I think you might be right. There's not much that should rise to this level of alarm, but this would.
I told a client earlier today, "let's assume it's a post-sanitation vulnerability and make a plan to handle that. We can scale back the plans if it turns out to be less severe."
Mine has one banner ad at the bottom of the Roku main menu which advertises some show or service from one of the channels. Is that what you mean by slathering and smearing, or do you get something different?
They could have one or two people developing the patch in a local branch and simply not push anything upstream until it's done and tested and have the same effect, this is just an easier approach.
That's exactly it - the typical open source methodology and infrastructure isn't really what defines the product as open source or not. Many of the commercial dual-licensed vendors still just throw code over the wall every few months, and they're definitely still open source. All the PostgreSQL folks are doing is closing the infrastructure to non-core contributors for a week - the code is and will be open source.
It would be neat if there was a redundant infrastructure for these sorts of needs, but I'm guessing they decided that spinning one up wasn't worth delaying the fix.
At an expected price of only $35, one should expect what has happened.
You can currently source a capacitive multitouch ICS device with a camera and fast SoC from eBay for $65 delivered to your door, first-world, quantity one. Could an order of 100,000 units with a resistive screen, without any middlemen get that down to $35? It seems entirely do-able. It's not going to be a great device, but better than no device.
Yea the first day the earth was already there and light was created,
Baryons formed at about 10^-35 seconds, while photons didn't arise until about 10^-11 seconds. You come up with a better allegory to explain to the cavemen.
They are not creating direct connections to the target, that would be too easy to prevent as you only had to block certain IP addresses.
Right, we can't prevent this attack by blackholing their netblock, but we can attack their business model by denying them traffic for their routine business.
Say, who runs a trustworthy organization publishing the CIDR's of the networks that are unambiguously bad Internet actors? I'd like to subscribe to it on my border routers.
It might be, but without the profit and price signals it's hard to know whether those are worthwhile investments or malinvestments (which are worse than non-investments). Meanwhile, there's little lending going on - 90% of the new money is created out of thin air, which decreases the value of everybody else's savings and drives up prices for all.
And I say that as a booster who was happy with an n810 and the Qt work just a few years ago. Sorry about that cancer you got, Nokia (or was it MS?), but it's changed you and it's fatal.
I've been intending to buy one forever, but with this plugged into the TV and if my old Sierra Games floppies will read, this would be great fun for the kids. I've been avoiding introducing them to the FPS games, which IMO are boring and stupidifying.
Sucking a quarter billion dollars from the economic recovery.
Don'cha know, all economic growth comes through government spending. If you believe that, I've got a $125K job for you collecting tolls on the Turnpike.
New Hampshire is already heavily politically polluted by its propinquity to Massachusetts. Please do not encourage more shit heads to move here from Boston and Cambridge.
Statistically speaking, Masshole transplants tend to vote along with New Hampshire values. I realize there are very vocal (and hypocritical) exceptions.
And, yes, I'd about to read the article to see if it affects a colo'ed rack I tend to in MA. It's possible that it makes sense to move it out of MA.
Yeah, this. OP needs to realize that switching distros down the line is an option and a skill to build. Mint is "easy" but you can learn plenty there. You can move on to an Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, or the like later.
GPL doesnt "make the software really free" unless you subscribe to a particular definition of freedom which excludes developer freedom.
Shame you got modded Troll, because you're exactly right. Software Freedom and Developer Freedom aren't the same thing, nor are they obligatorily linked. GPL is about Software Freedom and BSD is about Developer Freedom. There's no better way to explain this than to compare the two licenses.
Of course the WTFPL folks would argue that neither are either.

Prices dont always get cut in half just because you ordered 100,000 units.
Agreed. Fortunately, that was only one of seven pricing factors I mentioned.

How do you avoid mud and bugs obscuring the lens?
Is there a ready-to-go open-source online journal package?

He has been pushing scientific boundaries for years in an environment that is as inhospitable as space.
Designing for deep-sea is actually a fairly practical way to advance the technology needed for space as well. Not 100% but many commonalities.
That and Cameron probably gets favorable tax treatment for the donation, rather than just depreciating the unused asset over time.
Also: "this [boat] belongs in a museum!" I hope that's its eventual fate.

It isn't about screwing the consumer so much as preventing the consumer from becoming a producer.
And controlling the playback devices, and therefore the means of production and distribution in the video arena.

If you had a membrane that could withstand the pressure
I think the thought here is that the aerogel would provide the rigidity that the membrane lacks.
hard real time
In a vacuum, the material should float.
What would it be displacing in a vacuum? Paging @Archimedes.
a functional pseudo-vacuum balloon that doesn't collapse under atmospheric pressure.
Now that would change the world.

vxworks does sell a hard realtime linux - maybe they're using that. Technically linux runs on the vx microkernel/hypervisor thingy.
You get to deal with linux but then have a few more knobs to tell it how to behave.
