Agreed. I use both Gentoo and Debian, and basically Gentoo does it the more "sane" way imho. Debian just asks you while apt-get install/ugrade presenting four options and you got to pick one, halts the install aswell. Its a major pain in the ass when upgrading lets say, 150 packages. Gentoo does it the good way, you can deal with the configs later...
They can just keep repeating that they aren't afraid just to reassure themselves and their business partners. The statement that IE is not less, secure, well, is known false. The security is compromised the same moment they integrated the browser into the OS so tightly. Btw, the mere fact that they react on firefox shows its effect on the market. I think in the future firefox will steadily get a nice share of the browser market, when more and more users learn about its features. IE is just an ancient application, deprecated, and insecure (CERT says so, not me, before someone starts accusing me).
Well, if you _really_ stick to the facts, you still dont know who is the next president of the USA for sure, until december. But most people go for the unofficial result (which, usually doesnt change much). This last sentence of mine i think quite much applies to most democratic countries imo. Although, i have to add my personal feelings. I do not expect the unofficial results to be ready before i go to sleep at the election's night, but usually it happens anyway. I think in some countries like the USA, people should demand better verification of the elections. I think its not good enough just to say: here are the results. It wasnt good enough in Venezuela, thats why they had 3 paper trails of the electronical voting maschines, which were an open design. The good enough thing is to say: here are the first results, and here are the safety checks: lets perform those, and we'll see. Unfortunately the USA missed the very existence of safety checks. Voting needs to be open, reviewable by the public.
The anonymity of voting is one of the most important ways to ensure that everyone can vote whatever he/she feels to be right. Not whatever he/she would vote on if everyone would know about the vote that has been casted. It doesnt mean people want to hide something, you still can tell people your vote, but anonymity protects YOU. General Anonymous voting is one of the requirements for a democracy to work.
Yes, Árpi is actually quite incompetent at times. Btw as far as i remeber the incident it was a remote kernel exploit, nothing to do with Debian...it could have been any other linux box running the same version of kernel...
The long answer is: the bug is marked "blocking-aviary1.0", which means 1.0 cannot be released until this bug is not fixed. The bug depends on these unfixed bugs, which means the bug cannot be called "fixed" until all of these bugs are not fixed. UNfixed bugs atm in the dependency: 265027 265067 265736 265846 265867 265899 265902 265973 265999 266015.
Although all this info could be determined from the original bugreport.
Thing is, this is a GOOD THING (TM). The Mozilla foundation is trying to weed out the bugs now, the security bug hunting contest, etc should ring a bell . They fixed more than 250 bugs, blocking the 1.0final. Its better to make things work now, than to break things later. Anyway the NYT ad is about FF 1.0 FINAL, which should not have any serious security problems (look at the Burning Edge for bugfixes. There are other reasons that why IE shouldnt be compared to FF aswell, including M$ policy about what is considered a "vulnerability" and a "security issue" and that IE is not actively developed now for four(!!!) years. Its quite bad that there are serious bugs in IE at all(!!), remember they had four years to weed those out. Just my $0.05:)
...launches a space program, but honestly its nothing but fragmenting resources. Countries need to team up and do make ONE common space program. Its time to put away national pride, propaganda etc, because let's face it: a country in itself be it even the USA is small to run a space program. We need two things: the international science community to work together and nations to work together (giving funding to ONE common space program). We are 15 years after the cold war and we dont need to compete with other nations. Its high time the countries join together, create an international organization leading the project and start pumping money only there...this organization should work on developing all the new stuff and pioneering space travel and aswell trying to figure out how to formalize commercial space travel, we do need some rules and regulations in it. I can imagine it like an international agreement signed by the countries who would like to let companies into space. Well i dont expect this to happen all at once, but -imo- this is the logical thing to do.
"A famous recent puzzle is Rubik's cube invented by the Hungarian Ern Rubik. Invented in 1974,patented in 1975 it was put on the market in Hungary in 1977. It did not really begin it's infamous popularity until 1981. By 1982 10 million cubes had been sold in Hungary, more than the population of the country. It is estimated that 100 million were sold world-wide."
That is for the facts, otherwise from the brain twisting solution, there is another way to solve it, as few noted before, to strip all the cover from the cube, making it entirely black, which is a valid solution according the rules of the game.
Oh boy its one of the rare moments im proud to be a hungarian, when there is a discussion about hungarian inventions, that is...
...i see a quite dark feature ahead of us. The nature isnt a machine to turn it off when it starts producing bad things. No. It builds up, so even if we dont feel too much bad effects atm, it could mean that after 30 years, even if we stop ruining the environment, the effects will be severe. Perfect example is the greenhouse effect, and please dont flame me with studies "fueled" by oil companies...Im not willing to turn this planet into a dump just to let companies keep their profit up. Pollution will just result in making this planet a worse place for ourselves and our children. Its very unfortunate that most companies think short term.
...apt-get update;apt-get upgrade folks;) At least for the debian folk;> Now, being a bit more serious, no careful sysadmin does that...right? Reading the changelog and making sure the release isnt broken in the respository is a good practice, at least, in the case of production servers. Its better to stay unprotected against some vulnerabilities for an hour or two then breaking your fine-tuned system. Especially since security should not start at application level.
..helping to get the basics before starting to learn c. Quite nice language, although not the best, but ive seen even an operating system in freepascal;)

I would say its quite the opposite. The people who try to cheat want to announce victory as soon as they can to leave no space for verification.

1. Double the google index
;)
2. Better Search results
3. More users
4. ???
5. Profit
Sorry couldnt resist
Master Yoda has the Force, you should doubt it not.
Yeah, we've got one year of minimum warrantry for stuff like this here in central-yurop. :)
That's weird...why on earth a remote expoit would require local access? Thats why it is remote, no local access is required.
Yes, Árpi is actually quite incompetent at times. Btw as far as i remeber the incident it was a remote kernel exploit, nothing to do with Debian...it could have been any other linux box running the same version of kernel...
Well, shortly, yes.

The thing is, this release isn't even a proper release candidate as the maintainer of Burning Edge noted, thus even the title is flawed...

Unfortunately i need to agree with you. I would rather use non-profit solutions.

Did i mention the expression space program yet?

Thanks for pointing this out. I ment the increase of the greenhouse effect, otherwise known as global warming, of course.
