The real problem here is the quarterly patch cycle that seems to ignore the severity of security bugs. If you want to do a quarterly cycle that's fine - but you need to make exceptions for security bugs.
For my perspective, I think this is a shit design that is too hard to work with because I apparently have to interact with things my clicking to drag a dial around, instead of just entering a value. I think it would be much easier to have a keyboard-friendly interface, with a visual view of the same if you wanted, and you could optionally use that exclusively as well. Hot-keys, shortcuts, and direct entry are my thing, not dials and sliders. But I realize that's only my opinion. Hopefully you will see that aesthetics are not important for functionality unless a user already has that model in mind.
I get what you're saying, though I think I should have specified that you don't enter absolute values in these kinds of things. Unless you are trying to duplicate the settings on another - in which case you use patch saving/loading.
You're supposed to use your ears, and tune the settings until you hear what you are looking for. Only a genius savant is going to know they want their oscillators exactly tuned to a particular frequency.
you can simply mouse over and use the scroll wheel. I've seen it a few times like that.
Absolutely cannot stand that. I much prefer a click-and-drag - usually up or right (or both...) raise the value while down or left will lower the value.
Synthesizers are good examples of Skeuomorphic interfaces done right. You usually end up with a horrid ugly unusable pile of controls if you do not go the Skeuomorphic route.
There's definitly something to be said about aesthetics too.
For example, imagine a synthesizer. You could reduce it to a list of checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders, and text boxes. However, working with that would be a chore.
You seem to be equating "hard work" with labor intensive work.
Are you telling me a chemist can't work hard unless he's hauling containers back and forth? Are you telling me an administrator can't bust their ass with the only physical work being that of going to the file cabinet and back?
It is amusing. But even still - it has a kernel of truth (like all really good trolls). If you're sitting around eating fast food and junk food, eating something like Subway instead is a marked improvement. Could you be eating better than that? Yes. But it's still worlds better than what you were doing before.
Come on. "Miguel de Icaza" is in the first sentence of the summary. You should have know to just move on if you wern't interested in some good old group-troll masturbation.
You must have bought that phone outside the US? (GPS need to shut themselves down above certain altitudes and velocities to be commercially sold in the US, for "weaponization" reasons)

Denyhosts does it via /etc/hosts.deny though - leaving the firewall alone and squishing them with tcpwrappers.
If you've got a cumbersome iptables, this may be more performance friendly than constantly adding/removing rules.
Put something like denyhosts or fail2ban on top of that and you're even more safe.

What hokey coded-overnight-while-drunk were you running, that routine JVM updates broke things?
code performance critical portions in C/C++/Cython
Well, you just set off the "I don't know what I'm talking about" alarm.
What the fuck do you think you were using when you did the rest of the code in Python? Cython is Python.

I can use adblock on the internet. My eyes don't seem to have a compatible plugin interface.
That's funny. I never had heard of the term, and it took me all of 5 seconds of skimming the wiki page to understand what it meant.
Maybe you have a learning disability?

I smell a troll.

Well. Paper people. That may work.
Hey, don't forget about spinach!
I always sub in spinach instead of lettuce if I can. Lettuce has no damn flavor. Spinach is probably better for you anyway.

He's also drunk the MS koolaid beyond recovery. His opinion has long since been invalid.

True, I had a stupid moment.
That said, those are the maximal limits. Nothing stops the manufacturer from imposing lower limitations.

Oh, btw: APU is already taken.
I wonder what wounder means?
Balloons... in caves? What is that supposed to accomplish?

The flux compass doohickeys are not in the cockpit. Neither are the communications radios.
Those are all on the wings, belly, and back of the plane - around the passengers.
Read the damn sky mall magazine for fuck's sake.
Why would I want to read material that's 98% advertisement?
