I really can't help but see it as a great thing that the security errors were found. It totally vindicates the open source model as a means for peer review and enhancement, the developers will have learned some extremely valuable lessons, and the publicity will mean more eyes will be trained on the codebase in future.
The big thing that will save OS X from the same lockdown as iOS is that developers need to use these machines to write the software. What self-respecting developer would ever commit to developing for a platform on a machine they could not install whatever tools they pleased on?
Oh please, that article is hardly a credible piece of journalism. It's an op-ed piece masquerading as a news story. It's full of baseless claims, inflammatory language, speculation and rhetoric. If you're trusting a site with articles written like that for your news, you can hardly be trusted to articulate an intelligent position on anything.
The Greens have their problems, but they're not going to run (or ruin) the country any time soon. The Greens are useful as a minor influence on the unilaterally right-wing homogeneity of the two major parties in Australia. Minorities in the Australian Senate would be a lot less trouble when they held the balance of power if the major parties weren't so "us against them" and could work to build real coalitions of consensus around policies and issues.
Unfortunately, I'm not actually sure of their position on internet filtering. They seem to be doing that fence-sitting thing they love to do instead of presenting a clear and obvious policy distinction in keeping with the principles they say they have. What makes it seem sillier is that the issue is a no-brainer! How could you possibly need to take a "wait-and-see" approach to an idea so fundamentally flawed in its conception and implementation?
This is a really interesting project. Wine is an incredible piece of software and if ARWINSS can increase the amount of collaboration between ReactOS and Wine and bring a driver-compatible NT replacement closer to reality then that's a great thing.
I would, however, hope that ARWINSS doesn't swallow up ReactOS whole because - while ReactOS is a fairly slow moving and cumbersome beast - it still has an extremely worthwhile goal. Even if it takes 5 years for ReactOS to reach functional beta stage, win32 software and obsolete hardware with win32 only drivers is still going to be out there. Why not use it if we can make it work?
That's no coincidence. They intentionally got the tech news sites churning with reports of the R18+ classification to momentarily distract them from the big internet censorship bomb.
Debates about the seriousness of the infection aside, we are indeed in the middle of a flu pandemic, and as this conversation we're having proves, the internet seems to be doing just fine.
With the argument ordering stuff, they could just do what they did with microtime() where they added the extra argument so you could call microtime(true) instead of that list($sec, $usec) = microtime() crap.
Can't remember one of the backwards ones off the top of my head, but using in_array as an example,
bool in_array ( mixed $needle, array $haystack [, bool $strict] )
can become
bool in_array ( mixed $needle, array $haystack [, bool $strict, bool $swapNeedleAndHaystack] )
and a PHP warning can be raised if you don't pass the $swapNeedleAndHaystack argument warning that functionality for this method will switch in PHP 7 and will throw an error if it isn't passed, then in PHP 8 it can be removed entirely so it looks like this:
bool in_array ( mixed $haystack, array $needle [, bool $strict] )
Again, I'm not sure if in_array() is one of the backwards ones and I can't think of one off the top of my head, it's just an example.
The 22nd amendment was ratified during Eisenhower's presidency, which if I'm not mistaken was after FDR, which if I'm again not mistaken means that it was completely constitutional for FDR to serve more than two terms, it was just against the convention.
Neither this article nor the Computerworld article linked mention the date of the protest, which is December 13.
This little bit of information is VERY useful to those of us who live here and who might like to attend. I would venture to suggest that it is the second most important detail.
Well you two are a natural pair, aren't you? you have a homebrew sex toy, he has a homebrew web server. now all you need is someone to build a homebrew credit card processing server.
I'm not looking forward to the damage it'll do for all of the 'cross platform compatible' sites which make use of rendering bugs in IE6 and below in order to display correctly. MS essentially has the power to make a nice big chunk of the web shit itself with how they approach IE7, and that's power I'd rather they not have considering their anti-competitive history.

Now, if the source was proprietary....

It has not been conclusively proven impossible.

Given that computers travel around the sun even faster than dogs, I'd say it's about 200 years old in people years.

And who wants to listen to you making a bunch of phone calls, for that matter?
Sounds like a job for Larry David

I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed.
I'm not getting you down at all, am I?
Has the loudness war done all the damage it can do? That did a lot more to make things sound like ass than mp3 (and made mp3's job harder).

I'd like to know if you could run the OS off a FDD Raid (provided you had about 500, of course)
or the eMac power supplies that shit themselves when the power is a little flaky and cook the motherboard in the process
