A fool's drivel repeated often enough will some day end up in the lexicon, especially in the moden age of instant mass communications, but that does not make it correct.
Uh, actually it kinda does.
It's why we now call that tasty fruit an orange, and not a norange, for example.
You're either full of shit or your eyes are crap. I have a media player with an OLED display
I don't suppose it occurred to you that, perhaps, not all OLED displays are created equally?
Try engaging your brain before spouting invective next time.
And how much of an impact do you think that would actually have on the military's ability to do any of this stuff? Hint: it's about the same as the amount of damage a bulldozzer would suffer if it rolled right over you.
or anything defined as 'evil' by a FSF committee.
Trying to define an objective standard of something as subjective as "evil" is bad enough, but asking a committee to do it?!
Most people wouldn't even be able to flush their toilet because urban water supplies largely rely on electric pumps
Correction: they'd be able to flush once. Make it count!
I have a similar issue with my contacts, and was told it was for the same reason. The corrected area in both laser surgery and when wearing contacts doesn't cover the entire pupil when it's fully dilated, as it is in the dark. So I reach for the ever reliable specs when I want to go stargazing.
Perhaps if you'd read more than the headline you'd see that this is not what IR remotes and lasers have been doing for ages, at all.
Seriously, saying "fiber optic cables from thin air" is an idiotic statement.
It's actually a pretty good summation of a very clever bit of engineering. What's your beef?
It's not original. And it's not creative. And it's certainly not funny anymore.
I agree. And yet, I recognise that this is just my opinion, and I don't expect everyone else to confirm to my sense of humour.
Right. Because posts like yours in response to what is actually quite an interesting and newsworthy event in the commercial space sector - and not just another crazy pipe dream from old man Musk - aren't masturbatory at all.
a lot more vertical than usual
You clearly know nothing about extrapolation. The more legs you break, the faster it goes!
Obviously the solution is to break one of your own legs to level the playing field.
Your welcome.

But with access to the source code, it's easily possible to verify that the binary supplied corresponds to the source.
Is it that easy? My understanding was that you'd at least have to have identical versions of the compilation tools to have any hope of coming close to a bit-for-bit match on the binary.
If you really want to do something about malware, disable javascript by default.
What if you want to do something about malware, but don't want the hassle of re-enabling javascript when you actually want it to work (because, contrary to popular belief, it can actually be employed usefully)? What if you're too lazy to install another piece of software, or just don't want to install another piece of software? What if, god forbid, someone has different an idea on what to do about malware to you?
"Automatic handling of pdf and ogg files" - I have a pdf reader already. I dont need another one
Well, good news! Because as you carefully omitted to quote, "...if no other software is available to do so." So it'll be just like you don't have another PDF reader.
TL:DR; this isn't how I use computers, therefore this isn't how anyone should use computers
I came in here for an argument!

I've no idea what that means but I feel dirty after reading it.
