I think OP is using `public domain` in its old, Amiga-era definition, which is probably closest nowadays to freeware.

It would be a good analogy if you were talking about, say, a site which was targeted at - and largely read by - people interested in political issues.

It's perfectly reasonably to understand that the majority of Slashdot users either know what Clang/LLVM is, or are willing and capable of looking them up. Clearly, if you've not idea what Clang is, then you're going to skate on over the headline to the next stor, just like I did when I saw the headline about giving cyborgs rights.

A browser not trusting something that's not to be trusted is a positive thing. Yes, some old sites will suffer. That's how it's supposed to work. They'd better up their game. People expect security to be take more seriously these days, as there is more at stake and more muppets with a lot of time on their hands trying to attack you.

Never heard of him. Tech journalist? Slashdot employee? "First time submitter"? Proven track record of insightful commentary/accurate predictions?

Otherwise, why should I care?

> Now don't talk of Android because we know it's all fragmented.

Wow - people still say that in 2014? This is still a tech site, right? Windows has users on different sized monitors, and slightly different versions of Windows - I guess that's fragmented too.

Stupid name, looks like it was designed in the last com bubble, awful on mobile, no users, posts retarded crap about Indian takeaway deliveries.

There's scope for a rival to Slashdot, but that isn't it.

You don't have to use "repeat" in written text online because there's no chance anything is going to happen to the first instance of the text. It just wastes space and looks a little self important.

> No doubt, history is filled with all kinds of evil misogyny, racism, and homophobia..

History, yes. It was all addressed satisfactorily a long time ago. That's why you never hear about black people dying younger than white people, for example, or being over-represented in prison; why there are so many females in the boardroom, and pay is equal etc. I'm not sure why people are complaining all the time - everything is fine.

Or in china, where all of these 2mb/32mb cards come from!

It's software (hence the stupid comments about cost - it's effectively zero; android already has it, for example). Cyanogenmod can use that aspect of the AOSP stack or not, as they see fit, as can any other rom producer, or end user (if they've a rooted phone).

I'm sure with double token, torture apologist Rice on board they'll keep going for weeks yet.

From somewhere or other: "You can't shut us down. The internet is about the free exchange and sale of other people's ideas. We've done nothing wrong."

> WTF?? Another female geek role model bites the dust. She's .... gorgeous

lol! What about Mr Walrus - is he gorgeous too?

Easier to boot from a Linux USB install, download and copy the files straight onto the windows drive then reboot.

That's more a factor of their cost than their durability.
