What say he's a buddy of them?

"Kid" wants to stay alive / not be imprisoned and doomed for life.
(And risked it all to tell everyone what he knew, and you people are trash-talking him for that.)

Yay, how awful of him!

He fled to safety.

Which nations are most likely to be amused by your reveals and won't fold over for US diplomacy?

Also it's not like he got a lot of offers?

Yeah. Snowden is taking away your freedom!

Like really! ... .. no.

It's a shame we didn't fought over him.

Or he just want to push his agenda.

"Hey US, why are you worse than Russia?"

If Russia is better, it works.
If Russia is worse but lie then maybe it get reveaked and still works.
If Russia was as bad and admitted it it would still work.

You're not a one dollar gut but you don't beat the $ 3.7-7.7 average? =P

For the weekly bundles the second tier is $ 6.

One have to beat $1 to get the Steam keys. I could see how the trading cards may eventually add up to that but harder with say $4.5 on a regular one or $6 on a weekly one.

The again I've only used one game of the what? ~4-500 I've bought so far? (Not all on Steam.)

"It told me the game required Windows XP or better so I installed Linux."

But do you really get more money back from the cards than you pay for the bundles?

You only buy at $1?

Or do it because you kinda want the games anyhow and they become cheaper if you sell the badges?

Without seeing it?

They patch at random and let evolution take care of the rest? ..

The United States would be in a lot better shape if people protected privacy, protected the freedom to assemble/protest, and fought campaign funding abuse ( Citizens United, etc ) the way the NRA fights for guns. It would be a lot more secure in freedoms as well as its physical safety.

Is this happened a closed source product I guess the question whatever it would had been on purpose or not and whatever any closed source product could be trusted would had been way steamier here on /.

Also of course regardless of whatever the product is open source or propitary and paid for you can't from that draw any conclusions about the skills of the individual who have written the code but if it's a high prestige brand/project I guess chances are higher they have been more picky than if it's some small rather unknown one individual thing.

The idea was to make it a point that you for instance may not want to trust the individuals who roll their own packages for your Linux distribution of choice and download from random page or trust THISISTHEBEST___INTHEWORLDBUTITSNOTAWELLKNOWNPRODUCT from someone rather unknown for instance.

But I guess it all fails with this being OpenSSL which I feel is a high prestige / well-known product and where safety should be important and still it simply failed.

Somewhat related I noticed that Fedora run OpenSSH by default and with the defaults (PermitRootLogin yes) and listening to the whole world which imho is completely retarded and I don't see why one would want to have that the default. I guess it could be argued that "Hey, someone may need that to access the computer after installation!" but I guess in that case let them set that up in the installer or make a special installation with such settings and really, do they use the regular installer but have no keyboard and screen hooked up so they can turn it on if they want to afterwards?

It did seemed like none of the BSDs ran sshd by default. Which imho is much more reasonable. Whatever to allow root or not as default I guess one could argue on. Since the OpenSSH default is PermitRootLogin yes I guess it make some sense to keep that the default rather than changing it but I guess there has been some argument about that one too. A way of rescuing a poorly setup installation? Possibly better (imho) to just force people to redo it correctly if they mess up and really need some way to get in.

And regarding trusted source code, prestige projects and whatever anyone is actually watching the code and finding the bugs. What happened with the claim about some backdoor in was it OpenBSD or OpenSSH? Was it just bullshit or something real? I guess the first question would be whatever anything/it was actually found, because without that the answer would of course be "we don't know" =P

Guess I'm off-topic enough to not take it even further so I'll stop there :)

Unfortunately Gnome 3 pushed me back to ovlwm and xfce. I have a feeling there are a significant number of users (and posters in this thread) in my situation.

It's a little sad because a few years ago, the Linux Desktop was really really great (especially with Gnome 2 + compiz fusion). These days, I really don't feel that way. I wish I could get myself to like KDE.

Wasn't Sun the primary funder of Gnome development?

This one just in:

ARM is starting to become more competitive and some people think their portables are adequate ;D
