I did an apt-get dist-upgrade and did not brick the stupid thing.
Also, "brick" means that you can't recover it unless you use complicated procedures like unsoldering/soldering chips, flashing through JTAG etc. How is pulling out the SD card and reimaging it akin to "bricking"?
Wasn't lastpass recently the victim of at least a successful breakin and several phishing campaigns? Yes, I will definitely trust it with all my accounts.
If you've used a 3D printer it's basically a no-brainer to understand that you can retrace the printhead movement from the sounds the printer makes. Some people have even be making music on their printers. http://3dprint.com/29244/3d-pr...
I build lighter-than-air drones, aka remote-controlled blimps. In their operational state, they are negatively buoyant. Does that mean I'm off the list?
This was covered 1.5 years ago in this DrDobbs article: http://www.drdobbs.com/embedde... Been there, done that, the breadboarded ARM is a cool toy but not very practical.
There are many apps that do that. I have been using "Permissions Free" for a couple of years now. I guess the news is that Google released similar functionality as a built-in, then removed it. Sounds nasty.
Same here. Started buying from them around 1999-2000. In fact I bought a few hard drives from them just last week. I dunno where I'll be getting older technology HDDs at steal prices. I have a few devices that I'm maintaining that are incompatible with newer tech (4k sector) HDDs, which everyone makes these days... I need another source for older tech (512byte sector) HDDs.

I believe he is referring to you losing control over your computer. Some people like that, some don't.
I shelved any plans I had for getting an Oculus as soon as they were bought by Facebook. It's one of the companies that I don't trust.

Oh well. Article will go unread.
The operational word here is: weight. Which is a measure of the force that the object applies downwards.
I don't claim to be able to make negative mass, or else I'd be busy counting my billions of $$$ instead of posting here.

Unless the one who stole your card also stole your phone. Which can happen if you keep them close-by. Resulting in 2-factor failure.
News at 5, boy arrested for having a brain.
Sad but true.
My TI-81 boots in less than half a second. You press the button and Bam! it's already on.
Yes, the checkbox is still there. But it doesn't do anymore what it says it should do. For a while it did, but not anymore.
And the Slashdot mobile site is even worse, with non-dismissable pop-over boxes that take up to 25% of the screen.
Well for one thing by obfuscating system logs in a way that is likely (and expected) to fail.
I'm not sure that Nigeria needs more smartcards rather than less Boku Haram.
Precisely. You can't rate or comment on an app without a G+ account. Which is why I haven't commented or rated any apps for the past 2 years.
... to root for the advancement of civilization. Sounds like a noble and realistic goal.
Arrow Electronics kills you with shipping charges. Least expensive option is $15 for a small order.
However, it seems to me that after the acquisition he will not have the final decision in the matter.
Doesn't work when you're talking built-in, as in manufacturer-made ones that are part of the ROM. Or, in some cases, Google apps. :)

I agree, it's time we take thorium seriously. And if Bill Gates is the one who makes it happen, more power to him! (pun not intended)
Little high, little low...
