My noscript, by default, blocks wikimedia.org, and I saw no blackout at all until I disabled noscript. Lame. They should have really done the blackout instead of a script from a different domain.
If someone is broadcasting their 'sensitive data' by shouting through a bullhorn for the whole world to hear, they shouldn't be surprised if someone wrote down what they heard, nor should they complain.
We are in the same state because our IT hires the cheapest vendors for any given task, and historically, they provide IE6-only web apps, like our expense management system and our Siebel ticketing system. If I even try 50% of internal web apps with a standards compliant browser, I only get a partial page or a blank page.
Why not publicly humiliate the vendors who write only for IE?
I backed up my home directories and attempted an upgrade. It failed, miserably. I wiped and did a clean install of 9.10 and since then have had no issues at all.
I did a little bit of research, but it didn't seem like a good open source platform to play with. I couldn't find a site with publicly downloadable dev tools

Seriously. Couldn't find the tools? How hard did you really look?
How about putting the escape key in a normal place, like left of F1, not above it? My thinkpad and most of the others I've seen are as such. Or are you saying I shouldn't use vim?
It seems to me that as technology advances, many titles focus on looking and sounding amazing, never mind the total lack of gameplay or even fun.
I know it's not a platformer, but I have more fun playing Zelda 3 for SNES than pretty much any modern game.
The same goes for most of the mario titles, sonic, mega man, castlevania.
Even older RPGs are still a lot of fun, like phantasy star 2+ for genesis, FF1, dragon warrior, etc.
I think that nowadays so much more time is spent on the graphics and sound, something which had its limit and was fixed back in the day, more time was made available for make a game technically well made, responsive, fun to play.
" ABP users are informed both on the install and on the release notes
pages, so they can easily disable the filterset if they whish to."
I saw no suck information on the install. I just removed and reinstalled NS, and while the subscription is added, I don't see where in the install the user is informed.
That's nice. Personally, I rather like my adblockers. I save bandwidth not downloading all those images, I save time in that it takes less time for a page to load, and everything is just...nicer.
I disagree, though. I think it should be the user's choice as to whether they want to see ads or not, not yours, and not anyone else's.
He's asking about the long run, not a patch cable. Shouldn't this be terminated on a patch panel, or the like, on each end, with shorter patch cables going from the patch panel to the dmarc/whatever? Building infrastructure is generally like this, no? I say use pre-made patch cables to go from your patch panels to whatever they go to, and run the cable yourself and terminate it well on a patch panel.
I gave you my first mod. I agree. It's not good if it doesn't work, and if that's your experience, then it's a bad one. I do think you're in the minority, though. I've been fortunate never to have an issue on several machines, amd and intel, laptops and desktops. I do prefer fedora on my server, but for regular desktop needs I love this distro so far, and I haven't even felt itchy to switch, as was the case with with slackware, gentoo, fedora, freebsd, solaris 10, and of course XP and vista.
I'm upgrading now, online. I have nothing of value to add, but generally doesn't stop ^them^ so, you know what they say.
It took a while for the on-line upgrade process to do something. I killed it twice after being impatient. Once it told me it timed out waiting for the release notes. I tried again evoking it from bash as found from the process table,/usr/bin/python2.5/usr/bin/update-manager, hoping to see some terminal output, but I didn't see much.
I guess that's okay because it showed me the release notes, let me click, and I have a nice little "distribution upgrade" box that gives me a status. It's cute.
I did the same from 8.04lts to 8.10, and it was smooth sailing. I think todays difficulties are obvious. I'd be interested to see their download status.
I hardly call free (as in beer) a lack of incentive.
Regarding it not being faster, I'd disagree there as well. I got a new laptop with vista pre-installed, and I even convinced myself that I just needed to get used to it before condemning it as I immediately did. After a week, I installed a Linux distro and couldn't be happier. In the time it took for the machine to just boot up and be usable under vista, I can start up, check my email, check a few websites, and shut down.
The comment about the linux community patenting software that that only runs on Linux speaks for itself.
I think the general public is more concerned with freedom as in beer than the freedom of the software. Most of the general public has heard the term 'open source' but doesn't know what that actually means.
Furthermore, there really isn't much incentive for people to use Linux when their computers all come with an OS installed already, and there is almost never any savings in getting a computer without a proprietary OS installed.
I think a more successful tactic would be to illustrate that MS and Apple are in it for the money, and the GNU/Linux/OSS community is in it because they love it.
Of course, none of this matters until device manufacturers release open drivers for their hardware. Jane and John Doe are going to use what works before they use what's free.
Sales tax when media or other tangible goods exchanged is acceptable. Taxing the sharing of the intangible is asinine. Why not tax for having ides, next?
My only beef with this article is that in their final comparison chart as well as in their write up, they act like firefox doesn't have a privacy mode, so to speak. Since you can always clear it manually with tools>clear priate data now, or by setting it to do so automatically under edit>preferences>privacy>always clear my private data when I close firefox, I would argue that it does indeed have a privacy mode, even though it's not explicitly called that.
What makes php more inherently insecure compared to other scripting languages that a web app might use? There are plenty of functions to "sanitize" input and satisfy the other "major rules," so why is php scrutinized more than others?

The Droid X has the efuse. The Droid 2 does not.
either way, that's why I went with the HTC Incredible instead of any Motorola products.

What if you just didn't use their crappy software?

When I first heard about Ubuntu, I thought to myself, "Great, a user friendly Linux distro!" Then I had chance to actually try and use it.
Not impressed. Not at all. It's user friendly, to a point.
I'm sure the distro you made is much better.
I block google-analytics with noscript in firefox. You would be better off logging all requests and looking at user agent strings.
T mobile has spotty 3G coverage, period. I have a G1 and it's always been like that, as well as pretty much everyone else.

I thought this discussion was about android? What does the inferior hardware of one certain phone have to do with the OS itself?

Yes. If using ssl to secure whatever application is in question, they cannot see past the transport layer.

oddly enough I'm half serious. I think having a 'leader' of 'color' will help to improve foreign relations.
