The security model should be, quite simply: the program has a manifest that declares what permissions it needs with a fine granularity.
That's brilliant! It's like it would let you trace syscalls.
And yes, developers should use this mode.. and they would, because it is actually useful instead of just being a pain.
Developers seem to want to use it. Everyone I've talked to who knows about it is interested and claims that they'll consider using it in the future. This is so true that they've been saying it for several years.
I dont tailgate anymore, because extra lead time = more energy regenerated while breaking.
Um, no. You're bleeding of the exact same amount of kinetic energy either way. Where you do save is that you're not running your engine at full speed until the last possible moment. Instead, it can drop down to idle as you let friction gradually slow you while you close the distance. Now, whether the savings in idle-vs.-driving is better than the amount you lose by transferring your kinetic energy into heat via friction instead of electricity via the braking generators is beyond me.
There is little if anything that a firewall can do that an operating system can't.
Ahh, but here's the deal: I can tell my firewall that "incoming port 25 connections are only allowed to such-and-such machine". After that, no matter how badly a random host on the LAN gets compromised, it can't become a zombie spam relay. Default-allow firewalls are mostly useless. Default-deny, though, makes for a nice protection layer.
Maybe I'm wrong in doing this, but at least it makes the whole subject a little more intuitive for me.
You're wrong in doing that, but you're also wrong in assuming that it can be made intuitive. It just isn't, in much the same way that if you think quantum mechanics is intuitive, you probably don't understand it. Nothing personal; this stuff really is that complex.
I know you must be trolling, since configuring IPv6 is mostly identical to setting up IPv4. Type an address, a prefix length, and a gateway and go. What's so tricky about that?
OF COURSE no Compact Disc Digital Audio disks have DRM. There are a few non-audio discs that contain some audio information that may be so infected, but it's impossible for a CDDA disc to be ruined that way.
Well, the idea behind insurance is to spread risk over a large pool so when you need to pay out you have the cash; that's why gruop policies are generally cheaper than individuals.
Umm, actually, group insurance is typically more expensive for most people. For example, if you have 9 people that would pay $100 a month in an individual plan, and 1 person that would pay $1,100 a month, and the averaged premium becomes $200 per month, then 9/10 of the people are paying higher premiums. The savings are from the facts that the main reason you'd have group coverage is that your employer offers it and is picking up part of the premium, and that should you develop a catastrophic condition, your personal rates would not go up proportionally (although your coworkers may hate you).
If you are unhealthy, likely to have health problems, or likely to incur expensive conditions (such as pregnancy), then your premiums may be lower than they would be otherwise. If you are young and healthy, then your premiums are likely to be higher than in an individual plan, at least until your company chips in.
5,343 built-in functions, assuming all the standard modules are installed. By comparison Python has 71. In other words, you have to keep track of about 75 times the number of name collisions when dealing with PHP versus Python.
This could be almost instantly fixed if they'd add namespaces to PHP, but that keeps getting shot down.
Posting the crack online is about civil disobedience against the completely unfair DMCA.
No, it's not in 99.9% of the cases. It's about getting in on the fun of watching the class bully getting his butt handed to him while spins around crying for everyone to quit being mean.
Revenge doesn't make you a better person, but sometimes it sure is fun to watch.
Sebastien Pouliot suggested we call it "Moonlight" (anagram on Mono).
Just Some Guy suggests that you call it Zunebrown, conveying both the F/OSS community's likely acceptance of the project, and the likeliness of Microsoft to let it to go without litigation if more than 3 people come to depend on it.
Them: "Do you understand that you paid for limited ownership, and that you consented to the limits stated and known to you at the time of sale?"
Me: "Sure! Just show me that signed contract where I agreed that the DVD I just bought is different from the cordless drill and flashlight I bought at the same time, and that I can take those two pieces of my property apart but not your DVD. As soon as you can cough it up, I'll consider your point."
The organization isn't, but it's employees sure the hell are. Given that they do almost nothing with their money except collect more money, there's a huge financial incentive for them to keep going.
Which one is it? I know what Apple is (a corporation after profit, just like Microsoft ), so I pretty much know who's telling the truth in this case.
One corporation designed to turn a profit for its employees and investors is saying nasty things about another corporation designed to turn a profit for its employees and investors. Feeling the need to choose, you decide against the one that still has shreds of credibility? If you still believe that Greenpeace is out to save the world and not make money for its directors and the people who advertise through it, then I have a bridge to sell you.
4. Really limited games (no legacy library to pull from)
Are you talking about PSP from 2 years ago? There are quite a few high quality games for the PSP (8.5+ score on gamespot.com/psp). My favorites: Daxter, Burnout Revenge, Metal Gear Acid I and II. I can also argue that DS games are graphics-limited (yes I know, gameplay is more important)
No, I think he meant the incredibly limited selection. Even if no DS games were ever released, you'd still have the thousands of GBA games that work perfectly on it.
This is an urban legend propagated by conservative propaganda sites.
WTF? I'm about as conservative as it gets, but I love CFLs because they put money directly into my pocket. They're more expensive up-front, but after a month or so, I'm turning a net profit. I'm not sure which shadow conspiracy you're referring to, but every conservative I know likes the idea of saving money and being eco-friendlier at the same time.
Ray, I know you mean well, and I'm glad that you post here.
Having said that, you have to stop accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being an RIAA troll. This is Slashdot; people will argue with you for the sake of argument. That doesn't mean they're on some sinister agency's payroll, though. You'd even "foe'd" me once after calling me one. I'm not. I'd just disagreed with you on some point or another, but I probably hate them more than you (since it's your job to keep things on a professional level and I'm not so bound).
Again, thanks for contributing real content to Slashdot. Please don't cheapen it, though, by slinging names at everyone who argues with you. Want to see real trolling? Let people figure out that they can get a rise out of you. That will definitely draw them out.

You're manually configuring a network of about 40 computers and I'm the idiot. Irony, thy name is Viol8.
Spoiler: the husband is really a psychopath and was guilty all along.
Apply that to any Lifetime movie; it'll fit.

Yep. They were removed from 5.0.0 beta 2 for various reasons.

I feel more dumberer for having read that.
Of course not, but please do it by name: hddvd.honeypot.net.
Should AACS ever enter the IPv6 space, I want to make sure I can refer to their likely homepage address by a convenient local alias.
