  1. Re:23 years of being a rounding error on Linux 3.17-rc2 Release Marks 23 Years of the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    Last I heard, Chromebook sales were good... Linux inside there too.

  2. Re:TRIM not always good on Out-of-the-Box, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS To Support TRIM On SSDs · · Score: 1

    By default, LUKS ignores (errors, actually) those discard/TRIM messages at the block device layer, preventing the SSD from processing them. You have to explicitly override this in order to TRIM a block device under an encrypted filesystem, in which case you're on your own.

  3. Capitalism at work on NetFlix Caught Stealing DivX Subtitles From Finnish Pirates · · Score: 1, Funny

    This is an excellent example of capitalism at work: they went with the lowest-cost supplier!

  4. Legal issues? on Microsoft Blocks FSF Donation Website As a 'Gambling Site' · · Score: 1

    It seems that this could be considered an anti-competitive practice that might have some legal consequences for Microsoft. They are basically using their privileged position to prevent their own clients from donating funds to an open source 'competitor'.

  5. Re:Home of the free and the land of the brave? on CISPA Bill Obliterates Privacy Laws With Blank Check of Privacy Invasion · · Score: 0, Troll

    Technically, the motto is "In God We Trust". Don't worry, Obama forgot too :-)

  6. Apple on US Judge Rules Against German Microsoft Injunction · · Score: 2

    I'm sure that Apple must be keeping a close eye on this case, given their own worldwide legal shenanigans.

  7. Actual 10th grade questions on Are You Better At Math Than a 4th (or 10th) Grader? · · Score: 1

    As others have pointed out, these questions are for 4th and 8th graders. The Florida sample questions for 10th graders, i.e. the level of test that this guy flunked are here: http://fcat.fldoe.org/pdf/sample/0910/reading/FL517300_10_Rdg_TB_WT_r2g.pdf These still seem to be pretty straightforward for anyone with a BSc and double Masters...

  8. Credit card number exposure on Android Dev Demonstrates CarrierIQ Phone Logging Software On Video · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When somebody installs a skimmer on an ATM or fuel pump, there are criminal penalties for (attempted) fraud. How is this software any different?
