Corporations are in business because they offer a good deal for their customers. "Waste" isn't something that the customers have to worry about, but they will select the least wasteful company, since a wasteful company will soon have a less wasteful competitor.
Government, well, we have no choice. We're all their "customers" whether we want to be or not. Since there's no voting with the wallet possible, there has to be stringent oversight.
You may point out wasteful corporations that continue to survive with no competition. Pretty much always that means the government is involved with that corporation, somehow guaranteeing its existence.
How do they know a) that it's entirely vision processing that takes the extra space (the idea of there being specialized areas of the brain is coming into disrepute, I understand) and b) that that has no effect on intelligence?
No, I wasn't; hadn't heard of Upstart. Debian does have a concurrent boot system, which is now the default in squeeze, but apparently this is an area where Debian and Ubuntu are doing their own things. I withdraw my original comment!
I wouldn't say they got burned because they enabled 6to4 by default; I'd say they got burned because their desktop systems then preferred to use 6to4 over native IPv4, which they're not supposed to.
Having read the article, I remain uninformed about exactly what it is they're talking about standardizing. Also, why does a publication called "Network World" assume that I know zero about networking?
Isn't the 13 year existence of a security bug in open source code a valid argument that open source does not really mean a product is more secure?
No, it isn't. In order to reach that conclusion, you'd have to compare it against closed-source code. Do you really believe there aren't now and have never been bugs that old in the closed-source world?
I'm not sure why they hide it. The bottom of the page contains this paragraph:
We also provide tools that work in the "all rights granted" space of the public domain. Our CC0 tool allows licensors to waive all rights and place a work in the public domain, and our Public Domain Mark allows any web user to "mark" a work as being in the public domain.
No, there's one IPv6 Internet. The problem is that sometimes clients THINK they have IPv6 connectivity but they don't. Then you get long timeouts or failures. That's what this test is trying to measure.
Participation by ISPs simply means that they'll be ready to answer support questions and handle problems if they show up. It doesn't have anything to do with actually turning on IPv6. This test is more about making sure that sites can advertise both A and AAAA records without breaking things.

It was released about three months ago. I call that new.
Meanwhile, /.'s command of the English language deteriorates to new lows.

Why does Ubuntu get all the credit? Isn't this Debian's new system for running init scripts concurrently at work?
Surely any "white hat" working against malware needs to store malware someplace, right? What a dumb law.

I see many people who don't use Windows questioning why you would use PuTTY.
It isn't only "PuTTY for Windows", OpenBSD has it available as a port and also a precompiled package.
Surely the Linux crowd can package it too?
Yes, they can: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/putty
One big reason it's handy is that with it, you can generate and otherwise deal with PuTTY-formatted key files.

Remember the 2008 Rice Shortage?
No. And that tells you everything you need to know about how far we are from the food production precipice.
Hardly. Now the warmers will claim that anything that doesn't agree with their theory is a result of a solar abnormality.
Don't say "don't say retarded".
No.

Why not CC0? Why do they care to prevent that? Or is "public domain" already an option?
