Just being deprecated doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad idea. I still prefer IMAPS/POP3S/SMTPS over this silly STARTTLS nonsense. For one it can't be hijacked as easily as these ISPs are doing.
Stories only visible to subscribers have the red background. All stories are initially only visible to subscribers before being made available to everyone, but there's some delay between the story being made available to everyone and the colour being changed to the standard green.
Anything pointing out that the only substantial act of cyberwar was perpetrated by US/Israel supports terrorists, I guess. Can't let people actually have a discussion about it, have to bury it in a crapflood. Yeah, it's odd that this particular story has attracted such a storm of MyCleanPC and Bennet copypasta. What are the odds that it's actually a coincidence?
I dunno, David Jones has scheduled the launch of their Christmas sales for 11/11 this year. Go to any of their bigger stores tomorrow after 5PM for free champagne and snacks while you celebrate consumerism. No-one's protesting.
Newer Airbuses limit rudder range at speed. The A300 could lose its tail if the pilot did something stupid, as happened with American Airlines 587. People seem to be happy enough to deal with the interlock.
Dell only packs the bloatware onto consumer machines. My Dell Precision T3610 had absolutely no bloatware (but the OS install was a bit weird so I reinstalled anyway), and neither did my PowerEdge R420 (no OS at all).
When H1N1 was spreading around Melbourne, people wouldn't go to the doctor if they thought they had caught it, because if you did and they diagnosed you with it you were legally required to take time off work and isolate yourself. People just didn't want the inconvenience, and taking your chances with swine flu didn't usually kill you. Ebola's a bit more risky to play with.
Seriously, what do you do with your machine? I need to run Photoshop and Lightroom for graphics, Apache, text editors and a collection of browsers for web development, Quartus II for FPGA development... None of this would work on ChromeOS. Do you even use your computer at all?
I had H1N1 swine flu and my coworker's girlfriend had it. It was pretty widespread in Melbourne. But all it seemed to really do was make people feel like shit for a week. People weren't even taking time off work for it. Yeah, not taking time off work is likely to spread it, but it didn't seem to take out entire offices. It may or may not have been overblown, but it definitely didn't kill anyone I knew.
GSM push-to-talk is an abbreviated call establishment sequence with preconfigured recipients. It still runs everything via the base station and hence via the carrier's network, so you'd be paying. If the network didn't advertise the feature as being available it would disable it, even if you bought an unlocked phone directly from Nokia.
"The FOSS community" is tiny. The vast majority of the time Linux is selected for practical or pragmatice reasons. Most people using Linux aren't using it for ideological reasons. There aren't enough people prepared to boycott NVIDIA over this to make a difference. Also, it's firmware that needs to be signed, not drivers.
Means that she probably did take some nudies at some point.
So? I've taken nudies of myself and others. It's a natural result of technology combined with curiosity. Nudies are more prolific than ever since with digital cameras you aren't implicitly sharing your pictures with the minilab operator. Why do people make such a big deal of it?
Yeah, SVG renderers have more chance of being around in 50 years than WMF or PICT. But you still need to actively go through your data archives, find things in "endangered" formats, and migrate them to more future-proof formats. This requires substantial effort that increases as the collection grows. Then there's verifying that nothing was lost in the conversion to consider.
ImageMagick doesn't support PICT with vector information. I'm just trying to make a point that even if a format seems to be widespread now, it may become effectively useless in the future. Believe me PICT files were everywhere in the classic Mac days.
You're picking easy formats. What about Macintosh PICT, including vector information (not just a bitmap PICT)? What about WMF? I could see both those formats becoming effectively unusable within a decade, as they effectively depend on the drawing API/environment of ancient operating systems (classic MacOS and Windows 3).

Maybe he's suggesting to just use plain SSL without the initial plaintext exchange and initiation.

The black swans native to Australia have a much more pleasant temperament than white swans. But yeah, I know you're trying to make a joke.
CPU load. SSL/TLS greatly increases CPU demands on the server(s). For a high-traffic site that costs real money.
Yeah, I've been there. Worth it for the bushwalking and rock climbing as well as the observatory.
AKG isn't even that great. For pro work these days people are moving to Audio-Technica and Shure.

I thought of the ATA Flash PCMCIA card variant.

My LSI SAS controller card has an 800MHz PowerPC processor. Lots of car ECUs use PowerPC. It's anything but dead.

You conflicted with their ideology and got a "-1 makes me uncomfortable" mod.
Care to substantiate that? I can make the opposite assertion just as easily.

Samsung's packaging for the Galaxy S3 is very slick. Also, Dell's origami packaging for their 4k displays is absolutely brilliant.
