All of the properly compliant webbrowsers that I've seen are still far to eager to render non-standard code. Clearly they do not deserve the same amount (or even order of magnatude) of blame, but this leniency certainly isn't helping the situation.
If everyone would just follow the goddamned standards then we wouldn't have to worry about this shit. Yes I'm blaming all parties involved here, they are all either directly responsible, or too complacent.
I think as we see an increase in cellphone usage for common internet tasks, the "out of band" benefits of this scheme are going to be lost for many people.
This absurdity comes from bureaucracies where blame and shame for failure will never make it back to the person who really deserves it. Someone got a bonus for throwing in the word "unhackable" but when it turns into a debacle everyone will just blame someone else until people forget about it. Zero accountability.

As a city biker, I can fully agree. We're dicks. (but damned if we don't get there faster;))
Fine, if a robber walks through a big fucking gape in your house and steals your shit, are they responsible for buying you a wall? Of course not, stop being ignorant.
That probably is his point. Many people don't have a clear concept of what exactly a "distribution" is, and expect different distros to be about as different as Mac OSX and Windows are.
Does the package/update system, and all the slick config stuff that all the distros have matter? Of course, but they really are all quite similar on a deeper level.

Yeah, and House is a doctor, a DOCTOR. What better rolemodel could our children have?

Damn I love that movie. Completely renewed my respect for engineering, made me feel good about being a nerd again :)

Honestly I'm impressed you managed to post on slashdot with a policy like that. (that's saying something negative about slashdot, not your policy ;))
Pretty damned sure everyone knows the Titanic sank. Public schooling hasn't gotten that bad yet.
When we get an article about Sun, we'll bash Sun in a heartbeat. In the meantime this is an article about Apple so expect Apple bashing.
Is this really all that complicated?
Huh? Two of those four are hardly "spoiler-able" movies, while the other two are quite spoile-able.

Where the hell are you going to the movies at? Friday night movies in downtown Philly cost $10 max and I'm sure that's high compared to most places.
Says the BSD troll. Try looking in the mirror for once.
Whichever mod modded this guy troll is a nazi asshole. Would some more mentally stable mods please fix this?
I'd rather lose my laptop and keep my data secure, than keep it and let those draconian thugs invade my privacy.
In that case you should love the WTFPL.
Zepplins have a good deal more surface area than cars, and they need to float.
That said, I don't doubt that it could be done with sufficently expensive^Wadvanced solar cells.
I completely agree! In C++, what should be a trivial amount of code (practically nothing really), becomes a massive mess!

Really?!? I thought these were rats that were in bad car accidents, war vets, and took nasty falls down the stairs!

We've always been at war with Eastasia.
So uuuhm.... don't do that? That's about as silly as complaining about linux because of Alt-SysRq-b.
Purple looks like artificial grape tastes. In other words, you arn't missing much ;)
