God knows you would not want to develop a cross platform game from the get go and save on the porting fees to almost double you revenue over Windows... That's just crazy talk...
Also, I (and I am really not that special in this) will no longer spend money on a promise. When it has Linux support, I will consider spending money. If they say it might if we reach some goal we will not tell you about, nope... Seen that lie a few too many times.
But, if most of the devices you see in the wild are poorly configured, that is a device problem. Mostly a problem with the UI, but the UI is in the device. That is why Cisco dropped the Pix. Nice device, but no one in the target market could actually drive the thing.
Sounds like a lot of your issues are the plugins on pfSense. So how about the non-plugin version, m0n0wall? Or do you need a kitchen sink with your firewall?
The funny part of all this is the reaction. No one read the part where I said I return stuff I find. Even untraceable stuff like a very nice digital SLR camera... They just read the part about the term "stealing" not being the best description...
Stealing is stealing. Finders keepers is a poor excuse for a total lack of character.
The term "stealing" sure has changed a lot lately. I thought is was actively depriving someone of wanted property. So "copying" is not "stealing." Claiming discarded items is not "stealing." Hitting you over the head and taking it out of your pocket is "stealing." That said, I would try and find the owner to give back the phone. And not doing so is kinda shitty, but it ain't "stealing."
I love statements like that. So certain of the future... But, there are a few projects now looking at fully open source ARM based systems. (for example, http://rhombus-tech.net/ ) This means all specs out there, and drivers. As they come out and get popular, the cost will fall, and more closed companies will use them as they are cheaper. As this continues, they will end up with a competitive advantage over the closed hardware, which will open, or perish. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Q's plan of changing the gravitational constant of the universe is my favorite. It has lots of potentially interesting side effects.
How to lose weight fast! Guaranteed plan. Eat our specially formulated food (along with a proper diet, exercise, and changing the gravitational constant of the universe) and you will see the pounds come off in no time!
it shouldn't be much worse than a Tunguska event and seeing how majority of the planet is uninhabited, chances are good that no major number of lifes will be lost.
If it hits the ocean, which is the majority of the planet, you can revise that estimate up a bunch from tidal waves. But I agree that we should give this more attention that "Well, it's after my term is over, so not my problem."
True, but from my admittedly distant viewpoint, it seems like the people are about ready to grab pitchforks and torches and storm the castle. That means the companies would get a lot of good press for standing up to the US. If SafeNames just says "No" for a little while and takes it public, the games changes forever.
SafeNames is a UK business, and they have amazingly good service. Yes, the US is on good terms with the UK, but after the lopsided extradition nonsense getting all the press, this might be where they decide to draw the line.
While only 13 names are used for the root nameservers, there are many more physical servers; A, C, F, G, I, J, K, L and M servers now exist in multiple locations on different continents, using anycast address announcements to provide decentralized service. As a result most of the physical root servers are now outside the United States, allowing for high performance worldwide.
The question is if the company running them us US based? RIPE (Amsterdam) is not. Nor is WIDE (Japan), or Autonomica (Sweden). Once they stop accepting updates from US DNS, things will get ugly fast.
Unfortunately, a lot of ccTLDs are actually run by US companies, within the US. It will happen, and I bet within a year, that the US will steal a domain name (Steal as in deprive the owner of the use and enjoyment of it) from another country ccTLD, and will then be surprised by the reaction.
No, because most companies don't care to do illegal activity which will cause legal action to allow for this action against their domain. And if they don't fit into that category, chances are they are already on a different domain.
This was a Canadian website doing something legal in Canada. We have turned a corner where obeying the law is no longer protection from arrest or confiscation.
If you are the least big worried about it then you need to be working for legal reform rather than the stupidity which is this article. As if you have a problem with this, you have a problem with US law. Period. So please, let's stop having the dipshit of the week post more stupidity about a symptom that largely only creates problems for criminals. And if you disagree, then go fix the legal system rather than boo-hoo about how a legal system is doing perfectly legal things with the entities its largely created, nurtured, owns, and controls - as in, is clearly within its jurisdiction.
It also creates a problem for forums, blogs, independent companies hosted at a provider that also hosts forums and blogs, file storage providers, cloud services... But you are absolutely correct in that we do need to fix the laws, and the people that believe in global projection of law to independent nations. And I say this from the US.

I live in a world where most people who find the phone would try and give it back. In my world, people like that are the exception, not the rule.
You might want to look at the "Abandoned Property" statutes. Those are the ones that say if you leave a car in my yard, after a while I can keep it.
Should you ever lose your phone, expect the same thing to happen to you.
He does. He thinks that is normal. He thinks most people are like that. Can you imaging how much it sucks to live in his world?

Ok, just for you I risked borking the site during a slashdotting and I implemented a quick fix. You're welcome :-)
Not that takes some serious stones!
First thought at your post... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6m55RoVEbY
"When the world hand you a Jeffrey, stroke the furry wall."
But the drivers will be open, and that will make it cheaper for both open and closed projects.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Raspberry-Pi-Eben-Upton-RS-Components-Premier-Farnell-Linux,14851.html I would say the popularity is not a question... A lot of people still want a small, cheap and open computer, and there is no one in that market space.
This will not happen.

These guys might not like that... http://www.parliament.uk/ But with this site they may be on to something... https://www.whitehouse.gov/
More amusingly the ssl is broken, so it comes up with the "This Connection is Untrusted" message. Truer words were never written...

Google it. Or Google Team America... It is the theme song.

Which one? Many are actually administered in the US by US companies... Doh!
