Never thought I would see myself doing this, but I agree with the AC above me. (Gods,that makes me feel dirty).
When I go over 10 instances (in any combination of windows +/- tabs), I begin to see issues with response times. And that is in Firefox AND IE, on, sar, three different machines with three different operating systems.
I agree, if one is discussing Industrial Capitalism. In merchant capitalism, though one does still technically own "the means of production", it is that means that is the crucial difference.
As an example, Mr. X sees an opportunity to increase both his firewood and meat supply for the upcoming cold season. He owns the means of production (an axe), but not necessarily the prodution itself. He cuts down some trees with his means, and then trades some of the "production" (logs) for materials (meat). This is merchant capitalism.
In Industrial capitalism, Mr. X would lend you his axe, you would cut down the trees, and, in return, you would get y% of the resulting logs. In this instance, Mr. X owns the means of production (axe); yet to make the "sale", he leverages your labor for a greater return on his axe investment.
It's a subtle distinction, but important to the overall discussion of why privateering can be called capitalism... just maybe not in a form most are used to seeing.
This privateering is a prime example of Merchant capitalism. Only, in this case, it is a ship and its cargo being exchanged for money, rather than, say, a barrel of corn. Since there is no bartering involved in the exhange, this makes it a capitalism.
Now, on the other hand, what most people think of today as capitalism, is actually industrial capitalism, which is the exchange of services for currency, which is then exchanged for goods.
Err... my post was in response to the post above mine, specifically:
"A lesser term should be given to using OSX on non-Apple hardware".
And, in TFA, it wasn't a Mac Mini, it was a MacBook. But hey, keep trying on that whole comment-flame-sarcastic insult thing, and you'll get it one of these days!
Nope. Telling the police that you are in my home because the door was open will not cause them to say "Oh, okay then." Instead, they will continue to say "Get on the ground with your hands behind your back."
There is no implied permission to enter private property, only explicit. At worst, it is trespassing. At best, breaking and entering, followed by 5-7 years in a federal prison.
Since, despite the popular belief, the idea of a grey/black/white hacker being distinct solely because of intent is, at best, a falsity, the idea that one could release something with the potential of being as destructive as TFS claims is a no-brainer.
The answer is no. Under no circumstances should the package be released.
Because, to release the code is no different than than saying "I only illegally accessed your systems, Mr. FBI, to show you how it could be done. I am honest little boy/girl".
Aside from the latest, greatest, shiniest geek toy... this thing isn't even in a beta state, yet somehow it is going to reshape the industry? I think not.
Come out of the basement, folks... the sun here in a real world only hurts for a moment or two.
Pet peeve here. The company's name is "Apple" in the vernacular, not apPle.
I understand that your mis-typing of the company's name is perhaps some attempt at slighting them, and thus demostrating your higher moral position. However, your misspelling is both juvenile, and gives me a headache.
Occam's Razor clearly states that these extremely arcane attack vectors are being discovered and made public by security "professionals" do their level best to ensure their current employment and relativity.
The real security professionals are entirely too busy doing everyone else's job to be worried about ridiculously arcane attack vectors.

Your statement is heretical here.
You will be re-educated.

Agreed.
The easiest, and most effective, way to avoid issues with malware/spyware/etc is to not be an idiot.
Code is code... regardless of the platform it was developed on/for... code still runs if written correctly.

Debian, Ubuntu... same difference anyway :)
obligatory, I use Ubuntu daily, and our shop is Debian...
I wish I had mod points to mod you up. Thank you for putting things in perspective.

Actually, I think it does.

Negative. Unless I specifically give permission then you still cannot enter. What is so effing hard about that concept for people to grasp?

Honestly?

So, in short, stop. Thanks.
Only if instead of Cillian Murphy, we can put the transport on auto-pilot, and fill it politicians.

Unless that was what he was hoping for all along, then, probably not hoping the LHC destroys the planet.

There's an app for that!
