I tried a strict high fat, low carb diet. I certainly lost weight and felt fine, but had horrendous body ordour and my armpit became, frankly, toxic. I gave it up when my girlfriend threatened to stop sleeping with me, and my workmates started avoiding coming into my office (which was also a blessing in some respects).
There have been loads of targeted emails like this sent out pretending to be from debt collection agencies acting on our behalf. Our switchboard and generic company email address were swamped by calls from the recipients. Some were quite nasty and threatened violence....
So don't use it. Use a BSD or opensolaris, or pay for your software.
IANAL, but if this breaches the GPL and you don't like it then don't use GPL software. Or add the module to the kernel yourself and don't re-distribute.
I don't understand why some people bitch about linux or the GPL. No one is forcing anyone to use it. In the meantime, millions of others will carry on using it successfully while not giving a flying fuck about re-distribution with incompatible software licenses.

What tablet would have bought with a 64 bit ARM processor 2 years ago.
Mind you, it doesn't say if it is running 64 bit ubuntu....
Except that Concorde could supercruise without reheat (afterburner). The fighters could only go supersonic with reheat, so burning huge amounts of fuel and therefore couldn't do it for very long. Concorde would not have needed too much of a head start.....
Errr no. We do not give our users any admin rights to install software, and specifically forbid it in our company procedures. If we let very user install whatever.exe they felt like clicking, our company network would be ass fucked to a gaping mess within days......
I upgraded from kubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 last week (an in-place upgrade, not a reinstall), and then immediately added the latest packages from the backports ppa. Everything is working fine for me, no crashes. I realise there are some inconsistencies as not everything is ported to plasma 5 / qt5, and I know some widgets are missing, but overall my experince is positive and I love the breeze dark theme.
Anyone who thinks this anywhere near as bad as the kde3 > kde4 transition has a very short memory.........
You don't need to buy a phone without google's crap on it. You buy an unlocked phone that is well supported on omnirom or cyanogenmod then you walk through the install instructions that are so simple a child could follow them. You don't install gapps, and then you install the f-droid store where you find firefox, k9mail, vlc and various other cool apps. Anything you need that's not on f-droid you sideload.
That's what I did on my work-issued galaxy s4. I now have an ultra fast and responsive phone with great battery life.
Oh, and startpage as your default search engine......
If you can't be bothered to do all that, then just suck on whatever apple or google feed you.
Can't you just have a hard drive failure? Works for the IRS........
A rolling program of scheduled hard drive failures should minimise the amount of embarrasment.
He doesn't want you to know what new powers he wants, just like he didn't want you to know what powers he already has.
He wants you to be afraid, so you will let the security services get on with doing absolutely whatever they want without question or meaningful oversight.
True. I have to say as a Brit visiting Huntsville in Alabama, it was a shock to find that they named the local exhibition centre after the designer of the V rockets that hit London during WW2.
If one man murders another in the street, is it terrorism?
Presumably if Raoul Moat had been a Muslim, his killing spree would have been terrorism too.......
why do meteorites "expode" in the atmosphere? Can someone post a simple explanation?
Yes, I know stuff gets hot when it flies through the atmosphere at very high speeds, but what is the mechanism for a kilo/mega ton explosion? Why don't they just ablate (is that the right word)?
When we walk through traffic and hear cars coming up on us, or know people's position in a room from the direction and magnitude of their voice. It's no surprise that someone lacking an important sense like sight will have much better developed echolocation ability.
That's hardly echo location. That's just stereo hearing.
The best example I have of that is when I'm skiing - I process where people skiing behind me are by using 2 ears, so that I don't suddenly turn in front of them. No sound generation or echos required....
Spies should respect laws and constitutions, at the very least those of their own country. If they don't, everyone - including those who ordered the illegal spying - should be punished severely. We already know this is not happening.
Freedom is far more important than a spy's ability to do whatever they "need" to do.
But now the NSA and GCHQ have positioned themselves as apex predators at the top of the information food chain. They can spy on anyone, but no one is allowed to spy on them. There might be some king of notional "oversight" commitee for window dressing. So who might potentially be able to investigate the security services and hold them to account? That would be journalists and lawyers.....
Firstly we have the perennial problem that the security services are allowed to spy on anyone with very little oversight. If they want to spy on someone they should be required to get a court order, and that court order should be made public so that everyone can see what they are doing. If the court order cannot be immediately made public for legitimate security reasons then it should be made public as soon as possible (i.e. certainly within a year, preferably sooner). Furthermore, information gathering should not start until that court order is issued - i.e. there should be no requirement for ISPs/telcos to log and retain traffic "just in case" it is needed at a later date.
So given that we already have this problem, further extending the powers of the seucrity services seems like a bad plan.
Futhermore, this stuff is always justified as "to stop a serious threat", and yet there seems to be very little evidence that there are lots of "serious threats" that need stopping. And as always, this stuff is always spun as "to stop the criminals" and attention is diverted from the fact that not everyone who uses a lawyer is a criminal.
This....
What keeps getting forgotten is that in a democracy, the powers that the police and security services enjoy are a privilege granted by the people via our elected government. These privileges require our consent, and to consent we need to know what is being done, by who, to who. If we don't know then we can't consent, and any powers that the security services (ab)use that we haven't consented to are illegitimate.
The SV is definitely not "far bigger and more durable than any of its existing tanks", being quite a bit lighter than the Challenger 2's 60+ tonnes.
It's is certainly bigger and heavier than the CVR(T) series vehicles it is intended to directly replace, although there are many who say that a vehicle who's primary mission is reconnaisance should not be a 40 tonne tank.

In the UK they drank beer because the alcohol helped to sterilize it.
Actually, the water used was boiled during the beer making process and that's what sterilized it. The alcohol probably helped keep it that way.

Well, we mostly use Libreoffice at work. Are we vulnerable if we open a powerpoint file in Impress?
The words "social media app" and "anonymity" in the same sentence? What could possibly go wrong?
FYI the Funtoo flavour of Gentoo avoids systemd completely, even with the lastest Gnome 3.
