Sometimes I get a feeling saying that people spend too much time thinking about security in the OSS world. Security is important, but as mentioned earlier, has a system's security for example ever been compromised because of insecure random number generation?
It's just like the VPN softwares around. Take for example IPsec/FreeSWAN and OpenVPN. OpenVPN offers great security using SSL and TLS. Both those protocols are in the present time considered secure and it's fairly simple to setup.
IPsec on the other hand, takes the concept of security to a whole new level. This affects the overall software, turning it into a pain to set up and understand. And in order to make full use of the security you have to understand how it works.
I bet many security issues arises out of misconfiguration due to unnecessary complexity in the software. Keep it simple stupid is the way to go.
My point is: isn't secure security enough? Does it have to be better?
I am sorry, my mistake, if I had RTFA I would have noticed that it actually is very well translated:
From Afrikaans to Zulu, Mozilla has been translated to over 50 languages since the release of Mozilla 1.0 and offers the most extensive international features.
In my opinion, there's an urgent need for translations of the Mozilla applications suites. That would make the success even greater, as many people in non-english speaking countries feel discouraged to use software in a foreign language.
The time when Internet was a free place is soon over. In a not so distant future we'll notice how the Internet is being controlled by companies and governments, restricted by rules.
This is my belief, and I'm fairly sure it's true. It's comprehensible that a more restrictive net is required though. This total freedom has its drawbacks. Right now, just anybody can run their own Internet server serving any content they like. That's good for some, bad for others.
This is good because we'll get to see what's really going on behind those closed doors of Microsoft. An American company gets inspected by a foreign country.
Imagine the temperature difference in server rooms these will bring. As all of you know, heat is a big problem, and it costs lots of money to keep the temperature down. Or am I wrong? Actually how hot do these get?

It's interesting to see how Apple even puts a lot of effort in designing the inside of their computers. I love that.
...the guy sell those LCD's and buy a real window for the money.

How long will we have to wait for GTK 2.4.0 to be available in Debian unstable/testing?
Looks like the site is down due to slashdotting already. Is it mirrored somewhere?
