Or maybe Facebook and friends are just scumbag companies.
That is a fact. So is the sad reality that there are many people like Matheus, ShanghaiBill, pr0fessor etc, that will blame the victim, regard doing so as trivial, or even humorous. What's worse is they live in denial of themselves (stupid) and truly believe they aren't misogynists. (scared and bluffing).

targeted attacks like this are OS agnostic,
Correct, provisionally. Targeted attacks are OS agnostic - if designed to be OS agnostic.
In the case of Regin (did you even read the lead before shooting your idiot mouth?) it is not OS agnostic. It affects Windows only. So does Stuxnet
His point was...
... not what you believe it was. I quoted the specific point I was replying to.
Again - try reading before shooting your idiot mouth. It's not like you are incapable of focus or intelligent output. Perhaps you're having a bad day or it's just confirmation bias from some sort of emotional over-investment.
It could have been part of a suite of tools that include ones for other OS. But it is not, hence it's not relevant, and like the OP in this thread - the opposite of "informative".
Nowhere have I made any statement about any OS being more or less secure than another.

how can one verify that this future "certificate authority that issues free certificates to any website" hasn't issued a cert to the NSA for your domain? is it possible?
Good point! Let's not do anything. Inaction is always the best course of action.
How can we work out if baby isn't still dirty? It could be - right? Therefore it's likely (sigh), and if it's likely - we'd better throw out the baby with the bathwater.
/. agressive armchair apathy - the new "insightful"
In other news there are rumours of a CA being broken into - or maybe it was several - or maybe someone with a few thousand just bought a fraudulent certificate. And those who can't/won't stump up a hundred dollars lower the standard
Lucky I'm just making this shit up
How could you possible check? (if only there was some sort of looky-uppy facts com-put-ah....)
How do we know you don't work for the NSA?

Ian Jackson is a man of principle, and the way the final vote was done within the TC [Technical Committee] was certainly objectionable: he was in the middle of discussing what should be on the ballot when Bdale Garbee called for an immediate vote on the same subject but with a totally different ballot. Then when the vote came to a tie, Bdale used the "casting" vote, meaning he had two votes where all the other TC members had only one. Furthermore Bdale's friend and close business partner Keith Packard had just recently joined the TC.
Furthermore this GR [General Resolution] isn't about reversing the TC decision nor in changing the default init system for the Jessie release -- it's about giving the other init systems a fair chance by making them possible to use by making the bugs in packages causing them to break RC [Release Critical]. That's all.
And he did bring this GR up in March, but at that time the Debian community was more hopeful that support would continue for the other init systems, but instead support for everything else has waned -- Ubuntu immediately decided to switch to systemd and drop upstart, and there have been issues with support for other packages concerning the standard sysv-rc init -- all of which Ian had expected to happen.
The main objection from Debian developers concerns the timing of this GR only because the Jessie release is nearing, but
I'd encourage anyone reading the above tripe to read the debian-project lists and form their own opinion based on facts. Failure to do so is problematic.
Problems I had with systemd on jessie before giving up..
1/ When using virtualbox and mount my shared vboxsf using fstab... system died. No login prompt... nada just stuck.
2/ In another case (i still dont know the root cause) I got the emergency console with the messsage to fix the problem after login... But unfortunately I couldn't type anyhting at the prompt
3/ Jetty did'nt start. Nothing in systemd journal, nothing in
Error messages? cat
You do know that Jessie is not Stable - right?
It's possible that your lack of literacy might by an obstacle... (simple is an synonym for what?)
Debian wanted an init system for the linux kernel - and the KFree-BSD kernel, and the Hurd kernels. Reassess you suggestions in that light and don't forget it's the developers who have implement this - ask the impossible and lose developers. It is that simple.
I expect I'll get down-voted to obscurity for bringing facts to this ignorance fest/celebration of One-bookian, Unix-deluded, festival of ignorance.
Did I mention that Debian never dropped alternative init systems? Too late - cue the conservative hate.
The hysterical left has latched onto pseudo estrogens from plastics as the new boogie man.
The hysterical latch onto nothing. Seriously.
Birth control pills contain substances chemically like oestrogen.
No shit?
What did you think was in them?
Which ones? Beyaz, Gianvi, Loryna, Ocella, Safyral, Syeda, Yasmin, Yaz, or Zarah? Ethynyl-estradiol.

And why is this not "the best source" - peer reviewed... did I miss some bad science?
I thought an experiment based on a false belief that estrogen from the Pill is the same estrogen that is found in waterways was bad science - like the flawed UK research it was "based on".
The researcher refers to "estrogen-like" in the science press, but the term "birth control pills" is quoted in the non-science press. Need for publicity, bad reporting, or both?

HTML 5 is ideal but one of my problems with using pure HTML and JavaScript for certain tasks is that implementation can vary wildly and performance even more so. Browser A might implement only a part of the standard, Browser B might implement the entire standard and Browser C has no support and worse is when all of them fully support the standard but Browser A is super slow compared to Browser B and Browser C is basically unusable.
I guess that's the price you pay for deciding to ride the bleeding edge. When HTML5 reaches the Recommendation status perhaps the browser developers will concentrate on supporting it (the standard) rather than speculating on which of their proposed implementations will give "the bigger market share"/"scratch their biggest itch". Until then there will continue to be a lot dog-waving by the tails.
Oh wait... HTML 4 was a different dog, same leg action - but good developers worked with the differences.
Bleeding edge has a great view, but not everyone enjoys it e.g. nothing more annoying than listening to butthurt little boys that insist on riding bikes without seats.
