Was this an old feature, or a relatively now one. If so how did it make it into distros without being extremely vetted. Given that openSSL is one of the core parts of security?
Asa an avid bicycle I don't understand how people can rent those things. You have to adjust those things each time you get a new one or risk serious physical damage. I never see people riding them either.
Actually the best example is the kryptonite lock program. When they discovered the flaw they replaced all locks, with the ball mechanism. Even those that went back more then ten years.
i remember when XP was released and WGA ( or it's predecessor ) was new and people were worried that MS would shutdown their servers and make it impossible to reinstall in some cases.
MS promised that they would release a key or some sort of patch that would allow you to install without the server.
When it comes down to it though. Other companies do support software for a long long time. When I worked at Lucent they had the software for every switch they or AT&T ever sold. The had each version and each revision. OS/2 is still being sold and supported, and it is at least ten years older then XP.
And the point of intellectual property is to grant exclusivity in exchange for making the object public. If MS is not going to publicly support XP, then they should open source it.
As for those who say that people should buy everything new every five years. That ain't the way it works. If something is 20 years old and still works people keep using it.Get over it.
Yeah there is. If MS ever made the source code to XP public, tons of guys would look at it and laugh. So they have a trade secret how badly they write code.
F# is an implementation of the OCaml programming language developed to work with.Net. Other then.Net F# has no relation to C#.
OCaml is a variant of the ML programming language, one of the core core functional programming languages.Functional languages are languages that have no mutable state. However they do have work arounds. The idea is that many of the bugs that happen in many program come from interactions with the state. So eliminate the state and you eliminate the bugs. The problem is though, that the things you want want programs to do ( such as placing orders, making reservations, etc ) involve state. So what you've done in the end is, built up a lot of machinery to handle the simlest part of the problem.
look at the actual votes on policy defunding research? Republicans
I had several friends who worked at Argonne National Labs when Clinton was elected. They would talk about the interesting research being done into ways to design safer nuclear reactors. Things like liquid moderators, so that if there were a melt down the moderator would go with the fuel. That's the one that I remember most from decades ago, but there were many more.
What was one of the first things that Clinton cut? The funding into research on making nuclear power safer. It seems that for Democrats some funding is more equal than others.
And when your arguments wind down to a superposition of two logical fallacies. (argumentum ab auctoritate, Argumentum ad populum) it is perhaps time to take a course in Logic 101.
Should the software used for Obamacare be open source. I don't just mean the website, but also things like the software controlling pharmaceuticals, X-raya, MRI, maintaining health records etc. ?
Eaves dropping on these systems would be great. You could set your system up so it could tell you whether to change your pace to catch a green and not hit red, or to catch a red and get your wind.
The answer is simple -- dashboard cams one front facing one rear. Cut the video of any egregious driver and send it to the cops. These guys get enough tickets they will stop. Or be forced to stop by the state.
Yep. We've had this for a while here in the US. The problem is that it only works with one direction of traffic. What I like that the UK has that we do not are roundabouts. In the Chicago area one that we have is nicknamed "suicide circle". Despite that it is one of the most safest intersections around. Shame we don't have more, but most drivers hate them I guess.

There is nothing in the CMBR that determines where the center of the universe is.
No complicated explanations are needed. Just blow up a balloon.
But how do you define the center of the solar system or of the galaxy?
in the Laimtre universe, the earth is as much the center of the unierse as any other point is.
And here is one of the reponses to that monitoring .
You can't master a game, you get pissed.
Big surprise!

Think again.

I thinka KDE variant would be better for someone used to Windows. Though you may have to add on a graphics card depending on how old the machine is.
Can anyone say Stingray, just to name one model.
Actually, consumer protection laws would say different. After all these are not upgrades we are talking about. These are repairs to existing defects.

Don't you know. It's the democratic way. Can't have those peons adding to the carbon footprint. Of course we nobility are exempted.

We already have those kinds of convoys, as anyone crossing at unlighted intersections can tell you.
