Zero-Day does not mean the day the bug was released. It means that it is a bug that is being exploited in the wild before a patch can be released. It doesn't matter when the bug was first coded. Compare that to a theoretical bug discovered by researchers that COULD be exploited, but isn't yet.
I normally wouldn't respond to an AC seemingly obvious misconception, but the fact that he was modded up means that people with mod points apparently don't have a clue, either...
X is going through some pretty good growing pains now, removing a lot of the required configuration settings and autodetecting things. And KDE/Gnome really aren't that bad.
And if your mother can't deal with the choices, why didn't you just make one for her? Seriously... the whole POINT of Linux is that it gives you choice. If you don't want choice, pay for Apple.
Ubuntu may not do any one thing better, but the overall end-user experience is much better with Ubuntu than with any other desktop distro I've tried lately. There's something to be said about streamlining existing work. Just because they don't contribute a ton of actual code doesn't mean they aren't contributing anything. Of course, it's only typical that a programmer thinks that if you aren't writing code, you can't be doing anything useful...
Sorry if I didn't make it clear... I knew that, but the mercury argument was the only one that could even be partially made with a straight face that they were toxic, so I had to recognize that.
The only reason her kids are healthy an unvaccinated are because everyone else IS vaccinated. She is an idiot, as is everyone working with her. Especially since she claims vaccines are "toxic". They haven't been since 2001 or so when they phased out mercury in all vaccines. Evolution and nature are not magic. They don't make "perfect" things. They make "good enough" things. If evolution were perfect, we would be able to see in the dark as well as cats, and wouldn't get sunburned or cancer.
They don't want to help laid-off workers, though. They say they do, but what they really want is to entrench themselves into the minds of "technologists" so that they have a viable business through the downturn of the economy.
Problem is that people are starting to realize you don't have to pay for a lot of good software, and in a down economy that's very important, more important than what's familiar. When someones time to learn Linux starts costing less than the Microsoft stuff they're used to, we'll start seeing a lot of movement to free software.
It doesn't matter. It's public record, and the litigous bastards at Jones Day got upset at Blockshopper simply posting public info on their site. And they sued them by filing an abusive lawsuit with a completely unrelated law, nothing actually connected with what they were upset about. That's what the bullshit is.
Really? You think they're a bunch of litigous bastards? I wouldn't say that... maybe just a bunch of assholes with too much clout in the legal system, and not enough in the real world.
Exactly. Those are the kinds of artifacts you get when you merge low quality data with high quality data... I'd bet that the low quality is showing the "lines" where the high-quality data doesn't scan, the high quality shows it at the slightly higher, flat areas. Perhaps just an offset problem with the high quality data.
You can still drink with parental supervision in many states if you're 18 and at home. Any younger and they claim it's "endangering a child" or some other such bullshit.
The Amish don't have to put reflectors on unless they want to use publicly maintained roads. My home network is my responsibility to maintain. The government has no say in what I do inside my own home on things like that.
You're thinking small... you're keeping logs, YOU can hack your logs. Do some scans driving around Capitol Hill, snag some MAC addresses, insert them into your logs. Hell, go to child porn sites and replace your MAC address with the ones you found. Seriously... what good are logs? There's no way to trust them if they come from somebody who's both competent and malicious.
I just reinstalled Starcraft a few months ago, and the latest Blizzard patch removes the CD check. So they're now officially allowing you to install it on all your machines. Makes it much nicer than having to have a CD ISO mounted through loopback (or daemon tools, if you play it in Windows).
Keeping repeating that the sky is blood red does not make it so. I never said it was right, I never said that it should be, I simply said that it was. I said "de facto" because it is simply the term that best describes the situation. It is slowly changing with the increase in usage of Firefox, Opera, Safari and so on, but the fact remains that MANY sites currently built are designed specifically for IE. Hell, I was just earlier today looking for an expansion pack for the "Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot" (great card game) and found that their online site doesn't render properly in anything but IE. If that's not "de facto", I don't know what is.
IE7 doesn't measure up to w3c standards, but it's a de facto "standard" nontheless. People wrote lots of websites to deal with the way IE7 renders pages.

Nice. Webkit is based on KHTML, and there's no way to get a Linux build. Thanks for all your help, Apple!

pour is not a synonym for pore.
Homonyms are fun, kids!
Naah, he jokes. It's just that some people have misfiring humor neurons and think that it's a troll instead.
When your business is based almost entirely on reputation, there is such a thing as bad publicity.

I'm not saying it's a good state of affairs. It was simply an observation of the inertia working against moving the web to proper standards.
Everyone with a network connection has a MAC. Or did you mean Mac? It's not an acronym, damnit, it's an abbreviation!
I like that... "G.R.O.W. up... use a real operating system!"

It's like a Windows beta, except it eventually starts working right.
Naah, it's a nut.
If it's so bad, why do you know it so well?
