>> The open sourcing of
it's not open source. You're basically not allowed to do anything with the source other cthan the use MS defined. I would rather call that "available source"
>>Nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft.
Nobody got fired for using Linux either.
We don't care about Software patents. Software patents apply only in the USA. For the rest of the world, they are irrelevant.
>>Exactly. GPL is just as bad
Why would GPL be bad ? The GPL world works. It gains users every day.
as I said, it's not good. For correctly done security, no single organization should be in position to spoof you. Whatever the price. ( since when is price indicative of quality ??)
I don't do implementation details. Of course, the whole cert chain system needs reword. But we already know that.
>>registrars between you and the root can spoof you.
Not good.
It would be much better to require two (or more) cert chains at the same time that won't cooperate.
For example, take a cert from USA, North Korea, and India. You could only be spoofed if theese 3 CAs or their intermediary cooperate.
>>How often do you stop and look at which CA
Every time. There are addons that do exactly that. Use them.
"The two main debris fields are the ring of objects in GEO and the cloud of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO)"
it's not a problem of the same magnitude than LEO, but it will become one once you put up "square kilometers arrays of photocells or mylar reflectors". These things will just disintegrate at the smallest impact, and create a large debris cloud. This is why orbital mylar baloons are obsolete since long.
No, it's possible. But it's a trade off with safety.
>> because solar panels dont generate weapons-grade plutonium?
Yep, that's an argument.
Although, nuke plants don't generate weapon grade Pu. They just generate Pu.
>> THEY FUCKING BOMBED US.
No. They destroyed a few planes and some ships. In WWII order of magnitude, that was a slap in the face, not more. Military are there do kill and to be killed, that's their job.
Real "FUCKING BOMBING" in WWII is killing millions of civilians. Japan did it in china, USA did it in japan and germany. etc etc etc.
>> Consider that, since the end of WW2... blablabla
The nature of the nuclear weapon is still to kill many hundred thousand people at once. That did not change. It just became much more efficient at it.
The power of the 1945 bombs was terrifying the world, the power of todays weapons is still terrifying the world.
So yes, it can be compared. The problem just increased 20dB in magnitude. The USA is still the main bad actor.
>> Diesel engines are much more polluting than petrol
Not in France. Most diesel engines here have FAP filters.

There's no clean way of running windows anyway
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
