How are they not real police? They have been given police powers.

Show your math, please.

Can you prove that? The site is geared towards torrents, but it doesn't imply the legality of those torrents.

If the site happens to have mainly illegal torrents, that is not a fault of the site.

Google sells far more than just adspace. Google sells information.

The others being performance and functionality related. I don't like ad's due to the security risk, and they can slow down my machine and make it very fucking hard to see the article.

If your site has harmless ad's, that is one thing.

On the other hand, if your site can only survive by being paid for with ads, you need a new business model.

Yeah. I mean Star Trek get's a pass because all the aliens share our DNA....but the fact the most aliens in Sci-Fi are basically human is pretty sad.

What a lack of imagination.

For example, female aliens shouldn't have breasts. Human breasts are an anomaly in the animal kingdom...why would that be a common feature among aliens?

Luckily it's on the internet, and they can skirt around it.

Nothing stopping from Europeans paying money in SUD to Google USA, and Google's services will reach Europeans just fine from outside of Europe.

No Sir. I said a security company. Not a company with a security department.

Actually, I am a security professional, working for one of the largest security companies in the industry.

It's clear you are not however.

It contained nested quotes. I see no text that can be attributed to you.

The OP does not inaccurately malign the attitude of the kernel develops towards security bugs. Their stance is widely known.

The examples I used in my post were just that, examples. They were not meant to be specific to this story, as I think the issue is greater than just this story.

Excuse me, but what flamebait? I did not insult you or your argument, instead I made a valid counter argument.

Oh, and my point wasn't that the maintainers are rude. My point is that the security industry keeps insisting the the Linux team practice responsible disclosure, and they keep arguing there is no need or benefit.

Stability and security are not mutually exclusive.

Although if you care about stability, then you should also care about security since many malicious attacks can affect stability.

OpenBSD is and mostly always has been a joke.

"Secure by default" isn't the same as auditing a few core services and disabling the rest.

They do a great job of maintaining OpenSSH though.
