It's in the interest of all its user-base to minimize the number of DNT browsers. Ads fund websites and targeted advertising brings in more revenue for the sites (i would think).
Choosing to ignore a standard is not what they should be doing either.
I or users still want access to these packages, I just don't want to have to track them with rolling releases or taking up space on my hypothetical SSD if I don't chose them.
I think that you're missing the point of the distro.
No they are not clear. Still can't tell if they newbie in the arch or linux sense. My initial understanding was that they wanted to help you skip the install, which is not fun without prior knowledge and the beginners instructions were a little out of date.
Installing user-space programs that most will never use does not fit the arch way. They appear to want to make Debian with an "arch core", which provides none of benefits of arch as the core arch utilities are only average.
The package list looks like he kept adding codec support and other stuff you may not need until he hit the arbitrary 700MB limit. I know there will be a few who use it but who wants wavpack in their default install. Everyone can download these later.
I guess there is not too many look like services that slow you down but unless he used crap compression the default install size is that of Ubuntu. Just give the user a desktop environment, a browser (to look up stuff on the wiki), the text installer for the config files and a basic init setup that gets key services.
Is anyone else using it? Apple are currently not getting along well with Amazon or Google and as far as I know have yet to officially acknowledge the existence of Linux. Saying the "Android kernel" is the best software for hosting their services is probably worse than using Azure.
Yes this is good idea for the general public but it is the worst way to do it. Modifying a user edited text-file silently before it gets used by the system is just crappy for everyone. The better solution would be to ignore the "bad" entries or make host file redirections an error and not follow them. This alerts the user that their computer may have been compromised and give them opportunity to turn it off though some difficult method.
They don't have the same ones. The alternatives focus on an old PDF standard, that is what almost all PDF documents are and don't include all the executable stuff. As far as i know the alternatives very rarely have issues, I can't remember ever seeing a security for evince.
For the control and motor and things like that, we don't have operating systems. They run in a lower level and are actually running C code, so we have engineers upstairs writing in the C programming language, building the control loops from scratch.
Linux is for running the UI. The article covers your concern quite well.
Calling Linux a desktop kernel does not contribute to credibility of your rant.
It's so far from ready, this is what its currently achieving. When you are remaking a compositor from the begging these are significant steps.
I have been waiting from this announcement from Ubuntu since they said they were trying to use it next release. It might be close to being ok for a 2d no accel window manager but trying to run unity was never happening in 6 months.
My understanding is just IE 10 users won't be able to DNT; as the browsers should make explicitly an opt in choice (ideally hidden somewhere). Now to opt into it they would have to change there user-agent or something else far harder than it should be.
If win8 adoption is slow then everything will be fine for everyone else.
Its not DRM. Yet. RH or at least their secure boot team does not want it talked about as DRM and then you can start to argue the DMCA applies. Currently it's officially just a feature for the users benefit.
Whats the percentage for speeding, especially in the non enforced zone (4 to 10 above the limit). The law is similar to the speeding law, the majority breaks it, but tolerate the law to keep the problem under control.
First no one expects massive fines for this that 15,000 max fine is for more than just torrenting for personal usage, it will be much closer to the 250 minimum. Again this is like speeding. The main threat is you get your internet/drivers license taken away.
Its the system the rights holders want but the numbers are an order of magnitude wrong. My understanding is this law is to be trade treaty compliant but useless.
Assuming for a second you are not trolling: They would both do the job but in no measurable way are debs better than rpms. No one is ever able to provide info on why debs are better than rpms as far as i tell what you want is the Debian repos which is good because of the effort that goes into them rather than the package format.
I would like it if it used what i currently has where the package management system is very similar to openSUSE's. Its yum not rpms that suck.
Everyone wants to work for Valve, they have no problems with talent and are snapping up well known devs.
If they were just going after programmers who know how to write software for desktop Linux that would be silly.
You sound like you mean application development. These are lead devs who have proven they have skills to make things happen in linux, some of which are unique skills that are not needed for dev work in mature environment.
I think you will find you don't employ an experienced dev just for his coding skills that often.
No it doesn't. He just wants to force your share everything if you want to sell something.
Applying this to movies they would have to let you access the full video used to construct the move and let you share that and the rest of the move to be able to sell it. To not hold this believe would be contradictory.
Stop conflating the current copyright laws with having copyright laws. It would be legitimate to believe and want in a democracy that all works released would be automatically licensed under GPL or the equivalent CC.
I believe you take things out of the context they are generally used and construct a straw man that will take paragraphs of effort to show you are wrong.
They are buying knowledge specifically experience not just skills. They are employing people who know far more about linux development than their current staff do.
Employing windows or whatever devs will delay them from having productive staff and will increase the chance they take the wrong approach to the problem. Only the genius windows devs will avoid thinking the windows way is the standard or best way to do something in linux.
They are still supporting it they just killed the dev team who were adding features that added a little bloat* but failed to increase market-share as TB is still not outlook.
What do you need in a mail client seriously? It has more features than pretty much everything else excluding the exchange stuff.
He has only got to get one though, then he does not care if he gets kicked out. They will give him a job for a stupidly high salary somewhere and then get someone else to get the next one though.
What are you on about? 1024 bit RSA is reasonable to crack in the next 10 years. This is RSA, its not as strong as AES for the same bit length. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_size#Asymmetric_algorithm_key_lengths According to Wikipedia approximation you need about 4 billion times the compute instances to calculate 2048 compared to 1024.

I know this is ancient and some of it has change but read this anyway:

They don't have the patents to release it in the US or most of the rest of the First World.
Companies with key patents to smart phones can't even avoid import bans and I would bet they infringe on a lot Nokia patents that they developed.
The N9 did not get into the US because MS did not want it beating their OS.

The still managed to kill mainstream support for it. So no one who's important is using it.
I guess the the stats show that is just most upgraded.

This thing has a Vista-rushed-to-market feel about it.
The thing about vista almost everyone who ended up with, spent money upgrading to 7 because it fixed everything.

Is this his last chance before elections?

I wonder how long it would take a modern cray or a cluster of 1,000 computers to crack a 2048 cert?
Throwing 1000 computer instances at the problem does not make the difference you think it does.
Sorry got my maths wrong its only about about 300 million times longer.
