Regardless of this, it still works with 64-bit VFL drivers. I have been using Skype on 64-bit Debian for around a year with my V4L-2 compatible webcam.
Speak for yourself. Sunbathing here in Sweden is absolutely not unhealthy at reasonable levels (IE - not without sunblock at 1PM). I also like to have a good book with me to read in the sun (on the beach/in the park or wherever) and so back-lighting *is* a problem. Also - why the hell wouldn't I take my device to the beach? Are you too clumsy to keep your stuff out of the sand?
"Wikipedia (the admins, really) is notorious for this false belief. They protect it like a religious dogma. Because they know that it would make their whole false reality break down. (Just like with religious people.)"
I don't wish to defend Wikipedia, which is often a hive of scum and villainy, but referencing your sources is absolutely *vital* and *required* practice in writing academic papers, and so should it be for all logical reasoning which is based on earlier works. You can't reasonably expect someone arguing about climate change to explain how convection and condensation work as part of their argument can you? Previous research exists which can be referred to and used - it's up to the reader to check it out and see if the sources stick, but I'd definitely agree that an argument with references is likely to be at least slightly better researched than a random stream of groundless opinion.
Oh for god's sake. It's a linux box, of COURSE it runs Pear PC.
However, it's a total waste of everyone's time. Who cares? Really? This is only interesting for twitter and digg retards. When did this sort of crap become news?! Arghh. Yes I know. I'm not new here. I'll be quiet and go back to rocking back and forth in a corner.
I agree with you. We English have a history of persecuting our great men based on their sexuality (Oscar Wilde for example).
Still, hero or nobody I imagine that goverment will have a constant supply of things to apologise for in 50 years time to which they will say "I can't believe the abhorrent and barbaric treatment of people in those times".
I suppose we should be pleased that Brown has issued this apology, just a shame he's part of a government that knew about torture of terrorism suspects under interrogation. I don't think chemical castration is any worse, and it was even legal at the time. How times have changed eh? Now the government only does awful things to you without evidence and when you've not even had a trial.
To stop this turning into a rant though, I salute you Alan Turing for bringing philosophy into Computer Science through all your pioneering AI work. You deserved far better.
I'm sure that if you took the time to use it, you would find Ubuntu's default Gnome desktop far closer to the Mac OS X than Windows. Really it has nothing like the silly amount of options that Windows has - because for 99% of users they are worse than useless, and only serve to confuse.
I am a long time Unix and Linux user, and I have to say I'm very glad that Gnome/Canonical finally made it look like a slick desktop operating system, and not some car-crash of computer scientists designing an interface.
Again, like the other respondent, I question your understanding of your own system if you believe that a simple cookie is a valid "Opt-Out" from Phorm. Maybe you could enlighten all of us Slashdotters as to how redirecting all of the traffic from a customers internet connection to the Phorm network even when the "opt-out" cookie is set is opting out?
"By contrast, ad targeting from other major Internet companies means that potentially identifiable personal data is stored for over 12 months before it is even anonymised. Also, because these companies reach nearly all UK Internet users, consumers effectively have no real choice about being targeted in this way. "
This is completely disingenuous. Whatever Google et al do with my data *I* have chosen to go to their site, *I* have chosen to perform a search. The Phorm method of gathering data is not comparable. If all of a person's HTTP traffic was routed through Google you may find a few people disagreeing with this too!
You'd hope not. But having read my customary 2% of TFA I can't say I got any further than noticing it was a Microsoft-specific SQL hack and therefore irrelevant to me!
As it goes though nmap has dredged up quite a few database ports regularly for me when I've audited external-facing networks. Slackers.
You are wrong - To use something in an alternate manner is to switch between that and another "alternative".
In this case the word is alternative NOT alternate.
Various reasons -
1. No autocomplete
2. Very slow searching in comparison to Apt
3. Very (very) slow repository comparison compared to Apt.
4. No automatic redundant package notification.
Those are my main gripes, but I just generally find it a lot less friendly. Don't mean to troll.

Woah, I was almost worried for a second before I read it was Microsoft specific!
My darling Apache and PostgreSQL may you never let evildoers overflow your fair buffers.

Makes this so easy it's hardly worth the packaging bother. Although I guess people still saddled with the atrocious Yum will like it.
