One thing's for sure - we're all aware of the conference now...something which wasn't true 24 hours ago.

Yep, install utorrent in windows. Then you can watch your virus,botnet client and utorrent bitcoin miner fight it out. Thanks, but I'm with RMS on this one.

Whippersnapper! If only he'd listened to his elders he wouldn't have gone done that wrong path. "All phenomena are impermanent", said the Buddha. Although, had he known he was going to have to deal with the Web 2, post MTV generation he'd have probably gone for something a little more pithy; "you say potato, I saw potato", perhaps.

Believe me, they'll be getting vulnerability scans whether they want them or not! (They just won't get the results in their chosen format!)

On the internet, everyone gets a free pentest!

Heh...just been listening to a bunch of Zappa bootlegs at work.

Seriously, no-one needs some horrific "special perfect programming music" - you just need to pick from what proper music you've already got and listen to that. If that's not possible, you just haven't listened to enough music. You heard that nice Mr Berio..."keep going!" !

You say that, but the faithheads won't be happy even with that. They'll probably just continue the "testing our faith" line, perhaps suggesting the devil put them there or something. Of course, they won't offer any proof for this but.. you know....look at my robes, hat.. come on...you can trust me.

This is just the "narrative", isn't it? You can see the same events being given different narratives depending on the race, political persuasion etc of the victim. Nothing at all new here if you're even remotely interested in how event get described in any medium.

Yeah, sniffing and snorting like animals. Seriously what's that about?

I left when they ran a "story" about Indian food delivery. Has it improved yet? I see they've not changed the stupid name. For all its faults, I see no reason to drop Slashdot for a site that looks worse than slashbdot did 15 years ago, fewer stories and less than 1000 readers.

I can't read sig-files - the text is superimposed on the line of text below that.

Well, in an old school beta program, that would have been an alpha-release, at best!

No different to trusting Microsoft to not send your data to them when they do virus checks. You're already trusting the food chain, doctors etc.

You're confusing open source and free. It's open source. You can see the source, use it, change it, and fork it, subject to certain restrictions, such as not calling it Truecrypt. Seems fair to me. Whether this or that distro has decided to include it or not tells us very little.

How can they prove that I am not a member?

What "VPN industry"? To the extent it exists at all it's just tiny. And they're going to get legislated out of existence around the world in the next few years. No government - driven by the twin demands of the US government (ok, and their own security services) - and a reactionary, right wing media (following the rules of its wealthy, right wing proprieters, who've invested in and therefore benefit from large corporations who are all in bed with most western governments because they don't need to pay tax that way) - will allow people to communicate in private because "that's what terrorists do" (and people who want to challenge/change the above)
