It doesn't mean we go the Windows route: 'Oh, you want to "uninstall IE"? Well, we'll let you turn it off --- IF you INSIST, but we'll keep a bunch of IE crap around littering up the system.'
And gratuitously break shit because you've uninstalled IE, as proven in court.
Even Apple is not immune to this. Their very expensive disposable shit is not supported forever, and god forbid should an exploit be found then. What are Appletards supposed to do ? Simple, fork over more Franklin's for the new shiny cell phone and the cycle continues on and on.
Apple supported the iPhones with up to 4 years of patches. Is there any company with better track record? Oh, you want support forever? You should get a phone with an annual support contract then.
Because you never had to clean up after other people's shit? The larger the company, the larger the number of know-it-alls who think they know everything. These are the people who are the leading causes of a virus infection.
This has nothing to do with trust. This has everything to do with stopping stupid things from happening.
You are just one of those fucking assholes who like to shit all over people. If Theo was willing to give up the $2million DoD grant because he wanted to speak up about the Iraqi war, he sure as hell isn't going to be influenced by $50k.
If Theo is willing to give up the $2million DoD grant because he felt he should speak up against the Iraqi war, what makes you think a piddling $50k is going to affect Theo's code or design?

Might not be an important point, but CUPS existed for years before Apple bought it.
And then, it's all cleared up? Fun.
Do you even understand what open source is? Just means source is available. Nothing to do with whether you can pull fixes, etc.
And Google can force them because the manufacturers have signed an agreement with Google.

How can pre-Jelly Bean ~= 100 million devices?
This would mean post Jelly Bean ~= 1 billion devices?!?! Not possible.
You can continue using it, I believe.
I don't see any requests for money, so who is going to pay the hackers?
Individual customers certainly won't.
AM certainly wouldn't.
The hackers just want the site to shut down.
Umm, that charging but not actually removing it was already pretty well known previously I think.
I could have sworn I remember read about it previously.
So the employer should pay for the gas you use to drive to work, and the car you drive as well?
Why is it the employer's need to pay for this?
Apparently you are under the impression that sensitive baby is the only reason they can pull up in court. Try hostile work environment.
And the remove box is compromised, and the attacker rides on your -X back to your box. Wheee.
Please don't be a fucking idiot. Dr. Cohen - the man who coined the word "computer virus" did his research on VAX/VMS and UNIX servers.
Great. Another wrongful termination lawsuit.
If you are such a damned diva, I don't want you working for me.

Was free unfettered Internet use one of the benefits in your compensation package? If not, why do you think you should have the company pay for it?
I've been using Linux since 1995, and even I see this as a worthless suggestion. To start - there has been a number of 0 days against Linux

Assholes like you are what give ACs a bad name.

that is just stupid. why not just get a nexus or iPhone?
While that came to nothing in US, in EU, they do have versions with and without different things, such as IE.
OP is asking a very pointed question to which you have no answer, so you are avoiding the answer instead of owning up to it.
If you really don't understand OP's point, go read it again.
Please. APL or go home bitches!
