It's not what they can't do, it's what they WON'T do. They must decide your idea is bad and you must prove them wrong.

I believe it was open source, but the licenses were not 'free' enough to be called free software.

BMW VIN must be longer than 7 digits.... IBM product license serial numbers at 7 digits would make more sense.

If they are worried about that, they have bigger problems.

My bsd init and sysv init machines do not have this issue. They don't automount every damn filesystem they see at boot for no reason.

Like unbricking ftdi chips, the kernel team has a great track record of taking care of users where the vendors fuck them over.

Nothing. It's the same as nvidia's non-gpl kernel modules. The simple fact is they will never be accepted upstream, but that matters little to distributors of ubuntu's scale.

My interpretation was that it would affect future iphones, not current ones. This is less to do with what was said, and more to do with what is practical. It would be absolutely trivial to disable security features before selling to the cus

Fdroid is wonderful. They even strip ads from otherwise foss projects since the licenses are usually not compatible.

Damn the consequences of distributed creation! It will never last! Content creators need to get paid! Why else would anyone make art?

How about a scale of "Most private" to "Most up to date and secure"

Sounds like an option for domain administrators... not users. That's a bummer.

I'd like a disable-all button for web development. Also to have the old behavior back for soooo many things... like hitting enter in the URL bar actually load the URL even if it didn't change.

Whatever is on the knockoff nanos now seems great. cg340 or something. 5 years ago I had a hell of a time trying to unlearn parallel port crap and figure out all the ftdi hype, aaand now I don't have to worry about it. Stupid move ftdi

Ah, so that's where they hid all that undisclosed evidence! Thanks, Ed!

This is stupid. Making https a requirement will break most web pages on hardware older than 2005 or so. This sucks for anyone without money.

Nah this will only benefit local cops. Those big guys have network sniffing.

Most people also buy the "nothing to hide" argument, in the interest of not making trouble.

Dude the last paragraph is almost word for word. Who wrote these??

I'm not big on patching needlessly. Guess I'll have to wait for a better tester.

"will have a lot of information." I don't think they will. Too much data about our lives is locked up and lost by online communities falling apart. Anyone who invested a significant amount of time in myspace probably has noth

Having random thrashing return useful instructions (like making the button they SHOULD be clicking on glow or blink a few times) is not a bad design pattern. Reminds me of the annoying (to me) new mac wiggle-for-massive-cursor feature.

That was pretty looney right up to the last bit. That there, is a great idea. Whatabouts a flag to indicate that throttling will gracefully degrade? QoS tool's best friend?
