At present growth rates, it looks more like ~400 years before we boil off the oceans. The planet's surface area is fixed and can only dissipate so much heat. On the slightly bigger scale we have a little more than 2400 years before we consume all the energy generated by the entire galaxy
See the pattern? Selling a locked down machine will become much easier with just a little FUD. However a user should have the option of whitelisting, works on spam also.
at this point quitting Slashdot is beginning to look like the winning strategy.
Oh! Please do! You've been making that promise for quite some time.
Now give me that boilerplate response to show everybody what you're made of (-1 Troll)

Thank you! and moderators too.. This is what I get for triggering the crybabies (browse his comment history). You see this puerility all the time from democrats and of course people like Trump are going to win.. *So unfair* [/sarc]
Windows, of course, will throw a blue fit if you try this
Not always true. Though Linux is much better at it. With windows I just had to wait for it to install its drivers, and the ones it didn't have came from the motherboard CD(!), but sometimes I had to copy that to a USB stick.
The Mac? (wanna make backups? Be sure to get the right dongle) Well, now it's a sealed unit. It was only a matter of time for that to happen. Doesn't seem to hurt sales too much. Same thing is happening with new cars also. How many people are installing Holleys and Hookers anymore? Open the hood. Can you even see the engine?
Seamomkey is a Mozilla product (well not exactly, but close enough). Most Firefox extensions work there also. That includes ublock.
I don't understand why browsers and email clients became bundled together. That doesn't make any sense to me.
Tradition (from when we didn't have lots of RAM...and it beats the hell out of using the gmail/hotmail webpage)... and netscape/seamonkey has been faithful for 20 years, along with the interface, tried and true, and comfortable. Updates bring no unpleasant surprises.
If you want to save your SSD, turn off caching. That stuff is a carry over from the old 56k days when it made pages loader faster. It's not needed anymore. Neither is the 'prediction' crud or the 'load tabs in the background' option. Turn them all off. They are places where malware can hide.
There's no reason to use Firefox anymore. What advantage does it possibly have?
Seamonkey is hardly any fatter and has an email client and web page composer, and a few other goodies (its page source viewer can't be beat), and I use Chrome to read pdf's and play flash vids to avoid Adobe's even worse bloat.
Lets hope that fully encrypted part is deep at the OS level on both ends:)
Heh, yeah, well, we are talking about facebook here. We all know better than to believe they'll put up much resistance against a subpoena, or even a 'request'.

Lock him up!

next thing you know I'll be suggesting that the trolls should be less visible.
I used to think a better financial model would help.
I repeat, again! The one we have is good enough:
Subscribers have the option to restrict posting access on their journals based on their Friends & Foes list.
You have that and more, without having to subscribe. Instead of whining, use your options!

Soon laptop shredders will be as common as the paper shredder.

I would still prefer to help fund features to make them less visible on Slashdot.
Subscribers have the option to restrict posting access on their journals based on their Friends & Foes list.
If you were sincere about restricting what you see, you would use the options already available for free also.
For everybody else, please note his upcoming response and his comment page, and you will see who the real troll is.
:-) A? B? or all of the above?. Quite the spectacle, isn't he? Let's see if he responds to me in his usual perverse fashion here also.

Good to see you finally hit the wall in the other thread...
I don't mind being your soft target. I want them to see the real you
Well, at least somebody got ya good, you pee wee!
I suppose you feel the same about the KGB, comrade?
Like everything else, it's totally dependent on your point of view.

This could hardly make it easier. Expect automatic tagging every time someone, friend or not, posts your picture
Don't forget "democrat" and "republican". You can hardly find anything more offensive
:-) You know, common courtesy says the first shot should be off the bow, not a direct hit... Be sure to follow through to the end. It'll be swift..
Can't you come up for air?
He's an 'expat' for a reason. Who's he running from?
It readily admits that it is satire...
Which turns out to be more truthful than the "serious" sites...
Poke him with a stick, and he gets aroused. He's definitely creepy. He may have left for a 'reason', if you get my drift.
Watch out, or he'll *grab your gonads*!
