The Secure Boot issue seems to me to be way more critical than the updates. There are ways to mitigate the automatic updates but Secure Boot can brick your shiny, new computer.
Not being able to put another OS on your computer means you don't own it.
...mostly from people who've never bought any of Mr. Young's work. I suspect he cares as much about your opinions as you care about his music. Just let it go and move on to the next post.
"make a few people stop and think about the wisdom of that" It's so cute when people are optimistic. That sentiment didn't even survive the direct remarks. Members of the mob will always believe they carried out "justice" - regardless of how bright is the light of retrospect.
I don't think you can have a sole-purpose Constitutional Convention. Everything is on the table. Scary as hell - that's probably why there's never been one.
I don't think the Declaration of Independence is considered a founding document. More of an uncoupling document.
The problem isn't the Constitution - it's the asshats we keep sending to Congress.
Dockers (the pants) must be designed and made by women. Angry women. Maybe nuns. The zippers are way too short to be useful to anybody who owns a penis.
Start a meth lab. The meth market really took off after the bubble burst. Probably because of all the developers being dejected after being ejected. Take advantage of the suffering of your fellow human beings. It's the epitome of capitalism.
The US recently paid a scrapper 1 cent to cut up a retired aircraft carrier for scrap. Just imagine the resources you could pack onto an aircraft carrier. Fully staffed and outfitted hospital, housing, power generation, decon facilities, communications, transportation.
It doesn't even have to be self-powered - it could be towed to where it's needed.
What a waste.
The Internet has turned out to be an ugly, hostile den-of-thieves. It isn't going to get better because the thieves own it. Maybe we should abandon http and the World Wide Web and build something with inherent security and anonymity.
With the propulsion system ripped out or replaced with a simpler, cheaper system (giant outboard motor?), a carrier would be an awesome platform for responding to disaster. It could provide shelter, feeding facilities, power generation, emergency hospital facilities with isolation usits, transportation (trucks, helos,etc), potable water, and more. This would be an incredible tool for the UN or maybe an organization like Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières.

That airplane could deliver a devastating punch with very little time to react. I sure hope air defenses are up to snuff.
I guess Santa, the Easter Bunny and [insert cultural myth here] are dead. Damn webcams.

Hey, leave me out of this! No matter how correct you may- or may not- be (and I think you are), you don't have the right to speak for everybody.
Syncthing works great - especially with SyncTrayzor on Windows.

Maybe they should have a label. "Spy Satellite: KEEP OUT!"
This makes me wonder if spy (or other sensitive) satellites have tamper-detection built in.

The FISA Court has apparently never heard of the Constitution.
Isn't a landmine a "lethal autonomous weapons system?"
Pull the Curtin on this idiot: "Diane, you pompous ass."
