is there ANY way that this is not a tech/i.t. related news ? i mean, did we move to mental interfaces since i went to bed last night ? how can a 12 something button mice news is in idle, as if something irrelevant to/. ?
because, you know, cpanel and similar control panels are very dominant in hosting, and each box houses hundreds of sites. and cpanel and other firms do not go buying certificates for each server license they issue, and the hosts that are using those cpanel/whm installs do not require all the 200 or so clients using the same box buy their own server certificates to reach their own control panels. therefore, the certificates are self issued. ie mydomain.com/cpanel will redirect you to very probably a ssl connection, but the cert wont match the domain. there isnt anything wrong with this either, these people just access their own site's control panel themselves and need encryption for it. they dont need to verify that their own domain, is their own domain.
did that guy calculate this in to his bots that were doing the research by crawling ?
it was to be 10,000+ plus files, not lines of code. i made a typo. and i have been informed that its not 10,000, but actually 54,000+ files. now, go figure.
it is flashy, and a lot of advertising and hype is being done around it.
second, it is coded in a very developer hostile fashion, sometimes in a way akin to metaphorically showing the left ear with your right hand. functions are piped into functions, routines unnecessarily, creating unseemly and unnecessary overhead in the process. this actually seems to be a recent trend in making the code open source, but hostile to external development, channel users to original developers/software house. you can see this being employed in a number of software out there, apart from magento. anything you do in any kind of other php based code, even the most problematically coded scripts, will become a pain in the ass to do in magento. this also increases development time, charges, and shrinks the third party developer base as well as userbase even further, due to higher costs of development compared to anything else.
third, it, for some reason, despite being a shopping cart, has 10,000+ lines of code. go figure.
it is very disturbing that/. gets easily exploited for peddling possessive bloatware like this.
man. they are expected to become coalition partner in next swedish elections. not only that, you can understand that they were a huge factor in effecting the eu parl resolution that banned various cartel imposed measures of acta europe wide, like the 3 strikes measures.
Now, the pirate party is not only a reality in swedish politics, but is an entity in many countries, and has presence in european parliament. thanks to people like him, it has become a reality. its effects will far outreach the initial intent.
and are you a friend of anyone ? even yourselves ? a foreign corporation fucked up an entire ocean worth of ecosystem right now. with all the implications it will do to your health, your small businesses, the people. what happens ? nothing. an entire wall street full of corporations fucked up entire world economy, possibly without any fix. (due to poisonous assets). innumerable crises around the world, billions losing their livelihoods, leave aside whats happening in usa. what happens ? nothing. 4-5 media corporations are buying out laws to fuck up internet for good, to end all anonymity and freedom online so that they can push their business model and make everyone obey it. what happens ? nothing.
excuse me, but wake up; usa is a bigger enemy than russia can ever be, both to the world, and to american people.
here, on slashdot, with my small bio in my profile, with NYCL as friend, innumerable comments warning against dangers of capitalism, and patents, a profound understanding of the medieval nature of riaa and the feudalism they are vying for, and $5 for ascap ?
for it is how it is going to be. lets see how much donations will they collect, and how much donations will eff and others collect. im shelling out $5 right out of hand. its not much, its all i can give now, but im doing it. and, i dont even have any 'profits' to protect too.
yes i have come to that conclusion. in capitalism, there will always be minority groups with much more wealth (therefore power and influence) than the masses.
alternative is heavy social democracy. in which government, as a tool, controls the country and regulates it heavily. and taxes the wealthy to the extent that they cant amass huge wealth to lobby. works well in sweden, norway, denmark etc.
but tho, there may be a new alternative - direct democracy. a democracy in which everything is communally owned, and every kind of decision is taken by direct participation of the people. everything is operated through highly developed and efficient collaboration and decision mechanisms and automation. these have become possible only with the advent of internet.
lets get it straight ; open source was created by and developed around open source software. open communities. independent. we were here first, and we are many. we dont like closed or semi closed source stuff. we especially dont like corporations which try to 'close' the 'open' by mimicking 'open', so that they can profit. we wont play along. if we dont play along, it wont succeed. and for us to play along, you need to be really open. cydonia over. * ppkhhhhhhhh *
excuse me you oldtimers, but there is no other culprit here. as long as there is private capital, there will be stronger private capital (than the common citizens' own total) that will be able to use that capital to lobby for their own private interests, and impinge their own will and desire to all of the population. there can be no democracy, where there is such phenomenon.
how many gross distortions and misapplications do you need to experience, before you can actually get convinced that something is fundamentally wrong...

read the thread that ensued from my gp post. a lot of people elaborated on most of the stuff.
He was expecting wise, logical comments from republican crowd ? Maybe he isnt the one to give us counsel on values of comments on the internet.
may be. im not playing wow anymore. but, have i been, it would provide great ease.
or, if you are playing mmorpg games, e-sports games like wow or starcraft with numerous macros, moves and bindings.
and, will you eat your words if it finds mainstream usage ?

i forgot the resource hog part.
that compliance actually accomplishes NOTHING in regard to practical and real security considerations. its basically a whole load of bullshit.
however, if you have to get certified, just use modules for achieving that.

yeah 1 site closed down. how many other sites opened up ?
try 'a plane full of riaa/mpaa executives and lawyers'.

as simple as that. i would like to see mpaa, riaa take on russia.
