Yeah because RH could always dump the Linux kernel and go for Hurd in a heartbeat right? Hardly.
I feel for Tovalds because he made statements about how SecureBoot would pose a "limited" security advantage 6 months ago and "kind of" supported it. Now it just seems that MS is trying to take too much control. So what's next RH will go down Novel's and Nikon's route and start shilling out royalties to MS to use Linux? just give MS an excuse or better yet bend to their will and they will only tighten their grip (lets not forget MS's recent investment in Dell...)
As much as I do like some of MS products, I hate their business tactics and manoeuvring and maybe Tovalds' emotional "outburst" is because he's seeing what used to be a simple click install process for is his OS slowly become a more challenging process only for people who vet the types of hardware they use.
Add insult to injury he now he has one of his key suppliers bend to MS's will. I think it's well placed anger but just like most anger poorly placed in it's delivery.
It's Microsoft, they adhere to a pattern which if you're a big company making lots of money simply have to be on guard for. If MS shows up and offers a strategic partnership, show them the door and smile, it means what you have is worth lots and MS wants to steal it. If you lift the hood on your products and invite them in then instantly your days are numbered and you will eventually lose.
- Look at FB and MS. That's nothing but win for MS. Half of FB is powered by Bing! and now look at what's happening with Skype. Plus they doubled their money when FB went IPO. - Look at Novel and MS. MS win. Nothing but bullying and win for MS. Linux being licensed back to MS, Freakin Maddness!! - Look at Norton and MS. MS win. Strategic partnership that turned into MS Security Essentials and killed Norton's consumer market. - Look at Zune and MS. Tragic fail. Apple was smart to not let peering eyes in on that one. - Look at Xbox and MS. MS win. Get the game makers on side and now MS is making their own award winning games like Halo.
MS wins more than it loses and it's up to "who" lets them win more than if the company is second rate. Simply put, they come a knocken send them packing or you'll pay for it! I don't like their way of doing business but it's how I see them.
A little bit of Nokia a little bit of MS's strategic partnering, a couple years later you have Surface...
Same process, same Borg like attitude.. same old Microsoft.
The word on the street is that they tied FB profile authentication in with their lobby entrance security systems, so unless you have a FB profile you can't enter the building.
What's more disconcerting is the incident being made public now. Why a month after the incident occurring? Are they afraid of an Anonymous Hacktivism style attack? are they trying to spare embarrassment of critical systems that may of been impacted?
They did speak of source code snippets and internal emails being on these particular laptops, TBH, that's worse than what Sally did on the weekend IMHO.
And the blame China point, another case of "here we go again", what is inferred by bringing this up?
I get what you're saying but what I'm saying is more on the flip side.
Consider this, all the situations you've mentioned are situations built around a pre-existing form of technology, the traditional car. And forgive me for being blunt but cars are a costly, problematic pains in the FREAKING ASSS!! (Driver of a Jeep here).
Tesla has presented a new form of technology and therefore the associated problems with that piece of technology need to be rationalised for what it is. To say the problems with Tesla cars are more and not different is unfounded and one eyed. Think of it this way, what would you prefer to service, combustion engine or electric motor? Just a question, even one I cannot properly answer.
So the flip side to your notion
If Tesla has to put special warnings for "idiots" into their cars then they have already failed.
You're talking about behaviours and conditioning set by a old and broken market. Wish to evolve from that market? Learn to be smart about it, the Car does a lot of the thinking for you BTW.
I hear that if you don't feed a horse it stops pulling a carriage too, imagine that...
Now you're assuming the car can't do that right? Which means you don't know much about the car at all.
I've seen the reviews and the car is capabilities and what you speak of is a pretty simple feature which is built in to most GPS systems these days (an this particular car) and considering this car is a technological power house then may I suggest doing some reading about the car in question before making any judgements about it.
Heavy handedness is what is at fault and unless you instate autonomous driving into the equation and take away the ability for the driver to control the car warning will not solve the issue.
Next you'll tell me that it's the table's fault cause it stubbed my toe, or that it's the knife's fault because I cut my finger chopping onions as well.
