The problem isn't if they add DRM for plugins and modules for properly licensing content.. It's that it USUALLY will mean they will have to enact it across the board or lock our certain other plugins as part of the licensing model.
you mean like how firefox had to go closed-source before they could play netflix videos? and you are telling me that "only closed source browsers can support flash"
what an idiot you are

There's a reason many people used this platform (right or wrong) and they're removing that reason. Now, they'll just be yet another media player that's locked in with DRM in a giant pool of pre-existing systems.
perhaps it could be considered that actually using a product for its intended purpose would be why people choose it, adding new features to a product does not necessarily diminish the value of the existing features
or maybe you're just a stupid troll
You clearly don't understand the product or why it's so popular. The problem isn't if they add DRM for plugins and modules for properly licensing content.. It's that it USUALLY will mean they will have to enact it across the board or lock our certain other plugins as part of the licensing model. That's where they're going to lose out and the point of my comment.

United should be fined hugely for this, the four removed should sue. The staff involved fired, the execs making that policy fired.
But nothing will happen, i normally fly them, but will look elsewhere.
Yes and it seems many others here are blindly commenting and don't understand what actually happened. This wasn't an overbooking scenario. This was a scenario where passengers had been cleared, boarded and seated. Then another flight crew needed to board to make a flight for the next day. No one volunteered, so they played Hunger Games with the passengers. One of the ones selected was a Dr that had patients to see in the morning and thus his refusal.
United Airlines then turned in to President Snow and had a 69 year old man beaten and drug, yes, drug, (not carried as some outfits want to say), off the plane over it.
United could have easily booked this crew later or sent them by other means. They chose to violently remove a 69 year old man like he was brandishing a weapon or threatening people.
So, people carrying on about overbooking can get bent as that's not what happened. This wasn't denial of boarding. It was violent eviction.
United is going to end up paying for this event, one way or another.
The Aviation Security officer has already been placed on leave and his outfit as publicly stated his actions were not in line with their policy (re: he's f*cked).
Now it's on to see how UA is going to handle this mess.
Linking together observatories spread across such a huge area...
It is a symptom of humanity's hubris to believe that an area the size of Earth is considered huge when measuring the massive black hole that sits at the center of our galaxy.
You sound like Clark from Good Will Hunting, spouting off seemingly highbrow garbage in an attempt to sound intelligent but ultimately just coming off as a douche. There is nothing hubris about the passage and you completely misunderstood and misinterpreted the same by trying to belittle it (and all of us in the process).
Daring: adventurous or audaciously bold// adventurous courage
Adventurous: willing to take risks or to try out new methods, ideas, or experiences.
Bold: showing an ability to take risks; confident and courageous.
So..... flying a very expensive craft, billions of miles away, on hours long time lag, with limited fuel, in a crowded orbit that no human eye has ever seen directly, some how isn't bold or daring?
Oh, maybe remotely piloting a very expensive probe, with hours long time lag, in orbit around a very cluttered planet and very complex math and projections to assist with what needs to be where.
Imarine playing a driving sim, where you had to plan the entire race from before it started and had no real time control to move away from something coming at you and 0 options of a do over
No dumbass, GG is going into production again. You're so out of touch. Glassholes was just a smear campaign started by drunk people. Who cares what they think? Even with the smear GG was a success and is now being produced again.
You seem to lack reading comprehension
"So did the Samsung Note7 and look how that turned out.. Just because something goes in to production and even enters the market doesn't preclude it from being a failure."
Most switches support ACLs on all services, and/or on switch SVIs (if you don't have prohibitively many of those), and/or CoPP, so you can tell the switch not to talk to anything but your management stations. You just have to set things up so you can alter those ACLs en-masse when needed. No need for a firewall, really, as long as you aren't using ridiculous utilities that do not belong on a switch in the first place.
That said, there's pretty much zero reason to use telnet these days, and even the last vestiges of FTP and TFTP are starting to become unnecessary as more switch facilities are supporting SCP or (sigh) SFTP. Sigh on the latter because you really are putting a lot of trust in the other end of the connection because SFTP subprotocol code is not production quality code, even in the openSSH tree. But at least someone has to actually own the endpoint to get at it.
Yes, I understand that, that's great, a lot of that is best practice and in all my years and all the companies I've worked for and systems I've helped migrated, worked on, have managed, etc. I can count on one hand the number of them that were properly configured with ACLs blocking of stuff from user segments, properly configured interconnectivity, complex passwords, clear text protocls being fully off, etc. Not allowing this station etc. And you think your management computers are safe? not really. I've seen plenty of bastion systems being used as source mgmt points for all manner of systems and lazy engineers using web browsers on them to download whatever utility or tool they need. Just because you've locked out your stuff to a bastion server doesn't mean it's protected, it just means your compromise point is now actually pinpointed to a singular or group of devices. Lucky me. Less field work to do.
That's all great on paper, but it's not as wide-spread in most places as you'd think. I've met many CCIEs that are outright lazy when it comes to locking down switching and routing connections because it makes their job even harder to deal with the ever changing zones, lans, nodes, and whatever wildass hair mgmt gets in their butt that week about which people/persons "need" access to what and when.
I use firewall generically here and not literally a Firewall as well.
That means someone would have to be dumb enough to 1) Have the mgmt of the switch be publicly available 2) Have Telnet enabled.
Don't get me wrong, it's a bad bug. But a security-minded admin should not have these problems.
Err.. yes/no..
If I was going to attempt to exploit something like this, I'd assume most would be inaccessible from the internet as a general use or would be white listed only..
What I WOULD do is use this in conjuction with a machine level hack/compromise inside their network and then run amuk from there.. That's much easier to do and less will have full firewall off from within their networks from all PC segments.
Google Glass wasn't a failure dumbshit. It's literally going into production already.
So did the Samsung Note7 and look how that turned out.. Just because something goes in to production and even enters the market doesn't preclude it from being a failure.
Google Glass was outright HATED by many.. To the point of people wearing them being physically assaulted, yelled out and called Glassholes.
Slashdot Mirror
I prefer DeBussy.
Worse.
He has to spend the rest of his life as a merged life form with Neelix.
Declaring a bounty against a particular group is effectively putting out a hit on someone.
We are already there at the violence part. It's just not transpired yet.

