Plus, it would re-enable old jailbreaks that were fixed in the later versions.
Short version, "We are going to make things difficult because we do not want you to have root on your own computer." Well fuck that! The easily rooted Chinese Android looks better every day!
Nobody wants the not-so-cool job of actually maintaining it over the long-term, writing documentation for it, supporting it, etc.
This right here! You want to learn a new bit of software and get the attention of the dev team? While learning, write new user documentation. You will have the dev team's full and undivided attention! I know a lot of project leads that started by writing documentation for another project.
I have seen submissions written on company time at the company request because it fixed something for them. And once accepted, it was now supported.:) They like that!
Well, I used m0n0wall in my work. So when it folded, I needed a replacement, and forked http://www.smallwall.org/ which I maintain with a lot of help.:) In other words, I also make some money on it with clients.
Of course, now the space is flooded with quite nice llama ass whippers. At the time it was in a field by itself, but now... Mostly just memories and name recognition left.
Unread email is treated differently under the law, and currently any email that is six months old or older and marked as unread can be opened and read by federal agencies without a warrant.
And how do they get to it without a warrant? My server is behind locked doors, and I have the keys...
Convenience... Reinstalling an updating Windows can take over a day. The Dell Decrapifier (Old name) takes a few minutes. And it is trusted software these days.
The success of the ransomware ends up benefitting victims: because so many people pay, the malware authors are less inclined to wring excess profit out of any single victim, keeping ransoms low.
Gotta love the "logic" that went into that statement.
Remember kids, paying the ransom is a lot cheaper than investing in security... as long as everyone else is also paying the Danegeld.
It is true... They will not want to kill the goose as long as it keeps laying golden eggs. But you really do not want to be the last "Goose" that takes good backups...
M0n0wall was shut down when Manual decided that he wanted a life again.:) SmallWall is a continuation of the M0n0wall code base. pfSense was a fork that went with pf and a plugin architecture to allow expandability, while M0n0wall and SmallWall want to remain more focused.
And while it is small and lean, it have the enterprise firewall features you would expect like VPN support.
TFA tells about intercepting HTTPS. How does a modem-router flaw allow that, since HTTPS is an end to end protection?
It allows you to capture the encrypted packets.:) Of course, some of that encryption is trivially easy to crack, but not all. Shhh... Your are spoiling the article.

The problem is that Apple does no allow you to un-fuck your phone when you find out the update is unusable.

In previous versions of the OS, you could turn off this automatic update behaviour, but this no longer appears to be an option in iOS 9.
A good reason to sue right there...

Meat popsicle...
So, you are saying to use that 8% to rebuild Healthcare.gov?
So what? WinAmp was great at the dawn of the MP3 era, but it's caveman primitive by today's standards.
Reviving WinAmp at this late stage is completely pointless, in my mind.
So it just will not be right until it has a new flat interface design? I think you need to read the UI/UIX thread. http://news.slashdot.org/story...

Every time I see a "hack" (rollseyes) like this, I translate it to 'Ohh, Look At Me! I am pissing on the couch!"
If you maintain it on your own you can fight it if you want.
Actually, in these cases, they don't try. They naver want people to know when they are data trolling them.
Leave it to Microsoft to fuck up a universal standard that is 20 years old. So did Google, but at least gmail works, even if it does work weirdly...

No but the PC Decrapifier will... https://www.pcdecrapifier.com/
That and the market power if he decided to dump them all at once.
Let's do those crimes! Let's get some sushi and not pay!
There is something to be said for some regulation, however. This is from having seen the unregulated "Black Taxis" of South Africa...
I am sure the report was totally unbiased...

Actually, yes you do. And it is more professional then a lot of software companies.
