You don't have to have liked him, but you could have at least shown some respect rather than making the GNU (And by association, Linux, even though we hate you) community look like tools, instead of just yourself as you usually do.
Well actually they do. If Samsung are blocked by Apple from selling their products, and Apple are blocked by Samsung from selling their products as well, that will force them to make a patent settlement to get them out of a stalemate that hurts both companies.
Sammy has taken off the gloves and has taken out the big guns... WCDMA patents. They could have gone after basically every 3G device there is (if they were assholes) but have used them very strategically to stick it to Apple, while actually gaining popular support for using a broad patent in their arsenal.
Not censorship, that legislation won't float. Besides, the goverment is too cunning for that....... the hidden price tag is 38 thousand million taxpayer dollars + your first born's future. Mwhahahahahahahaha
So my "move to Canada" fund needs to be adjusted to "move to Australia". Do they have trailer parks in Australia?
Yes, but Trailer Parks or "Caravan Parks" as they are more well known as do not have the negative connotations that the US counterparts do. They are usually more temporary in nature - more like a holiday resort where you bring your own cabin, although I'm sure there are plenty of long term tenants too. Getting hooked into the NBN might be a bit of a problem, NBN is a fixed-line service, so they will probably not hook it up right to your Caravan, but hook it up to the park's buildings instead.
It would then be shared (probably with a cheap router that wont make the distance right to your Caravan) with all of the residents who will have all their torrent clients competing for bandwidth (not to mention that the park owner would probably opt to be 'shaped' after the download quota is sucked dry in less that 10 seconds at the start of each month thanks to the speed of that fibre optic goodness).
Not to mention that there are only 5 sites in the entire country live at the moment (although I'm sure by the time you save up enough money to live in Australia it will be fully operational, due to the high living cost compared to the US, it will take a long time to save). It is not as easy as crossing the border into Canada with your own trailer - It costs a lot to ship a large item literally have way around the globe.
By all means come to Australia, it is fantastic. But if you want to tour around, NBN is not your best bet (LTE/wifi Hotspots might be however), and if you want cheap accommodation with fast Internet, Caravan parks are not your best bet either.
It doesn't matter how quickly Adobe push out security updates, their updater is ineffective because it has too many manual steps, when it should be able to be completely automated like Windows Update is.
Most users that I have seen simply click "Cancel" every time they start up their computer and the updater comes up, because they don't know what it is, and have been tought not to install software that they don't know.
It is not supported by custom firmware, but sure is a solid router. It has an 802.11n Access Point, Gigabit switch and ADSL2+ modem (but you can use any WAN connection using an 10/100/1000 ethernet port as well).
It's Gigabit switch gives the best performance I could find, for consumer grade equipment.
It has a feature called "E-WAN", allowing you to use one of the ethernet ports for a WAN connection instead of a LAN connection, instead of using the built-in ADSL2+ modem (you can also set it up as a fall-back).
What I really like about these routers is that Billion provides stock firmware that gives you most of the features that you would expect to find in a custom firmware (including VLANs and IPv6), and even better is that they push out regular firmware updates to add more and more features all the time.
If you want something to play with, hack with, and get your hands dirty with embedded Linux - Get something that supports a Custom Linux Firmware. Custom Linux Firmware is not bad by any means (Usually it is poor underlying hardware that leads to instability), and it is a great learning experience that has given me a lot of knowledge.
If you want something to give you a solid internet connection, solid Gigabit LAN performance, and lots of features that you wouldn't usually expect from a stock firmware - get the 7800N.
The Earth surrounded by Oxygen gas (and other gases) in the atmosphere, the only difference to us is that our eyes have evolved to see through the wavelength of oxygen making it appear 'invisible', but from the hypothetical alien point of view, an alien looking at earth might not have the eyes to see through the Oxygen and it would look like any other gassy planet from their perspective.
Maybe the technology can be developed to look through the gasses of other planets to see inside in the same way we can see though oxygen.
Sorry if there are any scientific errors in my theory, I'm not an expert, but unlike most the other posters on Slashdot, I don't even pretend to be one.
It must be traumatic to feel like there is a Bear in your mind (Assuming it is the grizzly kind, not the furry friendly kind), I wonder how the author can bare it?

If only it was true, and Visual FoxPro (Not necessarily the IDE) should also be open sourced, since MS are eager to stop supporting it on newer platforms, and open-source developers can keep it running for them.
I might have missed some good answers if they hadn't been modded up enough.
This malware is genuine problem regardless of it's technical implementation of it's use/non-use of system/browser expliots.
The social engineering side of things is enough to convince a non-technical user to run through the installer (including providing the password), which is run when the Safari automatically unzips the Malware and automatically runs the installer (or it is Manually run with other browsers).
At the end of the day, infections are occurring, Apple is selfishly trying to wipe it's hands clean even though they have been toting that Macs don't get Malware for years (even if this is not published online in these words, this is exactly what the Reps are saying), and honestly I didn't expect any better from this snobby company.
We need a real solution here to protect the illiterate users that have Macs (which is quite a large userbase because they were sold Macs on the basis that they are easy to use and don't get Malware).
Which Antivirus products on the Mac work in preventing these piece of Malware from installing? How much do they cost? Are there any browser-based plugins that stop this toolkit before it loads the Malicious web page? Is turning off "Open 'safe' files after downloading" in Safari really the most effective method of lessoning the threat?
Does this undo any precedents already set in this case that assumes that they did have full rights to the copyright, or do they still stand for any future cases like this?

OK my mistake, I am actually wrong about this. My apologies to the author.

There are plenty of vulnerabilities found that do not need scripts, lets not make NoScript out to be more than what it is.

Brilliant, now Apple can stick it up their arse since they certainly ain't going to get any for production.

Well I think that it's ironic, considering that Zynga steal from everyone else.
They probably "almost certainly" did, but the NYT article is still just speculation. The haven't confirmed anything.
