Since Linus decided security holes and bugs are not any different then a bug that causes your screen to refresh a microsecond slower. They list everything as bug fixes and don't differentiate on the potential severity of the bug.
If it is not useful to yourself or anyone you know don't just throw it away, find a local electronic recycling depot. In some places that can be hard, but at least if you have a Best Buy near you they will take it.
First, there are no journalists here, this is a news aggregator.
Second, This is a topic that has come up more then once on Slashdot, it does not need a blurb about what we are talking about every damn time.
Third, this is supposed to be a site catering to those who are at least a little bit capable, you should not need your hand held through everything. If there is something you don't understand, look it up yourself.
There are several AV products that can be slipstreamed into it, and there are instructions on installing the Ultimate Boot CD onto a thumbdrive, which is handy for keeping AV signatures up to date.
Yes, but you see you miss the point of the OP. Gates is writing this letter because he is trying to spread the fear that some poor country will create a method of cheap, renewable energy without having to buy it from the US, or more preferably a company that directly profits him.
This isn't altruism, he's not doing it for humanities good. He's not just saying it's a good investment or trying to motivate people into researching alternatives to oil. It's the same business practices as before, scare the government into funding you.
I remember when you couldn't use a calculator until you understood what you were doing on paper. Even then, show your work questions sort of kept it so that you needed to know what you were doing.
I suppose with QuickTime X ability to record the screen they can show their work, if you can call mindlessly punching keys work.
On the other hand one could make a lateral move. Linux is more like XP in feel than even Win 7
What a great idea, why have the possibility of some software incompatibilities when you can have a guarantee of complete software incompatibilities! If a company does not want to move to Windows 7 because XP is working exactly the way they want it to, what type of head injury are you planning to inflict on them to make moving to something completely different sound like a good idea.
It is going to be a while before software drops XP as a supported platform, other then games, many platforms still list 2000 in their minimum. XP is being maintained (security updates) until past the end of the world (2014), why would you need to migrate from it to anything else if it is still doing everything you need?
As long as you expect PHP and the majority of code written in it to be insecure, you're expectations will be met. We call this setting your expectations appropriately. If you expect security from PHP, well, you need to learn to set your expectations appropriately.
They want a more open process, at least by the e-mail linked. Why is this anything to whine about? I find the request that the OSI attempts to deter the use of the license by others to be somewhat odd though.

You're not cleared for that citizen.

Google too difficult for you?
Hilariously.

There's a pretty heavy recession going on, there wasn't one when Bill was at MS. I wonder if these two points are related.
Apple has never done well with its 'IT' offerings. They don't seem to know how to do it, I don't think they care.
They are suing Oracle because Oracle gave someone else a better price?
The Mini was always aimed at people who already had a screen and keyboard.

You're one of those people, STFU.

There are Enterprise Linux distributions that are both supported and still run 2.4, though not for much longer. Not everyone runs Ubuntu.
It got pushed off until later when the decision to integrate streaming replication in this release was made.

I wouldn't say that Perl or Python suffer from what PHP suffers from.

Ya, well you probably still think digital watches are a neat idea.
I guess shouting at systems to make them start working has the opposite effect. Who knew a server was so emotional.
I believe the answer is C.
The answer is always C.
I kinda like the design.
Canadians slow everything down.
