I run seamonkey so hopefully the Firefox team won't break the base code so badly that Seamonkey can't be built.
But since they're trying to actively kill the plugin development community, it's possible there just won't be much to install in Seamonkey.
We need to keep track of who is in charge at Firefox so we can make sure they never get our business again, no matter what project they migrate to like locusts when FF is dead.
Group policies requires domain membership, doesn't it? That means being connected to a Windows Domain Server and running the 'pro' version of the OS. Which are both substantial and unnecessary expenses for a lightweight notebook for school pupils.
The point was to compete with Chromebook in the education sector by selling a light notebook PC with restricted ability to install junk like games not approved by the school administration.
The point is to keep it an education tool and not an entertainment device.
I kind of think it would be a purification process. The kind of Red Hat people who would fit in at Oracle are the ones in charge now. Everybody beneath them would do fine at one of the forks.
Larry would like systemd. Does he have Lennart Poettering's phone number?
You could get Solaris almost for free. Especially if not for commercial use. However, a C compiler to actually do much at all with Solaris was quite expensive.
You could use GCC, but if you're going to do that, why not just use Linux?
The future of IoT is the NAT servers (or equivalent replacement) with aggressive filtering that will be installed at every access point that IoT devices connect to the internet through. The security will NOT be maintained at the endpoints much longer. Local device of security is the responsibility of the end user, anywhere the user determines that it matter . Smart lightbulbs will have very little autonomy unless somebody explicitly punches through the security layer. Without augmented security added, cheapo IoT stuff will soon be dumb landlocked junk.
iOS is a richer niche of users (as we are constantly reminded) for criminals and tla agents to tap into. Obviously iOS exploits are more valuable and will be exploited at a higher level & to a higher degree than exploits for the gear the proles use.
When an AC from Apple's marketing department who sits poised on his seat refreshing Slashdot and then STRIKES GOLD with a First Post of propaganda, it's bound to be controversial.
It will leak into the First world. The Galaxy J3 is a popular phone at WalMart and similar markets in the US. It was targeted to be a second world smartphone.
People who are serious about security would NEVER buy a propritary device that is single-sourced from a company that is VERY aggressive about remaining the single source, and also very closed source themselves. The 'secure enclave' scheme is 100% pure 'security through obscurity'.
That emporer isn't wearing a single fucking item of clothing. Fuck Apple.
If Oracle buys RedHat so it can die, can we make sure to securely rope systemd to the body before it's sunk in the bay? Also the body of that festering millineal who champions it, of course. And Gnome3 wants to ride along.
The source code is nice if you have the whole toolchain up and running to build from it. But they disyribute a Windows and MacOS binary installer, and a whole bunch of linux binary installers for a lot of different linux variants. VirtualBox is something a lot of people 'just use' to run virtual OS instances, particularly to run binaries on those OSes that they probably don't have on the systems hosting the VMs.
Sad to say, because at root everything is supposed to start out as source code, but sometimes it's binaries all the way down.
Has there been any word about VirtualBox? That is pretty much the only former-Sun softwarevI use on a regular basis. Since the Oracle purchase of Sun I have wondered why Oracle was keeping it alive.

Trivia: which president created the EPA, and which party was he from? Hint: his last name ends in 'ixon'.
Thomas Dixon? He was an author, not a president.

Symantec is a 'security giant' because they make an antivirus product that runs in userspace on Windoze clients.
I remember Symantec C++, back when they were a tech company.
He can affird to do all that, plebe.

"Good enough" is what people who don't have enough money to be reckless with it purchase.
In a dystopia we can dream of, nobody dares use an Apple product out in public because the anarchists then shoot them.
I heard somewhere the old one lost a race recently. Is that true?

The GP A.C. probably has an Apple gadget and wouldn't understand.
Go hang out at the 9600 website. You can come back when you've memorized the resistor color code.

Was there a divorce and wedding I missed hearing about? Reggie changed his name to Michael?

Nice play, AC shill. Ask for a raise.

Do it, Larry!

You mean, they pay the Open Group to use the trademark? I have purchased a few of their license plates myself, so I guess I have a "real" UNIX, too.
Nothing that special, but Apple likes stuff like that.

I looked on the VirtualBox website and it says that it's licensed under GPL v.2. Still, the source does need to be secured.

Can the codebase be recovered? There's a lot of it.
