There are literally dozens of articles on the topic if you bothered to look for yourself. Here is one of many. I don't know if they will ditch their OS completely but I suspect they will.
Exactly. The submitter is obviously politically biased with the use of the term 'Luddite.' If I buy an expense sports car I plan on actually driving it myself.
here's no doubt that the Slashdot community is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, and prolific communities on the web.
You must be new here.
The really sad thing is that it used to be so. I've been here since the beginning, though I didn't sign up for an ID immediately. This used to be the go to site for news for nerds and stuff that matters. Not only has the level of discourse dropped precipitously but the quality of content has as well. Most 'breaking news' stories that I see here are ones I saw days ago on other sites. The editors are a joke and do not even bother to try editing anything. I'm willing to give the new owners the benefit of the doubt, but I really can't see how they can fix any of this.
"As a leading digital media company, we publish hundreds of popular web sites and provide advertising solutions for multiple industries such as travel & tourism, telecommunications, personal finance, credit, business products and more."
I'm not sure if that is good or bad, but I think we can probably expect more ads.
They should be phasing those out regardless. Netscreen devices are EOL. Too many people are still using them. I know I have actively encouraged clients to ditch them. Unfortunately the Juniper SRX firewalls are crap, at least the low end/branch ones. The big iron is alright but still doesn't compare feature wise to Check Point, Palo Alto, Fortinet, etc.
They are not asking for any financial compensation. They are doing it a) because they can and b) because the troll had it dismissed without prejudice, meaning they could file again.
Among many ignored assumptions, did this post take into account the carbon emissions of building such a grid?
Construction equipment doesn't run on lithium batteries.
While you're correct, the long term benefits would most likely more than make up for it. This kind of massive infrastructure project also helps the economy; another side benefit.
The context of the conversation is customer service for people who already have accounts that can be exploited via the social engineering of said customer service.
I know you're joking, but sending nukes to attack a civilization with engineering advanced enough to build a Dyson Sphere or other mega-structures would probably be like ants developing the technology to throw grains of sand at relatively low velocities at us.

Wrong actress!
Just be glad they still allowed you to play the rest of the games you bought.
This. I can no longer play Half-Life 2 after my nephew said some stupid things in chat in TF2. I paid for the game. I should be allowed to play it!
Don't let other people use your account. That would have solved your particular problem.
He has a law degree according to his profile. That explains a lot.
"Search the DNA of people from a culture in which marrying a relative is common."
So they went to the Appalachians to do the study?
Lies, I say. Lies!
I'm not so sure that is true in today's global economy. When any country takes an economic hit it has a ripple effect.
Just what PC gamers need - games targeted at low end hardware so it will run on a console.
Not necessarily. There's this thing called 'settings' in most games. You know, like higher resolution/quality graphics, physics, etc...

What, Republicans doing "dirty tricks"?!? That's never happened before!!!
Right, and Democrats have never, ever played dirty tricks. Both parties are corrupt in their tactics, not to mention in other things.
Yep. One of the dumbest ideas I've seen in awhile. Probably a slashvertisement to help raise venture capital.

What do you mean since Dice sold it? Slashdot has never had actual editors. I'm honestly not quite sure what Timothy does all day.

I was speaking in terms of firewall performance and features. I pretty much expect them all to be compromised in some way these days.

Don't forget that it also helps protect you. Ads are a common vector for drive by malware attacks.

All ICANN does is hand out blocks of IP addresses. They have no control over what is done with them, nor can they. Weak troll is weak.

POE is very common. It is the type of device that combines POE with USP that the submitter is asking about that is rare. Read the summary again.
I thought it was turtles all the way down...
They won't, and that's deliberate by the phone manufacturers and carriers. They want you to keep buying new phones every 1-2 years.
