It doesn't matter what someone that calls them self a liberal says, they likely don't have a clue. Liberalism is a philosophic way of thinking. Its not what the talking heads on Fox News claim it to be. Liberalism, as the OP quoted from Wikipedia, was born of the Age of Reason (which we have clearly left behind).
Because as a free individual my day to day life should be free of government intervention? I believe the same sentiment was shared by the founders as well.
You could say that the Linux kernel is broken if driver that works hand in hand with it is broken.
WSUS did work fine, you don't need WSUS to use MSI at all. MSI is just their package manager. As I've said, I had WSUS 2 running for quite some time and never experienced the issue. It also didn't take them three months to fix the issue.
The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any hard proof that the code ever gets looked at... especially in older, stable portions of the program. Saying there "millions of eyes" is just bullshit.. nobody knows what code gets reviewed or by how many people. Also, how many of those millions are even qualified to review the code? Perhaps they are not as familar with how an over all algorthm fits into the rest of the system.
If you buy the console by itself and not in a bundle, it comes with one Wiimote, no games, and no nunchuck. That's why nunchucks were / are so hard to find, yet every store has plenty of Wiimotes.
I agree you don't need the classic contorller though.
I agree, the Wii is a great value, and great fun. I can play all my favorites from the NES and SNES days. Playing is also a more fun experience, the controls are great... less buttons and more intuitive.
I'm fine with it being up to the parents, but then if they choose to keep the child, I expect them to foot 100% of the medical bills. That's not what is happening, and MA is pushing us further down the line that everybody ELSE is responsible for your choices.
As I've said, security is a compelling reason to upgrade, but each person needs to evaluate how important the security aspect is for them. To you it may not be important, to me it might be. "Compelling" is pretty subjective.
Perhaps you should realize that it didn't happen to everyone. Also, the bug you mention was something specific to MSI, not WSUS. The issue occured for one week before another patche fixed the issue.
Perhaps you should read the article, which states: "The price of gas has been based since the 1920s on a formula that measures a gallon of gas when it is 60 degrees"
So yes, the tempurature does matter, because if the price is based on 60 degree gas, and its coming out of the pump at 65, you're getting less for the same price.
Small savings over time adds up. At least enough to buy that coke you seem to hate for some reason. What's it to you if someone wants to buy gas + a coke or just gas for the same price?
I find myself extremely skeptical. fuel tanks are usualy fairly far underground. buried tanks are going to be fairly near isothermal and the ambient temperature is not going to change the temp very much on it's short trip to the tank.
They actually aren't buried very deep at all.
If anyone is getting ripped by this, it's the independent fuel stations. There a fuel truck that has been driving for days or dipped out of above-ground storage might indeed be warmer. So the station is buying hot fuel. But the consumer is probably buying fuel much closer to the underground temperature. It would not be hard to fix this since measuring the temperature of the fuel truck would be easy and infrequent.
Did you miss the part of the article that said on average gasoline coming out of the pump was close to 65F?
Finally, were talking a couple of percent difference in energy per gallon here. Don't people suppose that their cars efficiency might also vary by a several percent with ambient temperature?
Efficiency has nothing to do with how much gas is coming out of the pump.
Finally, the station sells gas by the gallon not by the BTU. you are still getting a gallon. If anything you are getting more than a gallon since it's coming out of a cold tank and then expanding in your hot car tank. So actually you owe them more not less.
Except we have a standard saying gas is to be sold by the gallon at 60F, not 65F. Also, remember the interior of the earth is HOT, not cold..
Not true. I deployed WSUS 2.0 a year ago, and it worked fine. I didn't care to use a webpage to manage it, but thankfully they now have an MMC snap-in for v3 instead.
Your large company has idiots for IT then. There's no reason not to use WSUS, then you have one server downloading from the internet, and clients pulling from that (or another interal downstream server). And you set it to do so at 3AM when no one is around.
Your argument does not hold up. The product will be no better than if US workers were used to build it. In some cases, it may be inferior. Have you purchased anything from china? The workmanship is lacking.
The other side of the argument, that profits go up for the company, is also in doubt. As more work is taken outside the country, there is less for US citizens. Those that aren't working may not be able to buy the product.
As more higher paying jobs are moved offshore, the effect is worsened. Now instead of same factory worker not being employed you have someone that used to be able to make $60k unemployeed.

I'd argue that it began much longer ago than TV.

Um, you know that encryption is not security through obscurity though?
You also know that, while it should never be used alone, security through obscurity is a valid practice to make hackers jobs more difficult?

There are GOOD Adam Sandler movies?

You'd have a point of we didn't have cars with transmissions. My car uses less gas going 45 than it does 35.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Apache have its own license agreement and doesn't use GPL?
I intereperate that to mean that I as the licensee can choose which version so long as its v2 or later.
Righhht. So what version of Linux can we expect there to be zero security exploits for it EVER again?
Not true. I deployed WSUS 2.0 a year ago, and it worked fine. I didn't care to use a webpage to manage it, but thankfully they now have an MMC snap-in for v3 instead.
Your large company has idiots for IT then. There's no reason not to use WSUS, then you have one server downloading from the internet, and clients pulling from that (or another interal downstream server). And you set it to do so at 3AM when no one is around.
So why don't we hear about all the Linux security patches?
How did this troll ever get insightful?
So you think that we should distill everything to the lowest common denomiantor, because 1 in 1000 people MIGHT be unstable?
I think we need to accept that there are just unstable people, and the only way we'll find them is after they act out.
