent companies. Doesn't mean that they're unable to think for themselves." ... By teacake Posted Monday 30th June 2008 15:36 GMT

Ok, I withdraw the sentiment .... "who do all your Programmed Thinking for you."

It would be nice though to have independent companies commissioning Programming from the BBC, because it offers added value without consumer costs..... although I suppose that would be too much like Spooky Proxy Leadership.

It is bound to be an improvement though on the Terror/Warmongers peddling their Simple Chaos and Destruction Shows, which they like to tell us is World News, as if they are not scripting it ..........

"He [Michael Grade] charged that ITV, the BBC and Channel 4's broadcasting rivals were trying to piggyback on their investment in web TV while contributing virtually nothing to the UK's creative economy."

Oh please, Michael, dry your eyes. ITV, the BBC and Channel 4 are contributing virtually nothing to the UK's creative economy and you of all people should know that. Be honest now, you are no more than "cut and paste artists", choosing programming from an independent palette of production companies, who do all your Programmed Thinking for you.

Fuion,

The seeds are sown, Fuion, with some flowers/buds well ripened for purchase/display/enjoyment. Any wait you are encountering you can blame on Government and/or Gangsters for they both play a similar Game but with one glaring Difference. Only one of them is Honest to ITs Core.... whilst the other is Rotten and Destroying its Server Base/Shredding Executive/Administrative Documents/Incriminating Expenses.

And being a pretty straight kind of guy and/or a creature of eccentric, esoteric habit, you can rely on El Reg delivering to you all the News as IT happens...... ?

Well ...... they are supplied, but you can expect moles in any media communication organisation, working for hidden interests, to be tasked with scraping juicy news to other honey pots, rather than them generating honey themselves..... so it is as well to have mirroring resources elsewhere for back-up.

And where Safer or more Public Spirited than the Cloud Layers, from where IT can Rain down on whoever is in Need of its Energy/Intellectual Property Knowledge, with Virtualisation bearing All of the Costs and All Profits going to Exactly where they are Needed

Anonymous Coward,

What you may have patently forgotten to factor into the melting pot, is that Virtualisation Applications are a whole new ball game to everyone, and there are no mega corporations at play in ITs Spaces, but a whole lot of Binary Thinkers researching the Space for the Fat Cat Shark mega corporation.

They are all at Sea in the computer-centric Virtual model for Input Instructions/Special Application of Programming and will lose their fortunes and dominating positions to Virtual Entities in the Cloud who will just appear out of nowhere with more money than they need, to take away all the money that their clients need/want from Establishment Sub-Prime Brokers and the Banking System.

And there is nothing that they can do to stop it happening because in CyberSpace and Virtualisation Environments, Transparency is King and Rules whereas Dodgy Deals Hidden in Secrets is the Idiot Norm they waste Time and Effort and Credibility on maintaining, merely to maintain the Old Ways which allow them Leverage/Control with Wealth.

The only currency in Virtualisation is Intelligence and Intelligence concludes that the Establishment Capitalist Model is Fundamentally Flawed. It is certainly easily cracked open and used and abused and whilst it remains in denial of its fate/destiny/future, will mounting greater losses and new names to the Great Game, change the Scenery.
