In two days it corrupted its cache 3 times, forcing me to manually clear it. It choked on all of my google cookies and wouldn't allow me to login to gmail until I googled the answer (manually clearing all of my cookies as well as cache). On top of that the sync barfed all over the place when I added a third machine and and somehow the plugins I had loaded, specifically lastpass, ended up taking a shit on all over the place because sync broke.
I think EvanED's example was meant to illustrate the fact that protecting just a few lines of a config file cannot be achieved using only the traditional filesystem security; you'd have to split the configuration file, or go some other route.
Indeed, but the point is invalid when Windows applications and services don't exclusively rely on the registry for storing their settings. Especially when the example given doesn't even work on Windows. To put it another way, it doesn't really matter what the theory is if it isn't done in practice. It's even worse to note that Microsoft that sets the 'standard' on how applications should be created in Windows doesn't even do it.
Why don't you go up to some of my friends who came back from Iraq or Afghanistan missing pieces of themselves and tell them they weren't in a war. I dare you.
If you want him to honor that request, you should at least post an address.
You can't just say "text files", because I can't write "Hey Apache, I want you to put password protection on the stuff in/var/html/secret" in a file and have it work.
Please explain to me how to get IIS8 to put password protection on the stuff in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\html\secret using only the Windows registry.:)

To be honest, if you're in IT and someone tells you there is a "text file" configuration which results in you concluding that, there are bigger problems than that.
I stand by what I said; The wide variety of linux distributions, software versions, differing packaging applications, etc., makes patch management and software deployment a nightmare.
I suspect you don't know how to do it properly based off that comment, since you don't even come up with any real examples or even bother naming a technology.
but a lot of it is that there aren't any enterprise-grade tools to make it easy.
I guess these relatively easy deployment tools I use on SuSE and Redhat for Enterprise level setups are just figments of my imagination. The funny thing is that I've been using these tools for years, back when Windows had 'Systems Management Server' as standard, so these aren't even a new development.
if you consider Windows' System Center Configuration Manager to be 'enterprise-grade' for software management, the package managers you get for free out of the box from major Linux distros tend to actually surpass it (I personally prefer some of the better all-in-one solutions that Novell provides that offer a level of fine grained management that is much harder to maintain and scale in Windows).
It takes a certain amount of a sadistic personality to be a good test guy.
Your type of thinking is what lead to horrible study material I had to read for the ISTQB foundation exam whereby there was constant references to a developers verses testers mentality. This whole testers verses developers mentality does not happen in healthy team relationships.
I didn't try, I pretty much asked a question in topic of the previous questions, you're the one whos trying to save your answer now by claiming the question wasn't in reference to my previous line of thought etc. And if you were genuinely trying to evade by going into a different topic as you claim, well, pretty similar conclusion either way. Your point has come across perfectly, Khyber.
I don't think most people on Debian are rebuilding their systems using apt-build.
I don't think most people would need to on any OS unless the OS forced them.
I have used apt-build on custom architectures (targeting a custom arch, like when I was building packages for my Nintendo DS) and for specific packages that needed extra features the package maintainer failed to provide (usually from a 3rd party repo rather than distro repos).
My boss insists there's some reason to use aptitude but whenever I try to corner him, he tells me about the use case for dist-upgrade without naming dist-upgrade, and can't give other reasons.
I don't know why you're telling me this.
"apt-get will leave packages in held state"
Does this even matter since we know how to deal with this trivially?

How do I configure browser.download.manager.quitBehavior like in Firefox?
Why didn't you take the more secure approach and use a tool like sandboxie?
Why don't I experience your problems on Firefox?
My carrier offers unlimited with tethering too!
Then why is MySpace still around and why do I still see MySpace IDs being referenced in stuff like newly designed restaurant menus?
From religions of course!

Except this is not for the PC operating system, as clearly highlighted by the summary. So, not really another reason.
Why won't you believe in me? :(
A good tester would also raise this as a risk to the product, if it should be considered as such.

Please do better research in future, Adobe did not make their creative suite 'cloud based'.
You realize these are still desktop applications?
So make a kickstarter.
Those are cloud based only though. Adobe's offering is for desktop applications too.
You don't have to, it's a desktop application on a subscription model.
Your companies are...?

Cool story bro.
And in this case, it's your legal team, not a class action legal team, your words, not mine. Your point is still invalid.
Because lawyers have so much time to spend for free on other people's stuff? Yeah, no. I am not buying it, Khyber Kitsune.
Khyber, what is your day job that can afford you a legal team?
