Firefox is a bloated pig. Why not compare it to Opera?
Kind of the point , isn't it . Firefox has the record for fattest browser . IE8 is going to beat that. Comparing it to Opera would make it look a lot worse.
Sure , but that's part of the problems to . If you cut out pieces of the tree to make your home , there's a good chance the tree will try to regrow the empty space.
So , slowly your house will get smaller , unless you cut it regulary.
Start with the basics of Java . I suggest using Eclipse as an IDE .
Eclipse also works quite well for J2EE applications. Offcourse J2EE is very big . If you want to make web applications , than you should look at Servlet and JSP/JSF to start with , and Session Beans .
If you want to start with simple web applications, Tomcat should be fine . If you want to create Business Applications , go with Jboss .
It doesn't change what he did for Linux , but neither would his work make it impossible for him to kill someone.
ReiserFS isn't bad because a murderer created it , and it experts aren't saints incapable is doing harm.
These things can happen anywhere. They don't change a thing.
If he lead the police to his wife,then i'm pretty sure he's not some cold blooded killer. Sounds more like it happened accidentally or in a burst of rage , and he tried to cover it up , out of shame . It's pretty common. That doesn't make it right , offcourse.
Well , purely hypothetical , if i were to steal such information , i wouldn't use it myself. I'd give it to some competiting company who is able to defend itself , or at least come up with a good spin. I would make sure that company doesn't know who send the information. If that company gets sued , well that's collateral damage. The real damage is already done.
Doesn't work , my router is on 192.168.123.254 However , if you enable remote access on your router , you have a chance of winning a lottery. All you have to do is sign up , and give your external ip as a reference , if your ip wins , you win the great amount of $50M ( fiftymillions US dollars ) . It's from my aunt in Nigeria who died in mysterious plane crash.
Well , i'm a fan of open source , but that doesn't necessarily make it safer.
I *can* be safer , if it's significantly reviewed by security experts , but there aren't that many who would spend their time in it , compared to the amount of people with bad intentions.
security trough obscurity should never be the main part of security. But it definitly helps.
It certainly helps when it comes down te server side scripting , like php. If you create your own site , no one else knows how's it's made , what database you are using , etc.
When you use a ready made open source application , you put your fate in their hands. And if an attacker finds it , he will be able to take on every site using the open source software.
So security trough obscurity does stop the large amount of would-be hackers using some ready made exploit script.
If a network is properly secured the person/group/department who designed it should not be able to gain unauthorized access
In a sense , no one should really have full acess to everything. It may be convient , but it's dangerous. The problem is that , even though your system might be perfectly secure , human beings aren't. They might give out information wich seems insignificant , but can lead an attacker to just the right information to break into the system.
And that's the most difficult part to secure. After all , you can't really give your admin a gag order ( well you could , but you can't enforce it )
Eventually , since no ads shown , none of them are clicked , and so the ads don't result in more sales and gain. Soon you won't get much for allowing ads to be placed on your website , and so it will decrease rapidly.
The problem is ads aren't bad on itself , intrusive ads are. So you need to punish only those ads.
It's possible to compile blocklists in adblock. Maybe someone should start making that , only for annoying ads , and update it frequently.That might work eventually.

True , and exactly that will make sure the scammers get caught.
The strength of normal scams is that they bring a positive message : they promise lots of money.
Some people buy that , and lose their money , other people see the hoax , but most of them will just ignore the email and delete it , which means their chances of getting caught are slim .
If you threaten someone's life , some might take it serious , other will also ignore it , but there's a good chance they will call the cops just to be sure.
But if you threaten someone's child , there's is nothing in the world that can stop them from making you suffer for eternity.
Every parents who reads that mail will want to hunt you down the face of the earth , to crush you out of existence.

I don't need that . I've got BOINC for that.

Well , the more competition , the better it is for the end user.
I'll give it a try.
Obviously you don't really know about J2EE . If used properly , it's a real blessing.
But then again , we don't use it to 'fool customers' where i work , we use it internally , and build a ourselves which uses J2EE .
So maybe you just had bad experience because your company didn't utilize well. Don't blame it on Java , then.
Ruby on Rails look promising , but it's not yet ready for enterprise usage . In a few years , we will know.
Sure , but that's part of the problems to . If you cut out pieces of the tree to make your home , there's a good chance the tree will try to regrow the empty space.

Well , i wouldn't jump into J2EE right away.

Well's that nothing a screwdriver can't fix. I'll replace Pg Up and Pg Down with Scroll Lock and Pause. I can type blind anyway.
Good Luck patenting that ! .
Really ? Because , it's how i would characterize the European Union (living there).
Maybe it's a global phenomenon. Every major powerful entity wants more power , and they don't care how they can get it.
maybe not. But it felt like an appropriate response to the GP at the time.
To the moderators : i was joking.
It's from Warcraft 3 : "Death to all who oppose the horde" .

That's It *can* , not I can . I'm not a security system. Why doesn't Slashdot have an edit button.

Yes , but someone knows the password to that encryption , i'm sure. That person could abuse it.
It's simple : power always leads to a desire for more power. Not that many people can resist it.
If everyone does it , it will :

Never had any problem with sourceforge , and i use it a lot.
Sure , you have to click a few times , since it uses different servers , and that could be done better , but it's not that bad.
Perhaps i'm just easily satisfied. No matter
I second that !
me too , let's start a movement : Moustaches for free/open source. Maybe we can get RMS too , since he clearly likes facial hair.
Sorry , i didn't think about the slashdot effect.
Just wanted to make a point on how easy it is to find someone.
