Actually banks have to keep your money safe to keep your business so they are the ones that implement the best (imho) workable authentication. All banks these days have....
Either way i'd still like to see an end to the "If someone breaks into your house you must delete all of this stuff within 24hrs" levels of BS we see in EULAs.
Have you told that to your local representative, assuming that you live in a representative democracy?
By all means, offer them constructive criticism. But don't attack them. "Bloody mess"? If someone called the Linux kernel a bloody mess on LKML do you think that his criticism would be heard?
I would be willing to guess that within the next few years, the often maligned End User License Agreement ('EULA') may fall into the realm of being regulated as further 'consumer protection.
It won't because it was never meant to be 'consumer protection' and that is quite a perversion of the EULA's real purpose: 'corporate protection'.
No, actually, Windows users don't complain. That is one of the reasons that companies love to serve them crap. It's us picky Linux users who are the pains in their ass wanting quality code.
I don't believe running Fedora is trying to be "bleeding edge" even if that is the rep's image.
Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software. (emphasis mine)
I had to move my daily driver to Kubuntu from Fedora because every week Fedora is 500 MB of updates to download and things break weekly. The non-critical machines are still Fedora, though, as I love the distro.
That's when you take your money and buy elsewhere (and optionally, write to both companies and let them know whey you choose their/competitors product). Interestingly, lately that means that I've been buying ATI video.
Crap like this is what will drive companies _away_ from open source. Look at all the flak that Sun gets regarding it's handling of Open Office. Or countless other examples. The community should be grateful that these companies support FOSS at all, instead, it looks like any company that comes to the FOSS table will be eaten when it doesn't do this right, or doesn't do things 'in the spirit' or takes their time with something.
Pretty bad drawing. You could probably do a better job if you were a good artist, without any kind of optical device. Galileo gets the credit because his drawings actually looked good.

Of course no. Hotmail run Apache on Linux :)
In that case, take to the arms!

And then require you to use IE. Blah.
Google "firefox eula ubuntu" and you will find the answers. In fact, you might find a link to /.!

Exactly. When you write something from scratch, there is no need to _replace_ the text of a text file.
I don't know about Intel, but I am certain that such practices occur. Lexmark *cough*

That's not what they want. Code quality is not the goal: money is.

Humans are also 97% genetically indistiguishable from bananas. Do they taste the same?
Only the neck ligaments. The rest tastes like pork.
Correct. We, however, do define you by your /. posts, as that is the only way we know you.
AC judged me by a single /. post. Not that I care for him to know me.
You'd need source code, not just some help document that got moved over.

Not that I were affected personally, but how much will people pay to be allowed to up/down/evengrade from their just purchased Vista to Seven?
Precisely that is the reason that this is an important issue.
It almost sounds like he does know, just expects better.
We should all expect better. I'm actually glad that he makes a stick when things don't Just Work.
It must be that time of the month for intel....

Yeah, and a human is 97% genetically indistinguishable from a pig.
Well, that explains the taste.
Apparently you are doubly an idiot. One for thinking that screen means Win7 is Vista 2.0 and two for thinking that makes you "mean" and not a moron.
No, other things make me mean. My slashdot posts do not define me.

That looks like Galileo drew the first goatse.
You're an idiot.
No, I'm a jerk. Get it right. Idiots are stupid, I am simply mean.
