So what you're saying, is that Azerbaijan was a former soviet republic; seriously? Let's move on from the cold war and call it what it is: part of Europe. We don't commonly refer to the Ukraine as a former soviet republic, nor Belarus, nor Estonia. Get with the times and stop posting ignorant propaganda.
Very interesting, I learned something about a Casio watch I used to own today!
Anyway back to the article, I think there should be a difference between using a specific encryption scheme (applying math to your data), and purchasing a physical piece of specific technology. But then again, there are import/export laws concerning security so I guess there is some legal precedent, even if it's questionable.
It's the same as any dating service. Most women don't need a website to get laid, and they have no desire to sign up for a service that essentially provides them with a constant stream of dick pics or the text-based equivalent.
The problem I've seen happen over and over again is when the boss decides it's much simpler to bypass the technology department, create something as a rapidly developed prototype, and then leave the tech department to cleanup the aftermath. Maybe the IT department got a reputation for making things overly complicated, or they find communication with their own experts too difficult because they lean on the side of realism rather than optimism. In either case, the companies that act this way clearly do not have leaders who have confidence in their own people, and will repeatedly go through new staff for their "technology department" which would be better labeled "cost center" as far as any of said leaders are concerned.
Get more advanced with PHP Frameworks such as Yii, Laravel, Zend. Get on board with OO. Also, if you have any experience using a versioning system such as SVN or Git, make sure to highlight this on your CV.
At least Steam rides its own platform rather than demanding the introduction of proprietary extensions into a tool meant to browse the open web. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Netflix subscriber and I'd like to get my content easily, but at some point I have to wonder why they don't develop their own desktop apps to support the client side.
Totally agree, it shouldn't be posted here. Apparently he wrote this project just to get publicity (read the final paragraph of the article). Once again ladies and gentlemen, Slashdot!
Not any more-so than elsewhere in the world. Visit just about any other country in the world (say Russia, Mexico) and you'll find it's much more common for unmarried children to live with their parents, mostly due to economic concerns. Hell, I'd save so much money if I still lived with my folks.
If I father a child (creator) and raise it to be... less than respectful of the law... my child then robs a bank. Do they put *me* in jail? By your definition they should...
While scripts aren't children, in any event parents are often held responsible for the actions of their children.
This comment has so little context, it's asinine. Are you implying that the public favors lawsuits against oil companies over those confronting online piracy? If so, are you suggesting that the collateral damage caused by oil companies (such as damaging the environment) is greater than that caused by search companies (incidentally providing results that lead to downloads that violate copyright)?
If only politics hadn't fragmented the Linux sound ecosystem, we probably wouldn't have to deal with such a clusterfsck. Then again, there's always BSD...
Maybe there were, maybe there weren't. Point is, now days it's relatively easy for a shit programmer to get their shit app plastered all over the 'net and downloaded into a million smartphones. Back then, if your program sucked, no one would bother redistributing it, since it required floppy disks and physical action. Ergo, those shit programmers never got recognized, and those programmers who could cook up something pretty sick within 64K of RAM got mad street credit because it was actually impressive in the very real sense of the word.
When it comes to cars, it's an established industry with nearly all of the UX design kinks having been already ironed out over the past century. If there's a new car on the market and the driver makes an error, AND the driver is somewhat experienced, I think it's safe to say the design isn't as accommodating or standardized as it needs to be.

Extending that analogy, I guess that would make wireless a waterfall or aqueduct.

Actually considering it's easily forked (and in fact is forked for certain Linux distros), it's a pretty good answer.
Yeah, I'm probably ditching Mozilla, too, as soon as something better than Chrome comes along, but don't pretend open-source is insignificant.

It seems like the only way you can truly make yourself unoffshoreable is to acquire your own local customers by running your own business.
At that point it's kind of like "eh... what's one more circle now that I'm down to number eight?"

Name one thing a Millennial - any Millennial - has done to improve America.
Edward Snowden (millennial) blew the lid on massive online surveillance (an invention of the boomers).

Did they? As far as I know it's still possible to change the fonts and colors of most UI elements using the Control Panel.
There is and always was ALSA
You mean OSS?

Google hasn't been private since they day they started selling shares of their company on the open stock exchange.
