Not to be personal mind you, but why not use RSS feeds instead? I realize Twitter made it much easier than before, but here we're on/. and all.
But seriously, I wonder why more people don't use RSS to monitor twitter feeds like the %$#@! POTUS, rather than 'subscribing' and somewhat identifying themselves;...not to mention since I started with a good example, many of the citizenry have been actively blocked by the twitter-account-holder directly?
The last few routers I've bought for family and friends have been TP-Link, and of course I immediately flash them all with OpenWRT. The last two routers I bought had firmware from October that was locked down, just like TFA makes note of. I wasn't pleased with the google effort and time required to get to where I wanted to go.
As I recall, first I had to find a sort of neutral flashing dd-wrt firmware from early last year, that was possible to be flashed by TP-Link's firmware. Then, since TP-Link's October's firmware was useless, I had to flash the router with a much older version of their firmware, making the unit an April TP-Link router. Once I got that far, I was able to flash to OpenWRT as planned.
I'm happy with the units price and performance under OpenWRT, however I will look to other vendors from now on. Of course I must also blame the FCC, which sort of hurts because lately the FCC has been making a lot of good calls for its actual constituents, (while ignoring its paid-for lobbyists).

My IBM ThinkPad T440p has a lighted keyboard with two levels of brightness. The best keyboard I've ever had in a notebook, and it has a nipple too! The rugged yet lightweight black boxy design is nice too.
I must agree, EncFS is a great way to go. I use SSHFS with Ubuntu, and can simply mount any encrypted volume (including a remote volume) as a local PC disk. Here's a simple GUI tool for Ubuntu: http://www.libertyzero.com/GEn...
I am pleased to have learned of Windows & OSX versions of the same thing today. Thanks!!!
Gotta agree, StartSSL has a serious business model that really does work in their best interest. Yeah, sure they give out free certs, until/unless you have the slightest 'professional' website, (like a portfolio site, with the sole intent of landing a job for example), and as others have pointed out, revocations cost more then a certificate from someone else to begin with.
Why is that part about revocations an issue in the first place you might ask? Because their poor user interface lead you to making a mistake that can only be done with a revocation, of course. Stay away from StartSSL and just pay good money for a cheap cert somewhere; a wildcard cert. if need be.
I learned this lesson the hard way *trying* to use StartSSL myself, and I have serious regrets having done so, especially after having to cough up all the documentation like a scan of my passport and more. You have been warned.
In contrast, the new service from 'Let's Encrypt' looks like a well-deserved breath of fresh air, and I can appreciate their list of business partners, especially EFF, the Mozilla Foundation, and the Linux Foundation.
Thank you! Because No Way would we ever be able to use metric measurements in Arizona. Just because they're special. Probably the most metric thing in the state is the London Bridge.
Point well made!...still, it shouldn't be so difficult to set the non-ntp devices, using the ntp devices as a reference, (especially when bugs appear, as happens during these seasonal changes). And even without paying a while lot of attention, you still can kind of expect bugs to happen about this time in the season.
Is this why we come to Slashdot? Because we don't know what ntp is, or how it works, so we don't really have to think about it a whole lot? I can't see how this qualifies as news for nerds. What a waste of a front-page article.
Or you could just use RSS and not have to sign up for anything, and be watched and mined by the central Twitter overlord. Yes, RSS even works with Twitter, (and we are on slashdot).
The hired help can claim to have been doing their job all along, but it was really hard, what with all that public opposition and all.
Who wants to fight for lobbyist's interests when the cause is clearly lost and 4 MILLION AMERICANS WROTE TO VOICE THEIR OPINION DIRECTLY TO THE FCC? But the hired can certainly say they tried hard to serve 'their interests' to those that might come calling in the future.
It is not as if the hired help actually believed they ever served the public's stated interests.
These employees perform the crucial work of installing, maintaining and managing Edison's computer hardware and software for functions as varied as payroll and billing, dispatching and electrical load management across Edison's vast power generating and electric transmission network. The workers I interviewed are in their 50s or 60s and have spent decades serving as loyal Edison employees.
"They told us they could replace one of us with three, four, or five Indian personnel and still save money," one laid-off Edison worker told me, recounting a group meeting with supervisors last year. "They said, 'We can get four Indian guys for cheaper than the price of you.' You could hear a pin drop in the room."
They're not the sort of uniquely creative engineering aces that high-tech companies say they need H-1B visas to hire from abroad, or foreign students with master's degrees or doctorates from U.S. universities who also can be employed under the H-1B program. They're experienced systems analysts and technicians for whom these jobs have been stairways from the working class to five- or six-figure middle-class incomes. Many got their training at technical institutes or from Edison itself.
This worker and the half-dozen others I interviewed asked to remain anonymous because their severance packages forbid them to speak disparagingly about the company."
You may be right, I don't know. I just want to point out an open-source javacript is called superfish, and I'm pretty sure this library is something else entirely, and benign. http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birc...
Good point and I am otherwise inclined to agree with you except for one thing: kid's tastebuds and their general sense of taste is nothing like ours. By the time you are an adult, a good percentage of of the sense of taste you had when you were growing up is already lost. This is why infants do best on extremely bland blended peas and such. The GP makes a strong argument from experience.
Speaking for myself, my mother smoked until I was 7 years of age. When I was about 5, I distinctly remember pestering her to try smoking myself, and (surprise!) I don't smoke and never have. On the other hand I know a guy with kids who has always smoked a lot in his house while his kids were growing up the whole time, and he once tried my advice. His problem was the kids were already so used to household smoke and they were already a bit older, and they could actually deal with the smoke, sadly. And those kids are adults now and I know at least 1 (of 2) of them smoke.
FWIW, Mavericks runs reasonably well (with glitchy sound but I could care less) using VMware on my ASUS motherboards, but Yosemite really eats up resources and is unusable. I wouldn't think about doing this on VirtualBox though, not worth the effort or instability.
For the last 10 years, I've mainly only purchased ASUS motherboards, netbooks, monitors, and the occasional router. ASUS is truly massive and makes a lot of good stuff for a long time already. During the netbook era it looked like they were gonna hedge heavily on Linux, then Microsoft leaned on them heavily and they reversed course.

Why bother with creating effective malware when social engineering can yield far more, while consuming fewer resources?

That text was handy, because Monday morning I submitted it to Slashdot as an article, but it didn't get past the firehose to the front page.
Here, let me back up your point with last week's news from the LA Times:
