How is that a reason to mod someone down? I should have modded you down for that stupid post.

And having done this, I've yet to run into a library compatibility issue that wasn't fixable with symlinks, though my test suite is still running.

FreeBSD has never been the OS of choice to use for your cheap knock off version of the real thing, FreeBSD is made for servers without cheap desktop versions of server hardware, its not Linux.

Ahh, the idiot modded up.

All security on computers is security through obscurity.

Encryption is by definition security through obscurity. As is using hashing and other fingerprinting techniques. The obscure nature of the encryption key or input to the has is exactly what makes it all work.

When you repeat that same retarded phrase like its a bad thing all you're doing showing those of us with an actual clue that you're capable of repeating what you heard someone else stay but you utterly fail to understand what it means and why its said.

Following up to one of your replies below and illustrating your failure to comprehend how silly you sound ...

Give me all your encryption keys ... SSH, SSL, passwords, and personal bank account information, date of birth, address, phone numbers and other obscure private information that actually protects your systems and your life.

Stop repeating shit you utterly fail to understand, it just makes you look stupid.

Or a green card holder.

Bill Gates is chairman in name only, is he not?

This would seem fitting since it is the company that be he built....it's kind of shitty to force people out of the thing they made.

Alternatively, perhaps Bill Gates will be to Microsoft as the Schwartzes were to Grey Matter...

You are in a minority. The ports are not as fragile as you claim, or there would be far more outcry.

While something better could be made standard, it isn't and should not be a priority.

You really shouldn't repost articles from other websites in their entirety. You've just taken advertising dollars away from information week, and indirectly from the authors pocket, and given them to Dice, and indirectly, idiots like Timothy lord.

That's lose - lose all the way around.

Yes, and yes.

You can turn off parallax in the settings, which makes it pretty much like previous versions of iOS.

You can also set the wallpaper to any image you want.

This story is just some douchebags blog, using iOS to get people's attention and page views

You can never downgrade, it's always been upgrade only with jail breaking and hacks.

Putting Wall Street on Wall Street is the first example of STUPID in that equation, the rest follows quickly from there.

Every company I've ever worked with that has datacenter in manhattan JUST so they can say 'We have a datacenter in XXX' as a bragging right. (Note, never worked with financial traders)

Yes, SOME companies want the shortest length of transit to the markets, MOST of those data centers are marketing fluff for ignorant companies who think showing how wasteful you can be with money is impressive.

Pfft. A single checkbox is all that's needed:

"Reduce effectiveness to comply with US Government standards."

No, not even a little fucking bit.

The corporate version of 'open' is ENTIRELY different than 'Free Software' be pretty much any definition you can find. Stallman and cult of GNU like to warp open source into something it isn't. They try to co-opt the term into meaning something it isn't and then bitch about people not doing it their way.

Open source means you can see the source. Period. It does NOT mean you can do anything with the source. It does not mean the software is 'free', in fact it could be under the most restrictive license terms on the planet and still be open source. For the right fee, Windows is open source. And yes, open source has not a god damn thing to do with what it takes to gain access to the source, such as paying for it.

Open in the real world doesn't have anything at all to do with Stallman, GNU or the FSFs view of copyleft.

H264 is open for example, as are the mpeg standards, my every definition that matters to a company trying to get something done, they are open standards. According to Stallman and the FSF they are evil bastards that need to die a horrible death because OMG NOT REQUIRES LICENSE FEES.

Do not taint open source by even associating it with 'free' software, it is no such thing.

No, he didn't.

He took years to write emacs and help from others.

Oh, you didn't mean emacs... you meant hurd ... again, he didn't do it alone and I'd argue he didn't pull it off any better than my half assed OS I cobbled together during my more bored years, which also depends on the work of others to be usable.

Stallman did not invent open source, nor start 'the revolution'. It was there before him. It wasn't his idea. While he has contributed much to open source, he has also personally harmed it more than just about anyone I can think of. His religion may appear great at first glance, but it is, just like pretty much every religion, warped into his personal agenda and crusade against everyone who doesn't agree with him in entirety.

His behavior in public forums and disrespect for others around him is a good example of you should ignore him.

I suspect, the same sort of vigor will be unleashed against this comment. -5 disagree after all.
