In 1999, Mandrake was the first distro I ever got installed and running 100%. I've long since abandoned it, but it's a happy memory.
Same here. (Well, x86 linux because I had MkLinux running on a Mac, but that was almost idiot proof.) Getting the sound card going was quite a bitch, iirc. Not quite the "having to fiddle with interrupts and memory ranges" days, but it was close.
Given that they (Facebook) currently censor many posts, given that they continually force us to view "most popular" (by their arbitrary ranking)... why should we trust their "news" ?
I wish those that use it... would find another medium.
Sounds like you should follow your own advice based on the "we."
Playing madlibs with redacted documents is fun. "I think that if 'SEAN CONNERY' 'HIT A HOME RUN' then 'ASTRONOMY' because.'RAISIN' 'DANCE' 'FEVER'. Really.
Someone should make an app that turns redacted documents into adlib games. It would get the cellphone generation reading national security documents
Not only does a circle have no end, so does the the/. "jokes." This is a good one, though. Why don't they just bring back ZOMG PONIES! and be done with it?
Second? is there anyone here who DOESN'T use newegg just to configure the initial build, only to switch to amazon (with it's lower prices) to complete the purchase? Just sayin...Newegg was cheaper...in the early 2000s. Amazon actually rules the roost now, even though it's website blows balls (newegg isn't doing so hot these days either, with it's downgrade in UI experience.)
I guess the word "historically" has no special meaning to you?
I've never trusted the online "tester' sites. The paranoid side of my brain says the site's purpose is, "Hey, let's take this guy's clever password that a dictionary/brute force attack would never ever be able to break, hash it out,and then compare the hash to others we've already stolen. Profit!"
Your belief that only guily people are being killed is amusing.
Your apparent belief that guilty people only kill once is naive and foolish. More innocent people are killed by repeat killers than innocents are by the State.
It's more expensive than life imprisonment, it's more likely to have catastrophic consequences if a miscarriage of justice occurs, and it's less of a punishment.
If the prospect of life imprisonment is more of a punishment than death why do most of the prisoners on death row fight tooth and nail and tie up the appeals process to get out of the death penalty?
If you are referring to the DNA clearing the guy -- then yes the 'system worked'. However, you are overlooking the fact that this familial DNA technique caused an innocent man to be inconvenienced and harassed. Why are people so complacent about the abuses of police and judicial system. A warrant should have never been issued for such a lousy technique.
This isn't an abuse. This is the system working (as well as it can, though getting him in to the office on a lie is kind of skeevy). And since even the cleared suspect is considering the branches of his family tree even he's buying into the validity of the technique.

There's no version of this story where I install that app on my personal phone.
If they want to issue me a company phone to put that on, then so be it. And I'll leave that phone behind at work when I leave.
There's no version of the story that says it's her phone. It IS a company phone. RTFA!
...of the poor stigmatized pigs!
Oh wait.

This is the next logical step: move towards hosting the entire internet inside Facebook.
The Matrix has nothing on Facebook.
The last 70 years of Jewish politics have been dominated by Holocaust fallout.
Is that what we're calling Zionism now? At what point does the attempted genocide stop being 'fallout' and become its own thing?
When everyone involved on either side is dead.
All it takes is one guy with a grudge to undo you.
Exactly. Just like when Larry Ellison said that there weren't any holes in Oracle....
Moral of the trial appears to be "Don't mess with the feds unless you've been granted too big to fail status".
That's it exactly. If I recall, only one person went to jail over the whole meltdown mess.

Only if it's tweeted...with an Instagram pic.
Windows 3.0 ships in 1990, ushering in the era of graphics on computers
I think Apple might have something to say about that claim....

Neither the headline, nor the original article say.

Dream on. Half the sites out there don't even allow a hyphen or a plus sign in an email address.

> His mother, Brenda Willson, says her son is innocent and does not smoke, drink or have tattoos. "He would never swat," she says.
With a mother as stupid as this, no wonder he's behaving like an asshole.
No kidding. Both nature and nurture are against him.
"If a someone released from prison murders again then it's the State that failed to rehabilitate."
And the victim is every bit as dead.
Your belief that only guily people are being killed is amusing.
Your apparent belief that guilty people only kill once is naive and foolish. More innocent people are killed by repeat killers than innocents are by the State.
The zero-one-infinity rule says otherwise.
No, it says that they should get one appeal.
But, the murderer is no longer a burden on society.
And there's that 0.00% recidivism rate.....
It's more expensive than life imprisonment, it's more likely to have catastrophic consequences if a miscarriage of justice occurs, and it's less of a punishment.

'm sorry you're too simple minded to realize how flawed your justice system is, and how many innocents had their lives taken by it
Conversely, how many innocent lives were taken by the recidivists. I daresay that number is quite larger.

Anthem is citing "company policy" that prohibits third party access to its network
I guess the hackers didn't read--or failed to abide by--that policy. Kind of like "gun-free zone" which only deters the law-abiding.
Ah... the Yamato-class. Largest battleships ever built, but largely obsolete before they ever went out to sea.
Well, close. It was totally obsolete before it ever went to sea. Unfortunately, no one listened to Billy Mitchell.
