This is a great example of what will happen when Republicans repeal Net Neutrality and now MSNBC owner Comcast doesn't feel comfortable letting you access your favorite alt-right website.
I would say it probably has to do more with Microsoft doing a lot of work to make ActiveX safer and browsers like Firefox and Chrome taking increasing market share. Before that Internet Explorer had such a large market share and so many easier attack vectors than Java plugins. And after constant stream of security updates Flash is probably a bit harder nut to crack than Java is.
The day you start trusting the Heritage Foundation over CBO is the day you need to admit that you are looking for an echo chamber and not unbiased data.
$5 a day would result in $550B a year revenue to the treasury, single handily eliminating the long term Federal deficit. There is absolutely nothing in the current proposal that would come even close to that.
I am glad that after all these years, the tradition of posters on slashdot not reading the article continues.:-) Even if global warming is completely bogus, I for one will gladly pay 50c a day if it means:
Fewer people dieing from black lung disease. Cleaner air. Not having to invade countries for their natural resources. Funding for new technology based solutions to our energy supply.
And finally, for those that claim cap and trades is the end of capitalism, pricing of public goods is one of the corner stones of capitalism.
There is nothing stoping you from getting the stock kernel, applying patches and releasing it on your own.
The process is relatively simple, so most people would rather preffer to get the kernel from a trusted source (Linus) and apply patches, than to download it from you.
I was talking to a vendor at my work (I won't say who they are, but you know them). They told me that they want kernel support for 64 processors. The CEO went to Linus himself, and ask him straight on to please let the official kernel have support for this. Linus replied that he wanted no such thing.
SGI can mantain the darn patch themselves. How many people would benefit from Linux having 64 CPU support? 5, 10 ? And it would add bloat to everyone else. I don't want to download 80 meg kernel. Same with NTFS Streams. How many people NEED NTFS streams? You want it, get a patch and make your own kernel. Now you have your own fork, and feel free to call it whatever you like.
kernel debugger:
Only thing Linus said it that it will not be distributed with the stock kernel. He is not stopping anyone from using it. If you want to debug Linux, go and download the darn debugger (people affected, 100 to 1000 at most).
think database servers. It has to keep transaction records which must be saved in case of (power) failure. they usually use Hard drives, but this would make it much faster.
You are absolutely clueless. UCSB is connected to the CalRen2 network by the fastest available connection in the whole area. From anywhere on University network you can get >1Mbyte/sec transfer speeds. If you are talking about Residental Network (ResNet), you can blame school for providing only 10 Mbits/sec connection to bunch of porn downloaders for free. I am on the Resnet, and if it too slow for you feel free to get a Cable modem or DSL. Please do research before you post next time.
The attack did not come from a student computer on UCSB Residential Network as far as I know. From what I've heard it was one of the UNIX boxes (either Solaris or HP/UX) in ECI lab. NFS was compromised.
I am a UCSB student. In my opinion, the administrator responsible for this security breach on a University owned machine, should apologize not only to the businesses attacked, but also to the University and its students for making us all look like helpless newbies. If this person is unable or unwilling to installed pre made patches on the University owned machines on University's network, he might not be the best one for the job. I also blame the IT suits, whose unwillingness to let select students take part in the network administration and maintenance, partially caused this very embarrassing situation. Thanks for thinking that it's better to hire incompetent, and/or lazy systems admins, than to let the students who use these machines the most take care of them.
And Kevin Schmidt, the great hero, who enjoys sniffing traffic and scanning student computers a bit too much, however unethical that is, claims that hackers were untrained. They might be script kiddies, but they broke into University computers twice, and probably filled at least 100 Mbits/sec of our OC15 backbone for hours before they got stopped. Maybe you system administrators are untrained?
This whole thing makes _ME_ look bad too, and yes, I am pissed.
You are correct, but only since the last week, and only in California (that I know of).

Judge Bans Indefinite Jailing by INS
A U.S. District Court judge in Los Angeles has ruled that the federal government may not indefinitely jail noncitizens who have been ordered deported because of crimes, but whose home countries will not take them back.
Red Hat is generally considered least secure distribution of Linux available because of the default configuration which runs all kinds of servers after boot-up, not because of their security updates. They are usually the first Linux distibution to release updates after a security problem arises.
Pc tech makes probaby the worst mainboards in the world. I got one of these boards 2 years ago (pentium class for $100), it had cache issues, and when I tried upgrading the bios, motherboard's flash rom got corrupted because flash upgrade on ftp was corrupted. They didn't even bother to zip it. I think AOL cds are too good for these boards. There are tons of better mobo makers (Abit, Aopen, even FIC) and I don't like idea that PC Tech got the call.
Now we all know that ST: Voyager sucked before Ms. Ryan joined the show. She might not be the best actress, but she has to be better than Kate M. . Captain has that grandma act, which belongs to a cooking show and not a sci-fi show. Voyager has maybe 2 cool characters one being Nelix and other the doctor person, everyone else is pretty weak. Now lets not blame the good-looking chick, because we all know that one of main selling points of original ST was adventure (with good looking honeys in lots of cases)
Knowing that you are (deeply) involved with this project, I was wondering how well it is doing? What percentage of Windows OpenGL speed are you able to get in Quake 3a? Any work on Matrox GLX and DRI for XFree86?

This might be the only time when it is worth it using Windows Phone. No one ever develops apps for that.
For $12.5B you get:
$3.2 in cash
$2.35 billion from Motorola Home sale
$1B billion in real estate
some deferred tax assets.
patents
Looks like a far better deal than Apple and Microsoft got for $4.5 billion in Nortel patent purchase.

Your data does not include the fast that the USA also has a ridiculous number of corporate tax deductions.
Average company in S&P 500 had tax rate of 26% between 2002 and 2006, probably the lowest in developed world.

Well, as long it doesn't run win98 I am cool.
