Companies can be successful and making a lot of money without taking away their users' freedom. It doesn't make them evil, but it makes me loose any interest in their products.
"They already do this by letting users install Flash -- in fact, they make it particularly easy to do so, patent-encumbered though it is. And as I've pointed out before, they use Flash to play h.264 video anyway. The…
"The burden of what? Deciding what video content is acceptable? Like I said before, that should not be Mozilla's role, but it's the one they've taken on." The burden of dealing with patent encumbered formats. Someone…
Any stats to back up your wild claims and non-sense assumptions?
Then users shouldn't use patent encumbered formats. Simple as that. There already been enough mess by formats supported by browser X but not Y.
Their actions come from their values. And they happen to value an open web and free software. So yes, it is actually useful. And then, how would you qualify apple by not supporting theora in safari? They are keeping…
Just to be clear. From OSI (see http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd ): "1. Free Redistribution The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software…
There is a huge difference between "not valuing freedom" and "valuing advantage X more than freedom". This is not all or nothing. This is not a case of "you are either with us or against us". Repeating "stupid" and…
Why is it bullshit? I never implied anything about you/ How using H.264 would be beneficial to free software and open standards? This is really about how much you value your freedom. About at what point you will abandon…
Ah so if YOU don't worry about, I guess everything is going to be fine :)
It just depends how much you value your freedom.
That's a very limited way of looking at free software. Free software gives you some very important freedom you wouldn't have otherwise. It also improves software quality ("given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.")…
As a user I could as well contract a company to adapt, develop or/and support a free software to my needs. As an example there are all these companies providing services for nagios. Companies could as well share the…
When I say logs, I mean all sort of logs (network, system, app...). So that include auth logs, apache logs and so on.
There isn't one single solution to cover all angles. So yes, logs are useful but won't protect you either. And yes, they could help you to discover intrusion. Regarding authentication, you could use public/private key…
* you use logs so you can be aware of suspicious events at network, system and app level * you have scripts to analyze these logs and notify you if anything suspicious happens. This is faster, can be done more often and…
