The problem with S/MIME is the same one as exists with HTTPS. You're trusting the CAs your vendor tells you to trust (by default -- few people are smart enough to change this), many of whom are not trustworthy, not secure, or can easily be arm-twisted into providing a hostile government with a forged certificate.
Ah, this article is about freedom (open platforms) and not privacy. The two are not the same thing. Apple and Facebook are certainly threats to freedom (in the sense of open platforms), but both Google and Facebook are threats to privacy.
The emphasis on training (not learning) what businesses want and being replaceable cogs in the machine was something that drove me away, very quickly, from software engineering.
Considering Martin was shot by Zimmerman, this condition may have been met before any altercation started. But we can only speculate.
Overall, I think the entire thing has been badly mishandled by the police, the prosecutors, the media, and the public. It has been blown out of proportion by the media, the public reacted with mob justice in mind as a result, and the police/prosecutors appear to have not done anything resembling due diligence in investigating the death of a teenager (as, whether or not it would have led to an arrest, it seems there was essentially no investigation to begin with).
The great grandparent must be one of the only blatantly racists posts to get +5 Insightful. I guess it's a blessing he didn't reference the GNAA, at least...
If you do something, like re-edit a Star Wars release privately and noncommercially, and speak publicly against it, they then have cause to investigate you for breaking the DRM. You publicly spoke of doing something that is not possible to do without having broken a law -- even if the act you were directly speaking of is not itself illegal.
Look up the processor's voltage VID range -- it should be on the Intel spec sheets, such as the one for the i7-980X. In the case of that processor, anything between 0.800V and 1.375V is considered 'safe'.
As far as how high a boost in speed you can get out of a processor without changing the voltages, it depends on your specific chip and how close to overvolting you get. Most of the time you can get 1-1.5 GHz extra (sometimes more) out of the chip before overvolting it (rarely do any overclockers actually overvolt chips -- there's little need, unless you're going for some sort of record), and an easy 0.5 GHz or more without even touching the voltage at all.
Overvolting, last I checked, was the only actual thing Intel won't warranty replace for. If you don't overvolt (outside specs, not outside 'standard' voltage -- on my i7 standard is ~1.20v and overvolting is >1.35v) and the processor dies, it'll be replaced whether it was overclocked or not. And you can get a huge bump on clock frequency on most processors without a single bit of extra voltage (in my case, >700MHz without touching voltages at all).
It depends heavily on your hardware, too -- especially for laptop systems. Particularly on brand new machines, there's often things that just don't work or don't work by default yet, though these pieces of hardware often have their support (and default setup) improved over the span of a few years -- which, for some people, is just in time to replace their old machine.
There's a difference between protesting against certain odious forms of advertising and simply stealing content.
It's not 'stealing content' to determine what I do and do not wish to download or execute on my computer. I simply do not feel I can trust any advertisers to not be obtrusive, potential insecurity vectors, or abuse my privacy.
I'd like to second the "Fuck you.", and also throw in the absurd "crime bill" that comes at a time when crime rates are their lowest in decades, and is still being pushed through, despite Texas Republicans writing an open letter saying, paraphrased, "that shit don't work".
Fuck Harper, and the Conservatives. A majority with less than 40% of the popular vote? Maybe you should worry about pissing off the Canadian public just a little too much.
Depending on the context, sprained ankles can make sense -- some sprains are difficult for the layperson to differentiate from a break.
Sore throats... Well, not unless someone is immune suppressed or they're in a situation where a walk-in clinic or their regular general practitioner is unavailable.
Gnome 2? Feh. Real Gnome admirers are nostalgic for Gnome 1.
...I know the first time I ever tried using Nautilus, I was turned off of Gnome 2+ forever more (though I've heard it got not-as-bad after a few years). If I remember correctly, my pains were due to it's web browser-like approach to file managing, and its obsession with mime types (making it near-impossible, at least originally, to just assign opening a file extension with a certain command).
Fair use is not solely determined on length of the copied passage -- in fact, that's not a determining factor in the law at all, it's merely the convention.

That system is a total hack and not a standard.

It's a societal thing. We're essentially indoctrinated to believe that anything which doesn't make someone money is a waste of time.
We do have Saskatchewan. They've not used daylight savings time anywhere in the province for about forty years.

You can't indemnify an entity against lawsuits from a third party.

The issue is how much money they can get for that endorphin release, and how often they can continue to get it.

Uh, Chrome's even worse than Firefox when it comes to forced upgrades...
Harper wants to enforce minimum sentences on all drug offenses, including jail time. Really.

We need to teach everyone how to use computers. We don't need to teach everyone with computers.
I have no trouble both underpaying them more and reducing the onerous training requirements for being a doctor.
So you want an undertrained, underpaid doctor operating on you, your friends, and your family?
Wow.
It's odd that they consider EULAs to be simple and the GPL to be complicated.
I'm still not convinced the article wasn't a sarcastic commentary on how stupidly safe toys have become.

This is a blog entry, and a short one at that.
Obviously typing blog posts on an iPad doesn't work as well as the submitter wants to make himself believe.
