  1. keep the command names the same but rewrite how they function? Nah makes too much fucking sense. I've had distros where my default route wasn't working and traceroute wasn't even installed by default. Talk about a shit show. What was the reason for replacing "route" anyhow? It's worked for decades and done one thing.

    Calm down man you get any more angry and that Fedora is going to fly off. Your argument died with Heartbleed. Open source that nobody looked at.

    Have you done an audit of the code yourself? Are you sure anyone else has? Would you know what to look for?

    Their list of fuck ups is pretty long. Waco, Ruby Ridge, 9/11, oh and the valentines day school shooter where people called the FBI and told them who was going to do it. All the tips apparently go into the trash. I'd clean house there if I were Trump.

    Agreed. I'd be much more impressed to see this running from an FPGA and interfacing with Massbus peripherals.

    Been there done that. Unless you buy one or two specific models be prepared to lose tons of throughput. I was getting 1/3 the speed compared to the stock firmware.

    You know the majority of that money will go towards slush funds and other private projects. Giving the government more money is like giving booze to an alcoholic.

    I'll switch to Linux as soon as SolidWorks and Altium release builds. At least AutoCAD has a version for OSX but they didn't do that until recently.

    If Linux had 90% of the desktop marketshare I guarantee you'd see these exact same exploits. Look how long Heartbleed was around before anyone noticed it.
