Let's say that, like most everyone else in the world, they already know how to break firefox and internet explorer, etc. They don't want to spy on your net, they want to steal your files.

The Govt in question is obviously the US Govt. They want to know how to break Chrome, and every other net-facing app, so that they can hack your computer and spy on you, whoever you might be. Did you know, the CIA does do espionage?

maybe Govt is envious because Google is already more powerful and capable and certainly better liked than it!

VUPEN cracks Chrome for the Government!!!!! On Windoze, even! I would have thought if they really had a US govt / CIA / military / espionage customer, said customer would NOT want them to reveal ANYTHING about the exploit to Google nor the

I don't believe this crappy little security firm has more resources than Google, even in the Security Research Dept. They can go find it themselves and fix it. Anyway, it's probably mostly a windows bug. If you line the right bytes up to

"VUPEN provides vulnerability research and intelligence for defensive and offensive security." so, they are I presume happy to help the US CIA/MIL fvck people over (who most likely don't deserve it).

hm I was wrong, they seem to be talking about when you're making a call. Seems to be a disclaimer in case of health problems more than a clear warning of health risks.

lol man, I like. 1 suggestion, do the 'geekification' in JavaScript so they don't have to wait for your server. Or else, add some more options such as Klingon translation, Pig Latin, etc to make the server-side app more worthwhile.

The ball bounces infinitely many times, in a finite period of time, and then stops! :) You can model this completely, i.e. describe height as a function of time. You can know exactly where the ball is at any particular time, and it follo
