Because each Linux vulnerability is reported for multiple distributions. And because Linux vulnerabilities are found faster and therefore fixed faster. However you want to spin it, Windows is the one getting successfully exploited in multiple ways, so that new Windows vulnerabilities are hardly news any more, whereas its big news any time a hole shows up in Linux, and then very few fall victim to it.... partly because of the early and widespread disclosure, but more because Linux vulnerabilities typically require local access, login shell, etc. Whereas a dodgy flash file is often enough to take out a Windows box.

And it's still leaky as a sieve. That speaks to basic design flaws.

Yah, shove it. I typically have 500-600 tabs open and I like it that way. Just make it work.

I just grabbed the opera .deb package and installed it, total elapsed time roughly 30 seconds, and it is suh-weet. Thanks to whoever posted this for the suggestion. Chrome is really pissing me off these days. Firefox still likely be be my main browser because of vastly superior tab handling and actual open source project.

Especially if those automated software deployment packages like SCCM are Microsoft products.

Thanks for the bug report :)

Those shiny distributed file systems run on top of boring local filesystems.

Tux3 is a better design. Tux2 was more along the lines of ZFS and Btrfs, that is, multiply-rooted trees sharing subtrees. Tux3 is a single tree with exactly one pointer to each extent. Considerably easier to check and repair. Of course we need to see if it turns out that way so please stay tuned.

Indeed, different aims. Tux3 has the modest goal of being a light, tight and fast filesystem without ambition of also being a volume manager.

As a verteran engineer, I can tell you you're an idiot and a liability for whichever unlucky company you work for.

Yes. My 20D with 8 megapixels takes much higher quality pictures that any known cell phone, or any point and shoot with 50% more nominal pixels. It's not just the vastly better optics, it's also the quality of the sensor.

In which universe does that qualify as acceptable usability for a consumer device? Especially considering that typical high end smart phones don't even last a day, just running maps or other moderate loads.

Sounds like wishful thinking from someone who doesn't have one. SD cards are plenty fast enough for me. I would far rather have an SD card than be forced to futz around with USB cables, dongles, adapters etc. I have some Android devices with SD card and some without. I have a strong preference for the devices with SD cards. That's one of the big annoyances of the Nexus 4, no SD card. Plus, needing a special tool or a pin (problematic on an airplane) to get the SIM card out is just plain idiotic. But I digress. I note that Samsung has begun to see the error of their ways in that regard.

You're making that up. The vast majority are happy with pdf, and if a company insists on .doc I'd have my doubts about working for them.

That's quite funny. My last TV (from LG) came with a copy of the GPL because it runs Linux. I think this is pretty common. I can assure you, there are zero TVs running Windows.
