Comment Fair? (Score 1) 504

Shouldn't fair share of the maintenance cost go into the cost per kilowatt hour? Sorry, but this smells like energy providers can't take the heat and they're penalizing solar/wind power generators in an effort to make them go "the hell with it" and sell their equipment on eBay.

Comment Re:Android = Linux (being torn up) (Score 1) 187

The biggest issue with android is all the malware that was thought to be innocent software. Most of your core software for Linux is made be reputable organizations. That said, the software that make up the services people use Linux for is large and complex and requires much more work than say a phone app. Sadly, the openness of Linux can give it a bad name when ignorant fucks like yourself can't tell the difference between them.

Comment Use your heads (Score 1) 564

This is abso-fucking-lutely ri-goddamn-diculous. So many of these organizations bitching about Mozilla are relying on Javascript! I can't wrap my head around such stupidity. It's bad to use a web browser Mozilla created far before they hired a guy who donated his own money to Prop 8, but you can use a programming language he created just because you can't do business without it? Kick rocks. They guy is entitled to his opinion just like the rest of those assholes.

Comment Windows thinking (Score 0) 187

Firewalling is a windows necessity with nasty shit piggy backing in on exploits in legitimate shit, not so much in Linux, however. If you're using client applications (web browser, email client, etc) then they will only open up sockets when needed and not open ports to receive traffic. And I agree with what I read above: if you know what services you're starting, you don't need a firewall.
