Why are you attributing this story to The Register, when all your links are to somewhere else?

You could almost say there's a stateless protocol.

What he is, is a liar and master stock manipulator. That's all this is. No need to look for any science in it, or to dig any further (no regolith joke implied).

You didn't quite get the joke. "No Nazi ever called me racist"... because they wouldn't, would they?

Because it has sick drumming, dude!

It could be... The Sun. (Which, unfortunately, is a hard thing to regulate.)

Is RSA even a serious security conference, other than to market the latest tools and gee-gaws to willing suckers? Despite the obvious tone of skepticism/sarcasm, this is a serious question from me, not a troll. I just didn't think RSA was much of a magnet for serious-minded security researchers, policy wonks, activists, and the like. I thought folks went to Black Hat and DefCon for that sort of thing, while RSA was pretty much just the security-focused version of Dreamforce or Oracle OpenWorld.

Yeah, buddy, you might be good at reading scientific papers and research, but you're not so good at reading lawsuits. The suit itself is just a bunch of claims. Evidence is the stuff you present in court. So if you're thinking, "But I'm not a party to this suit, so I don't have access to all the evidence attorneys are planning to present" ... now yer thinkin'.

It's a fair point. I use a Mac, but I pretty much automatically replace the functionality of any of the apps it comes with. It bugs me when Apple announces a major OS release and all the "new features" relate to the bundled apps, all of which, for me, rank no higher than "it'll get you there until you get something better." I even use iTerm instead of the built-in Terminal.

Still, the day-to-day use of macOS is still more pleasurable to me than Windows has been for years, and even though there aren't likely to be any showstoppers for me with Linux, I still don't want to deal with it.

As for Final Cut, years ago Apple did something to screw it up and piss off a lot of the professional video editors who were using it. Maybe they reversed themselves or came up with a fix, but the pro editors I know had no patience to wait for that and moved on to Adobe Premiere, which by then had improved by leaps and bounds.

On the contrary; that's exactly how the entire industry of building contracting works.

Doubtless the Amazon delivery franchisees also absorb most of the liability for undelivered/misdelivered packages.

I used to run IT at a graphic design firm. For years, the joke was that it was Adobe's market to lose, and they were working on it. However, the one crown jewel was always Photoshop. They could (and did) fuck up Illustrator, they could (and did) fuck up Acrobat, etc... but if they fucked up Photoshop, it would be like downing a whole bottle with a skull-and-crossbones label on it.

Photoshop seems to be doing well today, but there are legitimate alternatives. Clip Studio Paint is much cheaper and has tons of tools to suit illustration work.

I understand that a lot of video editing professionals made the move to Premiere after Apple bungled Final Cut Pro, just like a bunch of publishing pros switched to InDesign when QuarkXPress dropped the ball. But none of this is to indicate there's any shortage of resentment and animosity towards Adobe and how they do business.

But how much of that is money the companies have in the bank and how much is money they expect to have when their AI plans raise them to the level of Mount Olympus?

Really? If you told me you spent more than $2 on a checkers set, my eyebrows would raise. I reckon most people get theirs from their parents' attic.
