Who cares? It is "natural" for hungry predator to eat a human and yet we don't allow that. Those kids are going to live in society and they have to live by society standards, no matter how "unnatural" those standards are for them. They can either break and conform or spend their lives in place where they cannot be danger to others - prison.

uuuhaa! Talking about extreme! You do realize there is a learning process, kids don't turn into adults in one day? You cannot just dump social ethics and standards into them and expect them to learn! You do know that the human learning process is based on trial-error, right?
Also, what would you do if someone told you when you were a kid that you cannot play GTA / Left 4 death anymore because it is too violent? Would you just STFU and obey? It is because of this restriction / impose the rules nonsense mentality that you and a lot others have that we are getting the internet filtered.
You seem to completely fail to understand how the mind of kinds work at that age. I'm no expert at psychology but this is plain obvious. Most of them are still in the process of developing their adulthood and when every adult around them seems to disagree with their thoughts, it is plain natural the kids start absorbing the thoughts from somewhere else which they identify with. In the streets, that person would probably be some group leader. Having that, then it is just hormones and the willing to impress others that makes them behave badly - because unfortunately, failing to respect others and destroying stuff is the easiest way to show that "you have the balls". THIS IS WHERE SOCIETY FAILS COMPLETELY.
At this age, kids actually need some good leadership. Sport teams actually provide that up to some point, with an adult coach giving good directions to kids while agreeing and motivating them during the games. Hackerspaces are a good place to motivate and giving them good directions too. But we need way more than that. Schools need extra-curricular practical activities.... So this is were I disagree with you. We don't need to call the police when they behave badly, we don't need to marginalize them! We do need to impress them and grab their attention and only them, we can teach them a valuable lesson.
No, they're the same kind of rebel teenagers that used to do vandalism and tagging and in general rage against the machine when I grew up. They got no plan, no agenda except to strike out randomly and cause mayhem, with gang leaders shouting "let's flip that car" but little more than that, a mindless beast with zero attention span. Script kiddies and their wannabe groupies that would like to be script kiddies are exactly the same in online form, and I don't mind the police giving them a good slap and telling them to grow up. Go back to what you wrote, when did you last see very powerful clowns? Even when they do cause mayhem, they're still just clowns.
Uuuuuhhuuu! There is a lot of hanger going on here. Relax, they are just kids and the act of randomly vandalizing is just part of the learning process - sure there are limits. If you didn't stay at home playing with dolls, maybe you had learned it too! Since you did not, you are just afraid of those kids and raising hell for what they are doing instead of actually putting yourself in their position. IF SOCIETY actually didn't marginalize them and provided the means for them to mentally and physically evolve, certainly they wouldn't be at the streets burning hormones by breaking stuff. We need more hackerspaces, we need more youth associations. WE DONT NEED MORE RESTRICTIONS AND REASONS TO MARGINALIZE THEM!
It is exactly for people like you that these kids are doing what they are doing. Seems like you actually prefer to call the police and totally avoid them instead of actually going there, talking to them and actually understand WHY they are doing what they are doing!
What about starting to properly support XRandR and stop the TwinView crap? What about continuing giving minimal support to old GPUs? My parent's computer has a GeForce FX Go 5300 which has currently no official driver that supports the latest Xorg. Unfortunately nouveau is not working very well with this graphic card either, being the 2D support buggy. What about supporting KMS in their drivers?
Not going to happen, that's why my next computers will have Intel GPUs.
Are you nuts? How is this just pictures? Are you telling me the children being exploited in those pictures are actually fake? Are they computer generated imaging? - OF COURSE NOT! They are very real and some of them are actually kidnapped and abused. Even those children that are actually paid to do that on their will, should be prevented from doing that because they are (probably) not mature enough to make those decisions on their own. Repeat after me: ALL UNDERAGE CHILDREN SHOULD BE PROTECTED
Microsoft already seems to be doing some kind of damage control because I cannot share this link on facebook. Facebook tells me I'm trying to share a blocked link...
By the way, this might not be the year of Linux on the desktop after all since we will see a mass slowdown on kernel.org development cause everybody will be playing HL2 EP3 on Linux:P/joking
You damn right about that. There were only a very few games (curiously Valve produced) that after all these years actually made me install Windows to play them. If more games start showing up in my Linux boxen at a distance of a few clicks and dollars, I might very well just drop my time from random opensource projects and game on a little.
Not only that but if you think on it, Valve can actually create a dedicated gaming platform using Linux (with dedicated hardware or not). Steam on Linux might just be the entry point for it.
What can possibly go wrong? I hang my balls everyday in front of a CRT monitor connected to a megavolt power supply, in fact its a pretty good contraceptive:P
The Darwin approach doesn't work well for these things
It does work, it just takes time. : )
By the way, the sound mess you just referred to is starting to get fixed since most of the software already supports pulse-audio including proprietary. I agree it is taking a long time but...
It would probably also help if you could get Linux users to stop fighting amongst themselves over every little goddamn thing.
As I see it, this is just the Darwin's approach on software development: 1) Programmers fight between them on different ideas 2) Some actually fork() the project to implement new ideas 3) Several projects are now competing, if one of them doesn't have enough support for a while it ends up dying. 4 ) Repeat from 1)
I know this is not the most efficient way of development but at least the fragmentation allows new ideas (the pleases most programmers) to come up. Unfortunately this doesn't fully take in account the ideas of users because (non programming) users cannot directly contribute, they end up being at mercy of other programmers. This might explain the fact the Linux is a bit difficult for new users.
Who was the microsoft shill that modded me down? there are a lot of virus written for the x86 ABI of Windows and a lot of them are in the wild, there is nothing false about this statement. HomeOS would clearly benefit from a different ABI to avoid being in the same target as millions of other desktops.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem "An ecosystem is a biological system consisting of all the living organisms or biotic components in a particular area and the nonliving or abiotic component with which the organisms interact, such as air, mineral soil, water and sunlight."
Even if windmills are not living beings, they interact with wind that in turn interacts with living beings and other abiotic components. I'm no biologist but I think this is quite obvious.

No problem whatsoever on my Gentoo server, with a 3.3.1 hardened (Linux) kernel.

Those "kids" from TFA are 18 and 19, they are adults in eyes of law and at this point they should be able to take responsibility for their actions
Ooops! Sorry I thought we were talking about a younger age, I misread TFA. At 18 it is indeed expected they have enough maturity already.

I searched "best web browser" on Google and the second result was mozilla.org
Wait there are other browsers?
Gringotts is a secure notes manager for Linux and other UNIX-like systems. I've been using it to store passwords for more than three years.
What can possibly go wrong? I hang my balls everyday in front of a CRT monitor connected to a megavolt power supply, in fact its a pretty good contraceptive :P
They have a good enough track record in the security area to be trusted blindly by the population.
That is funny
LOL

I know nothing about homeOS but I damn hope the ABI is different from Windows. Last thing we want is the home's central computer running a antivirus!
