With ZoL there were issues with metadata heavy workloads (rsync being one of the prime examples) with 0.6.2, however with 0.6.3 those issues have been significantly improved by many accounts.
I just got a new Dell Precision M3800, it has one of the 3200x1800 displays, two memory slots (although max of 16GB for now until reasonable laptop 16GB mDIMMs are available), and flexible battery and storage options. For a shorter life battery both an mSATA SSD and second 2.5" drive can be used (256GB SSD + 1TB spinning) if you have high storage needs. It is definitely a breath of fresh air in some regards, and room for improvement, but overall I've been very happy with it. It really is essentially a MacBook Pro but with some options.
For single drives yes it seems to work well and so I can give you some advantages over filesystem unaware LVM. However in my experience (last tested in September) it doesn't come anywhere close to mdraid for multiple device setups. The tools don't accurately show the kernel state (drive missing or not) and there are a number of inconsistencies just in hotplugging drives. Oh and that is the only option because you can't even forcibly fail a drive from a RAID1 to replace it.
But at least "full-auto" means something concrete. "Assault rifle" as a term was invented to generally mean a gun that does something 'bad', or looks generally like a type of gun that did something bad in a movie once. A proper definition doesn't exist based on innate capability, but instead of makes and model that look dangerous, regardless of actual firearm mechanisms or functionality...
To be clear, that's not to say that is what Lavabit had in place (as far as I'm aware it really was client-side private keys), but knowing where which private key comes into play is paramount. This is just clarifying the logical incongruence between the statements when both are held to be true.
Sure, but the parent's point is that there are two assertions which are mutually incompatible, and is questioning the statement that data is encrypted with a user key:
1. The key used to encrypt data on disk is known only to the user, or "stored email was encrypted based on a key that only the user had"
2. Obtaining the server-side SSL private key would allow reading the plaintext.
Since lavabit was able to provide an alternative means to get the data of just one user, that tells me that #1 is invalid. If the data really was encrypted with a user key then a copy of the data in transit would be encrypted even when unpacked from the SSL stream. In cases like that, SSL is only used for data integrity, not encryption since the encryption is already in place.
Use the IMAP server - if you have control and/or space available.
I just have a single large archive IMAP folder into which everything that isn't spam gets pushed. You could optionally create subfolders for time ranges (every 1-2 years, whatever works for you). Using dovecot with good indexing support on the backend quick searching has been great. If you do a sub-archive breakout on time the searches will be quicker, you could also then create a virtual mailbox combining them all for when search really needs to span time (and take a good chunk longer)
There are scripts/utilities available to push mbox, etc. into an IMAP folder, push everything there and use it.
Windows can do that as well - Win+Left Arrow, Win+Right Arrow, and Win+Up sends the window to the left half, right half, and maximized. Not that I don't prefer the KDE version, but I think Windows may have had it first - I at least saw it on Windows first.
Sure, the nightlies are - but notice at that same location the win64-x86_64 builds also? Mozilla have themselves provided nightly 64-bit builds of FF on Windows since at least before the 4.0 release. I was running the 64-bit Minefield nightlies leading up to the 4.0 release, figuring that they would then be official releases, but alas they appear to just be considered the ignored stepchild by Mozilla.
From the actual announcement, it appears that btrfs is NOT supported for direct booting, but simply to be recognized by grub-probe, and a separate/boot is still required to have btrfs as the root fs.
"Add `grub-probe' support for the btrfs filesystem, permitting / to reside on btrfs as long as/boot is on a filesystem natively supported by GRUB."
I actually like the dark gray on light grey for collapsed comments - it provides a great visual indicator that it is there, allows a preview of the comment, but the muted color combination makes it more subtle and less prominent than higher contrast combinations would.
Now, that said, I do agree with all the "too much whitespace" comments, which certainly apply to collapsed comments as well - there is too much whitespace surrounding the text in each collapsed comment item. A collapsed comment doesn't have to be a huge bubble, just make the light gray background slightly larger than the contained text.
A text issue, unrelated to color scheme, it would be nice to display an ellipsis or some visual indicator showing that the collapsed comment does indeed have more than the one line available in the preview. It's a little thing, but I get annoyed when I click to expand a comment and there isn't any more content beyond what I read in the preview.
Finally, the light grey collapsed comment bars should NOT extend out the full width of the page. Keep the green story bars and displayed comment bars going the full width, but keep the collapsed comments visually within their parent comment (perhaps 80% of the parent comment space?).
This is a nice unit, but the CPU limits the wireless throughput. I have OpenWRT on an Asus WL-520GU, and my wireless transfer over a WPA2 link maxes out at about 6 Mbps instead of the 10 or 11 Mbps I get when connected over Ethernet cable to the box. The CPU/chipset does doesn't have enough to keep up with the encryption at the higher bitrates. I'm waiting for a good 802.11n OpenWRT supported router to be available and I'll jump right away, even though all my clients are still 802.11g only - the n routers usually have more CPU power and/or WPA2 better supported in the hardware.
Sure, Tomato is simple and pretty looking. Apart from the IPv6 issues mentioned by others, the biggest issue for me with Tomato is that it doesn't support VLANs on Broadcom hardware. OpenWRT and DD-WRT both support them, and OpenWRT is really open, so I use that. The live statistics graphs and such in Tomato have an equivalent package in OpenWRT.
Note that also, there exist 4GB SD cards as well as 4GB SDHC cards, however for devices that don't support SDHC, support for SD cards larger than 2GB is hit or miss. The SD standard actually supports up to 4GB, but as happens all too often, signed vs. unsigned values are ignored/interchanged and some devices don't support the 4GB standard SD cards.
POSIX ACLs have been around for a while, but they don't address what the parent was referring to. POSIX ACLs allow extending beyond the standard user, group and other items, allowing multiple of each - but they still only allow the standard four digit octal permissions.
The NT ACLs have that capability, but much deeper granularity (write vs. append, replace, etc). Note that NFSv4 has similar granularity - but they are definitely not simple POSIX ACLs (there needed to be explicit support added to attempt to synchronize between them).
That could be a possibility.... but I'm not sure how that's worse. As a Wii owner and not intending to get a XBox/PS3, I'd love to have some good original games from 3rd party developers.
I'm actually *hoping* that what you describe happens. I'm tired of fancy graphics on lackluster games.

