Not really, the nvidia driver uses autotools to install.
instructions from http://www.nvidia.com/object/l...
$ tar xvzf NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf NVIDIA_GLX.tar.gz
$ cd NVIDIA_kernel
$ make install
$ cd../NVIDIA_GLX
$ make install
It's the GUI tools the distro came up to manage the install which do the anoying are you sure, and click click.
Having the repository there is still a huge security advantage, even if it takes a few more step with the GUI (which is simply a drawback of the interface). I agree that if you venture outside the repository there are challenges, but it's risky as well so in a way perhaps a good thing. Personally what th solution is going to be something like docker that can leverage container technology to isolate third-part apps from messing with the base system.
Freenet is a little too anonymous. A freesite isn't hosted on a particular computer, rather it is just released and migrates and is cached based on people looking accessing it. You can't delete a listing, and updates can take a while to propogate.
A large chuck was porn, not specifically child porn. Makes since as several countries try to filter all explicit material from the Internet, and one of the main aims of the tor project is to bypass filters and firewalls.
Pretty much this. Open source works, but only when you can actually get eyes looking at the code. If you incorporate mission-critical software that works good enough already, you're not likley to be motivated to get involved with the project. The BSD's are sort of a cathederal project, but looking at all the parts systematically is usefull to see problem areas before they blow up in your face.
jones_supa writes: Another day, another corporate network intrusion. Nvidia has reportedly been breached in the first week of December with the attack compromising personal information of the employees. There is no indication that other data has been compromised. This is according to an email sent out by the company's privacy office and Nvidia's SVP and CIO Bob Worwall on December 17th. It took Nvidia a couple of weeks to pick up all the pieces and assess the incident. It appears that the issue was pinned down to an employee or several employees getting their personal data compromised outside of the company network. After that, the information was used to gain unauthorized access to the internal corporate network. Nvidia's IT team has taken extensive measures since then to enhance the security of the network against similar attacks in the future.

But organizing fully public information into a user-friendly form has gotten him sued by United and Orbitz who are less than enthralled by his activities and are accusing his not-for-profit site of "unfair competition" and promotion of "strictly prohibited" travel. Sounds like some large corporations need to brush up on the first amendment to the United States Constitution.
