    No, it should mean whatever the Linus decides it means. It is his to do with as he likes. If you want you can fork Linux into Bluenix and use your version numbers.

    Oh well, too bad for them. They could use google I guess. If they are so uninterested in the world around them that is the price they pay.

    Spending a crazy low taxes, one or the other folks. At this point we need to cut spending and when our economy is in decent shape raise taxes to get debt down.

    Our problem was we spent and spent while cutting taxes and did not save up for the rainy days ahead.

    I already stated I would not pay to watch advertisements, so why in the hell do you think I would have cable?

    There are quite a lot of people who value their time and money less than I do.

    I don't hate anyone, I dislike people who work against folks I do like though. I don't like it when people idolize those who work against them either. "Trust, but verify" just makes no sense. "Never trust, always verify" at least makes good sense.

  12. Re:Trust what? on Trust Is For Suckers: Lessons From the RSA Breach · · Score: 1

    1 and 3 are contradictory, but close approximations can be made that are not.

    The data could have been kept not connected to any computer networks and possibly even stored on tapes in some secure location so #3 could easily be done. Then you just need to make sure no one breaks into the location you store those tapes in. That is what they like to call a solved problem, with cost going up as you add security.

    Trust but verify, means don't trust otherwise you would not have to verify. Non-thinking people like the phrase because their idol said it. Why middle class folks idolize someone who sold out the middle class I do not understand.

    Same boat here. I wonder what the wait will be for those that don't have cable. I will not pay for that until it drops the advertising either.

  16. Re:Nothing of value lost on Hulu For Sale: Is There Good News For Users? · · Score: 2

    There is nothing preventing you from hooking an HDMI cable from your computer to your TV. Sure you might have to run it through a wall, but you can do it or pay less than a couple hundred to have someone do it.

    I laugh when hulu says that this is not available on TVs, since I always see that on my TV which as it is just being used as a monitor for my ps3 and PC.

    I would pay for hulu plus, if it dropped ads. I would also pay for cable if it dropped ads. At this point I will just stick with netflix and not paying for cable nor hulu.

    Clicker.com, awesome way to find what you want legally.

    If hulu is gone, I might just have to get burn notice and fringe on DVD instead. Not a huge loss there. I would pay for it if it was ad free, but I will not pay to watch advertisements.

    The last mac book ppc, huge screen, maybe the battery is user replaceable I did not look. When I see an Apple product I immediately think "Sealed useless when breaks".
