I don't know if the high speed trains are designed to be used for passengers, or for cargo. I can agree that interest in a high speed passenger train is pretty low, but it's a hell of a lot more environmentally friendly to ship goods by rail than by semi truck. If we can make transportation by rail faster, it would be more attractive for companies to ship by rail.
I agree completely. Also, it's pretty disturbing how many people here are treating this guy like a violent serial killer. Is sending spam email really all that bad? So just because you've been inconvenienced for the 5 seconds it takes to clear out your spam folder this guy is now public enemy number 1?
I don't see the connection between Arch Linux and FreeBSD at all. Especially since you brought up Gentoo and Debian. Gentoo's Portage system is directly based on FreeBSD's ports system. And both Gentoo and Debian offer a FreeBSD kernel that you can replace the Linux kernel with. Arch Linux is no more like FreeBSD than Ubuntu and Fedora are.
That sucks.
At least I can still bypass the college bookstore and only buy textbooks I need after going to the first or second class by getting them overnighted for $4. It's so much nicer than having to buy books weeks in advance and then finding out you don't even need it.
This and the fact that they sell other people's games and get a cut of it. They didn't spend a dime developing Civilization V but they get a cut of every sale it makes, which is probably a huge part of their revenue. Valve's own games do make a lot of money, but they have to spend money to make those.
I think the 2x Teslas is the only thing in those stats that are really necessary for cracking keys. You don't need any fancy networking, or tons of data storage and probably not that much RAM. If the cracking is all GPU accelerated, the need for two high end CPUs is questionable. With that said, Teslas are indeed pretty expensive.
How much time does this take to do on a home computer using the same GPU acceleration? I know that Amazon has tons of computing power, but you're not the only one using it. Why spend $1.68 to crack a key when I can do it for free in the same amount of time on the PC I already have.
Since Gentoo only provides Chromium, I haven't had built in support for h.264. I don't miss it.
99% of the videos I watch are on Youtube which is obviously owned by Google. If Chrome will only support WebM then so will >90% of the online video market (Youtube alone).
The article is really light on details, but what about these messages cause a phone to crash? Is the phone executing what is supposed to be textual data? Is this certain data just causing a buffer overflow somewhere? What is actually happening?
I was thinking the same thing. I looked at the article, and the fact that Vanity Fair's latest issue has Justin Bieber on the cover kind of leads me to believe that this article is pure BS. Maybe I'll be convinced when a source who's content isn't primarily pop culture and fashion says something about this.
I don't think a torrent makes much sense right now. They're releasing new cables every day, so the torrent files would go out of date really fast, and the peer swarm would be fragmented by this. Maybe a zip or a tarball might work? But that would take a lot of bandwidth since the package would be a couple of gigabytes. The advantage of using mirrors is that Wikileaks can use rsync to automatically update all the mirrors to have the latest information. And because of the way rsync works with incremental updates, it saves them some bandwidth.
If one of the mirrors decides to distribute the HTML files as a torrent or a zip package themselves, they can do that as well.
There is a direct correlation between education and wealth. Meaning the more education you have the more money you will make in your life. If only people who are wealthy to begin with are capable of going to law school or medical school, then they will get more education that someone who can't afford any education past high school. So it's a case of the rich get richer because they can afford education.
That said, I don't like how GP said "they're smarter than poor people." They're certainly more educated, but not necessarily smarter.
I believe Gtk and Qt have semi-working ports on Wayland. So any application that uses Gtk or Qt (which is a lot) would work on Wayland natively. Any old application that goes straight to X11 would require a bit more work, but Wayland can "embed" X11 into it kind of like how X11 works on OS X.
Or just tunnel through SSH whenever you're on an unsecured network. I was with some friends last week who were using Firesheep on each other (all in good fun), but I was tunneling all my traffic and nobody was able to get my cookies.
Why is there a big discussion about session hijacking now? Hasn't this sort of thing been around for years? Granted in the past an attacker would be using something like Wireshark and some other fancy networking tools to nab your cookie rather than a Firefox addon that even the lowliest of script kiddies can run.

When these things were designed in the 80s and 90s, I doubt many of the engineers expected hipsters with iPhones and laptops to be onboard.

Isn't Yellow Dog Linux still around for PPC machines? It's based off either Fedora or Red Hat.
Absolutely right. It's only illegal if you aren't paying AT&T/Facebook/etc for the user information you're taking.

This has been US foreign policy for years. Wikileaks isn't the cause of this.
You seem to forget that iPhone 1.0 didn't have an App Store. So I'm not so sure it was part of the original contract with Cingular.

Linus is close enough to that "head Linux guy". He doesn't tell people what to do, but he decides what gets in the kernel and what doesn't.

I have no problem accessing public wifi because I'll just set up an SSH tunnel anyway.

Are you kidding? I use Gnash.
What are you talking about? I've been using 64-bit browsers in Linux for years!
There isn't as much money in doing that than renting your botnet out to spammers and 13 year olds who want to DDoS a forum they got banned from.
