Officer Bubbles meet Barbara Streisand. You've just ensured millions of more views of the videos and the cartoons.

Known good hosts is a good security practice and it does plenty of good. In your case you are choosing convenience over a sound security practice. It's a completely acceptable choice, but you accept all of the consequences of making that choice on the front end. Others might decide that it's simply not worth the risk to allow ssh access from a coffee shop. Personally I'd consider a system accessing ssh from a hotel room or coffee shop as an unknown host. But there are plenty of ways to verify the host is a known-good host. Implementing them does require more work, thought and layers than simply opening ssh to the world, but security isn't convenient. "Remote management technologies are for remote management." Great, telnet is a remote management technology as well, but it certainly doesn't mean that I'm opening it to the world or even local for that matter. Security practice aren't really one size fits all. What you deem an acceptable risk, isn't for me. All I can say is that because of the practices I've chosen, I don't have the same issues on my Centos boxes that the grandparent has on his.

Yawn. I can send my customers to buy a copy of Windows 7 only to find some of their existing hardware doesn't work with it. Yet the probability is high that it will work with Linux. When Vista had much publicized driver issues, all you guys were saying, "It's not MS's fault, it's the hardware manufacturers." The troll would be so much more effective if you stay consistent and a little less obvious. Another way to not be perceived as a troll is quit pretending that the internet doesn't exist on a troll of an internet forum. Two trips to the B&M indeed.

You are completely incorrect in regards to what Centos is doing and how they do it. Red Hat makes their source code to Enterprise linux versions availabel to anyone. The only things not open source are their trademarks and images. Download yourself if you like. http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/ As for the GPL well version 3 has a section that clarifies this 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. Even under GPL 2 the hassle involved in trying to avoid making your source generally available is more hassle then it's worth as there is simply no way to prevent your source code from becoming generally available.

He did say fully featured. None of those are fully featured in chrome as of yet and currently most of them can't be made fully featured.

Their increasing profitability even during a recession would provide the evidence. Also in the article Mr. Hobbs NEVER says they are concerned about future profitability. He says the are analyzing trends and concerned about "fairness" So long story short, Hobbs completely supports my argument, and you have to put words in his mouth to attempt to support your argument.

Exactly. All the discussions about TV are only relevant if you ignore the fact the Cooperative time-shifting is cheap and easy.

The major ISP's seem to disagree with you. Time Warner's COO Landel Hobbs has said himself that heavy users pose no threat to their profits. "If you are getting feedback that there is an immediate problem, nothing could be further from the truth," http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/08/time-warner-cable-profits-on-broadband-are-great-and-will-grow-because-of-caps/ Time Warner just reported a 30% increase in earnings http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704302304575213750225569156.html On top of that their bandwidth costs have been steadily decreasing. Seems pretty viable to me

A good place to start is the problematic extensions page http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions

I keep hearing these kind of arguments but reality shows us that contrary to these claims that use of GPL code is growing. The fact is that companies are used to licensing code and complying with the GPL is trivial compared with many of the other licensing steps that the average company has to comply with.

Correct, not about displacement. Big blocks have a greater distance between the cylinders.

It's a small block

And if you scratch under the surface there are many more where that came from. Like a bug where Thunderbird wouldn't respect the users preferences in regards to the default text choice in filters. Meaning Thunderbird can not filter forward a mail in plain text. The bug was open for years and only recently was it even addressed.

Somewhere in an asian bazaar you can now buy the first version of a $299 "CrumblePad" in either pink, lime green or yellow.

Large volume container shipping will begin in January, and the "Disneay" branded child friendly version with preloaded pirated Disney movies dubbed to chinese is in the works.