You don't understand what the word risk means.. Nor do you seem to understand much more outside your very limited little thoughts.
Just because a human life isn't hanging in the balance here doesn't mean it's not bold, daring or risky.
Daring: adventurous or audaciously bold // adventurous courage
Adventurous: willing to take risks or to try out new methods, ideas, or experiences.
Bold: showing an ability to take risks; confident and courageous.
So..... flying a very expensive craft, billions of miles away, on hours long time lag, with limited fuel, in a crowded orbit that no human eye has ever seen directly, some how isn't bold or daring?
Yeah. Sure thing. :/
AR and VR are different.. There are a multitude of games and movies you're not going to want to play or watch in AR. You'd fully break the immersion.
FTFA. They're pretty much out of fuel. They cant.
Oh, maybe remotely piloting a very expensive probe, with hours long time lag, in orbit around a very cluttered planet and very complex math and projections to assist with what needs to be where.

So, plenty to be daring about.
Someone get the lights. We're done here.
Great reply to the points. Couldn't habe said it better
Punch card. Abacus. Stones. :)
That's nothing new. Consoles and PCs have been warping time and reality for decades.
Tesla is WAAAY over-valued.
FTFY
Tesla sells supercars and luxury SUVs that are futuristic EV's that *work* and look good. Tesla IS the future of cars.
Ford sells shitboxes that break down all the time and still burn gas.
I know which i'd buy.
Looks are subjective and while I'm not a fan of Ford, I think Teslas look like they have extra chromosomes and their interiors are drab at best.
My FPM would like to talk to you both.
as a Canadian I agree! We don't Americans coming up here and ruining this great nation with their bizarre, trashy world views. Same for the British.
Nationalists have no business in a country that has no real culture of its own and we Canadians are quite fine with that.
Hey, buddy.
What are you going on aboot?
Which would still require Telnet to be enabled.
Which isn't anywhere as farfetched as you'd think.
No dumbass, GG is going into production again.
