I prefer PFSense on a netgate appliance.

For length, at least, our system is more natural. You can easily divide a foot, for example, into thirds, halves, quarters. Not so much with base 10.

Temperature, mass, etc came about in the same way.

Nature isn't base 10, other than the number of fingers and toes we have.

If you are using an Airport's WiFi without connecting to your trusted VPN, you'll get what you deserve. Airports are a wonderful place to play "Yes, I am that AP" and other fun games while bored hackers wait for their flights.

And of course Quake being released on Linux ahead of windows.

Now 'designers' will believe even more that they can be engineers.

Those same technologies were freely available to anybody to use. If you didn't take advantage of it and, worse, didn't analyze your business processes and make them better, how can you blame those who did? Also, I now see smaller companies leveraging tech a lot more efficiently, and using open source a whole lot more than the big guys, so they are ahead of them, mainly out of necessity.

...would be a nice start.

I'd be happy if they could get kenwood, alpine, and other aftermarket head unit manufacturers on board. But these guys hate open systems. Friggin' pioneer wants around $300+ just for a navigation add on, last I checked.

I thought those things were just a fancy replacement for clay pigeons.

I'd feel sorry for your not getting /. right, but I'm not dyslexic!

Devil's advocate:

What if that were a sarcastic comment aimed at the lack of help people in Africa get?

One can spin this however they want...

This was my exact question. What is the infection vector? I don't care what software is installed, but how it gets there in the first place. If it's not exploiting a flaw in the OS itself, then it's just user stupidity.

This exists on the wdtvlive. Also, plays pretty much any format you throw at it.

I use a Roku (ha!) soundbridge for my music :-) But I only really use it to stream. For my own collection, I just use my phone or mp3 player directly.

Check out the wdtvlive plus. It plays pretty much any file format I've thrown at it, and can mount drive shares, or just use a media streaming server. Its internet stuff is ok, but that's not what I use it for.

Another vote for the wdtv live (I have a few plus models). It plays everything you throw at it, and can use network mounts or a streaming server. You can even use an alternate firmware to host a web server, torrent client, NFS mounts, etc. Not sure if it is still being maintained, and for my use, the stock firmware works great.