Let me ask you this? is there a political advantage of offering a bad review to this car? i mean if there wasn't do you think that maybe the reviewer might of been just a little less heavy handed? do you think that's at all possible here?
Read the CBS TFA. The logs stipulate a different version of those events.
Its amusing how some people cant get past this fact that if you drive a computer car it will report accurately exactly what took place.
I'm almost sure if the logs told a different story Tesla would take that information on board and own up the issue, they are advertising conditions in the logs that say otherwise... where are the sysadmins on/. to back me up on this?
I am with you on this but I don't see how it can be fixed though. Think of the problem
Idiot user decides to charge car just enough to get to said destination. Idiot user then (whose in control of the car) abandons the instructions given via the computer.
Of course Tesla can put stronger alerts / warnings in the car to ensure the idiot user knows that in fact they are an idiot but it wont solve the situation at the end of the day.
RTFA from CBS. The guy didn't charge the car to full, he then deviated from the projected routes which the system calculated for him.
It's like putting just enough gas in your car, calculating the route on GPS based on the consumption rate of the fuel, then deciding to deviate from the route and expect to get to your destination thinking god will save you.
Sad because I'm pretty sure the reviewer didn't expect the fact that when he drove a computer car it kept logs of his dickheadedry right?

Not a permanent critique on the matter but my latest opinion. What do I think it will be it be in 6 months? it's the smartphone market it's perhaps the most fastest moving market of them all so it's impossible to tell but I can hedge my bets on the fact that if Apple sticks to it's current approach then Woz becomes more and more correct.
Apple's hardware will follow suit if it isn't careful they'll be back in 90's again re mobile industry instead of desktop. The share value for Apple will remain strong until the end of the year whereby the company's Goodwill will be down in the dumps and that 130bn+ in cash is spent playing catchup.
The things that Apple has at the moment is a lot of cash and a lot of nutcase followers. It's missing (and it pains me to even say it) the one thing even Facebook has more of at present and that's desire to innovate. It's gone kaput, zip. Making smaller and bigger phones / tablets once every six months is totally crap because Samsung will make 5 different sized phone every 3 months.
We're also peering down the barrel of the Glass project which I feel will totally reshape the market again, so if I was Apple putting that 130bn in RND in to a competing device would be my suggestion.
I just got out of a meeting with a client last week needing a solution that works in line with Shitrix and Bloatus Notes.
Now Lotus Notes is becoming a dying art form but WOW what a market impact has it made over the years.
This is where I fail to see the immediate change. If Apple starts consigning to the MS ultimatum and "play ball" what can happen is quite simple a) Apple sells more devices b) Apple learns what business techs is all about.
The weakness for Apple working with MS means Apple becomes about as relevant in the business market as say Toshitba and this is what I think their real issue is. They consign to an age old model and work a hardware supplier for MS. The OS becomes a small part of the equation because everything that actually gets used on the iDevice will be "Powered by Microsoft".
The other glaring weakness is this. For the latest tech for business you can grab a MS Surface (or ASUS tablet or whatever) set up Office and link it into your company's system. Plug-n-play, familiar territory, done and dusted.
Grab an iPad buy the keyboard, download specific hack around apps from the AppStore, call Ted from IT who knows sweet fuck all about iPads other than they are great for Angry Birds, he then has to yell and scream at the thing to set up the hacked around apps and get them to work properly. Encounter all manner of limitations and, I'll be the first to say it, performance issues.
As good as the iPad is as a BYOD it's only cut out for simple business tasks. To make it do more means a whole new utility regime for many organisations. The iPhone and iPad will be on the Manager's buy list, the office lackeys will still receive WP devices and Surface for that reason alone.
It always gets here doesn't it. I shouldn't really be surprised since upon just reading the summary I knew this was going to end in blood.
Okay, slow down iTom, lets just get a few things straight here. Apple is useless in the enterprise space and iOS has been made popular simply by the market gap it filled via consumer / recreational use. Those days are on the way out now and it was a well played strategy for MS to do what they have done when it comes to Win 8.
