I predict a respone that is a bureaucraticly worded 'Fuck you.' The FCC is fully bought and paid for, they already just let one of its commissioners take a blatant bribe from Comcast under the condition that they give them the ok to merge with NBC Universal.

Now that Zuck has a good 12 billion to his name, he is really desperately trying to bury this skeleton in his closet by throwing money at it. Come on, we've all been 17 and unemployed at one time, and would sign just about any piece of paper that would promise us better work than bagging groceries. Sure Ceglia is a grade A scumbag, but so is Zuck, and he deserves to have a stupid mistake like this come back and bite him in the ass now that his ass is actually worth something.

Microsoft pays someone to go do a PR prank like this. Remember when they paid a crew to drop a giant Internet Explorer logo on the front lawn of Mozilla's campus?

Frankly, a company with the corporate culture like Microsoft's pulling stunts like this puts an image in my head of creepy late 30's to early 40's guys pretending like they're in a college frat again.

I think they'll be fine with it. It'll give them another excuse to cry to the government for subsidiaries "for infrastructure upgrades," and then pocket the money instead...again.

I've notice that if an algorithm on Facebook needs revising and it doesn't have something to do with showing more advertisements to more people in more intrusive ways, it usually gets pushed to the back of the queue.

And I just finished the long and arduous process of teaching a dozen of my relatives older than 40 what a phishing attack is and how to spot it.

Thanks for making my life miserable again, Mozilla.

Great to see that Cray is joining in on getting a slice of the money IBM is raking in through providing computing products to the USA vs. China dick waving competition over who has the faster supercomputers.

Nothing but a complete moneypit if we have no actual experiments to run on them that require that kind of scale. It's no different than watching 15 year olds argue about which of their desktops can play Call of Duty at a better framerate.

There's an American flag and American military aerospace equipment on the moon. Technically, its a US sovereign territory. Nice try though.

This is Fedora we're talking about. The only thing I'm running Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, et. al. on are high performance workstations and production servers, where I need a good, solid, time tested static firewall that I know is going to work, every time.

If "the masses" want to continue to disregard RTFMing and want a hand-holding experience like everything else computing-based in their lives, then they can go play with Ubuntu, or Mac OS.

Now get off my lawn.

/sbin/service iptables save

You really CAN'T take the time out of your day to type that?

Goldman-Sachs claims that an online media and directory website written by some snot nosed 20something is worth over 50 billion dollars.

Bubble? Yeah.

AIM was powered by a server and protocol called OSCAR: the Open System for Communication in Realtime. Ironically, this protocol was about as closed and proprietary as you can get, and required reverse engineering over a span of years before AOL released TOC (Talk to Oscar) and TOC2 to developers.

Didn't Facebook just recently call their datacenter architecture "open" too?...

Our campaign contributors and special interest lobbies^H^H^H^H^H^Hintelligence agencies have indicated that pirates^Hterrorists are causing massive profit losses to our chief campaign supporters^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hinfringements on our patriotic American freedoms, so therefore we decided we now have the power to confiscate any domain name for any reason without due process. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

What?
