A) There is not that much Martian atmosphere to slow the "meteorite" to the point a "soft landing" and I can see no re-entry rockets on said rock; so your reasoning is bollocks.
B) That's a pretty good trick of erosion to fill the crater AND at the same time push the meteorite up to make it look like no crater at all; so your reasoning is bollocks.
I would have to disagree with that for the most part. The significant difference between Linux and Windows when it comes to dealing with viruses is that the Linux world will not hesitate to really fix the underlying cause; where as with Windows, they just put a bandage over it and hope for the best. AFAIK there is really only one "real AV" for Linux, and that is Clamav and the only reason it exists is to filter out the nastiness found in the Windows world.
What's the point in writing an exploit that will give access to a Linux desktop when you could write the exploit for Windows and target about fifteen times the number of potential victims?
That's just the same old numbers argument... when really it is way easier to compromise a Windows box than just about any other OS around. If the situation were reversed and the alternative OSes still retained their level of security I do not think you would see the same level of threats as you do with Windows. That is of course assuming the increased number of users using alternative OSes do not do stupid shit like run as root or change login users to have root level access.
Oh grow up.When people fret because the ending of a play was "made public" they need to stop fiddling with the lint in their belly button.And besides since when did Wikipedia become "authoritative"... may be they *got it wrong*.
the FBI is way to busy being the butt boys for the RIAA. They don't have time to fiddle with some as mundane as school officials violating laws so lets just declare "we found no criminal intent" and sweep it under the rug. Of course we will never really know the full details for the basis the FBI used.

Memeger says he decided to make Tuesday's announcement to close the matter before the start of the school year.
Yeah, lets not have a school being sued while school is in session... nice excuse.
....Adobe has spent a lot of time optimizing Flash,....
Adobe has had years to "optimize Flash" and it is still a resource pig. I'd say given the hugely short amount of time HTML5 has been here it is already way better than Flash was for the same time frame. The bottom line; flash has always sucked and still does.
Even if TFA does not specify a single example. I think that is immaterial. The real issue is why my tax dollars are being used to subsidize the oil industry in the first place. It is not like that industry is fledgling, not been around for a while or actually really needs it; especially given their historical profit levels over the years. Even in your last statement you still miss the point. The billions used to subsidize the oil industry should not even be there... it should be in renewable energy.
Your off your rocker if you think Linux has not gone any where in that past decade. It can found in cell phones, smartphone, router, switches, television, PVRs, stereo systems, and wollops the piss out of every OS on the top 500 super computer. That's just to name a few. Any alienation that has been harmful to Linux is the idiot Window user that think everything should work like Windows... including its piss poor security. Oh and lets not forget the shenanigans of Microsoft.
So let me sum up your lousy attempt at tribalism. Piss off.
But let me guess. It would be really swell if everyone joined Shuttelworth's side and redirected their tribalism energies towards all thing not *buntu.
File at 11. And that you baboon butted, over paid buffoon is your problem. If it wasn't for the infrastructure Gates built for you wasn't there, you'd still be trying to manage your way out of a wet paper bag while standing on top of it.
Well on-line classes from an accredited college is not exactly cheap. They can be several thousand dollars per course, so your flippant response shows a great deal of ignorance.
That' hardly surprising. No one wants to admit their political party sucks. At best they might acknowledge theirs sucks less but that would be the extent of it.
After reading TFA, somehow calling the RIAA and the music industry in general racketeers just does not adequately describe them. Their methods of accounting does sound like something done by the MAFIA.
Software rot is immaterial to the issue. I think IBM summed it up nicely about the supposed amount of "their code" that is in Linux this way:
Even if (contrary to fact) all of the System V Code were protectable by copyright, it could not render the Linux kernel substantially similar to the System V Works because the Disputed Code represents a trivial portion -- less than five one-thousandths of one percent (.005%) -- of the most cited of the System V Works and is qualitatively insignificant.
How can they reasonably tell him where his code infringes theirs? He had not posted the code so how could they possibly know? They are not being reasonable. Someone should initiate a review to have their patents invalidated.
They tried that and was ignored. Besides it probably doesn't matter because if these "good guys" found it, it is not unreasonable to think the bad guys already know about it. In fact the more I think about this, it is the "bad guys" who are being more responsible than the "good guys" because the bad guys KEEP THEIR MOUTH about vulnerabilities.

If that is a meteorite, then where is the crater?
Really, the only hardware Microsoft has done reasonably well is the mouse, even then they just borrowed other technology.

Gesh so now we can't even talk about stuff cause we "might spoil" it for another. Get over it. Grandma and you have made your money so hush.
please provide a tarball.

As long as it remains CDDL it will go no where.
