Not really. I've had my problems with Comcast, but they've never told me personally I couldn't use some service. The ones they don't want me using, they block the port (email).
As a side note, never use your Comcast internet phone as your Comcast customer contact. When my internet was down, they kept cancelling my service appointments because they couldn't contact me to confirm. This happened twice before I figured out what was going on. What an idiotic policy!
Comcast blocks standard ports they don't want customers using. Granted, that's usually easy to get around, but if they're not blocking the standard port, I don't believe they're telling anyone to stop using it, unless it's someone contacting customers on their own at a local office.
Try to set up a simple email server; they're blocking that port.
We don't know what Y is, so how can we know if there even is an X. There appears to be an X, but the sample size is miniscule. It could be a result of X-squared minus e-cubed. For all we know, there could be a part of the universe we can't see yet that is coming toward us. It might even be us.
They're asking the wrong question and trying to solve the wrong problem. TCAS (Collision Avoidance) technology is already here for aircraft. The cars in front can keep enough space between them to allow an exit route and even tell the cars behind how fast to go to avoid running into them. Avoid the creation of the situation rather than try to figure out what to do when you didn't think and communicate ahead of time.
Failing all that, your car can tell the big one to take out the smaller car for you.
After updating my openssl in Gentoo Linux, I noticed that there is a USE flag for 'tls-heartbeat'. So, I have now removed that use flag from all of my Gentoo installs.
Is there any useful reason to keep heartbeat around?
So users expect an upgrade path from a 10 year old OS to the current version? I have a server running Gentoo that is 3 years without updates and I have no upgrade path. How many other operating systems will allow a direct upgrade to the latest branch without intermediates?.
Been running Gentoo on some of my PC's (as well as a PS3, and an IBM PPC64 in the attic) for about 7 years now. Sure you're screwed if you don't update in 3 years, but if you do weekly or monthly updates, there's now upgrades at all, unless you count profile updates.
On a loosely related rant, Gnome 3 is worse than Windows 8. I've been forced to switch over to KDE to keep OpenRC. Systemd is the Devil.
Climate change has been happening since the formation of the planet. It's not new or unusual...despite what Al Gore's bank account is trying to tell you.
More stable? Reliable? Secure? In all cases, anecdotes are not useful. Where's the evidence? Is it the license that matters?
The license, pf, and a reputation for networking speed.
Anecdotes do matter, though - Netflix works and is profitable, so if your use case is like Netflix's then FreeBSD probably will work for you.
Speaking of anecdotes, a trend that I've noticed is that linux fans will tend to use FreeBSD when it makes sense in a particular application, and FreeBSD fans will tend to use linux when hell freezes over.
So you're saying Linux/GNU fans that use FreeBSD aren't capable of being FreeBSD fans. There's a flaw in your argument.
Avionics are so well shielded that you couldn't interfere with them if you wanted to. As for fly-by-wire, there's triple redundancy and those cables must be routed separate from all others. As someone that works for a corporate jet manufacturer on the completions side, I know this all too well. You would have a hard time intentionally crashing a fly-by-wire aircraft.
I'm all late, but seriously, the way to pay for highways already exists and many states are already using it. It's called a toll road. You just need to charge hybrids twice as much at the booth. You just need to give them "loser" license plates so that they can be easily identified.
To me, that is actually quite appealing, in a Mission Impossible sort of way. If I can't fix or gimp it in 30 minutes or less, it's actually work. Plus, it would prevent me from tweaking the wallpaper or theme, which is a bad habit of mine lately. At least I could say Shut it down and mean it.
You don't want to go anywhere near my IBM Power3 running Gentoo, then.

So the size of messages using pop mail is limited?

The solution is simple. Just keep unix time in 32-bit and the machines will be disabled 7 years before then.

Can't see the whole universe...don't know Y.

We need to use a more promiscuous browser like Internet Explorer.

Let me know when a BSD gets opencl and cuda support. That's the main thing keeping me from using it in more than just a VirtualBox machine.

Remember, 'fan' is short for 'fanatic'. Logic isn't really part of it.
So, FreeBSD fans refuse to use Linux for no logical reason. Ok, now I understand.

The president doesn't balance the budget, congress does. The president only signs it.
Republicans were in majority when Clinton "balanced the budget".
Use an enigma app.
So what the article is saying is that conservatives are pussies. Gotchya.
The majority of women vote liberal. Make your own conclusions.

But why do you need to waste money on a surgeon?
Can't you just put the kid in an MRI and rip the magnets out?
You've obviously never paid for an MRI before. I've had brain surgery cheaper.
Gentoo hasn't forced me to Gnome 3, yet, so no need to switch. I'll make my decision on what to do when Gnome 2 becomes too much of a hassle to keep.

Yeah, that will attract people. That's a non-starter.

I had testicular cancer 5 years ago. I bought a cell phone 4 years ago. Have they looked into cancer causing cell phones?
You beat me to it. I had a brain tumor 7 years ago, but got the phone 5 years ago.
Has anyone considered the effects of a bluetooth device permanently attached to the head?
