A verbal offence ought to be countered by a verbal retortion. No physical action, much less any action carried out with the intention of killing, could ever be justified by something someone said.
It's good that he has a lot of money, because this is going down the toilet.
There was a time when technology was based on science. Today we learn it's based on faith (Bill Gates said that for several years he has been a believer in the idea of LENR).
corrupt police officers who fined your car that was perfectly parked within the free parking lot
Because someone put a potentially fake note on your windshield saying "nice car".
If only Lonely Planet would advice people what Italian policemen mean when they ask you for a cup of coffee. I's all their fault, I think I'm going to sue them.
The pizza was gummy, the wine tasted of vinegar, the bread was at least two days old and they even charged 5$ for a bottle of water that was brought on the table already open, maybe refilled of tap water. I definitely do not recommend, please steer clear of vikingpower pizza lest they ruin your trip more than the corrupt police officers who fined your car that was perfectly parked within the free parking lot.
Nope. They didn't find the vulnerability by browsing the source code (almost nobody does that) and they only disclosed it so they could collect the bounty.
Wrong on both accounts.
The bugs were found through a systematical analysis of the code, and no one earned any bounty for doing so.
It is time to stop painting the open source fantasy as reality. Open source is great in theory but in practice it simply has not delivered outside of a few corner cases.
Actually the opposite is demonstrably true:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/c... Coverity finds open source software quality better than proprietary code
"In 2013, code quality of open-source projects using the Scan service surpassed that of proprietary projects at all code base sizes, which further highlights the open source community’s strong commitment to development testing."
FYI: Ancient Microsoft headers defined WORD as a 16-bit signed value and DWORD as a 32-bit signed value; then the Windows API declares its functions in terms of those same WORD and DWORD typedefs. As a result, anything attempting to be even remotely cross-platform copied the standard, so now WORD means 16-bit and DWORD means 32-bit. The terms have stuck, and now they're taught in school as hard constants.
This only has meaning in MS proper.
Hardware architectures and programming languages that were born in non-16 bits environments have WORDs that are differently sized.
Xorg is more than a presentation layer. It has networking (transport layer) and authentication capabilities, as well as device drivers for some old 2D graphic cards.
What about using an openhardware password storage device like Mooltipass?
http://hackaday.io/project/86-...
Mooltipass is composed of one main device and a smartcard.
On the device are stored your AES-256 encrypted passwords. The smartcard is a read protected EEPROM that needs a PIN code to unlock its contents (AES-256 key + a few websites credentials). As with your credit card, too many tries will permanently lock the smart card.
The mooltipass main components are: a smart card connector, an Arduino compatible microcontroller, a FLASH memory, an OLED screen and its touchscreen panel. The OLED screen provides good contrast and good visibility.
Unfortunatley this project is about to fail it's Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign.
That's the first stage. The second stage is robots vs. mankind's survivors. Because during the first stage of the war robots grow smarter then their masters and became conscious that they've been exploited by an inferior entity.

As with everyone else who wants to reduce the population, I say to you "you first".
World population and consumption rate is well beyond the sustainable threshold. Population reduction is going to happen anyway, the soft or the hard way.
You can have a much higher standard of living today with one person working than you could in the 60s!
In theory, if you look at the average household income. If you look at the actual wealth distribution patterns and if you keep in mind what today is needed to be employable (in terms of education and specialization) compared with what was required 50 years ago, you find out that a lot of people today are hopelessly unemployable and basically incapable of caring for their family.
The end of mindless menial labor is a good thing.
Much more that "mindless menial labor" went down the sinkhole, and too little sprung up to replace it. A large number of the population is hoplelessly unemployable, and the trend is towards a further reduction in human performed work being available. This, while a shinking minority of the population is gobbling down an ever increasing proportion of the wealth produced and productivity keeps running up:

How does reducing the population help? Then you'll simply have fewer people to buy and sell goods.
People who are out of job are bad buyers anyway.
Why can't we do that now, instead of reducing the population like you said a few sentences back? People work more because they want more, they see that shiny new Iphone as a necessity rather than a privilege.
What planet are you from, chap? Being unemployed is not a choice for most people (actually, for everyone except very few ascetic-minded ones). And a lot of people would rather spend more time leisuring around that having to work longer hours/working weeks to make ends meet.

I'd be happy to have "a six-pack of prophets handy" for terrorists to smear with swearwords instead of kalashnikoving me.

When I run that fast my typing becomes awful.
200 mls on a single charge... makes me wonder why my laptop still doesn'r run over 4hrs on a full charge (6 cell battery).
Ditto.
Wasn't everything Apple supposed to be the best?

Anyone can write a review.
As well as a /. comment.
You surely set a good example of what this New Internet would be like, right Mr. Anony Mouse?

No one of the people who designed and coded X11 in the eighties are now busy on Wayland that I know of.

Bounty? What bounty?
And this is just a PRESENTATION LAYER?!?
OMFG!!!
Xorg is more than a presentation layer. It has networking (transport layer) and authentication capabilities, as well as device drivers for some old 2D graphic cards.
It is an antanaclasis, which can be considered a type of pun. You dope.
What does santaclaus have to do with this?
There surely is a reason all distros for years have been configuring Xorg to run with the -nolisten tcp option set by default.
