So they give everywhere 3x3 meter square a random three words name to make it easier to tell some one the exact place you are refering to beacause it may or may not have postal code, have they not heard of gps coordinates it?
or you could get a heavy fireproof gun safe and make sure the kids aren't in the room when you unlock it (so they cant see the code.) and put locks on the guns themselves with the keys kept separately from the weapon, I keep mine key on a chain around my neck.
it won't be forked until the moment oracle give the community a giant F*** you, untill them people will be content with it. look at libre office peopple stuck with it until it was unbarable and the forked it. oracle seems to like virtualbox and continues to develop it (unlike openoffice.org) and maintains a open-source licensed compatible version..
Actually, Obama got the peace prize for being "not George W. Bush." That's a minor, but important distinction.
Which was a stupid reason to give obama a prize, I am not gw either i will take a 1 million now you can keep the ribbon and medal. "but you haven't done anything" well neither did he and in retrospect doing nothing is better than what he has now done.
What, and releases classified information to foreign entities? Regardless of whether you think what Snowden did (and continues to do) is good or bad, he is a traitor to the country.
Really...? He told the populace that their government was corrupt and spying on them and violating their constitutional and human rights and you call him a traitor what kind of bizzaro world do you live on where he is the traitor. Or did you major in newspeak or something? Its the federal government that is the traitor to the public, their constituency.
Or did it? Compare Bush vs. Obama on raw body count, and it is nowhwere close. Like, a factor of 100.
No shit shurlock. There are more deaths at at the beginning of the war than after you have taken over the country and destroyed the opposing government and their military. It is a apples to oranges comparison.
I have wondered that myself, I know it requires a signed kernel and you can not turn off secure boot, but many distros are having Microsoft sign their kernels and bootloaders, ubuntu has paid the ms signing fee as I understand, so would it be possible to boot ubuntu on rt?
Outside of a minority of technically minded folks, most people never wanted local storage in the first place. They don't want to understand it, manage it, back it up, or deal with it in any way. That simple fact is one of the key drivers toward cloud computing, web apps, and away from the local-storage model of computing.
If that is so then why do 2 terabyte harddrives sell like hotcakes?
People's data is generally safer in the cloud than locally. Yes, yes, we all know that those service can go away. But the fact is that even so, it's still safer than Joe Schmoe trying to keep his data safe locally.
Most users use the same minimum length easily guessable password for all of their online accounts, There is no way you can call that safer.
So the market is pushing heavily in this direction, driven by the demand of the consumer masses. It's a slow transition over time, but eventually, that's going to be where the economies of scale are. Sure, workstation-type computers will still be available for the few people doing CAD, etc, but they will be far more expensive and not generally purchased by most of the general public. This is already starting to happen, and it's only going to accelerate.
And how pray tell are they going to get there data to the cloud? I know many nontechnical people with hardrives filled to the brim with assorted movies, music, pictures, documents and more throwing a few gigs in the cloud is easy moving terrabytes of high def home vaccation video, is going to take forever assuming you isp doesn't cut you off for using up you data allotment. I have friends that like to remix music there is no way in hell cloud music vender's like Pandora or spotify are going to let you touch their music library and let you make you own remix how is he to get the music if he depends only on the cloud to provide? the cloud suffers many problems from licensing, to cost, to security, to privacy, to bandwidth/data allotments, and more. the only real problem it fixs for the average joe is remote access.
The home pc is going to become a hybrid of pc/workstation/home server. it is not going anywhere. It is just not going to be replaced as often as it was before.
I know very few people who really want a PC any more. They virtually all prefer tablets, smartphones, and so on.
The government knows that it regularly obtains Americans’ protected communications. The Washington Post reported that Prism is designed to produce at least 51 percent confidence in a target’s “foreignness” — as John Oliver of “The Daily Show” put it, “a coin flip plus 1 percent.” By turning a blind eye to the fact that 49-plus percent of the communications might be purely among Americans, the N.S.A. has intentionally acquired information it is not allowed to have, even under the terrifyingly broad auspices of the FISA Amendments Act.
"Tap them", indeed, and then some. This latest round of revelations by the whistlblower Snowden details how Microsofts cloud service SkyDrive pipes directly into Prism. Skydrive has a nasty little feature, turned on by default (and turned on again on any upgrade if you decided to turn it off) that allows remote access to all the contents of all hard drives connected to your computer. Yes, thats right, everything *outside* your Skydrive folder. If your a non US citizen then your hard drive is now potentially imaged by prism, if your a US citizen living in the US you have a coin toss +1% chance of the same. Even if it is turned off how can you know they cant remotely image your computer - you cant, because Microsoft (and google, and yahoo...) just a few weeks ago all assured us they only reluctantly respond to court orders. Snowden has blown the whistle on them there lies, at least in Micrisifts case. Interesting to see if Google did backflips like MS has to give all the three letter agencies direct access to our private data.
i have a skydrive account provided by my school i am at a loss though as to how microsoft would image my hd it being linux and skydrive only being aceesed via web page on vm
I used to imagine us leaving an SSD with all human info for future people to discover. Then it occurred to me that they might not have the means to see what's in the drives in the first place. Well, back to carving on stone.
create a rosseta stone of the technical specs, and how to build a reader put it on tungsten plates.
in linux i just use ssh, sshfs and sftp, i know window as ssh and sftp programs but does it have sshfs to mount remote file systems? if so maybe you could use that.
yeah like being able to do a diff and check time stamps, maybe setup a cron job to do it automaticly wait that has been done form a shell by sysadmins for years
Something like a vault with safety deposit like a bank has in which you can store servers only each box contains a power port attached to a acp battery bank with ventilation ports for air exchange and liquid cooling and ethernet cable.
So I guess now all those people who said that Apple bundling their browser with their OS is okay (because, unlike MS, they've not been found guilty of abusing their monopoly) are now going to reverse their stance and admit that Apple is evil too, huh?
No because apple is not in a monopoly position. Microsoft was convicted not just because they bundled a browser but because in doing so they tried to use their monopoly in the desktop to try and gain a monopoly in another market. this is what is called abuse of monopoly.
apple is evil but it is not evil for the same reasons as microsoft.

missed the last line in my reply, so i will fix it here,
I know very few people who really want a PC any more. They virtually all prefer tablets, smartphones, and so on.
no they just have a different use case for the tablet and the has slightly changed the pc's use case

Ken Thompson compiler hack?
as for the food being infected you could irradiate the food killing all of the contagions
It's cool. HIV has been around long enough that that patents on it have all expired.
yeah but its genome would still be covered by copyright

When can we boot from dropbox?
so instead of boot from lan it will be boot from wlan? sound, obtuse?

open carry is not consider hazardous in fact in my state there are law the specify that open carry is legal.