No this is not an endorsement of their product, it's an endorsement of their ruthlessness. If Apple ever posed a serious threat to enterprise MS would of enacted much sooner with the fact of the matter that Surface now poses a wakeup call to Apple when it comes to enterprise. This whole topic is fuelled on Apple's unwillingness to change with the times, margins are just their excuse to make a point, what about the rest of the infrastructure that goes with it? You can say Apple has made strides in this area but not the magnitude they need to disrupt Microsoft, that's just crazy talk.
And don't get me wrong here, I am grateful for what Apple has done to the industry in the past 5 years, knowingly disliking their products at the same time, but I will never get passed the fact it was consumer based tech they have thrived on and not enterprise.
Google and not really Android, is perhaps a bigger threat but even then not enough to make MS irrelevant. Google Apps are facing a lot of speculation in the industry largely to do with the same issues MS faced a decade ago when it comes to Antitrust.
Which is a bit schizophrenic if you consider that most of the attempts Samsung made at raising prior art were thrown out at the beginning of the trail.
So the point of your argument is precedent? I may of walked in to this argument without reflecting the GP's original sentiment as well as he did, so I'll cite it
If the prosecutor offers a lower penalty for a guilty plea, then the government is admitting that the lower penalty is sufficient if the accused is guilty, and that should be what the defendant is in jeopardy of if he goes to trial.
Precedent upheld in say trespassing is tried and true and I would go as far as saying that you'd probably receive good behaviour or maybe just a fine for your example of illicit activities and that's because of the years of legal precedent set fourth in those particular situations.
The problem here is very much an opposing scale of precedent and why the GP's argument works. Since precedent on this particular circumstance is very thin, should a prosecutor be allowed to use the law as a tactic to force a confession and help define such precedent? or should a judge be allowed this privilege? Before you answer that question consider that this is a federal matter so it does differ heavily from your typical minor offences.
Maybe it's not a problem for established and commonly applied law but it does show a weakness in fresh congressional law which is untried and untested. It also goes as far as saying that federal influence in legal matters of circumstances like this have no place unless in matters of national security and laws at a state level were fine in managing what was best described as a form of civil disobedience.
So to answer your question, nothing, no punishment.
Yes but do we forgo a constitutional right based on the academic argument "we cannot afford enough gravels and desks for all these minor infractions" and push one step closer to Judge Dread like society to save on overhead?
Remember this particular case bore a 60 to 1 ratio on possible sentence to plea bargain which is disproportionate and is trying to dull the need for a Judge, or should we start looking at outsourcing the judicial process for minor infractions over to China as well?
What the GP is saying will help regulate the ability of Prosecutor's to offer such plea bargains and that means they are held accountable to the laws set down within our justice system without frivolously manoeuvring them for political gain. I.E An offence that bores 30 years shouldn't be allowed to have a 6 month plea bargain attached to it therefore enticing Prosecutor's to a) make their case better b) go after just convictions with just outcomes.
Hardly, though I like Android as my personal favourite. I keep breaking Android phones and have given up on them. The iPhone 3X was a sturdy phone (iPhone 4+ are as cruddy as any Android device IMHO, drop test my ass!) and lasted a few extra months of wear and tear but the Nokia is built the last, you could throw them at someone and kill'em they are so tough. Your "isn't that bad" should be "best damn quality hardware in the market" regardless of spec.
In any case WP8 is not clunky and it's just fine for what it does; which is make phone class; snap a few shots with a better camera than any other competitor's device; boast a proper GPS solution called "Nokia Drive" and was a feature "pre mainstream android versions" and works just as well (not like the Apple disaster); it doesn't suck battery; and it loads websites just fine. I'm really sick of hearing the "obligatory" it's shit because it's Microsoft. Please point out its failings? I've used it now for several months now and found absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Oh yes, the Appstore is smaller and boasts far less Fart Apps than its competitors and yes I am aware of this so make sure you strike that one off your list before responding.
It's not about that, it's Linux, we use Linux because of its flexibility. Unity is an attempt to force Ubuntu users into something (worse) than say Gnome-Classic. They have dropped the support and "swagger" they used to have for Gnome-Classic and now its an unpolished hack job. That's the problem!
Never thought I'd look to Forbes for insight but the author has somewhat of a point. Graph Search is not a new feature rather it's a "mop and bucket" revision of an old and broken feature, the "like".
