full access to running programs on my home Linux PC from anywhere, with HUGE battery life, at less than 2 lbs and $250. With x2go I can run applications remotely, and the chromebook only has to handle the UI, not the actual processing.

x2go btw is amazing, tunneling linux application's interfaces through ssh, so they feel like they're running on the chromebook, but aren't. If you can set up ssh, you can set up x2go.
I agree it's bad form not to put the router models in the summary. But from the press release...
Exploit shown in this video has been tested on Cisco Linksys WRT54GL, but other Linksys versions/models are probably also affected.
(emphasis mine)
Incidentally, re: the GL model of the Linksys-- the "L" I'm pretty sure stands for Linux, and was the model that was in response to everyone reinstalling dd-wrt and other firmware...
Any recommendations anyone have for a good free Android alternative for something to take quick snapshots, apply a basic filter, and share them with people? Tried Vignette and Retro Camera and they both sucked compared to Instagram.
I am not a instagram (or facebook, for that matter) user, but I did take a quick look at Pixlr-OMatic and it's probably what you're looking for.
Simple except that some banks are so big and entangled into the system that if they go down, it would start a chain reaction that would take down the entire financial system, destroying other banks, creating runs, destroying pensions, toppling industries and ultimately collapsing the entire world economy.
This isn't an ordinary situation with two lemonade stores competing against each other. These are companies that have gotten so huge that entire governments depend on their existence. The consequences of their failure is so significant that countries are forced to essentially pay them if they ever get in danger of bankrupcy. Hence the bailouts.
The "fundamental rules of capitalism" don't allow a company to profit exorbitantly to the point that any failure can tank the entire system. Reward requires risk. And the heads of these companies know that there is no risk really-- not to them personally because they have golden parachutes and bonuses that pay out before the cumulative damage to their companies is done-- and not to the company, because existentially losses will be covered by the government/people to avoid the destruction of the world economy.
Another series he did, besides "In Search Of..." (which was a cool show) from the early 80s that for some reason doesn't show up on his IMDB pagewas on Nickelodeon called
It was broken into segments where they showed "behind the scenes" making-of videos of movies including "Gandhi", "The Meaning of Life", and "Return of the Jedi" (examples here)
Trading this fast brings the market closer to optimal economic efficiency, where prices at any instant accurately reflect value. Latency contributes to the very inefficiencies that you blame these "large investment firms" from profiting off of.
Franken asked the audience of bloggers how long it would take before the Fox News website loads significantly more quickly than the Daily Kos website.
The more likely model of what will happen is not that the internet companies will favor conservatives over liberals, but rather that they will favor companies by size.
Isn't that exactly what Franken suggested?
Fox News = big mainstream media Daily Kos = small online-only political blog
I listened to him on every Sunday, The Funny Five and music skits, But now that his show is all finished, I can't help but feeling like Shaving cream, be nice and clean Shave every day and you'll always look keen!
Consider the show "Way of the Master". Ask a person if they ever lied? They're a liar. Ask if they've ever stolen? They're a thief. Ask if they've ever lusted after another? They're an adulterer.
How's this for a response?
I see. Well, Kirk, have you ever lost anything? What does that make you? A loser? Okay, why should I listen to a loser?
I am wondering though, is net neutrality going to end up a victim of partisan politics? The FCC under Obama says "Net Neutrality good" so the GOP leadership says "Net Neutrality bad" for no reason other than taking the opposite side of Obama...
The WePad thinks it can compete with the iPad with hardware features but will run Linux... which is a server or desktop OS. Apple didn't use their desktop version of Mac OS X on the iPhone, the iPod touch and the iPad for a good reason: portable, touch devices need customized interfaces otherwise it just sucks.
The WePad will use a "Linux-based" OS, namely Android, which has an interface perfect for a tablet.
I see this all the time in Bittorrent discussions, but there seems to be a double standard once the GPL comes into play. How can something be stolen if I still have a copy? Also, I wasn't going to develop the code anyways, so you didn't lose anything. And non-GPL distribution will actually _help_ the official version by making more people aware of it.
Double-standard? What are you talking about? The GPL is not a piracy license; it depends on copyright law.

I suspect the Stasinopoúlou Post wouldn't have attracted the same traffic.

Steven Fry agrees:
But it's not easy to see why potential poets and philosophers face a lofty mathematics bar
Spoken like a man who has never taken a philosophy class...

So it's not so simple, really.

Marketwatch had an editorial on this as well.
Who regulates this-- the FCC or the FTC?
So is Facebook now officially the same thing as AOL from 15 years ago, minus keywords?

Not to mention Jeremy Bentham. Someone should bring this up at one of University College London's council meetings.

Let's just relax and listen to this episode of Planet Money on high-frequency trading.
I know. It's NPR. They fired Juan Williams. Whatever. (FWIW: on the Diane Rehm show from Friday, they defend Williams, say there was a "rush to judgement" and say that NPR went "off the handle". You'd NEVER see most news employees do that on-air.)

I thought the same thing. No mention of it at all on the trinity forum.
This isn't good. Neooffice has been an OS X treasure for what, a decade or more?

Drupal Drupal ... Drupal. wft is Drupal?
Sounds like you're singing The Drupal Song, which conveniently explains what Drupal is while infecting your brain. (Unplugged).
Or you could try Wikipedia.

It sounds like you're thinking of some variant of the prisoner's dilemma, which is a classic, basic example of a non-zero-sum game.
A STRANGE GAME.
THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS
NOT TO PLAY.
HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF CHESS?
