I've had my first gen macbook pro's battery replaced twice. Once right before applecare ran out, and once about 4-5 months afterwards. No hassle at all to get it replaced, free both times. Not sure why anyone's bitching. It's not like Apple's replacement battery price is way out of line compared to others, and on top of that, they do the work for you, so, errr, where's the problem...?
you appear to be missing the point. I was talking about OP's mention of intercepting VNC traffic. If you don't have VNC running, obviously it isn't a problem. *sigh*
The bugs, I wasn't aware of (I haven't used KDE for a long time, but I still like it on linux). But there were definitely clear information provided that KDE 4 was not for normal users. It was even on slashdot, for gods sakes.
Because the KDE 4.0 transition was marked as "FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY". It was clearly marked as not for normal/daily use. They had to have a 4.0 framework in place so that new development can be targeted against it.
So why wouldn't they be snarky at someone who cannot read?
The other two comments give you a good reason, but the biggest reason is this: *why not* ?
if you are building something, why artificially limit yourself, especially since in cases like this, you might not want them to go back and "upgrade" it later...
I do not authenticate to any services on anything I don't control.
If you do, more power to you, but the same malware that can keylog your session can also insert itself into your data stream, whether there's SSL or not. So I don't understand what are the advantages of logging in on any computer you do not control.
I'm referring to your previous comment that 2 factor authentication only needs to be set up once. If that's the case, it is *NOT* 2 factor authentication.
Someone stealing my laptop won't get my info because I have full disk encryption, so unless they can break my password...
You are a fucking idiot. Your "men in hacker culture" is a farce. The first programmer is a woman. The first high level programming language is written by a woman.
Truth and politeness are orthogonal to each other, and only an idiot thinks having one means you cannot have the other.
What they are asking for is not special treatment, just for you not to be a fucking asshole, which I see is damned near impossible.
Here's a free hint: If you respond to someone wearing a hot outfit, and they said no, then get the fuck away. Touching them or saying "hey baby wanna fuck" is the wrong thing to do in almost any social context.
And if you feel that asking a woman for a coffee is the right thing to do in any context, why don't you go ask Marissa Mayer for coffee. Fucking idiot.
What in the world are you talking about? I understand the individual words, but there appears not to be any sense to the way you're putting them together.

you haven't looked at the logs and seen people knocking on vnc ports have you?
you're avoiding the issue. No other such cases have shut down embassies before.
Do try to keep up with the discussion.
yes. you obviously have not worked with end users. most people don't give a shit about how things work, as long as it works.
this is a far better article. In it, the author talks about how the case is being handled.

Have you read this? Karl Rove is personally advising the Swedish govt on how to expedite him.

bullshit. They clearly said use 3.x, we will continue to maintain it.
The bugs, I wasn't aware of (I haven't used KDE for a long time, but I still like it on linux). But there were definitely clear information provided that KDE 4 was not for normal users. It was even on slashdot, for gods sakes.
I remember the huge blowup when KDE 4 was first released. I also remember the "this is released for development use only".
You may not recall perhaps because you didn't pay attention and you were using distributions that prepackaged KDE for you.
Because the KDE 4.0 transition was marked as "FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY". It was clearly marked as not for normal/daily use. They had to have a 4.0 framework in place so that new development can be targeted against it.

What?!?! You mean just because she didn't do what you wanted doesn't make her biased against you?! NO WAY!!!!
but yeah - that's how a lot of people think. Remember that idiotic movement to impeach or remove her when she let the trial continue/whatever?
my point was that aftershocks are still earthquakes, and if you look the link provided, one of them started at 1922 and ended at 1934.
12 years of earthquakes. whether you call them aftershocks or whatnots, it's still multiple earthshaking events.
Also, the 7.0 vs 9.0 is simply a "very big" versus a "ginormously big" earthquake. Both will kill.
So, once a 9.0 happens, a 7.0 is not counted any more? Or a 5.0?
Do you even know how earthquakes work? Look up "aftershock".

I want the eyes that Judge Dredd got when his eyes got damaged.
Ability to see from deep in the microwave to high UV.
Micro and telescopic lens function
Access to information (like Google's glasses)
And I think targeting interface to his Law Giver if I'm not mistaken.
You haven't taken the ESP class yet?
"Your patch is lame and I will never commit it" is necessary.
"You are an idiot" is also necessary sometimes.
"You can't patch worth dickens because you are a girl" is stupid.
If you can see the difference and understand why the last one should not be used, then this message is not directed towards you.
You've moved from asking the woman to get you coffee to asking whether they want a cup of coffee.

#1 - not willing to give out my phone number to google.
#2 - if you only set it up once, that may not be the 2 factor you think you have...
And how does 2 factor protect you from any of the scenarios you mentioned?
You do realize anyone with the power to reset your password/unlock your account, has that power whether you have 2 factor or not?
