    But highly-modified versions of Linux runs on supercomputers! Ipso facto the Linux desktop is perfect!

  2. Re:Strang Timing on Linux Pioneer Munich Confirms Switch To Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    The best chance Linux has of taking of is when support for Windows 7 ends in 2020.

    But it won’t just like it didn't when XP support ended or when Vista bombed out. But, hey, this time it’s gotta work, right?

  3. The rules were never put in action. NN was never implemented except on paper, so all this time you've been without NN.

    If the rules were never put into action how can Ajit Pai then claim that NN was hurting network investment? Oh right, that’s because it was a lie.

  4. Re:That's the FCC's argument. (Verge is full of sh on Ajit Pai and the FCC Want It To Be Legal for Comcast To Block BitTorrent (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's what chairman Pai wrote, that the Comcast and torrents issue should have been addressed under anti-trust and consumer protection laws, rather than the failed way they tried to it, which the court threw out due to lack of legislative authority.

    Except the FTC would have limited powers of enforcement and would essentially be a paper tiger.

    His statement that what they did was a mistake is true almost by definition - the court threw it out.

    The courts threw out the previous version but upheld the current version.

    The FCC isn't Congress, they can't make laws.

    And yet Ajit Pai is making up his own rules all the time. But just like the lie of “judicial activism”, the right is always fine with something as long is it’s for things they like. It’s always “activism” whenever they disagree.

  5. You do realize there’s this thing called a “search engine“ where you could find out such facts before spouting bullshit right?

    A couple of sodas a day is moderation? lolwut? Just one 12 oz. Coca-Cola has over 40 g of sugar. Even only 2 cans a day is over 80 g of sugar and that’s not even remotely a “moderate amount.”

  19. Goal post shifting at its finest. Also, people find bugs in closed-source software all the time so your second claim is also patently false. You think Project Zero has source code to all the programs they find bugs in?

    No it doesn’t. The claim of the quotation is that people are constantly scruntinizing open source code but this is false. Heartbleed existed for years without being found.

  21. It’s also not that long ago that OpenSSL had that massive Heartbleed bug and that Debian was generating predictable random numbers in their OpenSSL version.

    The presence of Heartbleed being an excellent example that belies this claim.

    Open-source software is also more secure than closed-source software, by its very nature: the code is perpetually scrutinized by countless users across the planet, and any weaknesses are shared immediately.

    This is total bullshit. No one noticed, for example, the Debian OpenSSL vulnerability for nearly 2 years. There are also plenty of other examples that were around many times longer without being spotted despite all this claimed “perpetual scrutiny.”
