Open source code wasn't originally a feature, it was taken for granted. The perverse idea of "proprietary" software only gained a foothold much, much later.
This has nothing to do with terrorists winning, and everything to do with people who are friends and associates of those that are in power, taking advantage of a fictitious threat scenario, and cashing in on it. It's greed, plain and simple.
I think you'll find that's the textbook definition of terrorism.
It's built in. Firefox is *the only major browser* that doesn't give its users more control over JS than a global on/off switch buried 3 menus deep. The relevant bug has been given the silent treatment for a decade, so it's safe to say they don't give a shit at this point.
Mine doesn't even know what IPv6 is. A few months ago they force-upgraded us to ADSL2 and sent everyone a replacement Netgear piece of trash with non-upgradable firmware and no debug mode backdoor.
I remember that name mentioned the last time one of these stories about fucking over a downstream service provider came up. It was only a few weeks ago too.
If two of these events happening so soon in succession isn't a big enough warning sign for their other customers to start running, then nothing will be.
I'm using a HD4350. Biggest news I've noticed lately is that it now shows up in lm_sensors output, and the gallium driver can render Minecraft properly albeit slowly. At this rate of progress it'll probably have fast 3D in a few months, then the sugar on top like OpenVG. And it won't suddenly stop working on the whim of one company a few years down the line - that's why I don't buy nVidia any more.
Slashdot Mirror
Ping flood it from two 56k lines instead of just the one?
Remember the days when posts like that would be dismissed as crackpot rambling? Good times.
Now that they've patented it, all the other big players won't be able to do it and it'll be easier to adblock from one central origin.

IE had its zones feature several years before Firefox existed.
Nah, we're going to do this the right way. We're going to slashdot them.
Since you're so sure of yourself, you should have no problem explaining what's worse about it, right?
Go ahead and whine all you want. We'll be right over here using the language you pretend doesn't exist.
I tried looking at slashcode once, out of curiosity. It's a scary dark place and I'm not going back there again.

No, and for this reason.
How many tests do each have, and how many of those do they fail?

The sort of people that buy iPhones in the first place
Not if you actually believe Phoronix, the Iraqi Information Minister of tech blogs.
It's a modem-operated ink cartridge draining device.
Given the contempt they apparently hold for their own users, I don't think they're concerned all that much with protecting those users' data in the first place.

Does Git actually have a test-suite test to simulate a collision? Is there data loss involved?
Q: How can you tell someone's a libertarian without asking?
A: They'll tell you.

Yeah. Don't give Namco free mindshare and they won't punish you.
You're missing a few zeroes on the end there.
First hole? You mean the one where people paid $599 for something advertised as Linux-compatible, which turned out to be a bait-and-switch scam?
