So code that is used a lot is compiled with -O3 (the most optimizations), while code that is not used a lot gets -Os (to take less space), and so forth.
Other than space, what is the disadvantages of compiling the whole thing with -O3? I use a lot of esoteric features, as do my extensions I'm sure, and disk space cost is so low that cost really isn't a problem for another 10 or 100 MB. Even memory is cheap in many cases.
How much space is being saved by _not_ optimising the entire build?
What about this interesting suggestion to eliminate suicide attacks: the initiator is motivated by immediate entry into paradise. Word on the ground in Afghanistan is that when the remains are gathered and buried, inclusion of just a small piece of pigmeat with the remains will prevent Allah from seeing the martyr, thus, no paradise, thus, not motivation to die.
We do not defile corpses here. I'm astonished to learn that some might do that.
While I have understood that the Israeli Sayeret forces and/or Mossad are indeed very skilled, this list of targeted killings is not without civilian victims, and the methods used (hellfire missiles, the same as predator drones, and bombs) makes me think there would be more. It could be that this is merely "edge cases" under extreme circumstances, but civilian casualties are still civilian casualties.
Thanks, that was an interesting read. I'm infantry, I cannot speak for the air force, but your assesment closely matches my own. Israeli soldiers are here to protect civilians, be them Israeli or Palestinian civilians, equally. And we do a good job of it, despite what you read in the international press.
Being some kind of military person with more experience than the entire user database of dash slot. Learn one lesson..... always walk away from conflict and violence.
If you see muzzle flashes, then the rules of engagement has been broken. Commando's then unleash such fire power we do not care if your wife, children or pet gets hurt as collateral damage.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU STARTED THE FIGHT!
Lesson of life!
My god. In my army (Israel) we generally assume that muzzle flashes have kids playing around them, and we don't fire until we have the actual terrorists either on the iron sites or better yet, a sharpshooter with a magnifying optical scope to neutralise him. Those who fire in the name Allah (which happens to be the same God that I pray to) do it to hurry themselves and their family to Heaven. Don't do them any favours by killing their families. That is what they want (quick way to Heaven). Why else do you think they take their kids with them?
What army do you serve in? US? That is disgusting what you tell about disregard for human life.
Of all the stupid features from Chrome to pick up, the version numbers is, by far, the dumbest. Has anyone considered how stupid a version number in the high double digits might be? Firefox 81 seems kind of clunky, doesn't it?
I think that Windows went from 3.x to 90+something and even got up to the low thousands, before coming back down to single digits.
The first three posters in this thread have brand new, nearly consecutive uids and are sitting around agreeing with one another about proprietary software and MS. Just saying.
I cannot speak for Gnome, but usability feature requests can go unattended for years at KDE. I've filed literally hundreds of them.
As the RFE that I filed is not quite a dupe of yours, I'll not mark it as a dupe. We'll see if anyone ever gets around to implementing them. I suppose that a plasmoid might be able to do it as well.

Even if the drive contained no sensitive data prior to encryption, the user can never change the password as that will change the volume header. And there need not be worry of compromise to change a password and you imply.
Furthermore, the page states that even if the user does manage to properly encrypt the drive before putting sensitive data on it by using a complicated procedure (which includes disabling the OS swap / paging file and other non-end-user steps), there is _still_ no guarantee of reliable encryption. Even furthermore, even if the goal of encryption is achieved, there is no plausible deniability for encrypted partitions on SSD's.
Still not convinced? Then trust _your_ state secrets to them. And stop with the ad hominim (sp?) attacks.
Although there exists browsers on Windows that don't require a plugin, _only_ Windows requires a plugin. Therefore, the only component that I could confidently assume exist in the OP's installation is Windows.
It's funny: I don't usually bash Windows. I didn't even mean to this time!
It seems that only Windows users need a pluging. On my Kubuntu system it was all Javascript (I suppose, what else could it be?). So the answer to your "Why must I install an insecure plugin" question seems to be: "Because you are using Windows".
Or any of 1000 other internet cliques that went belly-up. I recently "lost" all the data in my g.ho.st account. In my case it was all backed up, but they did not know that when they closed all personal accounts with no warning and no access to the data.
Quite the point was to show the wide range of FOSS software that is available for Windows. The only thing missing was the desktop environment itself, KDE. Now that it is ported (well, when it will be usable) One could easily switch not just between Linux distros but between platforms with minimal change in the UI or desktop. Consistency.
Because KDE is a desktop environment (well, a Software Compilation in their own words) and not a Linux or *nix pet anymore.
I personally don't consider myself a Linux user, even though I have been using operating systems based on the Linux kernel for about six years now. I consider myself a KDE user and I have no problem using KDE on Ubuntu (well, Kubuntu), or on Fedora, or on Suse. Now I have another option, to use KDE on Windows. Why not, Windows 7 is a secure, stable OS and certainly no more problematic than any Linux distro out there. I hate the Windows UI, though, and especially hate the file manager. With KDE for Windows I can switch to a Windows-based OS and still use all the tools that I am familiar with: KDE, Anki, Open Office, Firefox, etc.

Maybe announce each time that they are being buried in an unmarked grave wrapped in bacon? That might cut down on the religious fanatics.
Desecrate their bodies? _You_ are the pig.
I see, thanks.

In Firefox 3.6, too, on Ubuntu. I thought it might be because of the Vimperator extension. Do you use Vimperator?

That is great, thanks! I filed this feature request on KDE:

Could you please phrase that as a car analogy?

Yes. TrueCrypt is not effective on SSD drives.
encrypt the data before writing.
at no point in its existence will it appear anything but white noise to unauthorized parties.
WRONG
So, you got to install a plug-in to check if your other plug-ins are secure. Maybe the browsercheck plug-in isn't secure.
It didn't install a plugin for me. In fact, after seeing people complain here about the plugin I check the FAQs:
https://community.qualys.com/docs/DOC-1542#s1
It seems that only Windows users need a pluging. On my Kubuntu system it was all Javascript (I suppose, what else could it be?). So the answer to your "Why must I install an insecure plugin" question seems to be: "Because you are using Windows".
Hmm, that'll teach me to preview before using non-ASCII characters.
The word was 'moose' in case anyone is wondering, and apparently the technology is already in use.
A m00se once bit my sister.
Soyuz... (a launchpad for the latter is almost ready in French Guiana BTW)
That will be only for unmanned Soyuz launches, an important distinction to make.
Of course people had to these calculations back then; calculating machines that could do it were yet to be developed.
Mentats?
The real issue in this is how this will affect the public opinion on free software. It will not be good.
The public won't notice. As usual.
I think that Geocities might also be his story.
