The places in the USA where one is most likely to get shot are the places where the government has the greatest precautions to prevent people from being shot. Places like New York, DC, and Chicago.
Places with a lot of people in them have a lot of gun deaths? What a surprise. However, if you divide the deaths by the number of people, a different picture emerges.
The US Constitution says, explicitly and implicitly, that the government is not allowed to restrict my right of self defense
Does it? Where? It's not the second amendment, which makes no mention of self defence. In any case, the US government does restrict your right of self defence. You are not allowed to own any weapon that would be effective against an air strike and this fact alone is enough to show the "it's to defend ourselves against the government" meme as bullshit.
No, the reason you people want to keep your guns is because you love guns, just be honest. The sad fact is that, if you own a gun, it's more likely to be used to kill you or a member of your family than an intruder.
However, I reckon you could easily hide spyware in open source software such that it is very hard to find and impossible for the vast majority of people.
If Ubuntu put spyware in their Linux distribution, how would you find it? And don't say "I'd audit the source code" because, firstly there's rather a lot of it and secondly, you have no guarantee that the source code you have is the same source code from which Canonical built the binaries.
It's anti-Apple, that's why. Apple used to be cool on Slashdot but then they remembered they needed to be profitable and started making decisions that Slashdotters don't like but (judging by their financial results) a lot of people do.
Apparently some things don't line up the way the author likes so he's having a rant.
Personally, I'm quite happy with a piece of software needing to talk over the Internet once to get activated, but software that phones home periodically and stops working if there no connection is the spawn of Satan as far as I am concerned. I used to have a big problem with Steam in this regard. It always seemed to want to phone home exactly at the time I was on a plane or a train without the Internet.
It doesn't seem so bad these days. Or perhaps that is a reflection of the ever more ubiquitous Internet coverage.
Apple can't compete against a broad and open market.
In the Smartphone market, two players make more than 100% of the profit (meaning all the rest together make a collective loss). One of those is Apple and it makes the most profit out of smartphones. Sounds to me like it is competing very well.
Never mind the grammar, ghowever you spell and capitalise it the term is complete nonsense.
Firstly, DST is generally applied in the summer when daylight hours are actually in surplus. If there's any point in the year where we need to save daylight, it is the winter.
Secondly, DST doesn't actually save any time. It may look like you have got a bit of extra daylight in the evening, but it turns out that is because it was robbed from the morning. The whole thing is some kind of scam.
Yes it is a bug, but it has been there at least since the first beta of iOS 11. They've had all the betas, the GA release and three point releases and it's still not fixed. I think the main reason is that the iOS calculator app is just a toy. It probably caught the engineers by surprise that anybody would care enough about it to make a fuss.
Thanks to all the publicity, they're going to have to fix it now. Frankly, they should have foreseen this.
You're allowed to use hands free on British roads. You're not allowed to stop on the motorways at all under normal conditions. If you want to take a call without using hands free, you must leave the motorway and pull over. Fortunately we have a clever system whereby, if you fail to pick up the phone, the caller is redirected to a service that allows them to record a message, so you can call them back.
You can use your phone as a sat-nav, but you are not allowed to touch the screen while you are driving, so you have to pull over to program them. The same rule applies to dedicated sat-navs.
You can mount your phone on the screen, but it has to be outside the area swept by the windscreen wipers. A lot of people break that rule.

Bury them in old coal mines.
You would do if they were not allowed to walk around in public with gun.

For killing people.
I like your faith.

You mean systemd-git
So an even bigger grid connection. 40 x 50 = 2000, 20 x 145 = 2900.
And that's just for 40 cars.

It's only a big reward if the coins are worth anything.
But who is going to pay for the Linux ports?
Asgard is not a place, it's a people.
I don't know how anybody has the nerve to write this after the year of wall to wall lying we've had from the victor in that election.
Open up an Apple II computer and you'll see it's made entirely from bits made by other manufacturers.

So one failed, three more are failing and one had its funding cut. Where's the destroyed one of the headline?

The USAF doesn't build its own fighter planes, why does NASA need to build its own launch vehicles?
It was noticed and reported during the first beta of iOS 11. If it's so easy to fix, why haven't they?

Doubt it. Shooting paper targets at the range is completely different to shooting people with guns firing back at you.
The best way to avoid getting shot in a gun fight is to live somewhere where people don't carry guns.
