At my previous employer, it was standard practice to use shred whenever we decommissioned our Linux servers. We didn't see what was running on them first, or if it was worth shredding, you just did it. What a ridiculous argument.
Next up, anyone who has a paper shredder at home is up to no good! What are all you people hiding!
It used to be you could wade through the filth and stupidity on Slashdot and find some great humor, interesting insights and enlightening information....now its like looking for a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is a boiling broth of crazy and there is no way you aren't worse off for having looked for the needle in the first place...Sigh...
KDE is still my preferred Linux desktop. It does what I need and I find its features make my workflow more efficient. I still find valid users for lighter weight desktops, but day to day its KDE for me.
It's just an expression.:) Re-reading what I posted, I can see how it can misconstrued though. Even though we are discussing the 'Chinese' as a nation where the legal dispute took place, some subconsciously read the 'Chinese' as all people who share a genetic link with the region. So to clarify, I distinctly mean the nation. It does have me thinking though, if I replaced Chinese with American, would it be misconstrued in the same way? I'm guessing not. Funny how that works.
Also, I may be back to welcoming our new overlords again. I hear they are some mighty fine island builders. (and by 'they' I again mean the nation...don't want you to confused my 'tone' again)
I agree. I had the same thought the other day thinking about Netflix and how I like their original programming. What if they became the only game in town? Would they continue to be good after they had a controlling market share?
Our only healthy choice is to make sure there are many players and many choices.
(except if we have an 'overlord', then of course I was always with them....:P)
I wish I had mod points today. Well said. The parent thread may claim to not be a Trump supporter, but he wears his bias on his sleeve. Insightful? Sad....
The guy should be thankful to be alive given his actions. I suspect his lawsuit will end in stricter penalties being imposed on any future visitors to the area. Turn it into a full blow felony for even loitering in the area.
That said, doesn't this show a major security weakness at the plant? How far are these holding ponds from the reactors? Scary.
I hadn't read anything on this in the local press or seen anything on the news. I guess its time for me to do some reading! It wouldn't surprise me though since its big fine illegal to own an old out dated slot machine in my state. Just imagine if one of those one armed bandits were to get in the hands of the wrong people! (or scientists and engineers)
Yeah, seems to me incognito mode should do this as its shutting down a tab 'to remove all traces'. That said, apps should probably zero out before they start as well since they are the ones that look unkempt when they display legacy data.
Some IBM mainframes had 'memory upgrades' that could be turned on after initial purchase.
From a zSeries manual "Memory upgrades are satisfied from already-installed unused memory capacity until exhausted. When no more unused memory is available from the installed memory cards, either the cards must be upgraded to a higher capacity or the additional of a processor drawer with additional memory is necessary."

I for one DON'T welcome our new Chinese overlords...color me surprised as well....I normally welcome our new overlords, wherever they come from....

This isn't surprising since we don't have true capitalism now. If they are being told the current system is capitalism, its no wonder they reject it.
I for one welcome our new cable overlords.
Another great post modded down. Thanks for giving me a good chuckle! Wish I could bump it up so it could be enjoyed by more. :)
Well said. I wish I could mod you up right now.

I for one welcome our new clean energy overlords...

I wouldn't waste the time or bandwidth on his new album without just compensation.
So you get negatively modded two points for saying the F word regardless of context from the get go? This makes me a sad panda.
We should totally error on the side of fuck the children.
Hopefully you aren't having children so you don't have skin in the game. Or better yet, so we don't make Idiocracy a futurist documentary....
Damn tree huggin communist hippies! Make love and war! :)
I for one will welcome our future Dyson Sphere building overlords.

To expensive. Would be very cool if they were more realistically priced. I guess if I had money to burn...

Idiocracy the reality.