Ah, and yet when will Washington state follow... (a semi-serious question, I live here).
I think you're missing the point of why the GPL is *better* than public domain. Releasing something into the public domain allows anyone (including corporate entities) to use and integrate the source code as they wish. The GPL requires that for any code using that original code must also be GPL licensed, and furthermore requires that the source to any distributed product containing GPL code to likewise be made available. This is the whole (one of the main?) point of the GPL - to give protections against adoption, changing, and closing of openly released code.
That was my first thought exactly. I recently bought a Wii and am wanted to get a nice TV (LCD, 1080p, etc, etc) but am torn because the TV would be an expensive toy and I won't buy media that is not conducive to how I personally use it[1]. Now if I can buy high-def movies and rip/transcode them as I need, it makes that more appealing. I will specifically buy the format that has the most thoroughly defeated DRM mechanism.
1. My personal use is all within legal copyright restrictions, even here in the US. How this doesn't seem to be enough for (most) media companies is beyond me.
This/. digest is someone out of left field... I read most of the comments gratuitously repeated above *in the story they are connected with*. Maybe it's just me, but what's the benefit of this new digest (or did I just miss something)?
If it becomes commonplace, please provide a category for it so we can opt-out.
As an aside, it's becoming annoying reading people who type that X "is being depreciated", unless talking about investments over time. There *is* a major difference between depreciated and _deprecated_, which is the word you were looking for.
Nothing directly against you, I've just been seeing it alot lately.
That's fine for checking against files installed from the pressed/burnt DVD, but as soon as any updates come out that replace system files they won't match. They could update a flag in a file on disk... but that doesn't really buy us anything now, does it?

As part of this though, are they going to be moving to an actual open and inclusion development process for CentOS?

Or what I feel is the better of the two main droidwall spinoffs - AFWall+

It is definitely less Google friendly named, I just noticed they added a parenthetical (Android Firewall +)
