Linus Torvalds 'sorry' for swearing, blames popularity of Linux itself

Re: Well..
Fixing said bugs or coding in such a way that minimizes the likely hood of them occuring is better than coding around the bugs to allow them to exist.
Whilst adopting a better mental approach is definitely desirable, I believe Linus was suggesting that it is the overall layered approach to the kernel design that would limit the damage that a single bug could do.

Cops jam a warrant into Apple to make it cough up Texas mass killer's iPhone, iCloud files

Apple have designed the system to be resistant to them breaking the encryption.
If the law were changed to prevent them from doing that, then the courts may well be able to order them to decrypt a device, but otherwise it's just the same as asking someone to prove a negative - it can't be done.
For example, Wallaby claims he can prove he doesn't own a Ferrari. Well, I'm sure he can generate enough evidence to create reasonable doubt as to whether he owns one or not, but there is no way to actually *prove* you don't own one. Same principle applies to Apple and breaking the encryption on their devices - which they have *specifically* designed to be secure (even from them).

At what point will the general population of the US finally understand the nature of the boot on their face do you think?
I'm guessing they'll only know when they can't actually breath, and the only thought in their head will be 'how did this happen..I've got nothing to hide!
We are doomed by morons.

DXC Tech asks staff to profile their skills

Re: Best way to handle this
conspire so that everyone has a current CV available at all times.
You shouldn't need to conspire for that in this day and age, just a quick reminder to ensure everyone is on the 'same page' and off you go. Anyone who doesn't have an up to date CV ready to go needs their head testing - especially in some of these high churn outfits!

Re: Another Day Another Lie
Nothing surprising about agencies accusing others of what they are doing themselves, it's just human nature..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
It's even covered in The Bible..
"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
"You therefore have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things."

Re: the vast majority of terrorist incidents world wide are linked to Islam
In addition to innate racial discrimination (which civilized beings try to overcome with rational thoughts) there is a very disturbing set of people who seem to find it acceptable to make disabled peoples' lives even more miserable than it probably already is.
I mean, really, what could someone with one leg, or down syndrome, possibly have done to someone that was so bad that hundreds of arseholes think it's ok to ridicule them, even attack them?
Are peoples' lives so empty and devoid of compassion that they can't tell when they are actually quite well off (historically speaking) and feel like bashing on someone totally worse off than they are?
Seriously, I don't get it.
