This is nice :) Good point. it is like "I imagine a number" and someone needs to figure out what number I imagined, without any clue.

"London's Sunday Times" hm, I doubt any information coming from sources that usually spread warmongering lies. Besides, when you encrypt something with random data and XOR operation, there is no decryption technique in the world to decypher that, because there is no cypher. It is unbreakable encryption technique anyone can use - You just need randomly generated file, that is large as data you want to XOR and since no "fancy" algorithm is used - no decryption is possible.

Microsoft sacked hundreds of employees working on Mono (Open .Net implementation for non-Microsoft platforms, notably Linux). It is Microsoft who is desperate to undo it's own wrongdoing with .NET keeping it tied up with Windows-only ecosystem that seems to be dieing on both server, desktop and mobile. .Net itself it all *patented* by Microsoft and they can alway pull the plug not only to their own proprietary implementation (and also your apps) so it is *VERY risky* business to use .Net for anything important and to even *believe* Microsoft is a good guy - no it is not - it is singe strongest source of vendor-lock-in and whole Software industry halter. So it is unfortunately number 3) Embrace, extend, extinguish - but it would happen to Microsoft this time. Nothing that Microsoft releases will not be for the good of anyone but Microsoft, to lure people of developing and using their proprietary technologies. One thing that is obvious from this actually is that not One company can compete with 50 or 100 companies making products as a collective. Proprietary software development model with "license" sales is dead and burred. Even Microsoft tries to sale "services" instead. And "Macs" became PC hardware as well as Game consoles (PS4, Xbox One) and rely on FreeBSD to run, like Internet rely on Linux and not Windows (Google).

So that it was all about... Campaign of Lies and liars, to justify war against country. How typically American..

People themselves share data. People themselves share descriptions and blog and forum posts. Sounds more like a message forum site then anything else... Right of free speech freely has been taken away by 1% of the rich. Everyone can make site where people TALK and exchange their Articles and messages. This is attack to personal freedom of expression and have nothing to do with ludicrous claims that message and post sharing sites have something to do with sharing itself. People share what they want themselves.

Thanks! this is really useful review.

That's why Solaris Zones are best development environment to this day. You don't need freekin' reinstall just to have new IDE working or testing apps in isolated but full speed environment. Also try using DTrace do debug in-production applications and services. And yes, illumos distributions are open source. (and there's also KVM under zones..)

So, they plan to send it in 2020?
How about never?

Why that space exploration is Sooo slow?
Man was on the moon ages ago. Why not everything is not faster and space programs are doign things in the time of OUR lives?
Maybe economy have too much people doing nothing and not contributing and that is why there is so little money allocated to space program? Think about is next time you pay your loan.

Apple looks like new SCO to me.
Apple is selling PC's (other companies make it for them) you can buy anywhere, anyway, and packing BSD and proprietary libraries on top.
It's proprietary and closed and remotely-controlled practice looks like Microsoft is doing, BUT with "you can choose your hardware vendors" decency that Microsoft have and Apple computers company lacks.

It would not take a lot of time to see Apple die, innovation is not - being so called "patent" troll on wheel they are.

IBM is IBM.
Apple AND Microsoft are new SCOs.
Google is new Google+Microsoft
Oracle is filled with good technology, just going in proprietary asshole direction that would eat itself the same way Mainframes eat themselves. Slow death but death is inevitable with asshole management.

it is non-issue if you do your work on your own laptop, on home desktop, company laptop or any other computer. You are worker of that particular company and they could put their hands on ALL your work because they pay you for working and they have right to claim products of your work. It is very hard to distinguish something done "for work" and "for yourself". If it is very valuable to the company they will find a way to steal your rights from you, it you are employed. That is why Richard Stallman quit its job before begining of GNU project. Because he realized that by staying employed and payed company he would work for could put their hand to its work! If you want to make sure that only YOUR stuff is on Your laptop and your work is your work only, then quit the job! You might redefine your contract with that company to per-project basis or request special clause in contract do deny the company any rights to your work you do, except specific required tasks, that need to be documented by signed e-mail, requests for do a particular tasks, etc.

It is better to use ISS in any way, but destroying it burning down the Earth atmosphere.

Send around moon with full systems working and fulled with fuel etc,
it can serve as life boat or even one of the stations supporting Moon exploration.

If it could be sent to Mars orbit, it could be used upon human arrival on Mars orbit.

I think that using chrome is not clever move, anyway. we should not allow google to overtake our desktop..

It is good to use search engine alternatives, anyway. We shouldn`t have and use just one search engine in the world..

Yes, very sad. But first 2 things were: 1. search on some pettition against such google behavior 2. Multiple people were instantly interested in finding alternative search engine to use. Thing number 2 is very good..

Hopefully Windows servers are in minority on Web server usage, so that is highly unlikely ;)
