We would love to, but north american ISP's keep insisting that we have no right to decent upload speeds. For my ISP, the cheapest rate is 10/0.5 for $50/month. The most expensive is 250/15 for $195/month. The fastest upload speed available is barely faster than the cheapest download speed provided. There are NO plans with an upload speed anywhere near the download speed. There is nothing hinting that this is going to change any time in the near future.
It's more like if France had a law against giving people the finger and you stood in France and gave the finger to someone in Switzerland and then the person in Switzerland sued you with France's law even though there is no such law in Switzerland.
And asking about the best keyboard will get you more people claiming to have 10 Model M's in their closet just in case their main one dies than there were Model M's manufactured in the first place.
"Model M's are indestructible and last forever. In fact I have 10 spares just in case and no I will never sell any of them." I swear, they're worse than CAT people!
I remember reading an article about a proof of concept where a hacker was able to control parts of his car with a cleverly crafted MP3 burned to a CD. He hypothesized that such attacks could be distributed through P2P networks and install backdoors into cars allowing them to be unlocked/started without a key.
HA, I live in Canada and get unlimited talk/text/data (text is national, talk is local) for $29/month. Mind you I'm on Wind and the other carriers around here charge $80/month for unlimited evenings/weekends and 5GB/month, so YMMV. The only real disadvantage for Wind right now is coverage, but their area increases every month at a fairly decent rate.
That's why I didn't set up automatic billing. With my current monthly-prepaid (via credit card each month on their website), I only have about $0.75 of balance on my phone, so if I were to even TRY to make a long distance call or something, it would simply not work because I don't have enough balance on my account to pay for it.
Exactly. When I first signed with for my current provider I brought my own phone (a phone they didn't sell). I had a problem with it (it was connecting to the wrong towers) and what it basically came down to was that they would provide the network information and how it would be set in one of the phones they did sell and it was up to me to figure out where that setting was on my phone. They also wouldn't help me fix non-cell-connection issues (wifi, boot looping, etc) unless it was a phone I got from them.
I'm sorry but when an editor can break an application by simply not detecting the current tab settings, then that editor AND its designer deserve all the derision and scorn that could possibly be heaped upon it.
You're right. It really isn't stated whether the patent threat is about some technology they are developing (wireless protocols perhaps?) or off-the-shelf hardware they purchased. In the later case, a lawyer could probably just send a letter to the effect of "all wireless technology in use at this facility was purchased from linksys/dlink/etc, please contact them directly regarding licensing inquiries."
If Ford were infringing on a Toyota hubcap patent, Toyota would sue Ford, not all the people that bought F-250s. In fact, if Ford did try that, they would run their name into the ground faster than a Pinto driven backwards off a cliff.
I flash the lights, then turn the back ON, or did you not get that part? What part of my explanation was putting people at risk. I flash my lights, turn them back on and slow down to a safe speed. The flashing is in case some OTHER moron is going fast enough that they would have hit me if I was stopped. The particular corner I'm talking about is very narrow (*barely* 2 lanes) with absolutely no visibility with a steep hill on the side.
I'm actually curious if clicking a link to File:/// will crash one. Any mac users want to try it and (after possibly restarting their browser) report the results? Note: slashdot changes File to file, so you might have to try a local html file.
I flash my lights instead. This gives a VERY visible signal to anyone coming the other way and most people will clue in and return the signal. I also make sure that I take the corner slow enough that I can stop if someone does appear doing the speed limit. I still flash the lights in case the other guy is going faster than the speed limit.
If this bootloader is used for viruses then Microsoft will blacklist it and you won't be able to use it.
The next bootloader will then need to be more secure until we have no more boot sector viruses.
I don't think you actually understand the problem. How do you differentiate between a boot sector virus and a custom built Linux system booting off a signed grub loader? How do you differentiate between a legitimate LFS installation and a rooted LFS installation? How do you know the user doesn't WANT the rooted LFS installation, maybe they are doing very advanced hardware work and are using the equivalent of a rootkit to do it?

What other AV software is installed. It's not uncommon for people to install 2 or 3 of them and have no idea that they don't play nicely together.
I'm actually quite interested in this situation, do you have any links to these treaties (particularly the parts the conflict with strikes)?
The submitter could have done that just as easily and saved hundreds of people the effort.

Tor won't protect you from identity theft, that's what encryption is for. Tor without encryption just tells MORE people what you are doing.
Ah, the "GPL2-only" thing, I forgot about that.

You REALLY don't get this?!

FTFY
Great, you've just created a comment paradox. I hope you're happy!
In reality only Linux is truly open source with its slightly amended GPL2 License.
I don't remember ever reading anything about it being anything but a 100% GPL2 license. Do you have a reference to this?
correction: If Toyota tried that, my bad.

Just to clarify, I flash the high-beams, not the regular lights (those stay ON).

They already have these. It's just an IR LED connected to a usb or serial port and they're dirt cheap.
Funny, my remote control (same technology, slower data) works from tens of METERS away.

Now how many of those support(ed) secure-boot specifically?
