There are millions of parents of autistic children who are smart enough to understand that there is no connection between vaccines and autism. The fact that he has an autistic child doesn't help provide understanding. He's an idiot plain and simple.
Why does it matter? Nothing was ever accomplished by climbing Mt. Everest, yet few people questioned the worthiness of Hillary's expedition. Why hack the Wii U? Because it's there.
Now now, you've got to remember this is Belize, not the states, if somebody high up enough says your guilty, the facts don't matter.
Actually, it's that way in the states too. Whether it's Guantanamo bay, drone strikes, or a marine corps brig, innocent until proven guilty went out the window a long time ago. Other concepts, such as proportional justice are similarly missing from the modern United States.
If you actually lived in the US you might notice that 90% of Americans could give a shit less.
Those 90% stay quiet and let the small vocal minority have their way. That's not actually any better than having a fundamentalist majority. The only thing required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
You miss the fact that the vast majority of the population does not use computers to empower creative work. They use it to facebook and watch cat videos. They can do that just fine on a tablet or phone, perhaps even better. Those people really will be displaced from general purpose computers, and general purpose computers will become a niche item.
Exactly. If the ability to play games requires you to use a certain desktop, or switch off features of your OS, something is terribly wrong. I haven't done anything like that since I used to kill explorer.exe to free enough RAM for Half-Life, nearly 15 years ago.
Fortunately, compositing provides no useful features whatsoever and so nothing of value is lost by using a window manager that simply does not support it.
$40/month? The FP2141sb is specced to run at 120W. If I run it 24/7, that's 87.6KWh. At $0.15/KWh, that's $13 per month. In reality, I run it 4-6 hours per day so I'm out less than $5 per month. $40/year is a much better estimate than $40/month. And it's well worth that.
What LCD would you recommend that can display more than 1536 lines of horizontal resolution with 120 DPI or better? The only one I'm aware of is the IBM 221, which is at least as old as my CRT and will put me out at least $700.
I assure you, my NEC FP2141SB is incredibly crisp at 2048x1536. I can read scans of magazines, two whole pages side by side, with no problem whatsoever.
If I can load my own OS without entering a key, so can malware. Doesn't this defeat the entire justification for secure boot? Doesn't this prove that secure boot is not about security at all?
It cannot. If the shop booted to clean media and used 'dd' to zero the drive the spyware would be gone. Period. The fact that it "somehow" survived indicates that the shop did not do their job.
If we live in a place so tyrranical that encryption itself is outlawed, transferring HD video is going to be the least of our concerns. You only need text to communicate strategy and battle plans for the resistance.
As opposed to letting the American Taliban in the form of Romney (he played the extremist, he can suck it up and accept the label) and Ryan and all the "legitimate rape" morons (open or closeted) get into power and run roughshod over sensible people?
Any of those things would be preferable to continuing the illusion of democracy when we have none. We survived GWB and we would have survived Romney as well. There is much, much more to gain by breaking the one party system we have today than there is to lose.

There's no reason why it shouldn't, barring accidents
Zinc and/or tin whiskers. Leaky electrolytic capacitors. Lead-free solder.
So?
Or vagina?
Can you run Debian on it? Does it have GPIO?

Is there a homebrew channel on the Wii U yet?

So it will be like eating a Hershey's bar?
Why is your DE so slow that it needs to be faster? I can switch between windows, and desktops full of windows, faster than my eyes can react.
Sounds like another great reason not to use Ubuntu.

That's what swapping is for.

They still put CSS on DVDs. That doesn't mean it does anything to protect anything.
Consumer mobile equipment is starting to see ludicrous DPI even in middle of the road devices
Doesn't do anyone any good when you can't do real work on a phone. I'm still running a 2048x1536 CRT at home, and will be for the forseeable future.
I like the sound of that.
