I should give this OpenBSD Linux a spin. Is this distro Debian or Redhat based? What packaging system does it use. Would that be DEBs or RPMs or did they choose something different?
My model M uses a PS/2 connector. I have an older Northgate keyboard that does have the DIN plug. Strangely enough, the M on the Northgate keyboard is not working well. Hmmm...
Good reason to version backups. Mine go to a new directory (e.g..../backup//dd/... And when 'dd' == 01, it goes to.../backup//yyyy-mm-dd/... and is complete. The rest are incremental. And a copy goes offsite via ssh so even if they got to my local backup server (*) the remote server would remain intact.
(*) My backup server is not that fast. I'd likely recognize the issue before it was fully encrypted.
Sadly, I'm running Linux so I probably won't get a chance to prove that my strategy works.
It's irrelevant, really. Trump has absolutely no chance of winning....
Trump has absolutely no chance of winning the Primary.
Or so I thought. And I was wrong, along with a lot of others. I would like to agree with you but I am not so certain.
Both Trump and Clinton are widely disliked. That will suppress voter turnout. With fewer votes it is easier for the election to tip one way or the other. This election may be decided more by who does not vote than those who do. Those of us who agree that a Trump presidency would be a Bad Thing(tm) can only hope that Trump is disliked more on election day than Clinton.
I ordered a container of drain cleaner flakes. It was poorly packaged and popped open in transit. When i opened it I was greeted by a cloud of powder that made me cough. It is nasty stuff.
I complained to Amazon, the vendor and the CPSC and never heard back.
I hope they put some effort into evaluating packaging of hazardous chemicals.
Reagan was seen as great because as a skilled actor he was good at manipulating the public's perceptions. I doubt that Trump can do that. His appeal relates to much more basic emotions and perhaps that people are just tired of being jerked around by the ruling class and don't see him as part of that.
Just to be clear, I'm no fan of Trump and not particularly fond of Reagan.
What is the history? Was there a problem that specifically related to Blackberry providing the back door or does this refer to the general demise of Blackberry?
Is its following, community and wide range of available software.
Really good point. To draw an Arduino analogy, there are other platforms that offer better bang for the buck (e.g. various STM Discovery boards, some of the Cypress boards) But the community and resulting accessibility make the Arduino much more popular.
I'm trying to recollect if it was Yourdon's or DeMarco's methods I learned so many years ago while working at Inland Steel. The analysis based on DFDs has been a powerful tool I found useful all these years. Conservation of data - a powerful idea.;)
Someone has "high tech" cut the fibre! Where will my pr0n go?
Best to start laying in a good supply ahead of time.
And why wait for the Super Bowl to do this?
And why is this a "threat"?
Think about it. Interfering with Superbowl commercials will be devastating to the US economy. If the game itself cannot be seen, there will be parties all over the world where there is nothing to celebrate.
And I guarantee you that at least one team will lose that day.
These effects will cascade and the fabric of the universe could be rent.
I also click on the lastpass icon to login... not sure how anyone could fake the login modal coming out of the extension like that. I'm guessing this doesn't apply to me because I'd hit cancel and go to my normal method.
How hard would it be for an attacker to disable LastPass and replace it with a pixel perfect look alike?
I suppose the way to defeat that would be to always type the wrong password on the first try and if the password manager appears to accept it, stop trying! Unless the fake password manager is able to use the entered password to try to unlock the database in which case I cannot see a way to detect a fake LastPass.
Robots using powerful beam weapons that can't hit the broad side of a barn.
I suppose this follows from good guy bullets vs. bad guy bullets. In too many movies (perhaps all that involve gunfights) the good guy runs through a hail of bullets. They either do not get hit or if hit, the bullet does little or no real damage. When the good guy returns fire, three bad guys fall (and remain down) for every shot fired. You don't want to be using bad guy bullets for your defense.
A similar situation seems to happen to the orcs in the LOTR series. Wave a weapon at them and they're down for good.
First off, you need to protect your electronics from perspiration. Both my wife and I have destroyed MP3 players and I have destroyed a cell phone due to perspiration. I put mine in ziploc bags or use those plastic bubbles used for shipping things.
Best option for marathons is one of the dedicated GPS watches. I have a Garmin Forerunner 405 and it was capable of lasting through a marathon (5+ hours for me.) At present I use a running app on my Nexus 5x and use it with a Moto 360. The advantage of that is: - choice of running/activity apps. - watch eliminates need to pull phone out to start/stop/pause - watch has configurable screens for whatever stats I want to see.
Downside -
- Moto 360 battery won't last through a marathon. (Maybe with the right app...)
- Requires the phone - but a newer Moto watch has a built in GPS. Might still need the phone for the HRM though.
At the end of the race when I'm hot and sweaty it can be really difficult to stop the run on either watch or phone. Touch screens don't react well to sweat tracks.
It can happen more easily than you think. Google "download chrome" and see what you get. The 4th choice was some scum-bag site which may actually provide eFast.
... only if you are running an outdated firmware (like Kit kat).... update to Jelly Bean on this device...
You apparently did not know that Android versions are named in alphabetical order. Jelly Bean (4.1) predates Kitkat (4.4) You cannot "upgrade" to Jelly Bean from Kitkat.
Apologies if your post was sarcasm. I interpreted it as ignorance.
Personal preference, I guess. I really like being able to set my phone in a dock and it charges. And I do not need a proprietary dock. Same for automotive use. I just stick it to the dock and it's charging.
Yes, one more piece to have but for me so much more convenient. I guess it's a matter of personal choice.
My current phone is a Nexus 5 that developed a cracked screen over the weekend. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Nexus 5x but I'm having second thoughts. Maybe a Nexus 6 which does support wireless charging.

It could be more.

Mr Dragon,
I forgot the /sarcasm at the end of my post.

Not any more. ;)
No. It's because he's going to do something better. That's how he is going to succeed where his competition has not.
Did you misspell Libya on purpose or are you just not capable?
What is the history? Was there a problem that specifically related to Blackberry providing the back door or does this refer to the general demise of Blackberry?
That depends on how easy it is to install the standard distros on this board.
Then there's the GPIO and SDIO support. Is that going to require custom drivers or will it be included in the standard kernel? What about eMMC?
