What is wrong with cases that can be properly stacked up? I find these cases with odd shapes and curved tops a total waste of space. If you have four of these on a shelf you prefer to stack them up and save space. Why can't designers b

Principles are principles. If hardware designers have no competition for their hardware then there is no reason for them not to make the firmware source available. The only commercial reason for firmware to be secret is the fear that compet

Is it just me or is there a conspiracy not to determinedly and aggressively seek alternatives to closed firmware in the so called open source world? Theo de Raadt's response makes me feel that some people who claim to be committed to o
