Dickie George says the way to fight the cyber cold war is by building security into technology, making it transparent to the end user
In contrast where the NSA has had the potential to hide backdoors (since Windows 95) and make everything so non-tranparent as they work on MS Windows security.
Since the work is undisclosed no one can confirm or deny these backdoors.
During Microsoft developer days back when they announced and demoed FastCGI (for example), that was the general response most of the guys had. Just my observation, no hard links to prove my evidence though.
How did this get onto the topic of Linux? We're talking about Open Source adoption by big-cheese corporates here.
Those two hold two, very strong, very opposing views on ownership of work (not to be confused with copyright!)
The one allows anyone to view, study and improve on a work, sometimes allowing derivatives to encourage and inspire more such works; The other demands strict control over who has access to the work.
It's a natural reaction to question someone's intentions when they suddenly adopt an ideology that they strongly apposed for a very long time. Why? Because it's natural to look out for your own interests and beliefs.
So I understand your reaction to mine very well, but let's not get shallow about it:-)
The summary makes us think that "Many of the organs taken were removed without any apparent forensic purpose in mind."; In fact, "The organs were examined at Sellafield as part of research into the health effects of work in the industry"
-> Geeks alienated by Plebs -> Geeks created intertubes -> Plebs try to use Geek intertube technology -> Plebs ignorance exploited and pulled into grand unified messaged scheme by Facebook -> Geeks create their own uber comms network while alienating the Plebs -> Profit!
... and they rave and tell everyone that it's the greatest thing how Microsoft has "innovated" and "implemented" this idea, meanwhile they are just underexposed under the cover of Microsoft's "secure and secluding" hand.
It happened when MS adopted JQuery, and FastCGI, and no doubt many projects yet to come.
I guess I should have. http://acid3.acidtests.org/ is a good measure of the various rendering implementations of browsers.
The problem: older sites are hacked together to accommodate bugs and workarounds in older browsers. Changing the source on-the-fly could potentially break these workarounds.
Some Web sites are designed for older browsers. You may experience compatibility issues on these sites until they are updated for Internet Explorer 8 or for Internet Explorer 9 Beta.
Today I used Google maps (instead of the official ones, with hopes no one would notice), to justify raiding neighboring land. If General finds out he's gonna be sooo pissed! FML.

With it's low operating requirements, Ubuntu runs well on my Netbook :-)
You can feel safer too, knowing its not as susceptible to the myriad of malware emails and sites out there.
The irony here is discouraging early geekdom on /. - Hell if I could have started sooner I would have!
We already know about the electronic std navigational radar dildo helmets... just by the by.

Makes you wonder what they're up to now.

At least this joke is still funny! Unlike the one where games are unoriginal remakes that hinge off "Next Generation Graphics"
This model does allow for 1000 times the BSOD dosage!
Hand gesture to "make me a sandwich". Wait iRobot says No? Okay, gesture "sudo make me a sandwich" :-)
Oh definitely, these acts certainly fall into the 'grave-robbing' category :-)

Interesting to hear this method is still used. Why the mod down?

we won't know until we observe it =)
Overpopulation! Are you one of them?
Your geeky anger is understood and justified in this context!
Touche!

Even Microsoft says so, in their not-so-many-words way:

At least as innovative as lasers lighting up the sky with shapes of mythical beings. But a flashy alarm clock? Slow news day...
... in browsers with an incomplete implementation of the rendering engine, of course. i.e. IE
It's helluva fun when you get the hang of it!

It's probably easier for more people of less intellect to get hold of a gun, than it is for them to use Firesheep effectively.
Using it for research and with consent is a rational choice. Not one thing that involves guns is rational.
