The prez has a Nobel peace prize, like Mother Teresa. What can you possibly be afraid of?
Ooooh, peace through sadistic corruption. He really is following in her footsteps...
According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, "when you strike at a king, you must kill him". Merely spilling his blood nonfatally can leave you getting unwanted attention from an irate king and his cohorts of stooges.
On all of our PCs, Opera and Firefox are set to clear their caches and delete all cookies etc. every time they exit.
Also, I occasionally clear all private data while browsing in Opera, including the cache, cookies, history, and so forth (passwords are never saved by the browser). Obviously, I have to log in again the next time I visit slashdot.
They were beaten to most of the features of Google Earth by Microsoft Terraserver, which launched first.
Which was beaten to most of its features by NASA Worldwind, which launched first.
BTW, the original Terraserver (i.e. non-Microsoft) came first, but lacked most of the features we know in such services today, such as stitching images together into a globe.

But I can read it on your machine before you encrypt it, cos I'm the NSA and if Microsoft won't give me a back door (usually they do), I just lean on Nvidia, Hewlett Packard, or someone to write me a trojan into their drivers so I can get my back door. It's trivial.
This is one of the reasons that El Reg pointed us to the NSA's own recommendation to USE LINUX. Specifically, use a hardened Linux which is far more secure than any version of Windows, and rather less prone to insertion of back doors into drivers. Here's the relevant bit from El Reg:
"Buy new machines for cash from a shop and harden them against attack: why not (again) take the NSA's own advice and make sure you're using Security-Enhanced Linux, a series of patches for the open-source OS that are now part of Linus Torvalds' official mainline kernel."
i'm going to wait for the scanner from Matterform. http://www.matterform.net/
Looks very promising at half the price.
Roughly half the price for less than half the capability is not all that that compelling. Matterform only sells a 3D scanner, not a 3D scanner with a 3D printer.
Exactly. There was an article in National Geographic on our sugar lust recently. It says that the substitution of fat and cholesterol led to greatly increased use of sugar in many foodstuffs. The consequences have been dire after a decade or so, and everywhere that follows this trend.
If TF wins, then they're entitled to attorney fees and lost money.
That's lawsuit 101. Loser pays.
"Loser pays" is the rule in the UK and a number of other places. It is by no means the rule in the US, unless the court rejects the charges "with prejudice", thus allowing the cleared defendant to launch a separate legal action to recover their legal costs (success is not guaranteed).
We've been using Dihrdrogen Monoxide for cooling for decades. And it has angstrom size particles!
Is this guy claiming his way is better because he's tossing something the relative size of beach balls into his kiddie ball pit?
It's just another slashvertisement. Presumably this sort of thing pays well enough.
Angstrom sized molecules do the cooling better, whether H2O or an actual refrigerant. Zalman don't even say what their "nano" particles are, other than being gigantic in comparison.
Depending where in the world you buy it, the name of the sequel is different. In most of the world, it's The Moat Around Murcheson's Eye, but in the US it's The Gripping Hand.
Maybe he isn't using Ubuntu? Or maybe he wanted a smaller memory footprint/fewer features?
And many of us who were using Ubuntu (since Warty days), took one look at the ghastliness of Unity, and promptly migrated to XFCE a couple of years ago (the Xubuntu flavor for us).
Both GIF and PNG animations work fine in Opera 12.16 and in Firefox 23. Only the GIF animations work in Chromium 28. Double drat that Opera is going to switch to Webkit, and thus lose the animated PNG feature.
Is it supposed to be running on the students own machines? Not school desktops or school laptops or laptops given away from the school?
The workstation specifications are given here. Booting from external media (DVD, USB) is a requirement, so although it's not stated, I'd expect that running Digabi inside a VM would not count.
And don't let real science get in the way of your misconceptions, either. The nature of the link between solar cycles and climate is largely unknown, and is a topic of ongoing research (as you would have gleaned by actually reading the article you linked to). Variation in solar output is a bit more complex than merely noting the range of sunspot numbers or coverage of the solar disk over a cycle. The total output varies by less than 0.1% over a cycle, but its spectral content also varies.
If one were to give your "theory" any credence, then the world must have been cooling for the last half century, as solar cycle 19 was more intense than any since then. FYI, here are the butterfly diagrams for the last century or so of solar cycles.
Exactly. For example, using secret phrase = Lumberjack
Password for www.google.com = sgvxVFFXbMPJNGAeOtKn7L
Password for www.ebay.com = sFnDZyrK0Ah4ma
Password for www.amazon.com = JNo9bhQa54DgPqHrR
No need to remember anything much, other than the single common phrase. I don't even bother trying to remember passwords, and certainly don't allow any browser to store them: copy-paste does it all. An advantage of using a script such as this is that the password for any site can be regenerated on any PC, even if it's not one you normally use, just by knowing the single secret phrase (the script exists on all of our home PCs). The truly paranoid may wish to delete their bash history intermittently, or before logging out, of course.
But what about typing hundreds of passwords?
Once you have more than a few, you resort to a crutch of some sort.
Here's a crutch. Just paste it to something like safepassword.sh in/usr/local/bin or similar:
#!/bin/bash
# script: safepassword
# this script depends on sha512sum
if [ "$2" = "" ]
then
echo "usage: safepassword constant_key password_purpose"
echo " where constant_key is a string of printable non-whitespace characters,"
echo " and password_purpose is a memorable string related to the purpose of"
echo " the password, e.g. a website address. Since the script removes any"
echo " characters outside 0-9 a-z A-Z it is possible that the password will"
echo " be too short in some cases."
else
echo -n "%1-%2" | sha512sum | xxd -r -p | tr -cd [:print:] | sed -e "s/[^0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]//g" | sed -e "s///g"
echo
fi
The script is indented, but stupid slashcode ignores characters.
Prior to Jelly Bean 2 (Android 4.2), Android didn't really have multiuser capabilities. How many Android devices in the field are running Jelly Bean 2? Many are still shipping with Gingerbread (2.3). And as I understand it, phones still don't ship with multiuser; only 7" and bigger tablets do. You have to root to get multiuser on a phone.
Perhaps this is true in the USA, but not everywhere else. I have Android 4.1 on my GS3 (unrooted), and it supports multiple user accounts.
Cameron gets to go to his shrill and reactionary base and go "see, now the kiddies can't see the titties!"
"... online. Which is much worse somehow than seeing them in the newspapers somehow." They still have that, right? Was it the Sun that had naked women on the second page?
I know a lot of "normal users" who are just fine with Gnome 3.
Lies.
GP's statement is manifestly untrue, but not necessarily a lie. GP may fervently believe in some "imaginary users", and be utterly sincere. They go along with the "imaginary friends" that Gnome developers have. Faith overrides the fact that users are fleeing, as usual.
Based on this (and your many other bizarre posts), can we assume you're a relative of Yogi Berra?
After all, Yogi apparently said "Half of the lies they tell about me aren't true."

as far as that goes has anybody done a Ribbon Interface pack for LO??
One hopes not.
It sounds like a product made by sadists and installed only by masochists.
How well has that worked so far?
Well, just take some BZ with it, and you'll not have to worry about it...

It's probably just a buffer overrun on the Prism-Google interface.
So whose exploit took advantage of that?
Romanian mafia or Byelorussian mafia?

Theory and reality are the same, in theory. In reality, however...
