    No, your ISP only promised you *up to* that speed.

  2. Couldn't be bothered to read my entire sentence? Unless domain experts are constantly auditing he code it means very little that Joe Average can browse the code.

  3. That's great and all, but if one can't actually use it it's rather useless to try to impress us with theoretical capabilities that will take countless more decades to actually happen.

  4. It's decades further along than Hurd is.

  5. Ah, yes the old, tried and true "Fix it yourself, bum" response.

  6. Nah, even he's wiped his hands of it years ago. Hurd is just a one-man wankfest at this point.

    The fact that something *can* be audited is meaningless if no one actually *is* constantly auditing it.

    Whoa slow down bro! That's like a decade too advanced for Hurd.

    You already have one. It's called Minix 3. It can be used today and even has full sound support and USB support since many years ago. The Hurd is just a one-man wankfest at this point.

  10. Ok. So by which century will Hurd be usable enough that I can take advantage of the features? And don't say "now" because not having sound support or full workinf x86_64 support does not make a usable kernel.

    But the CEO making 100s of times more in salary and stock options is clearly well-deserved. *rolls eyes*

  12. Re:The whole Wikimedia Foundation needs to disband on Arnnon Geshuri, Newest Wikimedia Trustee, Forced To Resign · · Score: 4, Informative

    Geshuri did not create the no-hire policy that was agreed upon by Google, Apple and the other Silicon Valley companies. He was just an HR guy who followed his company's policies

    Which is no excuse for breaking the law. As an HR guy he should not have been following illegal policies.

    Or maybe the Slashdort web monkeys could get off their asses and just implement UTF-8 support? The standard is 24 years old by now. It's not like it's something new and unproven at this point.

    Your fear-mongering is several years of out date. Java applets have had multiple levels of click-to-play style protection for a long time. Malware authors are having much more success targeting things like Android users these days.

    Yeah and the click-to-play has been bypassed multiple times.

    Even with timely updates, the browser plugin was just a security hole whack-a-mole game. Only Flash Player managed to be a more bug-ridden piece of shit.

    The malware authors will surely love your organizationi for keeping the web plugin around for them to exploit. Now they won't even have to worry about security bugs being patched.

    Most vulnerabilities are found through binary analysis not reading the source code. And, yes, that is even true for open source software.
