Neither of these things actually exist, they're both still linked by a central authority.
-HTTPS/SSL -Distributed certificate authority
Distributed certificate authority... do you know what mutual exclusion is? You can't have a distributed certificate authority.
-Tor
Isn't nearly as useful as you think it is, all you need to do is spend a few hours mapping the tor network with some automated software and you've taken a massive amount of its usefulness away, at best, its as useful as non-logging open proxies, but thinking that its any more useful is sily.
-SSH
Okay, so I can't see your traffic on the network, until you slip up and I get enough of your data or the hosts data to pull off a MITM attack. Granted, its going to require me to access some info that you are at least in theory putting a good effort into protecting, but I doubt theory is reality. In your particular case I'm positive that you'll slip up based on your previous comments showing your lack of understanding. This isn't unique to you, its fairly common, and fortunately SSH was designed very well and makes up for a LOT of human short falls. I'm not saying someone will break SSH, but they will take advantage of the stupid human on the end of the connection making a mistake, the end result is the same.
-Bitcoin -Free and open
So now I guess you're just throwing random buzzwords you've heard out there? Bitcoin? Seriously? Do you live in a box and this is the first hour you've been out of it in several years? Monopoly money is literally more valuable and harder to counterfeit. The only place bitcoin has any value is among complete and total idiots.
'free and open'... again... seriously? This is why you fail. You're allowing a silly political agenda (thats not even yours, you're just a ME TOO) play a part in how you design a system? Its a safe bet your systems will always fail.
For the real men among us, yes, IRC is where the real shit happens.
Lets face it, 'anon' is a bunch of douche bag script kiddies.
I wouldn't be suprised if there are 2-8 people on IRC that actually are 'anonymous', and use the other bunch of 15 year old script kiddies to do their bidding while remaining safe and legally innocent in the background.

