Seriously, that is the major reason many who could contribute don't. Oh, and of course there is also GPL3 versus BSD, object oriented versus procedural, point and click versus command line, and another myriad of thousands of omnipotent issues that most be decided before one should even consider contributing to open source.
Do you not get that the vast majority of people don't want to volunteer their time and effort only to be belittled and berated by the "Coding Gods"? Hell, even this debate over "systemd" has a lot of us wondering if you all have any respect for each other.
Look, we all know we all are vulnerable. Naming helps people determine how much armor we need to deploy. Vulnerabilities that aim to fuck us up the ass need especially thick armor.
Maybe this is a good thing? Even though I thoroughly enjoy participating in a widely connected world, I do question the wisdom of making being connected a requirement for survival.
...in his ear. He said a problem was detected on my Window's computer. Being every box in my house is running one Linux distro or another I had a problem picking myself up off the floor. Just think of how many people would fall for these scams if everyone really had Window's on some device in their house.
Humans have been manipulating the evolution of other lifeforms for hundreds of thousands of years or more already. Perhaps mostly inadvertantly, but our effect is nonetheless there. The trick here would be ensure that only the furriest seals benefit from this technology.
The more you specialise, the less you are understood. It is not without reason nature is biased against species who can only survive in specific environments.
I know people that relocated to Florida that still have 612 area codes on the cell phones and the only problems they run into are old farts who think they're not "local" because they have a non-local area code.
Area code is one of the very few ways people not wanting to talk to people they don't know have of screening their calls. It is ridiculous that you need a white list just to answer the phone anymore. Caller ID really needs to be fixed, and I'd support regulation requiring jail time for anyone spoofing it.
...you might as well spy on everybody. Seriously, who ever thought there were rules to warfare? Spying is warfare by the way. You either win, or you lose. There is no inbetween.
The rest of the world seems to have become so risk adverse and cost focused that it is very doubtful any significant space exploration will be forthcomming in the near future. Perhaps what little communal pride is left in China will help spur exploration for explorations sake, and not just the pursuit of profit?
Protestors should be able to protest up and until the interfere with my right to live my life. Non-lethal weapons would go a long way in keeping them out of my yard.
Again, I hold Kent State up as an example where non-lethal force would have benefited the protestors. Once dead, their said of the story can't be heard.
Non-lethal weapons would allow protestors to protest without getting killed. It is fair easier for a live person to argue their case in court than a corpse. The important thing here is to take away the governments ability to kill.
Only investment in African infrastructure will stem infections coming from there. Saved lives are the only payoff though, so doubtful the 1% will be willing to go for that.
Until a proper stun setting is found, it must at least be given up to law enforcement to for researching non-lethal means of control. Even the recent events in Ferguson demonstrate the desperate need here. And perhaps, when lethal weapons are done away with those who don't belong in law enforcement will leave?
...until connectivity is designated infrastructure citizens in that nation will be subjected to being nothing but profit creators for the powers that be. That is why I cheer for every business that requires internet connectivity to survive. One day access to the internet will be considered as necessary as access to roads, and it is only then that US citizens will have free access to the web.
Disagree. I just think that anyone who depends on something as esotoric as the law to keep others safe should be held responsible for all others who are damaged by their ignorance.
Most of the world knows that security is fleeting, and those that deepend on the law to preserve obscurity is the fleetingness of all. Do they not even consider that citizens of nations that don't give a shit about legal protections are the very people their customers need to be protected against? These companies should be paying rewards to anyone who can defeat their protections, not punishing them.

What convinces you that Chrome is spyware?
Google.
The "Coding Gods" will be quick to punish you is you share your strange thoughts.

...certainly their chips will also have some real world uses as well? It's not like Google spy hardware has much of a future after all.
So like the difference between a Kia and a Lamborghini then? Both perform the same basic functions, one just has more bells and whistles.
Okay, so please enlighten those of us who don't understand the difference on how these RC "toys" are not drones?
