I shut down my dekstop every night. That's when it should install updates. There's no excuse for it to be nagging throughout the day to install updates when it has a perfectly good time to install updates and shut down every day.
Because it's a matter of making it not worth the criminal's time. A big company might get hacked no matter what security they have, simply due to the value in targeting them. An average person, on the other hand, simply has to not be the low-hanging fruit.
That could be foiled by putting a ^D in the copied text. The most effective way is to paste the text via the editor itself rather than the terminal ("+p in vim) or via a program like xclip.
Hah, good luck with that. Windows is awful at just letting the user do something even if they're an admin. For example, I want to plug in an NTFS drive from another system (maybe to grab some data off of it while the system is being fixed). Is there any way to get Windows to ignore the permissions of those files so that I can access them without having to alter permissions/ownership of the files? Nope. It's literally easier to plug an NTFS drive into a Linux system to grab data off it it than it is on a Windows machine.
It just has the bad parts of various paradigms, yet none of the good parts. For example, some "bad" things throw an exception, whereas others just cough up an "undefined".
That's bad news, I'm hoping by the time they go downhill, we'll actually have a production-quality ZFS implementation for Linux so you can use whatever crap drives you can find.
I'd like this simply because due to my upper body height, most cars force me to either:
1. Have my head hit the top
2. Put my arms in an uncomfortable position
3. Have the steering wheel blocking the speedometer
So it would be a huge help for me, since I wouldn't have to choose between comfort and being able to see my speed.
Because the problem solves itself. Since there are enough people convinced that GMO is the spawn of the devil, you could just label non-GMO foods as such, and those people can buy their non-GMO food. Similar to how you might label something as kosher since there's a market for it, rather than making everyone else label as non-kosher.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but doesn't it still matter for artificial waveforms like square waves, since they're a composition of sine waves going up to infinite frequencies?
Which is actually a semi-acceptable use of flash. Remember, flash was an animation suite first, then had ActionScript tacked on, which was great for browser games. Much lower barrier to entry compared to HTML+JS. Videos are a different deal, there is absolutely nothing about flash that makes it a good product for video playing, it just had a lack of competition and caught on.
The reason it's an issue is because in the typical race to the bottom, a combination of things is happening:
1. Routers are more often being built using an SoC that includes (at least one) wireless chipset.
2. Wifi cards are more often being built without builtin firmware storage, meaning it has to be loaded at runtime.
Thus, you've got a device with a wireless chipset whose firmware is either stored along with the main firmware stoarge, or has to be loaded by the OS. Think of it like a computer where the ethernet firmware was stored on the hard drive along with the OS. It would be difficult to make it impossible to modify the ethernet firmware without also preventing the user from installing an OS of their choice.
I think the worst offender might be GitHub. They didn't even make Git, they just have a fancy frontend and host some servers. What do they possibly need 568 employees for?
Nope. Your wife or someone else WAY back comitted to doing the upgrade. They clicked, "yes I want to install the upgrade when its available; reserve it now and let me know when its ready" or something along those lines.
It's still a bait-and-switch. I had initially opted into that, before it was known that they were going to have all the telemetry and other assorted bullshit in the final version. So naturally, I wanted to later opt out of it.
On the other hand, if autonomous cars pick up steam fast, lots of people will sell their old cars, meaning lower-income drivers can get used cars for a much better value (at least temporarily).
I got the reverse once. Someone sent in a resume, where they had written it in Word, then taken a screenshot, and then made a PDF out of the screenshot.
I like my Atom board, but a used laptop would be more powerful than ancient hardware while using less power. A low-power laptop with the screen off might only use 15W under full load, and about 5W idle. You could also use one of the machines as the WAP.
It is just a much more elegant solution and this is why all distros are switching to it, so get used to it.
No, distros are switching to it because the GNOME monkies made their DE dependent on it. Debian can still be run on sysvinit, Gentoo I think still defaults to OpenRC, embedded distros (contrary to your assertion) aren't exactly in a hurry to switch to it either.
The problem I have with the HAES crowd is that they're completely twisting the actual medical facts. Sort of a "knows enough to be dangerous" thing. Yes, every individual has a different natural body size. But that doesn't mean it's healthy for a naturally skinny person to be fat, or for a naturally fat person to be extremely obese (for that matter, it's not healthy for a naturally fat person to be underweight). So, while the message of not shaming fat people is fine, telling people that they are healthy at every size is dangerous. Everyone is healthy at their own size, not the "every size fits all" crap they push.
The difference is that just about everyone knows Fox is right-wing. News outlets are free to be biased as they choose. FB, on the other hand, gives people the illusion of organically-chosen news when in reality there is behind-the-scenes bias.
Yeah, okay, I JUST reinstalled Windows 7 a few weeks ago, and these are the things I had to install drivers for:
1. Ethernet (especially bad one, since you know, you can't download drivers without connectivity, so you have to use another machine)
2. Other ethernet
3. USB 3.0 controller (oh, and this one means that if your system ONLY has USB 3.0 ports, your kb/m won't work during the install)
4. Video card
5. Chipset
Of the five, #4 is the only one for which I would have to install a driver to get full functionality in Linux.
Networking especially is an embarrassment on Windows. On top of the fact that even common network cards might not work out of the box, it's up to the manufacturer's drives to support things like VLANs and bonding despite the fact that those are NIC-independent. Meanwhile on Linux I can toss in specialty stuff like 10, 40, even 100GbE cards and have them work out of the box.
Oh, and you know the worst part? Windows update will try to update my drivers for NIC #2 to a version that isn't even compatible with it.

The whole concept of a "session" is needless bloat anyway.

I can't count the times I've tried to hit Ctrl-W to delete a word in a browser. At least there's Ctrl-Shift-T.

I was thinking more along the lines of browser Java applets. Not sure which one I despise more.

They're just the loud minority. Even members of minorities that they claim to be defending are mostly normal, reasonable people.

Old UI: I could have two toolbars crammed full of buttons, allowing me to find 99% of common things without ever touching menus.
New UI: Lots of switching between ribbon tabs to access common functions.
How is that more efficient again?
