You might check my blog on 45 desktops setup based on FVWM. I still use the same setup today, for about 18 years already :) It is so powerful that I feel arms and legs bound when I sit in front of desktops-enabled XFCE or unity http://skliarie.blogspot.co.il...

Gnome had no problem usurping the KDE term "Activities" as a synonym for "Virtual Desktops" even though KDE had been using the term to mean something else for years:
http://aseigo.blogspot.co.il/2...

The Gnome move is even more confusing than the Groupon move as the new Gnome term _replaces an existing term_ and additionally is also a UI term similar, but not quite exactly, like the KDE term. At least nobody is likely to confuse a Gnome tablet with a Gnome desktop environment.

The server not being able to force policy on the clients is inherent to the client-server system: If you client is un-trusted, you cannot enforce anything on it.

Unfortunately, while current OpenSSH supports multiple authentication options, they cannot be "stacked" - if you manage to authenticate in one way, you are in.

In my blog I suggest a solution: I show a way to force OpenSSH to ask for a (server based) password after key based login,. This way you can enforce password policy on the server (strong passwords, etc...) with the standard tools, and also require a key. The key can now be password-less.

Chile, the country with the lowest rate of firearm related deaths (according to that Wikipedia list at any rate, I'm not sure how much I trust that list) may have "restrictive" gun laws but they are still more permissive than some parts of the U.S http://escapeamericanow.blogspot.co.il/2008/09/bring-your-gun-to-chile.html Ukraine, Belarus, and probably other countries which are listed as having very low fire arm death rates are also listed as having higher murder rates than the U.S http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate Of course both thesae lists aren't good statistics, even is all the numbers are accurate they were gathered at different years from 1992 for canada to 2012 for South Africa You don't think things might have changed in those 20 years? One final point Correlation is not causation - something my 6th grade math teacher demonstrated by "proving" that paved roads cause traffic accidents.

Peh. I trust the BBC about as much as I trust Pravda. They like to memory hole stories that don't fit their agenda after they've been published(Nov 9/12). You hear about the story about the luxury homes in the Palestinian territories that the Beeb did? Probably not. Because it was up for all of an hour before memory holed. It was a rather good bit of journalism they even included pictures of the overflowing markets and all the rest.

And when I say they scrubbed it, they scrubbed it. It was up and down so fast that not even google crawled it. But, some bloggers did catch it.

Except that it is still there on the BBC web site on November 11. Is this a new definition of "memory hole" where you put video up on your website for the entire world to view for several days? Also, two of your "bloggers" are actually the same blogger, one accessed via the Google Canadian URL and one via the Israeli one.

In fact, when I go to the main page Middle East news page http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/middle_east/ it is still one of the top video news stories listed on the right hand side. What the fuck are you talking about?

What you say is not true. Here is a good blog post explaining and illustrating the volatility the last 100 years: http://brooklyninvestor.blogspot.co.il/2012/06/market-volatility.html . Dan
