Yes, the Linksys WRT1900AC might be the "next WRT54G", but not yet. Needs more time for OpenWRT and the open source thing to get all the bugs and testing ironed out. But its got all the right signs. A company open source friendly, a powerful and well designed bit of hardware. But the jury is out whether it will all come together.
Apple routers are good if you don't mind the bare bones features. No quotas, no QOS, no route tables, no usage information. Just plain jane router. But the question here is a WRT54GS replacement, and that, Apple aint.
It's the almost bit that will get you unstuck. No doubt the BSD network code could be dropped into Linux, but making it all work still wouldn't be trivial.
So if Chrysler sold a car without working air-con and without a working stereo, but if you pay $3000 they will enable them, and then someone discovers that the technological measure is they don't put a fuse in the fuse box, and then you stick a fuse in there, is that a technological measure protected by the DMCA?
Russia has always been a very authoritarian state, even from well before Soviet times. But its a shame to see them going backwards like this. This ought to be the time for their freedoms to bloom, but alas.
At a bare minimum this applies to citizens and people in their borders. In a case like this, the company in the borders offering services must comply with the law. Now if a pure US company offered a service to EU people without a legal presence, but happened to store their server in the EU, that would be very unusual, and interesting legally.
Slight increase? When the bad guys are in charge it can lead to rampant and uncontrolled fraud. Would that necessarily happen in this case? Maybe not this year. Maybe not next year. But can you guarantee what is going on in 10, 20 or 50 years? Democracy is too precious to fool around with. You should consider it as dangerous as the nuclear launch codes. There may not be many nuclear disasters, but boy oh boy does it screw up everything when there is.
Yes yes, wikipedia is "fundamentally unreliable". But didn't someone do a study and find that Encyclopaedia Britannica was MORE unreliable? Considering how many factoids are in wikipedia, my guess is that the overall reliability is probably pretty excellent, and the discovery of an error, even a deliberate an egregious one like this one, doesn't change that.
Maybe the REALLY unreliable factoid is the claim that wikipedia is unreliable. We should learn that anecdotes do not make good statistics.
I don't know the fine details of this bug, but am I the only one appalled at how obvious this bug sounds? It doesn't even properly check the certificate? I mean buffer overflows and such are one thing, but not properly testing your certificate code seems unforgivable.

Unless you're in Silicon valley, under pressure to work crazy hours, using various substances to achieve that, you're not really in a position to comment are you?
Well he did say with optimisations enabled. I have no idea whether the claim is true or not, but simply pointing out that gcc is built with gcc doesn't disprove it.
Well, depending on where you live there may be sme kind of right to free speech. In the US it is fairly explicit. In the UK and commonwealth countries there have been rulings that say there is an implied right to a certain degree of free speech. So is there a right to search, which is really a form of free speech? Well, there may well be.

yeah, and the Java experience is that embedding code with html isn't a great idea. That's why JSP is on the way out and JSF on the way in.

I agree that this was a decent shot at a Darwin award, but then again I think all talk of autonomous vehicles is Darwinish.

A funny story, but presumably border protection could shut it down.
Well... not necessarily if the data is encrypted with the pass phrase in the head of an employee.

But what if obeying the subpoena would contravene dutch law?
And what if this contravenes EU privacy policies, and if Microsoft UK obeys it, those employees would be risking jail time?
"The US can enforce its warrant against Microsoft because Microsoft operates within its jurisdiction. "
I dare say Microsoft operates within almost every jurisdiction on earth, in some form or another.
From what I've read, its more contagious than that. Some top name doctor in Africa got it, and I'm pretty sure he would have been careful.
Ha ha, but seriously all Programmers should know some basic ed.

Really? Can you cite what law you're breaking?
Unless you're in Silicon valley, under pressure to work crazy hours, using various substances to achieve that, you're not really in a position to comment are you?
What is heartless about it? You enjoy watching human beings go into life threatening situations so you can get your rocks off?

Well he did say "throughout its existence", not merely "at the beginning when he was bootstrapping the project".
