Well, only Russian words from well known vocabulary may describe this situation. Thanks God, we in Europe do not have to obey stupid American patent law and practice! Pestets!
Yeah, Windows is most secure and reliable environment for viruses, bots, worms and other malware. Windows is the best platform for botnets and the excellent tool for DDoS-ers. Zillions of cracked commercial software allows quick, secure and reliable distribution of trojans. No other platform on the market can't do it better.
What broser could be secure on Windows? Almost any brouser is OK on Linux but no one on Windows. Vulnerability of OS and availability ob billions viruses, troyans makes useless any broser and whole computer on Windows.
Redmine is just great PM. We at Chernigiv State technological University use it for wide rande of task starting from NOC site to student team work tracking.
That's because of "great" F9 release with too many "innovations" like KDE 4.0... But they now recovering from that disease and trying to focus more on regular users and quality. At least F11 was impressive and I hope F12 is. Hell, Ubuntu 9.10 is near F9 by quality. They managed to break intel graphics support right after release! That's terrible.
I honestly hope that guys involved in distro development will not race for "features", they will race on quality instead.
Yes, nothing more, just pure dirty PR. Firefox is gaining success and quickly "eats" IE customers. So this news is just dirty PR response and standard FUD by MS paid company. If you check that "vulnerabilities" of Firefox, most alredy patched. If you check vulnerabilities of IE, they still "work".
So, Lenart says that Ubuntu guys are so stupid that can not get PA right in 3 consequential releases. Who's smart to get it right? I spent a week trying get it right on Ubuntu 8.04, then on Fedora 10 and found only one solution. Get rig of PA and be happy.
I use recoding tools, MIDI tools and other music soft and PA drives me just crazy because it can not allow normal work of jackd.
So if Ubuntu guys are stupid, Fedora guys are stupid, and I am stupid, the only smart guy is Lennart. Let's make him a President of USA!
The same situation with me. But I solved it easily. I removed PulseAudio, cleaned things out and Ubuntu studio rocks! Do "aptitude purge pulseaudio" and you'll be on pure ALSA with all your Ubuntu fun up and running.
Piracy is total commercial bullshit if you think a little bit. In Net era business must propose new selling models that will give reasonable profit while keeping software free to use and to share.
Well, imagine following situation. I have legal licensed copy of some Windows. Then I install it in virtual machine and run 2 instances, one for private tasks, one for care-less Internet surfing. I am pirat. Period. If I give you my copy of disk image just to save hours of software installation, you are pirat, even if you have your own legal Windows CD.
The main reason of software piracy is stupid licensing and silly business models from 19th century.
It is obvious. Free software can not be pirated. It is free for all. Just download and use. Proprietary software is easy to crack and pirate. May be it's time to think not of "box" selling business models and DRM, but of some new business model of Net age?
Monsters like Microsoft are happy with piracy because it is a good promotion technology, BTW.
I do not accept such position, sorry. Modern Russia may appear different because they become just a bit smarter. But they did not changed for even a bit. Kreml guys taught to speak to West in Jesuit language and you guys buying it. Here they use the same old soviet language without any fears and hesitations. They just too weak to start new real war, that's all what stopping them. But informational and economical war is here in full range. Kremlins are eager to restore Empire and there is no Empire without Ukraine and Georgia. May be west do not feel it, but Russia is the same. Nothing changed. Putin's TV propaganda in spirit of Dr. Hebels made 50% of Russian people hate Ukrainians and count them enemies. Only 5% of Ukrainian people count Russia a danger. Is it comparable? BTW, enemy #1 is Georgia, #2 - USA, #3 - Ukraine according to sociological research in Russia.
Well, I do not wonder if Russia still have all soviet secret war stuff ready. At least they have propaganda in the same full war condition.
How many percent of western people reads or speaks Russian or Ukrainian? So I think I see what is going on quite better and have right to say it openly.
USSR collapsed and now it is Russia with the same coco-roaches in head of it's leaders. Mr. Putin is KGB officer that hunted German dissidents. Do you really believe he changed his mind? Mr. Medvedev is just a doll in hands of Putins' gang. They say in modern school books that Stalin was a hero and effective manager. Do you know that? President Obama is very wrong believing that relations with Russia can be "reloaded".
Russia fights hard to deny Ukraine's and Georgia's right to became a part of NATO. They are still the same Russians, even if you can be so silly to trust "new" Russian politics. Americans now afraid of Usama and Iran, fighting with ghosts and forgetting that Russia is still the same.

Well, may be gamers must expose also sexual orientation, religion, size of penis, and other important for computer game information.

Is it first time?
Yeah, that's all I said. There's no smoke without a fire.
They may say it is "unintentional", but many holes stays for years in WinXX unpatched.
Don't even hope! Multi-touch is not supported by windows yet. But there is a chance all 3 mice will work in F12 :)

Guys! This "news" are evein on popular Ukrainian TV "1+1". http://tsn.ua/nauka_it/eksperti-nazvali-firefox-naibilsh-vrazlivim-brauzerom.html
That means only one thing. Dirty world-wide PR.

May be enough revolutions? I'm glad that this release is quite evolutionary and madness started by Fedora 9 is calming down.
He says many things and he is just very polite guy. I am not so I dare to say that PA is total pain in the a**.
PulseAudio was never tested by people who can hear?
No, PulseAudio was never tested by people who has head.
It worked well with usual kernels for years before PA come into each distro.
So, Lenart says that Ubuntu guys are so stupid that can not get PA right in 3 consequential releases. Who's smart to get it right? I spent a week trying get it right on Ubuntu 8.04, then on Fedora 10 and found only one solution. Get rig of PA and be happy.

So if Ubuntu guys are stupid, Fedora guys are stupid, and I am stupid, the only smart guy is Lennart. Let's make him a President of USA!
PA is so buggy itself and with Ubuntu installation, that it can not easily step back and allow Jackd work properly. The only solution is to remove PA.
The same situation with me. But I solved it easily. I removed PulseAudio, cleaned things out and Ubuntu studio rocks! Do "aptitude purge pulseaudio" and you'll be on pure ALSA with all your Ubuntu fun up and running.
I have problems with PA, and I am an expert in Linux sound. I solve problems with PA removing the beast as soon as I discover it. No smiles.
Properly implemented idea is jackd. Pulse is bad idea and bad implementation. All professional sound tools use jackd, no on wants pulse.
Seems that /. slowly becomes one of that paid Windows fans site.
Obviously it is not.
