Why are so many hinting that Ubuntu is to blame? This has nothing to do with the underlying OS. This has to do with a vulnerability in third party software.
Well, firstly, just because code is open source does not mean you can not make a profit off it - but I can see how it would be difficult.
I guess a point to consider is, if VP8 is so good, then why isn't it already stifling the competition? Open sourcing it isn't going to produce a magical monopoly - which you seem to suggest. The fact is, there are already equally good and debatably better codecs out there - that are proprietary. Point still stands IMO.
For me personally, I've been a bit disappointed with 4th edition because they're trying so hard to make all characters 'equal'. I don't care what you say, Gandalf will always pwn Aragon - he's the freaking white wizard for blinky's sake! Let him be!
But for the generalisation, what you say is true. The more I delve into operating systems the less I like any of the current ones out there - Linux included.
Having said all that, when I need to protect highly sensitive information or critical systems then I won't be using Windows. Not because it is specifically 'teh 5U>0|2Z' but because I don't have the fine grained control I need.
What?? this is a load of bollocks! I demand that all those who modded this guy interesting stand up and be shamed.
Why on earth is a guy who decides to mod his Nexus One (which he is free to do btw) suddenly become an example of why the phone is not built for the user market but is really just a tinkerers phone??

SJVN? I must say that most of what he writes is utter tripe.
Your sig betrays you.
Heh, that made me laugh. So true.

Honestly, did you even read TFS? This attack has nothing to do with Ubuntu's security, its all about an XSS attack with some TinyURL in the mix.

I loved warcraft 1 & 2 dearly as well. I must say though - DotA is heaps of fun and makes for a great LAN game.
What are your reasons for not playing 4th ed.?

Getting people to use it is beside the point. The point is that the market is most definitely not stifled by open source software.
Yeah, I just saw that too. Thats pretty cool!
My world has fallen to pieces!
Exactly, meaning you just created your own codec that is just as good as the open source one.
It doesn't take long for that to change. Additionally, the extra clout Google has with Youtube, Chrome and Android can help accelerate its adoption.
This is a moot argument, compounded by the fact that because the codec is open source it can be studied, improved and even forked.
I think it was the 404th time actually.
Hmmm, it stripped out some of my 1337 speak. 'teh suxorz' is what I was going for.

LWATCDR works for the CIA! Get 'im boys!!!

Despite not being in consumers hands yet, the Microsoft Courier looks really cool. That takes a lot for me to say that.
Despite how cynical you think his view is, it is remarkably accurate.
This is the most obvious way to break in. 99% of passwords will be broken with a nice big password list.
Yeah, Steve Ballmer modded you down. Apparently he thinks his company invented it first.
Yeah, I've done just that. Comment still stands, IMO.
You're welcome to think otherwise. But after having used both extensively, I really don't agree.
Unfortunately encryption doesn't even prevent that anymore.
