What many of these comments seem to be missing is that I don't think Doc Searls meant Linux the kernel when he said this. He meant Linux the OS (which some want to call GNU/Linux as he mentioned) with all these parts included. All

These are not active protection systems though. Also, I'm pretty sure that they have at least older generation Kontakt ERA that dates back from the Soviet Union in use.

Are you referring to persistent database connections and something like apache mod_php? The first one doesn't seem that common these days and the other one doesn't seem like something that the application would force on you anyway

They do use Kontakt reactive armor but what's the APS?

Yes, it does return ANSI when you curl/wget the address.

Thanks for giving an example. I'd say that you can definitely take advantage of the functionality provided by views without having accounts that are able create and modify them on your production site. In fact it's accepted as the

I agree it would be good to make the changelog unreadable but what are the numerous other ways it's insecure by default? As for the rate at which vulnerablities appear, Drupalgeddon was a very rare case. I haven't noticed Drupal h

That's certainly a problem for the low end but I think Mossack Fonseca should definitely know better as a law firm with 500+ employees in over 40 countries.

What kind of manual steps are you talking about? Updating Drupal is usually fairly straightforward and unless you're talking about an alpha/beta release or doing a major version upgrade and definitely doesn't require manual d

I've encountered very little software that does not fairly frequently require (security) updates. It's somewhat irrelevant whether the leak happened through an unpatched security issue in Drupal since they're apparently runni

The same could be said about non-QWERTY keyboard layouts but I think the potential gains from using the best tools you can are so big that you'd have to be using shells where you're unable to customize a substantial amount to end

They did a longer test as a follow-up and in that case found there was no difference at all with mentioning bitcoin in the same footer: https://fundraising.mozilla.org/the-un-dramatic-conclusion-d...

Yeah, this certainly wasn't the case with the previous Developer Edition XPS13. You apparently got Intel with some versions of it and not with others and information about which version included what was pretty difficult to come by. Br

Thanks, I've taken a look at the Parens of the Dead series earlier and I've definitely been enjoying the Emacs Rocks videos. I'll check out Extending Emacs too. Parens of the Dead is the kind of thing I was looking for more o

These are great, I've been looking of examples of skillful Emacs use. Are there any videos of you or someone else putting the knowledge into practice while working on code?

ergoemacs-mode has support for defining the bindings independently of whether you're using Colemak, Dvorak or QWERTY. That's a pretty good idea since the bindings are not really about any specific layout but should be picked based

VimGolf is a fun pastime but in terms of speed I feel focusing only on keystrokes might not give you the full picture. If the solution requires mental effort to do, some other way that is is easy and fast to arrive at in most cases could be

"Roots has long been critics of the out-dated PHP version requirements in WordPress. They still have 5.2 as the minimum version which has been end of life (EOL) since January 6th 2011." This is ignoring the fact that distributions

I'd say anything to do with PHP, Drupal or WordPress almost always gets pretty much the same treatment over here.

To me the problematic part that makes it different to at least some open source projects is that all those technical leads and core committers are apparently employed by Google (and working on company time, I assume). That could mean Google

They certainly have reasons to be biased but saying they are among the least likely is unnecessary hyperbole. I'd say they're just as likely, at most, as the lawyer of any copyright holder is when discussing whether something is a

Does a single patch to any part of the Linux kernel make you eligible for suing over these or do you have to have copyright over a part that is clearly relevant?

I am aware of the reasoning they might have for this and was mostly asking about the parent's claim that Firefox is legally obligated to do this. VLC is still gets packaged by Debian as VLC and even branding intact I believe. Chrome is

Trademarks that are only for the name are actually handled differently? If that's the case it would explain it I suppose. First time I hear of this being a special case. Yeah, Drupal has the wordmark branding and the community branding

Why isn't this a problem for Linux? Or Perl, Python, Drupal or many of the other packages that exist under their trademarked names in Debian and other distributions?

This is a great service, but I couldn't configure a Twitter stream agent because the installation doesn't have Twitter set up. Another thing I'd like to know when signing up to a service like this is if and how I can get my
