Legit AV doesn't use rootkit techniques. You may have been doing it for years, but that doesn't mean you're good at it or know what you're talking about.
No legit AV software doesn't support uninstalling it. Again, you don't know what you're talking about.
And this is why Steam is going to have a fuckton of issues on Linux. Users who decide to go do things themselves instead of using the built in features.
You really should tell Steam to clear its local files, not randomly decide which files to delete yourself.
Linux users are over-represented because they intentionally pay more to make themselves look important in the hope of gaining some support. Even though they are 'paying more' they are paying no where near what those games are worth when sold originally for Windows, everyone is paying less that could be had.
Linux users forget to change the OS? I don't think so, no fanboy is missing the opportunity to prove their OS is better.
The entire rest of the world would seem to disagree with you.
Most 'gamers' use fixed hardware known as a 'console'.
OSX beats the ever living shit out of game sales compared to Linux.
The niche of forums you talk to people on gives you a REALLY skewed version of the world.
The rest of the world doesnt' think like slashdot, they are what I like to refer to as 'balanced'.
The only place where your statements hold true is in small communities like slashdotters, and while slashdot has a fair number of followers, on the global scale, its still tiny.
Then your users are rather stupid and don't know the value of NOT giving out their phone number to people who can call them at any time.
If you are a friend, you call my phone. If you are work related, you call my office, which probably gets directed to my phone but you never call my phone directly.
Companies who allow their employees to use their own personal numbers are allowing their employees to take customers with them out the door. Its a really retarded idea. I suspect those companies won't stay around for long since its unlikely to be their only retarded idea.
Perhaps he's not the one with problems, maybe its you.
You clearly don't have any issues telling the world who you are, and that you think your son needs to see a shrink.
While its possible he may have issue, I'd be more willing to be his parents are the ones with issues since you don't even have the common sense not to advertise that fact on a public website.
Why is it that slashdot is head over heals to claim gun control laws are needed but no way in hell do violent video games that use guns to mimic killing people could be at fault as well?
Lets be clear, I'm in the 'you'll have to pry my guns AND video games from my cold dead hands' camp, but I find it amusing that the site in general is against something that most of its users have little or no experience with and all for something they do on a regular basis.
If Google allows anyone to use a self signed cert than any self signed cert can be used to MITM a connection, even if the real server uses a real certificate.
Thats the problem.
And no, it isn't Google's problem to build extra infrastructure JUST because your cheap, lazy ass thinks you should be able to upload your own thumbprint of your own cert.
Very true... so all 8 people that use the gmail interface to check OTHER pop3 servers are possibly going to notice it. The 4 people who run their own mail servers and are too cheap to get a CA cert are just SOL.
Obviously I exaggerate, but really, the number of people this effects is statistically irrelevant to Google.
You may argue, and more qualified than you may argue, but that doesn't mean they are qualified. A self signed cert is useless other than testing. Anyone can walk right through it.
You would argue it because you don't understand that snake oil doesn't actually accomplish anything other than fooling fools into believing they are secure when they aren't. Thats worse than making people aware of the fact that they aren't secure, in which case they can consider their behavior and curtail it appropriately.
People who actually understand security know that a false sense of security (i.e. any self signed cert) is a bad move and results in lower security since silly people who don't understand what they are doing think they are secure when they aren't.
Nothing, google is happy to have you do the exact same thing.
How many 'hacks' of real CA's have occurred? A couple? I'm not talking about the retarded low cost/practically free/requires no effort at all to get a cert CAs as those are as much of the problem as anything.
The only 'users' it effects are ones that use Gmail's web interface to check SOMEONE ELSES POP3 server.
So basically it effects so few people that it doesn't even matter. This situation is SO rare, you don't even understand whats being done.
RMS won't be happy until the entire planet lives in hippie communes. You can't satisfy a person like that. His 'goals' are just a political agenda and a way to get people to pay attention to him. He is an ego whore, everything else is a side effect. Some of those side effects are good, most aren't.
Yes, having money to pay the bills is something to be proud of.
Contrary to popular belief, never has a hippie commune contributed much to the world. Mostly because they end up with 3 people who contribute and 30k who leech.
What if no one paid for whatever product you are involved in selling and you had no job, how would that work out for you?
Why are you people so incredible dense when it comes to making money?
And only fanboys worship any of those people, all of which are douchebags and have contributed far far less than they are given credit for.
None of them made what they are known for alone, most of them didn't even do the majority of the work. Fanboy's just tend to ignore the fact that other people made what they attribute to their heros.
Actually I'm guessing someone on the M$ board called up someone on the Dell board and informed them they're now going to now assume the position or pay the price, and keep paying. Dell blinked and
Not likely.
That phone call would result in Dell hanging up the phone and calling the DoJ since that is the EXACT sort of behavior that got them in trouble before.

No, if they want to develop for the SteamBox it will include a Valve tax, just like they already have on Steam.
Why the fuck do you have this retarded idea that Valve would do a bunch of work and then not take a cut?
It means the person writing it doesnt understand either OpenGL or DirectX and doesn't know what he's talking about.
He doesn't understand what roll a drive plays in the process.

POTS only loses money on paper because they write the paper in such a way that it appears to be losing money.
Saying POTS services are 'losing money' is roughly the same as saying 'The LOTR trilogy was unprofitable for everyone involved.'
Both are flat out lies.
The market isn't free. Its government granted monopoly that makes it so the ISPs can pull this off.
If they weren't granted the monopoly rights by legislation, they couldn't get by with ripping people off because they'd have competition.
Again, the ISP world isn't 'Free Market' in America. Regulation created the problem as it exists.
If you're too stupid to know how to find the pics online, you don't deserve to see them.

You know with the exception of actual mental illness, pretty much all of those other things are the result of bad parenting.

Not just those people using self signed certs.

Yea, and what clients don't have that CA already in their chain?

Extend your utterly stupid (look up the dictionary definition) thought pattern to your own job.
How are you going to eat if your job was 'community' based?
Don't be such an idiot, or you just might get what you wish for.
Technically, the project started in 2006. Its Duke Nukem Forever behind schedule.
