I wish I could stab you in the face, you fucking rube.
I work in the game industry and I'm a Linux veteran from 1991. I use Windows on my desktop because I need to test games.
If this is what you mean by 'rube'

I'm not getting it. Try stabbing your screen harder.
So wheres the part about the linux desktop gaming market?
The desktop gaming market is pretty insignificant in the big picture and talking of Linux not 'setting wall street on fire because of lack of gaming market' is just dumb.
Given how sliw the procurement process works and at the end you get the lowers"qualified" bidder who may or may not provide what tou need it isno wonder people bypass it any way they can. Of course, DOD can't just have one giant blanket purchase agreement because that wouldn't spread the wealth around to enough businesses in as many congressional districts as possible.
$45 million is like one drone strike on a wedding party.
How much are companies willing to pay to get into that hot, hot linux desktop gaming market?
I say this joking as a Linux user who realizes the Linux market isn't exactly setting wallstreet's pants on fire.
Linux is actually setting wallstreet's pants on fire:

Theres not much Microsoft in there.
Marijuana is federally illegal, so no.
Huh, so the federal government can interfere with interstate commerce...
I guess thats its main purpose, interfering with the freedom of the states to interact with one another how they want.
In the US, free trade between states has never meant individual states couldn't outlaw certain things. It does, however, mean they cannot limit shipment of those things through their state when going between two states where it is legal.
Some states where fireworks are illegal have sellers who play games, selling them inside the state near the border, if you will sign a form stating you are shipping it out. "Sure thing!" says the 18 year old.
Does this mean its legal to ship marijuana between Colorado and Washington?
Why is it that a rifle with a wood stock == good, but a fold out black stock on an "assault rifle" == scary evil murder weapon?
If you have a rifle with a wood stock you can knock someones brains out with it. Hit them with the plastic folding stock and you'll just piss them off.
So the wooden stock weapon is obviously way more dangerous.
If true.
1. Those are already open.
2. It does improve security by closing other holes.
So why not use it?
False sense of security
"This... legislation will ensure that Americans have accurate, consistent information about their food...
I think you mean "this legislation will ensure that Americans have no way of knowing they're being sold GMO food."
Hiding information makes it more accurate. Duh.
If you know nothing about your food then you know no incorrect facts about your food.
Ban all food labeling!
Only if you are dumb.
This is Open Source from the NSA every security deeb on the planet will tear into it hopping to get a paper out of some exploit and big consulting contracts.
Odds are really good it is rock solid.
It won't have backdoors; it'll have omissions. The NSA will have had this approved by the rest of 5 eyes (Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and British spy agencies) and will have taken great care to make sure that it doesn't fix security holes that they want left open.
Long ago, they released configuration steps and tools to lock down windows 2000. It wasn't just sent to government agencies, but opened up for businesses, too.
They did the same thing with XP, iirc.
It makes sense. It's useful for the NSA to keep computers secure from script kiddies. Doesn't matter to them -- they break into routers, not computers, for the most part
But you can bet this won't close holes that the rest of 5 eyes needs. If GCHQ, ASIS, NZSIS or CSIS are using some vulnerability the NSA wouldn't be doing their jobs if they blocked it.
In that case:
1. Is this place within US borders.
If answer is Yes, use previous method.
If answer is No, claim the land and raise a confederate flag or whatever you fancy.
When you are *on* the border you have no rights no matter what your citizenship. Its not within US borders.
And no, you can't claim it as your own sovereign territory.
...does she have the right answers? IE:
1. I am an American citizen, and I have the right to enter my country.
2. I plead the fifth.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Its on the border. The only people who have any rights are the authorities (DHS et al)
Which in no way changes that both the Flash and Java plugins are horrible, flaky, insecure, and deprecated.
As I said, you pretty much have to keep one browser for all the shit you shouldn't trust, and one for the rest.
But don't be surprised when the horrible, flaky, insecure and deprecated plugins demonstrate why they're all those things.
When your company sticks you with garbage, you're stuck with garbage. It sucks, but the solution isn't for everybody else to try to make Flash and Java suck less when used on web pages.
Mozilla are protecting most of their users. Your IT department can protect you.
If Flash is going to be on it's 38th exploit of the month, I applaud Mozilla disabling it. Because it really always has been a pile of shit, and has always been insecure beyond belief.
Yes its true, companies make you use unsecure, crappy browser plugins to manage their hardware. Companies like Supermicro, Dell, Cisco, the list just goes on and on.
I'm okay with the warning/enable system in FF, but I really wish they'd add a global button of "yeah yeah, fuck off and enable it because I said so and I'll take the risk" for when I really need to get stuff done and I'm tired of having to click on the flash box on every damned site.
exactly!
I want a "I know what I'm doing and only using this browser on known sites just get out of my way and let me do my fucking job" browser.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
