But it also produces patentable products that can revolutionize the market and allow the company to profit from patent licensing even when they aren't interested in the market that the patent would apply to.
I know that Microsoft makes a shitload of patent fees from Android devices. Were those patents researched at Microsoft labs?
Just like Bittorrent sync, its highly dependent on your setup. If you run Owncloud on your home router with 1M uplink, your speed is that small. If you run your owncloud on a server with a gigabit uplink, and use google fiber, and you have an SSD in your owncloud server, you might get faster speeds.
... and you don't need privilege escalation if you want to write an X keylogger. You only need to be abled to execute code as the user you want to track.
Why do we need multiple rendering engines? There should be one to rule them all. It seems that even large companies like microsoft can't fix all issues, and microsoft has to maintain multiple rendering engines, like Trident or the Office rendering engine. If microsoft would use trident for office documents, too, and all plug-ins were made in js (or NaCL if you like binary), Office could profit by the huge efforts Microsoft (and Google) puts into securing Browsers.
They could post the stamps (or a merkle tree header of all stamps of the last hour) on the bitcoin blockchain, or any other (cryptographic) notary. Then nothing is "lost in the machine", and you don't have to trust the service's computers.
That "somebody" is W3C. And if Microsoft doesn't implement it in their internet explorer, the fact that it is a "standard interface" is not the fault of "browser vendors", but of microsoft. and browser vendors (even microsoft) have aligned their js implementations.
So yes, there is no "generally accepted" standard interface, when you define "generally accepted" as being runnable on IE8. But when you can afford to say to your users "get a modern browser" (still don't understand why google discontinued their chrome frame), you can use that standard interface. In the meantime, you can write in HTML5 and provide a flash fallback, there are lots of good libraries that provide you with such a solution without much effort from you.
You are right in principle. All it takes is to make the browser a real VM environment with security guarantees, a standardized interface, etc. But that is not going to happen anytime soon,
The fact that browsers have such a large userbase, and its incredibly easy to make browsers execute potentially evil javascript, js is one of the most secure and best sandboxed languages that exist, that is still powerful. OK there are things as canvas tracking, and webgl shaders. But show me something that supports truly secure accelerated graphics.
When I run my browser, I choose which file to upload. A program running on my computer can read every file I can read. When an application wants to access my webcam, it asks me. On the desktop the application simply accesses my webcam. On X.org you can even write a keylogger without having extra privileges.
First JVM is not language-specific: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... Second, javascript can be the compile target of LLVM bytecode. You can compile your favourite C program to js. See emscripten: https://github.com/kripken/ems... Third, javascript has a very fast but still backwards compatible bytecode like subset called asm.js: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... asm.js can be set as target for emscripten. The browsers supporting asm.js simply JIT it to bytecode, and those which don't still can run asm.js, but way slower.
is for me that it isn't interoperable. Please correct me when I'm wrong, but AFAIK systemd never did anything to create standards their new functionality is compatible with. Instead they only support linux APIs. I recognize that their needs exceed POSIX, but their current approach "lets make everything a hard dependency" is -to be polite- hacky. It doesn't have to be an official ISO standard, a simple document that ensures exchangeability of components inside systemd, and perhaps even makes systemd cross-platform.
+1 Informative. That Systemd is default isn't criticised by the mail. They only want to "preserve the freedom of our users now to select an init system of their choice, and the project's freedom to select a different init system in the future.".
Browsers are the most secure and privacy preserving way today to execute programs on your computer. They maintain a clear separation between the data on your HDD and theirs, if they need access to your camera they ask you, and it has become really hard to develop an exploit to break out of this sandbox. Because of xkcd 1200, I usually avoid using closed source apps on my desktop, but inside a browser I know it doesn't steal my data, or break something else in my system. Do you remember all those "splash screens" that appeared when you have logged in, advertising some bloaty software? In the browser there are no splash screens. I know, app stores also ensure standards and such, but browsers are still better, as they ensure basic features (copy text, ctrl f etc) I need in everyday computer use.
People who want to do something first should expect a bumpy ride. Having to pay $10k more is part of the word "pioneer". Pioneers clear the path for the masses.
Yeah, it might be true that Linux servers are more secure than windows servers, or win desktop, but X comes from an age where people didn't care about per-app isolation, but about per-user isolation. X is, in security terms, broken.
In order to annihilate n KG of matter, you needed n KG of antimatter. You couldn't even annihilate this message on your computer with all combined antimatter, the mass of the memory cells this post is stored on your computer exceeds produced antimatter mass.
This encryption is only useful when the phone never were unlocked after authorities got suspicious of you. The moment you unlock, it connects to the carrier, the baseband downloads the rootkit (or they use one of the various other backdoors they have), and the authorities get the key, and any other phone content they wish.

And legalizing weapons in america goes back to defend yourself from evil people like redcoats, slaves, or federal gvt.
Finally some judge understands how the internet works, and now you complain that he has.

Unfortunately, as long as it isn't also unconstitutional to hand out candy like candy, nobody cares.
Vorbis might be a dead horse (it isn't), but opus really is king. Its MTI codec for WebRTC not without reason.
Most likely ZorinLynx uses Safari or IExploder, as the files are encoded as ogg, and those two browsers are the only ones not supporting ogg.
They can install a codec plugin though.

from the archive.org headers (X-archive-orig-server), I can tell its cloudflare-nginx they use. What wonders me, as cloudflare prevents slashdotting??

Except the fact that browser programs are always-online of course.

The heat problem is a cooling prolem, nothing more. Traditional motors also produce tons of heat, but they are cooled, and everything is fine.
