Haven't we already gone through this with fortune-off, hot-babe and whatever-else? Just create a separate debian offensive repository and move everything that offends people in there. Eventually, it'll be the only repository with any packages and we can rename it to main or something.
Being airgapped isn't the problem. They should look into watergapping. I bet that's how those pesky viruses got on the ship. (water == conductor. It's elementary!)
Thou assumeth too much. I am neither fat, nor inactive. I am able to keep cholesterol at manageable levels by daily swimming and my wife's healthy cooking. (i make sure i don't eat more calories than i expend) However, this has turned swimming/cycling into a chore and most meals into a joyless necessity. If I could have the pleasure of juicy meats without the calories, I'd pay premium for it.
On the 1 hand, I love meat. On the other, I am aware of my cholesterol levels and other health issues. You come up with a good enough meat alternative (dripping juices, crispy edges, suitable for BBQ) and I'll tell you to "shut up and take my money".
Only temporarily. Remember that chromebooks only get 5 years of support. Then you're supposed to throw them in the ocean and buy a new one. On top of that, only a subgroup gets android app support, of which only a subgroup gets linux container support. The fragmentation is as bad as on android. F*ck em. I have chromebooks at home and i love them, but my 5 years of support are almost over. The hardware is capable but planned to be obsolete. I'll give Neverware Cloudready a go when that happens but ive tried it elsewhere and there are some bits missing + it's not meant for chromebooks.
Company my friend worked for had a similar problem with cheating a standards body. In the end, company was fined and no single person/team was found guilty. Lower level employees were shifting blame one level up, upper level said it wasn't even a decision just a team issued directive to reach a milestone, programmers said it started as a test that never went away, CEO claimed he was under too much pressure from shareholders (to be able to stop it once he learned about it).
Unless you are willing to fine shareholders who only care about quarterly results, this will keep happening. Everybody will say they were trying to protect their job.
And how would that employee then charge their laptop? Or connect a screen or charge their phone or connect to a wired network? It's a harsh life for fruit aficionados. #lovemahdongle
I don't see how amazon can compete with their: "You've just bought a chainsaw. Looks like you're interested in chainsaws. Here are some chainsaws that I'm going to keep suggesting for the next 2 years. And just to rub it in, I'll also suggest the same chainsaw you just bought but for less."
99.9999999999% of population leaves less than a finger of a person in the other group. It makes you sound like my wife when she compares who does how much around the house.
just format floppy disks to weird sizes like 1.722MB so they would fit tomsrtbt that you would never use afterwards. and remember to set up the scsi emulation on your ata CD-Rom drive so you can burn your 650MB CDs at slowest speed possible to ensure they were readable by that discman in your pocket (and remember, only TEAC and Toshiba drives are worth buying).
while they may be easy to root, there's almost no interest in them (on forum.xda-developers.com) and thus ZERO 3rd party rom support. it's sad because they're nicely priced and some of the hardware is really interesting.
You are mostly right but there are still some ways to make money out of FOSS. From experience: nobody's gonna pay for software support if it's a one-man-show. When I want paid support, I want it available 24/7 with short response times.
The advantage of a one-man-show company is flexibility. Existing users may be willing to pay to implement a feature they want in your software. So I'd run a sponsor-a-feature programme. Perhaps patreon.com?
Other than that, the only way forward I see is to grow and start with paid premium plugins.

what? 8 million? how many kidneys have you got?
Why the need to decrypt? If it can be played, it can be screencaptured, reencoded and shared. Load of bollocks the whole drm thing is.
No, that's Austria. Doh!

Easy. He'll show them the backups.
As the great Sean Connery once said when a book fell on his head: "I have only my shelf to blame."

Most people in USA can't even speak English properly. Good luck teaching them Chinese.

It's boolean. Doh!

I bet they had to make the bluetooth version because of their employees with macbooks.

where are my modpoints??? i can't believe somebody upvoted this crap article.

Also, in UK, Facebook could be charged with possession of child pornography and the teen uploading the photo with distribution
Cshell? That'll make it easy to google for. For those not willing to click the link, cshell stands for Compostable Shell.

words of Nelson Muntz come to mind...
Dude, that was a painfully long read but I thank you for it.
