CERT Advisory CA-2000-21 Denial-of-Service Vulnerabilities in TCP/IP Stacks

Why not use OpenAL? Or even SDL, or just the low level ALSA. What I really wanted to do was create an ALSA driver which multiplexes the output to the hardware ALSA driver like the esd/artsd daemons did. (Note: the dmixer plugin now does this) This would simplify things greatly. No mucking about with whose library/daemons you need to run. They just work. -- Jack is probably the one, with OpenAL for 3D.

This isn't really censorship, but it talks about how many things are made popular more by random chance than merit. What are ways to prevent this? I think maybe keeping a list by high rating, but randomly adding other posts / submissions in the list as well. This way unpopular submissions are still seen, but the list is still useful to the site's users.

Why limit your ability to load software on your own computer? So they can charge you for every little program you use.
