Last time they did something this stupid, it was forcing spatial Nautilus on everyone (yes, you could change the behaviour but it was buried in gnomeconf, and when I tried, it screwed up the shared KDE settings on Fedora). I quit using Gnome at that point. Now it's gotten to the point where I actually like it and use it, and they decide to fuck it up again.
VI vs Emacs is an old and silly argument. This guy loses major points for essentially claiming that the only one true editor for "veteran UNIX admins" is VI.
Until he has to worry about newspaper columnists being outsourced offshore, It's very easy for him to talk about "global trade and travel" and "tribalism."
You need to be able to publish your stuff in academia as fast as possible, once you have good results. Waiting for the patent filing process (just the filing) can delay it badly. If you have first to invent, you can do your invention, then publish while you are doing the patent filing.
This will cripple innovation in America's Universities as researchers are forced to choose between publishing and patenting.
This article is incredibly short on details and clarity. The systems 'compromised' appear to have still been running.NET, but the heading seems to just want to throw Linux and Risk into the same sentence. The complete lack of facts makes this seem like FUD.
Plus, a train requires relatively flat terrain. This requires some significant terrain altering (embankment, tunneling, buildup, etc) around some places.
No, you do not understand how polarization works. People use polarized sunglasses to reduce the glare reflected off of the ground and water. That is predominantly horizontally polarized, so sunglasses that pass vertical polarization will reduce that glare. You cannot control the polarization angle of a laser pointer aimed at a cockpit (or even if it is a polarized laser).
I stopped buying their stuff after the rootkit thing. By buying their stuff, people are only supporting the abuse that Sony seems to feel entitled to heap on its loyal customers.
The article just says he was a recent college graduate from Stanford. That doesn't mean a bachelors degree. He might have had a graduate degree (masters or phd).
What the video says is that the ARM chip is more powerful than the old x86 chips that OLPC used. Considering it's a SOC, and much newer technology (the original processor was 130 nm node, and the Armada is 65 nm node) it really should be.
After all, Pitchford's negligence has caused me "hypertension," "depression" and "living in fear of being stricken by another heart attack and/or stroke" as a result of living "in fear of being exposed to extreme stupidity."
Yes. WinMTR does seem to contain mtr sources, or at least older mtr sources from before mtr supported IPV6. You can get the sources for WinMTR from http://winmtr.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/winmtr/.
example code omitted
Definitely looks like there is verbatim copying. If they clear out the CVS, I will mirror the code on my blog
I really find these OMG we have to get away from COBOL articles sort of silly. While I agree that doing new development in COBOL probably does not make a whole lot of sense most of the time using the existing code base is not a problem.
See... the problem here is you are trying to apply normal logic. Look at this from a PHB persepective.
It's OLD. Old is BAD.
New is GOOD. Replacing old with new is something that we can spend money on and the PHBs can put on their bragsheets to get promotions.

I do not know why this was modded as troll. The simple fact is that the US Government is in massive debt and cannot afford something like this.
Windows users are the same kind of people that cling to imperial measurement instead of the metric system.
If Sugar is bad for you, then howcome it's food?
Wasn't there a motorcycle rider who left his helmet cam on when he got pulled over, and they charged him for felony wiretap and it didn't stick?

(This time with Hand gestures and really loud) Do YOOOOOO SPEEEAAAAAAAKKKKK Englissshhhh?
Seriously, how this comment got modded insightful is beyond me.
Naval artillery and missiles can shoot over the horizon. Lasers have to be in line of sight.

No we are nitpicking about how they screw their customers.
We're complaining about their choice of screws now?

The CEO of a computer security company parrots "security through obscurity." Well guess I won't trust any Trend Micro products.
Your coders will start to get repetitive stress injuries.

Everything can be used for "Piracy"....
Its easier if we just add "Everything" to the list of Piracy and let it be done.
That's EXACTLY what the copyright cartels are trying to do.
You don't need a "laser" for this. A spotlight will do the same thing, be easier to maintain, and probably cost less.
