Well... yeah. Problem? I see a problem when associations with money call the shots over elected officials, and bust down a kid's door using the local cops (who have NO BUSINESS being corporate mercenaries) because his ip (which is probably a shared public-facing ip) with guns drawn, completely by-passing due process, a supposedly guaranteed constitutional right. Yeah, I see a serious problem. I will now allow you to retort.
I'm face palming now 'cause omg-config most certainly part of the installation procedure for apps..pc files? Hello? As for the rest of your post, being pedantic about a honey pot doesn't further your argument, and I don't think I was off the mark anyway. The rest of your shit...? Oooh, your a pagan... is that the sign that I'm supposed to take you seriously? Shillin' for Microsoft... they're recruiting from you freaks now eh?
Microsoft solved this (partially) using a centralized registry...
Um, the MS registry is a huge pain in the butt for developers and M$ knows it, but they can't get rid of it becuase its too ingrained. Getting rid of the registry was a huge selling point for Windows 8, as it was for Vista... and so on. I dare you to ask me why... if you don't realize its a huge honey pot for virii and hackers you have no business even asking. Linux DOES INDEED have a system for library control, its called pkg_config and it works very well. Its not my problem if developers are too lazy to use it. 90% of linux apps I've ever envountered use it, so don't come whining to me there's no soluton this lib hell of which you speak. I do quite well with Linux, thank you.
Quite frankly, disk space is cheap. If this eats another 10 gigabytes of hard drive space over the traditional approach, I personally wouldn't even notice.
Might as well use Windows with that philosophy. The big difference with Linux is its efficiency. Get rid of that, might as well get rid of linux.
In a world where a DEMOCRATIC president declared some banks are too big to fail and used tax payer money to prop up failing institutions insuring the rich's stranglehold on money and a rejection of any hope for the productive poor to better themselves through decent, affordable loans, no prosecutors will be sent to jail for miscinduct. They are too useful to the institutions.
I never was an AMD person because my coding just was happier on Intel products.
Unless you were doing APC work, distributed or symetrical processing, or creating fancy bulk data moves with gpu's, or some really farout math, you shouldn't have noticed a whole lot of difference between the two platforms. How was your code "happier" on Intel? It would have been really happy to run on AMD if you ever ran into Intel's "divide by zero" bug in the mid 90's.
On the other side, you have some 600,000 shitty South Korean soldiers who would probably drop their guns and run at the first sign of attack...
Oh, I didn't see this "comment". You are DEAD WRONG. 1) They aren't shitty. 2) They are all fully cognizant of the fact that they are there to defend their country. I've met a few of these men (spent time in Asia, including S. Korea), do not confuse S. Korea with the S. Vietnam of the 60's. Seoul is not the Saigon of the Vietnam era, rife with graft & corruption, and petty dictators propped up by a paranoid Lyndon Johnson. S. Korea is a modern society with a petty but dangerous neighbor to the north, and is fully prepared to defend itself. They have to, the have no where else to go. Your opinion is petty and uneducated bias.
No regrets, yet I wouldn't want to be him. Still, he's got balls of steel, I'll give him that. But, no. I'll do without the drug dealing, the murder, the running, the acting like a lunitic, even if it is a fascinating life. He kind of makes it sound like he happened into the AV business. Right place, right time, no business plan? It happens. *mind blown*
...China is not trying to actively harm America, but rather to upgrade its technology by cheating...
China mowed down 2000 of its own students during Tienamen Square protests for free speech. They've also occupied Tibet since 1959, claiming a 1000 year-old country is a runaway province. They continually threaten Taiwan with invasion and strong-arm Japanese fishing boats all the time claiming they are fishing in Chinese waters, and are arguing with Japan now about some uninhabited islands Japan has administered for 1500 years. And they aren't trying to harm anyone? Good luck with that.
unless the U.S. has access to the entire world's internet traffic plus all communications globally including mobile phones...
Stop being an idiot. I set up a simple OpenBSD name server back in the mid 2000's, about 2008 I noticed an unusual amount of acitivity on it. It had been attacked and comprimised, and whomever did the attacking had re-purposed it to do name serving to asian servers. I easily tracked the trail back to China. Its not fucking rocket science, and secured in my mind that if the Chinese were willing to attack a small name server in a dusty corner they'll certainly attack US Gov. servers. Stop being an apologist for the Chinese you shill.
Especially when the US engages in wholesale spying on EVERYONE. Looking back in history we had the U2, SR71, secret spy sats, etc...
The planes you mention (both) were specifially developed for spying on the Soviet Union during the cold war. If you want me to believe the Soviets were innocent bystanders during that period I have a bridge I would LOVE to sell you.

I hope he does well with the new site.
The thousands of "subjects" who call for the dissolvement of the royals as they are a drain on the economy will disagree.
Again, not if you're needing an embedded system.
Yeah, not too sure how Ubuntu entered into the mix. Not by me. So, burn on, straw man.
female who's a pagan. *facepalm*
, I'd rather have more features, higher quality and better performance than lower resource usage.
Well, that's you. Fortunately Linux serves the embedded crowd as well where resource efficiency is highly prized. Score another for Linux.

There is a good reason that I do not own a safe deposit box.
IF your bank fails. Obama has seen to it that they won't (to the detriment of us all, oh well), so I'll be keeping my box for a bit longer I think.

France: "In WWII, we lose! In Algeria, we lose! In Dien Bien Phu, we lose! But on the internet, we don't lose!"
Yes. Sorry gi, but you were a hostage.
Would Tibet be better, or worse off without China and why (curious, not that i have an opinion).
Bravo, you just invalidated all of your previous points regarding my reply. Have a nice, blind, life.
Would kind of remove the reason to use windows 8, wouldn't it? If you do buy a new PC, see if you can get it with a blank drive and install windows 7.
