Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / Vista security
English term or phrase: cute
Worst of all, some new features added to Vista actually have proven detrimental to overall security. In January, hackers discovered that Vista’s speech recognition feature could be used to gain limited access to a remote system, including the ability to delete arbitrary files. Such annoyances sound almost cute — until they result in real data loss.

另一种理解
Explanation:
从整段文字看,这里的“annoyances ”好像是指 Vista 的那些带有安全漏洞的“new features ”。因此,这句似乎可以译为:“这些功能听上去相当诱人,不到它们真的引起数据丢失,人们就不知道它们有多么烦人。”

没看到全文,没有什么把握。仅供参考。

我的理解


Explanation:
这里的cute应该是说多事的/多此一举的,并不是真实的。
在真正造成数据损失之前,这些恼人的事情听起来总象是多事的。(即多此一举或鸡蛋里挑骨头)
