sorry to bring up an offtopic rant, but again classic slashdot is in offline mode, and I actually have to use slashdot beta to post this. FUCK BETA. IF YOUR USERS DONT LIKE YOUR DESCISIONS, THEN OVERTHINK THEM. EVEN WINDOWS 10 HAS A STARTMENU AGAIN. DICE YOU CAN DECIDE WHETHER YOU ARE WORSE THAN MS OR BETTER.
dude A registered sex.com dude B fucked girl @ registry company of dude A and used further tricks to get sex.com dude B made millions with the domain name dudes C and D founded google, resulting in loss of "random visitors" dude A got sex.com back from B through court descision, demanded $64 million dude B didn't pay, fled to mexico, was turned over, spent time in prison, still didnt pay until today
Yes please, require 10 certifications until you can connect a router to the internet. Best is the build is signed, and the user's access to the system is restricted, otherwise they can install malware because of infected computers. Of course every single of those 10 certifications needs money, but everybody can pay 1.000.000$ for releasing a build, so thats no problem. With government certifications, it would be ensured that insecure and uncertified router firmwares like dd-wrt are forbidden, which is good for users because of security and companies because then they can deliver an even better experience to their customers.
GoogleMaps will never have a sane license for their maps. When you edit google maps, you perhaps improve their map. But its their map then, not yours anymore. OSM map is everyone's. You instantly have access to all kinds of map data -- google maps will never be as good as OSM here. Want to generate a power grid of europe? if you have the knowledge, its just a command away.
And they wouldn't have doctor programs that can't sing. I mean they will have doctor programs that can't sing, but none that think they can in fact they don't.
Does anyone know whether the drivers for all those wonderful devices will be open source? Will they have open APIs at least, or will I have to install the app of the vendor instead, where some "extra features" cost money? Will I give every device connected to my smartphone basically root access, or access to a system bus which can be used to read and write arbitrary data to RAM?
KDE on wayland is not complete yet. There has been work for kwin, but one thing is sure: if you want to use it on wayland, you will need, as usual, systemd. Of course, the author points out that this does not imply you will also need to install a web server and a ntp daemon, and that the dependency is on the API not on the program itself, but then show me an alternative implementation i can use. You know, systemd brings nice new APIs and so on, but then I read about the next thing systemd broke. Its in the man page of the shutdown command that this should work.
recently I saw a microsoft ad that featured a device that always has the most recent OS. Seems google gets some competition. lets hope it aint gonna be MS.
Then engineers build their systems so that they work with leap miliseconds, as otherwise they would fail more often. If your system fails only every 4 years and then only for a few seconds, you won't invest in fixing the problem. If the event occurs more often, then you're forced to.

true.
Linux would certainly rise the entry level for malware writers, which would make malware writing a less promising market.
as most viruses and trojans today are written for windows.

Of course applets are dead, but Loconut1389 has mentioned them.
Modern web sites shouldn't rely on Java plugins. There is only one native scripting language for the web, and that's js.

I'm happy with osmand
btw, lincoln used alot of surveillance during the civil war.
So, what's the fix? Before, everybody could remotely open your car, now only BMW can do it? They call that a "fix"?
From TFS:
They further estimate that GRBs prevent complex life like that on Earth in 90% of the galaxies.
So, life possible on 10% of the galaxies means that those are none at all? What about our own one? This smells of clickbait.
Those things they plan to introduce -- web identifiers -- already exist:

Watch interstellar. Its future however.
does it support vi or emacs commands?

or several million years, and add a second every day!
