I've taken out a subscription to Private Eye http://www.private-eye.co.uk/. I find it funny and insightful and get much more depth of what's going on than I get out of the internet. In additional it feels good to be able to just flick through dead trees and spot something interesting. At £28/year it's not noticably expensive either.
How is getting more closed source software developed for Linux a step backwards? Does it prevent open source software from being developed? Does it remove OSS from repos? Does it prevent you from developing OSS?
VMWare Player and VirtualBox are probably equally good for what you want.
The only real advantage of one over the other that I've found is that the free VMWare Player seems to pause traffic on the network connection every IIRC 2 minutes for about 5s. Not a huge problem but was something I noticed when trying to stress test some code. BTW, I was running Linux Mint as the client and Windows 7 as the host if that might have been the reason. When I tried on VirtualBox everything just worked without any trouble.
I'm sure he's aware that a cell tower near the DMZ could reach into North Korea. However, the only village near the DMZ is a propoganda village: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kij%C5%8Fng-dong where nobody lives.
Also, anything that transmits can be detected and located. You do know what transmit means don't you?
Yes you can create mesh networks in Africa because in Africa you can transmit without being hunted down and placed in a forced labour camp along with your parents, grand parents and any children you may have.

This gives you the benefit of Debian rolling releases and I found that my wifi worked out of the box just as it does on Ubuntu based distros. XFCE uses GTK 2, and should eventually move to GTK 3 when that API stabilises. This seems to be the best option for me for now, although I'm keeping an eye on Cinnamon.
Does anyone have a link to this report? It would be interesting to see the rankings for the UK and also their methodology.
I'd like to know how they define broadband. Is it >2Mbit/s or >10Mbit/s? What data limits are they comparing? When they compare pricing does that include phone lines if they are a mandatory pre-requisite to broadband access?
It doesn't detect that telivision is an incorrect spelling because there are so many authoritative examples of that spelling: http://www.wordnik.com/words/telivision
Google seems to do a good job of detecting spelling errors and automatically updating it's dictionary and of course it also shows you websites where that word is used. I don't really see what Wordnik provides.

theregister.co.uk seems to be down but the same group has cracked ups.com and the source shows that they used a Microsoft product.
This could be modelled in a similar way to the BBC where every 10 years it's charter has to go for review by politicians so that its plan for the next 10 years can be accepted. This could then include the funding that would be required for NASA to operate and then the politicians would have to keep their hands off it.
I'm 27, and grew up with a BBC Model B, moving on to Windows 3.11. GP description also pegged me accurately.
As for being creative with computers today; get them designing websites and facebook apps. These may seem basic; and they will be at first but this allows them to be easily shown off to peers which thinking back was probably an important factor that kept me coding when I was younger. Then they can build on these and gain more experience; get to learn PHP and databases.
PHP is the new BASIC. This should be the modern introduction to computing.
Move on to what? And, how do we know this 'hacker' hasn't generated these 1.5 million accounts to sell, rather than going through the trouble of hacking?
Agreed. I also like the memes that go with the funny posts. These give some sort of shared understanding and culture to/. Maybe this exists elsewhere, but I haven't seen it.
I think the Idle section has reduced the quality somewhat; if I wanted to watch a cat doing a back flip I'd go to a different website. There is also the ongoing legal cases and politics that seem to be making up an ever greater proportion of the stories.
Yes, I know I can block these, but even then; it attracts people to submit these stories as Idle, Political and Legal are becoming as important to the site as tech stories.

I like to think the editors at /. would understand that the $ hasn't just rocketed in value.
Also, this was copied verbatim from the Fox News website. Over-valuing of the $ might be normal there but lets keep it off tech sites.

100 Minutes, 100 Texts and 400MB of data per month for free: http://ovivomobile.com/12/our-offer/the-ovivo-smartphone-tariff/
It costs £10 to get your sim card from them but you get £10 worth of credit for any calls or data you use beyond the free ones.

Have you got any links or books on this? There's a lot in this post that I wasn't aware of and I'd like to read more about it.
I'm just trying to work out where the IT / news for nerds connection is here?

Have you got any sources to back this up? It doesn't have to be particularly authoritive as NK is so restrictive this would be hard to get.
Human Rights Watch reported in 2007 it was getting harsher: http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/publisher,HRW,,PRK,45fff1b92,0.html
It may well have improved; I'd just like to read about it.
WTF, did you read his reply?

Is there any reason why this passwords weren't salted?

There you are, Microsoft aid crackers.
I like this.

I first used these in the UK in Safeway back in the late 90s. Now that they've been takenover by Morrisons I don't think they have them anymore.
Waitrose still have them though. You just swipe your credit card and it tells you which handset to pick up, and then you do your shopping. Article from 1997: http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/articles.aspx?page=articles&ID=33232
Is this really a new thing in the US?
The BBC brought in a fashion designer as the expert on the Fukushima nuclear power plant and its affect on the nuclear industry.
You're giving iPhone users enough credit to have brains.
Anyone with a brain wouldn't be using an adjustable flash on a crappy low f-stop lens like that, nor such a low resolution.
What's so bad about having a low f-stop lens? I like them for providing a narrow depth of field and to be able to shoot in low light conditions.

Why does it have to be someone else who starts something. Why don't you go ahead and do it?
