I believe the summary to be incorrect since as the groups that launched the class actions lawsuit are in fact privacy groups they'll be receiving some fat pay checks.
Yes it is in order to meet their stupid release deadlines. As an example copying CDs to a file was broken in the default install of Lucid. Not sure if it's been fixed yet for maverick or even lucid, haven't had time to check.
You're a troll, people have been saying this since the first Ubuntu started. It's an old and boring complaint. No one cares about what colour you think the bike shed should be.
Instead of agreeing with me, coming to the conclusion that ISPs should simply stop using the 'unlimited' slogan you go on a long winded rant about how I should stop being so rational and accept the fact that ISPs should be able to lie as much as they want in their marketing campaigns.
If ISPs are tired of users using their bandwidth then simply restrict it and offer different pricing schemes.
and if this continues they will institute caps on everyone and people won't be free to use a lot of bandwidth now
Good that's exactly what needs to happen because right now people aren't getting what they pay for. A lot less in fact.
Since you're not going to RTFA or even the summary i'll repost it here..
includes patches for 14 total security vulnerabilities, including six high-priority flaws, and the company paid out a total of $4,337 in bug bounties to researchers who reported the vulnerabilities. A number of the flaws that didn't qualify for bug bounties were discovered by members of Google's internal security team.
The new release of Chrome also fixes an older bug, a Windows kernel flaw, that Google had thought it fixed in a previous version.The highest bug bounty, $1337, was paid for an integer error in WebSockets found by Keith Campbell. A second high-priority flaw, a sandbox parameter deserialization error, was discovered by two members of Adobe's Reader Sandbox Team.
You claim here that you can run homebrew, even though you go on to state there is no graphics access which makes your whole statement pointless with regards to games.
I'm looking forward to an actual thriving homebrew scene for the PS3, with lots of indie developers making the games for PS3..*snip*... and didn't have the access they needed to develop their envisioned games.
and here you say it prevents them from running homebrew. You can't even agree with yourself which is pretty funny.
Sounds rather threatening. Open your platform to homebrew, without restriction, or else we'll open it for you - and make it stupid-simple for this* to happen as a(n un)fortunate 'side-effect'.
What's threatening about pointing out that if Sony had not simply disabled certain features these hacks never would have been made.
Pirates aren't an issue here at all which you seem to think is so important. I'm in asia and can simply walk into the shopping mall and come out with a modded PS3. People here have two consoles if they want to play online. One chipped and one non-chipped for the games they really care about.
Homebrew wouldn't have any effect on how things run and very few people have a legit console here.
Classic fallacy. Just because it's easy to steal doesn't mean authors would not make money. If you're the kind of person that tends to steal things rather then buy them you're in most cases not ever going to be their customer anyway. It's not worth ruining the experience of your actual customers that want to buy and easily consume your product in formats that are readable on their computer, ebook and phone.
Actually all Sony really has to do is give people a way to run home brew on their own systems without letting pirates in and none of this would have ever happened.
Since they screwed that up now the cats out the bag. People aren't going to stop hacking it until they can run their homebrew and linux again.
The blog you posted about how much flash sucks has numerous comments saying it doesn't.
This is typical tribalism from the apple crowd, just wake up dude and realise it's just a fucking phone. There is no need to constantly reassure everyone that the iPhone is superior to everything else in every slashdot story about android or an android device.
So you're poo pooing the whole product based on a news website's spelling mistake. Seriously dude, just come out and say "I'm an apple fan and think this thing sucks". You would at least make more sense then all the nonsense you posted.
Slashdot Mirror
You seem to have misunderstood what social networking means and the point behind portals such as facebook and buzz.

I was going with the presumption that his time was worthless since he's on Slashdot and commenting.

You seem to misunderstand what I mean by colour of the bikeshed. You're talking about trivial crap that everyone has a different opinion on.
You're a troll, people have been saying this since the first Ubuntu started. It's an old and boring complaint. No one cares about what colour you think the bike shed should be.
They're still providing backports of security fixes for hardy because I have it installed on a server myself.
The codes aren't suppose to classify slashdot users..
If kids spent all day reading books instead of playing games would they get equal blame? In both cases a kid is just sitting there doing nothing.
Looks fine in Chrome on OSX to me. Animates and everything.
So let me get this right...

On ubuntu at least this should be in seahorse or something. Not in an unencrypted sqlite db. Very poor.

Well it's a free application so why don't you just check it out instead of posting here waiting for a reply.
It's really simple what I mean. Stop typing and RTFA.
Yeah, you'll see I didn't put "100% or nothing" or even make a point in that direction.
Why do you people always have to invent strawmen?
You seem to be confused with yourself..

Don't be a moron. In the years the PS3 has been out it's only after they disabled other os that people started hacking the console.

Still wouldn't get rid of the need for oil. What do you think that keyboard you type on is made of?

Seems that in this instance the Canadian system is flawed.

Yes, yes it does.
