    Someone tells them that in North American culture that extension carries a connotation they didn't realize.

    No, Mr. McManus completely invented a connotation that only complete idiots assume exists:

    It comes of[sic] misogynistic and unprofessional due to the world it lives in.

    VW does not write engine management code. They calibrate the maps. Bosch writes the code.

    You jest, but Windows is far and above king of backward compatibility as far as APIs are concerned.

    Right. Like the amazing job they did with winsock?

    Stop judging my bigotry. If I want a space where it is the only place I feel safe to be a bigot, I have the right to make such a space for myself and, of course, others!

    After all, bigotry is a natural product of xenophobia being strongly selected for in humans.

    /. has never been good about errors in their articles. Not sure what the editors do, but editing /. stories is definitely not their primary job.

    ... there will never be a production car with an open source ECU. Until then, lots of reverse engineering is in order.

    Around the time people stopped mooting a proposal and started mooting points.

    If you are using the Exchange Connector for gmail, your phone is already chowned. Why hasn't google suspended that component?

    We're on the same side here. I oppose all efforts of the government to deprive us our rights, including when that makes us serfs, who are beholden to their rent-seeking lords.

    Just like encryption restrictions, copyright law (and all statutorily enforced monopolies), and weapons prohibitions do, equally.

    Nope. The phrase predates the US justice system.

    Fran doesn't seem to understand that each side wants him/her to give up all his/her rights. Not just a few of them. All of them.

    Different front. You'd better be prepared for all fronts, not just a few.

    Every partisan politician doesn't want you to have or control or own any technology of any kind. Some are like Bush, who don't want you to have encryption. Others are like Bloomberg.

    Diane Feinstein wants you to have neither.

    There is more than one threat here.

    Might I remind you that arms are only one subset of technology that our lords and vassals don't want us to have?

    I take your completely off the mark response to mean you didn't bother reading that essay.

    In fact, I doubt you have the ability or attention span to finish the whole thing, given the quality of your comments thus far.

    No. That isn't what "well regulated" means.

    I'm not actually sure if anybody knows what "well regulated" means in this context.

    It is clear YOU don't know. The rest of us, well, we do know.

    It means "well armed, equipped, and trained".

    Considering the responses we're seeing from most people here ("omg well regulated"), discussing the nuances and legalities of US v Miller with them is like discussing quantum electrodynamics with somebody who has barely mastered arithmetic.
