I'm sure Linus grits his teeth over this kind of shit, but what's he going to do now that corporate money controls most of Linux.

Good article... I've always liked to keep up on security issues. I actually subscribe to the ics-cert@ncas.us-cert.gov mailing list to keep up on the security issue du jour.

Looks like she left: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/01/01/freebsd-community-breathes-sigh-of-relief-as-toxic-activist-randi-harper-finally-quits/

Can you show any proof of that?

It also requires the ability to grok logic... journalists are inherently devoid of that ability.

When I read mine, I begin to cry.

They really don't understand open source... they "open sourced" DOS, but that was a joke.

Now why would someone submit a spam post from another site?

Sounds like liberal arts or common core programming.

I'm sure it will just be another poorly designed Unix wannabe subsystem of the Windows OS.

While this is a severe bug, it looks like it is extremely difficult to exploit.

Douche hair, Problem Glasses^tm, guess the gender..... it all makes sense now.

We wouldn't want to just accept the contribution based on its merits, now would we.

The sensitive little special snowflake needs to move on instead of pissing in the other R developers cornflakes.

I didn't recognize any of it. My experience is with Digital Equipment (DEC) PDP 11/34 and Vax assembly back in the 70's and early 80's. I did a little bit of assembly on some proprietary Cincinnati Milacron machine controls with core memory, but only to interface some 8" floppy drives. There are many different assemblers that target specific architectures and instruction sets.

Probably, and I think he had a hand in PHP too.

Assembly language, the way God intended programming to be.

It was a "pledge" and is not guaranteed until congress votes on it. All it amounts to is Obama asking Congress to include the funds in a spending bill.

Look at Freenet and I2P, i've been running both for a number of years.

I believe that it takes a special personality and interest to be a coder. I began coding in 1976 with no formal training, and It just seemed like something I was naturally good at. With todays eye-candy GUI's, most people only see the superficial surface of the computing world and I believe if a kid has the potential to be a coder, something like this could be a path to real coding which usually happens in an IDE or editor.

And to this day, Fortran and Cobol are still in use. It seems that many languages get traction because they look sexy and trendy, but fall by the wayside once their weakness surfaces and the Next Big Thing^TM shows up that is supposed to fix all of the problems of the previous language.

Nothing here but a tumble weed and a few crickets, so I'll just yell.... YAHOO!
