  1. Re:Landline call trace on After Bomb Threats, FCC Proposes Letting Police Unveil Anonymous Callers (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not for a call from a landline, it's for a call to a landline. Also you are flatout wrong about the caller id information. It is not needed.

    If you are of particular government interest they could set up a surreptitious wifi hotspot for you.

  6. They must have gotten some dud acer e15 for such a short battery life. I've currently been browsing the web over wifi on one for about 3 hours (no videos) and the battery indicator says 10 hours left. There isn't that much but that's a lot better than the 3 hours total they got.

    It's nice you have a paper like that. We sure don't in this 20000 person suburb of Philadelphia. I imagine they're pretty rare. Maybe not in small towns.

  20. Suse origins on Windows 10 Gets A New Linux: openSUSE (fossbytes.com) · · Score: 2

    The article says "Well, SUSE knows what they are doing because they have been in the Linux business since 1992. Try to find a Linux “vendor” (or in that sense, distributor) which is older. You won’t. There aren’t any." This is deceptive. SLS was the first linux distribution in 1992. Slackware was developed from that and released in 1993. The first SUSE distribution was a German translation of Slackware. Stating the obvious, Slackware is still around and is older. Then in 1996 Suse made their own distribution based on Jurix.

  21. Microsoft likes to name things that are impossible to search for because they are common words.
