Live tv and on-demand video, going through the tv cable provider's standard routes for said services. Both the article and summary acknowledge this.

Ars quotes WSJ and appears to directly contradict what you just asserted:

"Under the plan Apple proposed to Comcast, Apple's video streams would be treated as a 'managed service' traveling in Internet protocol format

The nonstandard portion. Neither ClearQAM nor IP.

What do you think "Internet protocol" is acronymed to? Are you actually as technologically incompetent as a WSJ hack?

If you don't have the source, you just need to bring the original binaries along with all of the original libraries. The kernel API calls haven't changed (though there are new ones). Getting the link path configured correctly for the old code will be a PITA, but it can be done.

Take it up with the guy who claimed "you only need a recompile".

I'm taking it up with the guy who claimed that recompiling might not be possible, and therefore implied that you might be screwed because you can't recompile.

So your point is that Linux advocates can't be believed. Thanks for making that thing certain. Case closed.

Take it up with the guy who claimed "you only need a recompile". But sure, if your (in this case) ATM user interface is has hard-linked libraries (including the GUI manager), all should be fine. Apart from your fucking ATM interface.

But that can't be so. According to Trenbreth and other morons the extra energy is hiding at the bottom of the ocean. If it's hiding there, how the hell is it generating "weather" in the US? You need to think through your hypothesis.

Gee whiz, don't the "sceptics" keep talking about El Niño and La Niña? How the hell do you think they work?

You are assuming that companies will actually have access to the source of the applications they bought, even if they were written for them instead of some off the shelf software. And that's mostly the case even when they run Linux beneath. So all this does is to change the problem from "Microsoft won't support XP after 10 years" to "I sure hope Billy Bob's Software will still support (as in just recompile) my software for the next RHEL version."

Maybe those credentials were posted on github by devels and then scraped from there. Or from google, there is a bunch of id_rsa that pop up with trivial searchs.

Anyway, 25.000 linux/unix servers looks like a very low number, considering the 500.000.000 servers running apache or nginx, even with multiple domain hosted in a lot of them.

Is that "better"? That were over a million Linux servers defaced in 2010, most of them actually rooted.

Charging at a rate of 2amps or more has been available in Android phones for years.

Yes. And it's NON-STANDARD. Get it into your skull already.

Not any more. Its now the official standard.

You mean the NEW standard, that no devices use yet and needs NEW cables that only look like the old ones.
