What do all of these have in common??? They're the most used in-roads to exploits on a system.
Unfortunately, while we have educated users and created worthy (and better) compiteroes to Internet Explorer, the same has not been done for Adobe's Flash/PDF, or Java.
Seriously, how many more exploits and system owning do we need to do before we can be free of Adobe's so called 'Portable Document', and its CPU hogging, desktop crashing, bug ridden, crackers best wet dream, craptastic software???
nothing good would come from Nokia and Microsoft teaming up.
When Nokia 'open-sourced' Symbian, they expected a large following of open-source developers to code their flagship mobile OS. It didn't happen; so now their running back behind closed doors like a whiny little kid taking back their toy.
Hint: Nokia, it takes more than saying your code is open-source, for people to want to actively code it. For starters, how about making it even a fraction as easy or possible to compile as some other OS kernel.
Mod up.
By openly breaching the ToS and sharing your password... you run the risk of losing said Facebook account. But hey, its for security so its all good.
I don't have a lot of spare free time to sit down and watch the videos. I would LOVE it if Khan Academy would release the lessons as understandable lecture/ audio podcasts as well. This way one could just listen to the material instead of needing the visual cues as well. I understand a lot of the subject matter can't be easily explained without visual cues, but right now if you where to just take the audio from the videos...you'd be lost as to what's going on. Podcasts please, not just a release of the youtube videos.
You cannot call yourself an 'advanced' user without knowing even the basic terminology associated with whatever operating system of choice you use. Don't know what a repo is (and no we're not talking about the guy coming to get your moms car back)? How about a filesystem, or hell, a config file?? No?
Hint: Does anyone besides your mom call on you for computer help? No? Well then...
One of the 'reasons' Ubuntu (or any Linux) distro won't become a major player in the consumer OS market, is because it is not SOLD in the consumer OS market.
Linux will become more of a mainstream desktop/laptop consumer choice (key word, choice) when you can drive down to the 'big box' store and buy a computer pre-loaded with Linux on it. Until then, the majority of people will use windows, not necessarily because it's easier, or better, but because that is what was SOLD to them.
For the casual user, Windows == my computer. Period.
I agree with this. All of the websites I've helped to design, have been made first and foremost standards compliant. If your browser can't render a properly designed page, then get a better browser. Don't force us to cater to your mishandling of markup.
Not only for the workplace anymore!
Now standard on all MS games.
If Microsoft seriously gets this 'patent' approved for the US gaming market.... how will it actually hold up against the constitution? If it's illegal to discriminate against people for the above reasons (sex, socioeconomic class, marital/relationship status, religious belief, political affiliation, etc) for things like a job, a loan, housing; then what makes it alright for MS to use those for 'shaping gaming experiences' ?
Finally?? I mean how long has ATI been open source, and we're just now getting support for the newer R600/R700 devices now??
I hope this kernel release also addresses the issue of the HD audio in the combined A/V R700 chips.
Slashdot Mirror
When I try and visit it (Linux x64, Chrome) I get Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.
... Slashdot book review; a book -not- published by Packt. Details at 11.

Enhanced for who??? CERTAINLY not the user.... Marketing ploys suck.
Thanks, to both of you! Added in a circle, as well.
Anyone have an invite they'd be willing to let me in with?? Click the link and then on email please! Thanks!
Officer - Listen here meow, we don't have time to be playing these games...

Another Packt 'review' .. seriously???
Call me when Slashdot posts a worthwhile review, that is is not paid for by Packt.

Seriously... has everything you'll need, including finical reports, transaction details and you know.. great rates on just about everything.
It's not Journalism unless someone (company/government entity) is paying you to write it. C'mon, catch-up to the post 2000 'news' scene.
This can only end well. I for one, can't WAIT to meet this new 'ambassador'.

You must be new here. No one actually ever HELPS when it comes to 'Ask Slashdot' (Good post though, informative)

Thanks for the link. This greasemonkey script greatly improved my youtube experience under Linux x64.
