Yes.

Take a look at Mozilla's trusted CAs. It is a joke. They need to be harsher. First abuse cut them off. It also needs to be easier for users to remove trusted CA's from Firefox.

Read the account of how WoSign handed out the key to githib.

Yes, these idiotic posts get lots of responses... But do you really want to be the next Gawker?

For any young programmers out there, forget these stupid polls. Instead, take a look at job postings on craigslist, indeed, etc. to see what your local market demands. This post, for instance, excludes c# which is a very marketable language. Ditto w/ SQL.

If this is the reason that Comcast modems broadcast xfinitywifi, this will fail just as anything relying on xfinitywifi does.

You seem to be advocating the user is responsible for their actions, a la the car model.

Oddly, you seem to an OS recommendation. Surely you recommend OpenBSD, correct?

You also realize anti-virus software is garbage, right?

As geeks, you should aready know this story.

Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) was supposed to mandate C-level knowledge and responsibility for all actions. Yet here we are with no SOX charges.

WF's C-levels were either aware of the activity or ignorant. If ignorant then this is a SOX violation.

As a bonus, this is Elizabeth Warren's province, and she is exposed for the toothless sellout she really is.

FYI, a much better article on the subject.

The incredible -- or just-precious -- part of it is that InfoWorld believes there is enough of any critical mass of programmers or software industry decision-makers who still frequent Slashdot to make this a worthwhile media buy for them.

Well, I'm both a programmer and a decision maker, and I really wonder about the motivation of someone who would pick Java for a new project. Oracle is beyond toxic.

I'm a certified Java Programmer (1.4) and really don't advertise it any more. Oracle's Java is dead to me.

For those wondering why the distrust, here is a good article describing why the US govt is not to be trusted.

After NoteStudio folded, I was lost until I found Evernote. Being able to link notes together, wiki-style, is a signifiant feature that's lost in many note-taking apps, at least the ones I was looking at when we lost NoteStudio. Maybe I'll look at OneNote again. It was a dog when I last used it: Too complicated and slow.

SF has covered the suicide aspect in the excellent but tragically little-known Mockingbird written by Walter Tevis, who also wrote _The Man Who Fell To Earth_ and _The Color Of Money_.

Suicide is a good point. SF has addressed this in the excellent but tragically little-known Mockingbird written by the author of _The Man Who Fell to Earth_ and _The Hustler_.

PS - Why can't I use html underlining???

I haven't seen anyone pitch Pale Moon so far, so here goes. I've been using it since it first came out and have no complaints. It is what Firefox used to be.
