It isn't mentioned why this might be a good idea in the Slashdot blurb. It is so you don't run code that is potentially devestating to your machine. You know how you (should) check those MD5 checksums on all your Linux downloads, this is sort of like an automatic way to do that for people less inclined. And like I said before, it is an option. So why all the fuss? It shouldn't matter to many of you anyway, right? Linux doesn't do it.
i'm not so sure about your port idea. that is ridiculous! so now i as joe-user can start up any server, like a trojaned ftp or telnet or ssh, on those restricted ports and capture passwords and data as it flies by? that doesn't seem very prudent.
Best browser in the world or not, barely anyone would pay any money for it. That's just the way it is, when people get used to not paying for something, it rubs them the wrong way that they ever should have to. It sounds good: yah if only 100,000 people register at $10 each, we're millionaires. It doesn't work like that unfortunately, people are too used to getting it for free. I'm glad no one here is like that.......whoops:)
Perl 6 should enhance my coding abilities, I can't wait.

Just think of the internet as the ability to send electical/light bits really fast to remote locations on earth. How those bits are interpreted as information is where it becomes useful. So knowing we can represent most information using bits many bits, the internet allows us to send virtually all information almost anywhere, in lightning fast (close enough) time. Doesn't sound so bad when you look at it like that, does it?
Well it is the truth. The reply should be, now that the vulns are identified, steps should be taken to fix them, until there are no more. It is two different ways to approach the problem, and neither seem to be working.
I hope your not indirectly implying Linux's track record is any better? It is very difficult to make sure there are no holes, especially when you are one of the most targetet corps on the planet. You can take a million precautions, and when someone does one thing stupid, people cry "no security". The good thing is that they found out, think of all the better hacks that are never found out at all...then you should be scared.

See I saw this on ZdNet yesterday. I just knew I'd see it on Slashdot soon with more spin than a Tiger Woods approach shot.

Why don't you concentrate on gameplay instead of graphics?
What makes you think the entire Slashdot demographic uses open source software? I'm positive many of the readers don't.
If your trolling good one. If not, get a clue. Read Infinity and the Mind by Rucker and realize what you just said is TOTALLY FALSE.
I will eat my words if I'm wrong:
The Indremia system stands no chance.
Time will tell.

GG!
I'd like to see a survey on cyber sex. Just how many of those were REALLY women? This gives me some hope.
