Is your point that local user access is valuable? Was that ever in doubt?

Are you asking if anybody has a 0day windows kernel exploit? Or if lots of users are going to click okie dokie when the uac prompt comes up?

I'd say yes and yes.

Well, an update was today. Perhaps another transfer? We don't quite have all the facts.

It's not root access. It's access as whatever user was running the browser.

Nothing requires the new owner to immediately change DNS...

"Each kernel release is a different work; the chances that any given piece of code has been modified in a new release are pretty high. One could argue that each kernel release comes with its own license; the termination of one does not necessarily affect rights to other releases."

That is the argument I am making.

I believe we agree.

Read right over that. But I suspect they can still just download another copy, as the second download would be a new offer, and they can then agree and comply with that one.

You could also align the pointer over the button, shine a laser pointer on your mouse button, and have your cat click it for you. Since you didn't click the button, you didn't accept the license. Arguably.

Term 5? All that says is if you don't accept the terms, you don't get to use the software. There's no irrevocable termination of rights.

At worst, all they have to do is download a new copy of mount and presto, they have a new license.

[err, that's for gpl2. gpl3 has a more complicated termination procedure.]

ok, so in light of gpl3, they just need to go back and get a gpl2 copy of mount. It's not like mount has changed all that much, I'm sure the 2007 version will suffice. Or they could just write their own. How many lines of code are we talking about here?

yikes, did someone not read the article?

One of the causes of the Revolution was lack of representation and a means to change the law. Now that we have a representative government as a result of that war, one might hope we would use it.

Just like everybody pays for all the movies and music they torrent after they decide which ones they're keeping.

This is the first time he's claimed confirmation from people who are supposed to know.

Why do people keep saying this? The x86 devices are required to allow loading other OS.

Fixing some of the bugs you find internally doesn't mean you need to fix all of the bugs you find internally.

And that's why the link goes to an article discussing usage of Go instead of the golang homepage.

Did any of those people disagree with him before? Has he changed anyone's opinion? If he had said the opposite, that the verdict was correct, would anyone here say "hmmm, he's given me a lot to think about."? Or would they just say, "it's so sad to see a legend lose touch."?

I think that's it. The phrase "the famous, or even infamous, ..." is fairly common. Monkey see, monkey do.

In the US, it's hovered right around 50% for a while, though it's climbed up between 55-60% for the past couple elections. More people don't vote than vote for any candidate. I would agree less than 30% isn't default, but 45% isn't less than 30.

And non presidential election turnout is abysmal.

If I don't like how a plugin works, I can uninstall the plugin. If I don't like how the browser works, I can... oh, I guess I can uninstall that too.

Is it possible to reject just the interpretation of the data?

Is it time for Senate hearings about hotspot neutrality?

Not a good week for claiming credit...

Not voting is what people do by default. It's not an interesting choice.

Indeed, I may have read the code wrong. But look at line 188.

    m_prevLink->m_nextNode = m_nextNode;

One thing about intrusive lists, you have to know and specify every list the item may be on. Maybe you like that, maybe you don't.

Also, it doesn't appear the provided code gracefully handles removing an item from a list twice.

So if gmail's spam filter isn't perfect, it's better to have no spam filter?

All a color table is is a series of integers. Any random byte, or two, or four, is a valid integer.

For the most part, since it costs real money to send real mail, many of the people behind it are inclined to honor unsubscribe requests.
