YOU DON'T PUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF IN THE PLATFORM. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY.
Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first web browser. Mozilla Firefox will be that web browser. We can make it better than it was before. Better...stronger...faster.
I always thought that patches to the Linux kernel have to be signed-off and approved before they can be committed. And for the latest kernel that person is the benevolent dictator himself.
So how come this particular patch slipped by him? Why wasn't this caught before it even became an issue?
Do you have any insights on this? Thanks.
Seems to me that there may be some procedural issues (QA, etc.). If patches like this can make it into the main trunk.
(*) And by "us" I mean mainly people in the same timezone and hemisphere as I am. Because I'm too self-centered to care about anybody else.
But more importantly... I always thought that patches to the Linux kernel have to be signed-off and approved before they can be committed. And I always thought that for the latest kernel that person is... the benevolent dictator. Linus himself.

Excuse me - but you need to learn how to configure and setup your web browser.
I have set DuckDuckGo as my default search engine in Opera.
If you don't already have DDG (quite unlikely, but who knowsâ¦), it's even easier, actually: go to DuckDuckGo, right click on their search box (not the Opera search box, the DDG website search box) and click Create Search. Enter d for keyword (you can choose any, but that's the way DDG suggests, and that's how it is on my default Opera installation), and check use as default search engine.
Some ubuntu users feel that this amazon search functionality should be expanded to other applications as well. For example grep search results should include amazon search results.
At some other search engines (including us), you can also use an encrypted version (HTTPS), which as a byproduct doesn't usually send your search terms to sites. However, it is slower to connect to these versions and if you click on a site that also uses HTTPS then your search is sent. Nevertheless, the encrypted version does protect your search from being leaked onto the computers it travels on between you and us.
At DuckDuckGo, our encrypted version goes even further and automatically changes links from a number of major Web sites to point to the encrypted versions of those sites. It is modeled after (and uses code from) the HTTPS Everywhere FireFox add-on. These sites include Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon to name a few.
The moment I have to authenticate myself in order to use the Internet, beyond the ppp username/password in my DSL router, that'll be the moment I stop using the Internet.
What's wrong with these people that they have this insatiable urge that everything and everybody needs to be identified and authenticated.
I am so sick of that.
What a waste of time and resources. Why don't these "researchers" actually do something useful.

Where is the store that I can walk into with usd 10 and a usb stick and buy a movie, buy software?
It does not exist. That's what needs to be addressed, I believe.
What website? All I get is ... 1680x1050 black pixels.
And in the upper left corner it says something about "myspace counter" barely readable.
Interesting website ... yes.
Nope - me too.
But it looks like everybody else on /. has lost their sense of humor.

Why do I need to find a solution for something that already works today? That's just stupid and a waste of everybody's time.
Or use DuckDuckGo for your searches:

How come this post is at "score:1" and the original poster's post is modded "insightful".
It really should be the other way around.
Must be something wrong with the /. modding software.