I don't know any rational person anywhere in the country that lives in fear of being mugged.
I know a few idiots that much like you are too stupid to realize that the 'news' isn't reality. Interestingly, you live in a country where (I've been there, have you been here?) where women live in constant fear simply because the men believe they are superior to women and that women are basically there to serve men.
I might be safe in your country, my wife on the other hand is liable to be stoned for making the wrong comment or wearing the wrong cloths unless it gets media attention so the rest of the world sees it.
America is royally fucked up, but you have to be living in an opium den 24/7 to make such a retarded statements.
And finally, you do realize the only reason your country exists in the state it exists in is because we help it to do so... so we can use your oil, right? You've got what? 10-20 years left before we move to an alternative and your country once again is utterly worthless and you utterly powerless. When you dip back to poverty and starvation, lets see how civilized your country appears then.
Microsoft contributed stuff so their code would work.
Does it make "linux" better? No.
Does it allow THEIR code to work? Yes.
So interoperability is bad? Thats pretty fucking funny considering the number of fanboys such as yourself that shout that MS goes out of its way to break interoperability.
Would better interop not make Linux better? Seems rather illogical to say that Linux working better with Windows is a bad thing, since that is what you're saying I'm going to have to assume one of us is as retarded as Corky from Life Goes On, and its not me.
As I post this, there are 34 comments, and 33 of them are just ignorant anti-microsoft flames. I don't like MS as much as the next guy, but you're just showing how pointless it is to care what any of you think, you are unpleasable. Nothing is good enough for you.
You're acting like a bunch of asshole teenagers, and you know what happens to asshole teenagers, everyone else ignores them and lets them dick around in their own idiotic little world until they grow out of it.
So what if MS is making patches for interoperability with their systems, if you had have a fucking clue you'd be happy for that since its practically impossible to not deal with Windows.
Whats better, is the code is code they've already submitted... but wasn't up to your standards... so they fixed all the issues to make it fit into the retarded little world of idiotic artificial restrictions placed on kernel code just to appease a bunch of GPL zealots... did everything you want, and you still bitch.
These patches might make it easier for you little puds to run Linux under the MS hypervisor so you can have your Linux jerk fest even at a majority MS based company...
Instead of looking like a bunch of angsty teenage morons, why don't you shut the fuck up and be thankful for a change.
I'm not a Linux fanboy, clearly, but I'm certainly pro-open source, my preference is FreeBSD, and never once have I bitched about an MS contributed patch. Its not like they can sneak something in, the patches are reviewed by everyone... open source, remember? What do you think they're trying to do, run you out of existence via 'good compatibility'?
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
I should note, that almost all of these posts so far are 1million UIDs or AC, so it probably really is teenage angst, but holy shit no wonder no one commercially supports Linux, you guys are just ungrateful fucks.
Really, here is an example, when their phones broke down, they found other methods to accomplish the same thing... interestingly enough, and entirely missed in the summary is the fact that most of the work arounds were traditional, not internet related methods.
HR departments also know that experience costs money.
Normally, I'm an anti-HR kind of person, but this is one example of where you wouldn't want HR around to do the hiring, you seem to be missing the simplest of the basics of it.
leave the bay area? but I do really like it here. climate, culture, food (especially the food; one of my weaknesses)
So then... to put it bluntly... quit whining about scarcity of jobs, since there isn't one, if 100k people want jobs in your area, and there are only 10k jobs there, then you move.
This is a typical American thing... 'my life is horrible I can't get a job!!!!!!@$!@$ I deserve better!!@$!@$'
When the reality of it is, you can get a job, you just don't want to.
As far as a sad state of affairs... that statement just makes you look stupid. Did you not think someplace with great weather was not going to be saturated with people wanting to live there, making it harder for EVERYONE there to find a job?
As a networking guy you should fully understand the problem with saturation, yet you seem to be completely unaware of it.
Your not having a problem finding a job, you're bitching that no jobs are jumping out and biting you.... probably indicative of your attitude in general and another reason you aren't going to get people throwing offers at you. You're in an area where the best of the best want to work... you don't stand a chance, while you're whining about it, someone else is figuring out how to take your job.
Sure, the reasons for 'cannot' probably isn't what you were implying, but lets face it, those are 3 apps that people will want and you'll never see on an android device.
Actually, most of it did happen. Compatibility issues and having to start over with vista due to the ass pounding they got in the security area forced them to rethink the strategy.
WinFS was available for download for a while, as were many other things they worked on for Vista before they had to rethink it all.
Linux is not the centre of the universe. Linux is the glue that holds the universe together[*]. Even Windows PCs would be a damn sight less useful if it weren't for the presence of Linux everywhere from Google to your home router.
Neither home, my home ISP, my office, or the colo where our servers reside use Linux anywhere in their infrastructure. The colo obviously hosts some Linux machines for customers, but you use Linux for network infrastructure when you haven't grown up enough yet to use the proper OSes.
Your little router might because you went out of your way to find one that did, most people don't, and neither does their router.
That's a non sequitur. Since when does liking Linux - and using it professionally or for fun - have anything to do with its commercialisation?
It doesn't, and thats the point, which you proved. Your lust for it has clouded your judgement, which is why you bring it up.
and seeing how PPC emulation actually works on x86?
Using JIT emulation or recompile in advance?
Apple and Alpha both have shown on multiple occasions that you can emulate another architecture rather well if you put some effort into it. JIT types of emulation suck ass if you're not running on the same architecture, but using AOT recompilation makes the initial startup/load suck, but runtime generally is doable if it can talk to native libraries.
ACH transfers take less than 24 hours, they all clear the day they are put in. There is no delay. Within 24 hours of the start EVERYONE knows the completion status, thats the advantage of it being controlled by the fed so banks can't dick with you.
Anyone who says it takes longer is doing it to gain interest from your money before they give it to you. Which is exactly what paypal does. The longer delays you see are because its profitable for them, the person who has the money holds onto it as long as possible to gain interest. Your AMEX on the other hand shows up as soon as possible so they get paid as soon as possible, or depending on the card, the sooner they can start interest collection.
Save up the money in advance from doing other work?
Its not hard.
But thats not what you mean.
You want to build a factory tomorrow without waiting or doing work to get the resources to build the factory yourself. You want someone else to pay to build your idea without you actually having to do anything buy sigh a piece of paper saying you'll agree to pay the money back...
Simply put, you are the exact type of person that banks shouldn't loan money too.
Food and my home are the first two things that come to mind, you know, the essentials.
Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather fuck around on the Internet and read slashdot from within my nice airconditioned house and buy my food at the market, but I most certainly CAN do those things myself without anyone elses support, it'd just not be nearly as easy.
Ignoring all that, no one has to loan me anything to get started, I can barter for it with goods I already have collected myself. I don't have to take out a loan, I can choose to get the money first and buy it out right rather than have to pay someone extra for the privilege of getting it early.
By your definition, nothing can be built on your own, everything comes from somewhere else, which is a logical fallacy naturally. You really can't even build fire, its a chemical reaction, you have to have the resources there first.
Lets name some things I've bought on my own:
My 3 cars. My boat. My electronics/pcs/entertainment stuffs
Uhm, pretty much everything EXCEPT my house I bought without 'borrowing' anything. The difference is, I live within my means, you don't, and you don't even understand what its like to do so.
Gold has value on its own. Gold has use outside of currency, which means its value is relatively stable, its rarity means you don't need as much of it to have a valuable amount. Society can completely collapse, and gold will still have value as it has direct uses.
Fractional reserve fraud works because you're printing money from thin air. It only has value until the moment people decide it no longer has value. Its giving away your gold, multiple times.
Slashdot Mirror
Because they learned a long time ago they could take the money ... then act immorally anyway and win on both sides.

Yes, it does. Sometimes. And this is not 'now', it has always been that way.
Green Peace and PETA are both prime examples of terrorists who are also called activists.

How many years does it take before rational thought trumps irrationally fanboys?
That's interesting - there was some code contributed to FreeBSD by Microsoft?
Are you seriously that ignorant or trying to be funny?
Would you like specific contributions to FreeBSD kernel/userland, or is the fact that they released the CLR (see: rotor) for FreeBSD enough?
So you're saying the people who review kernel patches are so shitty they couldn't spot any of the things you're referring too?
You do realize you're insulting your own team more than the other team right, you're just too stupid to realize ... oh ... never mind.
Microsoft contributed stuff so their code would work.
