In the perfect market, the price is determined by supply and demand. If the demand raises and the supply stays the same, the price raises. So if you believe the price is too high, just raise the supply as well. Banning price surges just adds imperfections into the market.
I don't think republicans or anybody else will really care. If there are 1 billion people who want to move into your country with a few hundred million people, you always will have to say "no", even if they all were evangelicals or had other kinds of religions the republicans *would* like. The sheer number of it will just drown this religion argument, or any other argument. It will just be about bikeshedding issues about how to keep them all out of the place. Like whether to put automatically shooting devices at the border line or whether to man it with guards.
You realize that facebook built that app for exactly this reason. They want to murder the openness of the internet, and make money with that. Not really enough yet to replace good old MS as no #1 evil us tech corp, but still a big deal.
Right, but the general Linux ecosystem isn't as tightly controlled by a single entity.
The only two relevant ways Linux gets used as of now is Linux/Android and Linux/systemd. While Linux itself is not controlled by a single entity, Android and systemd are.
And as encryption is often used for verification purposes, a master key would also give the ability to modify information. That's something I'd rather not want.
Patents are far too good of a weapon to be taken away by the government. Better not use them except neccessary, eg when to kill off small competition. And at the same meeting they can also talk about the prices their new products will have, perhaps they can find a deal where everyone wins.
And you can murder thousands of meatsacks if you hack into a car manufacturer (does not have to be a smart car, just one where the electronics can override the hardware functionalities), and their security architecture looks like a star where the manufacturer can do instant OTA updates to all its cars. You just tell the cars to drive as fast as they can, disabling any brakes and steering, and if a certain tempo is reached (let's say 150 km/h), you simply swiftly steer to the left or right, and let the accident unroll.
Hacking has already been used as a weapon as a first measure in a war already.
Its not the path terrorists would pursue as of now, as the technological barrier of entry to e.g. blow up a nuclear reactor "the analog way" is much lower, but even the terrorism dimension of threat is there.
You know right now computers just store our information, and our lives don't really much depend on them imminently. But look at what happened with Sony, their computer systems got hacked. They really struggled at keeping the company operational. Or look at the crypto locker epidemic we have right now. So computer security is a big problem, even now, costing lots of money. Its not as front page worthy as some people with machine guns killing civilians, but the threat and harm done is real and will be bigger with time.
Linus originally wrote the Linux kernel for desktop use. It is market leader in the server world, having a market share of 100% in supercomputers, and as part of the android operating system it is market leader on the smartphone market as well.
It was very old hardware, and the WiFi chip was itself very old. It worked in principle, it was just a bit buggy from times to times.
About the printer, I can't recall the brand anymore. I just know that it was network capable and had cloud integration (as well as an app for the smartphone so that you can make the printer print stuff from the smartphone).
I've installed Linux on my sister's aging laptop, as a replacement for the XP she had before. I'd warned her multiple times that XP was going EOL and that she should jump to an alternative, and after some time of nagging she agreed that I can put Ubuntu on her Laptop. Unfortunately the WiFi driver didn't work and the new shiny (and expensive!) printer she bought a few weeks earlier didn't have any Linux driver support at all, so she wasn't very happy with it.
Recently she bought herself a new laptop, she didn't want me to replace the pre-installed Windows.
With error correction you never get perfect transports, there is always the likelihood that all bits flip the right way such that the error code remains valid. The only thing error codes give you is to make errors less likely, to an arbitrary extent. They don't give you the ability to eliminate all errors. You can however make it so unlikely that the likelihood that an error happens within the next 10 billion years is less than 1%.
You know i for one welcome our new systemd overlords. Part of why non-systemd users don't get supported anymore is because there are no non-systemd services anymore with a rich API as systemd. And very often unification is very good.
You know there have been multiple projects for standardisation among linux, and many of them have failed. Most of them just published a standard nothing more. systemd offered an implementation, without a standard, and it was successful, didn't fail.
If having only one opening would be a good idea, we would be running around with one big opening in our belly with which we eat, shit, speak and breathe. And although there are people for which the second and third actions are quite similar, we have separate openings for separate things.
What you are doing is a dumb idea, and God/The evolution came to that conclusion, they are smarter than any of you.

So the K in KDE stands for "Krap" after all?

TLDR: No.
Next story please.

And he is rich, and you aren't.
Switzerland isn't Sweden as much as Indiana isn't India.
is this something good for swiss business, or something bad?
I mean tax havens are doing great as well.

Shhh its not to be called like that until it bursts!
But really, if giants like calr icahn sell off their stocks, the burst is not far away, isn't it.

This is a stupid idea and I hope it never takes off.
Summarizes my position on this quite well.
If they drown we know they were innocent. How sad they drowned!

systemd. It took over udev, and is now installed on far more places than udev was before.
And there is blink (from webkit).
