There is NO WAY that spam will ever be personalized enough to make it become priority mail.

If it can be done, it will be done.

Considering how much information people are willing to give about themselves, that outcome is more than realistic.

"...the copyright holders won't suffer because of it, since people eventually spend the money saved on entertainment products."

How do they reach that conclusion?

Exactly. The sentence you're quoting is 100% bullshit. Watch it being applauded on Slashdot as a prime example of logical thinking.

Thieves are often hypocrites as well.

/me yawns & checks wristwatch...

This story should have been in "idle".

You can install encfs on the Mac too. There are even GUI add-ons available for it, though personally I don't use them.

Stallman doesn't sound so crazy now...

To real computer geeks, Woz will always be relevant, unlike and in spite of you.

I removed 2 cycles from his SWEET16 interpreter when I ported it to the C64

CVE advisories include a list of affected versions... Am I missing something or are you?

Try this example advisory: Firefox "before 3.6.20" is reportedly affected, but in the listing there's no Firefox 3.0.19, because that version included a patch for that particular security hole.

CVE tells me that there are no known security holes.

It's not that it's not tested. It's just that what the Firefox designers want is now completely divorced from what the users want. This has been clear for me since the 'awesomebar'*.

I've gone back to Firefox 3.0.19. No known security holes, small footprint, does everything I need.

Fuck the Mozilla foundation and their numeral wanking.

the project probably would have been a "run and forget" kind of thing due to the obviously low probability of it happening in his lifetime.

Which also means that he wouldn't have managed to cheat thousands into visiting his blog.

"The worse, the better" is quite a dangerous strategy, though.

no?

Well, it's great that you'd be happy declaring when and how often you'd allow private parties to make mutually agreed-upon financial transactions.

That's no more arbitrary than deciding opening and closing times for the stock exchange.
