Mods, thanks for the upvotes. On the other hand, it's a little sad that got upvoted. On the third (?) hand, yeah, but it's a correct and true statement ("Information is power."). On the fourth (!!!!!) hand, damn, it's nice to see that Game of Thrones AC modded down to zero. "Power is power!", my ass! I hope I'm not getting to deep for you. I often tend toward that, sorry. Meh.
May I say, GoT really sucks! Vampires and monsters, rapes at the drop of a hat, Machiavellian tyrants,... Boring. Get a life! Firefly made far more sense.
Uh. This is where I need to say something insightful to remain relevant. I'm busy slurping Carlos Santana off youtube, and wondering HTF I missed so many Pink Floyd album releases (I guess I was working, or something).
Why's James Comey bitching about crypto when the FBI's website recommends crypto?
ESR says he'll match funds toward the purchase of the needed hardware, so if you want to help drive him into bankruptcy, now's your chance.
Now you have my attention.
Not a bad way to go out if you think about it. Assume ESR in his doctor's office: "You have three months to live."
"Cool! I'm going to instigate a full on crapfest buying spree fueled by my "GeekNation." We'll pre-order *everything* Intel, Foxconn, and Cisco are going to produce in the next two decades, I'll be long dead once the bills start to roll in, and Western Civilization will collapse into a black hole of insolvency before anyone realizes what's going on. Suck it PRC bastards! I'll be bigger than Hitler!!! Woohoo!"
<Dilbert>Was that better or worse? I don't know how to tell.</Dilbert> # PHB: "You don't show enough passion for your job."
[A bit over the top, I admit, but we are discussing ESR.]
I'd just like to say that watching you jerks bring up MS apps on only the second post into a discussion wrt ESR is bloody annoying, and only slightly less annoying than dragging iBaubles in too.
might as well post it in Jovian Decimal Time, then...
How about we define the Great Red Spot to be Jovian "Greenwich." Correct if I'm wrong, but last I heard all of Earth would fit into the GRS. Oooh, complication. So much for granularity. Not to mention, the existence of Jovians is yet to be proved, so wtf would anyone want Jovian time zones?
[Good book: "Galileo's Dream" actually touches on this (tangentially).]
Well, yes your point does stand but AC is correct: it would stand with more authority if you took the time to google for correct details...
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
Fuck YOU! I pointed you (both) at a judge who'd been found recently to have used his position for personal gain. You demand I supply you with easily (!!!) found details.
FUCK you both. You have just as much access to the net's resources as do I.
My point still stands. You lazy twits can go play youtube (try youporn!:-) now. Your job is done. I'll suffer your ilk no longer. Grow up children!
At the lowest level of LTE the provider can take control of the phone at a lower level than the operating system.
I was just reading a story about the "Citizen Four" (Snowden) documentary. He worries they can quietly enable VOIP phones' mics. That's hardware; OS level stuff; "root/administrator" access. Considering their NSL access (to AT&T, et al), they have full control of anything they want to control of things you think you own.
If they can turn on the mic to listen in, surely they can read and slurp anything stored on the thing, and bolted on after the fact crypto isn't going to protect anything.
Orwell was a piker. But then, he wasn't a Musolini, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Mugabe, Abdulaziz, Stalin, Assad,... (have I missed any? Oh yeah, Netanyahu,...) nor a US president.
The Nazis won, because our democratically elected leaders adopted their methods.
Well, there you go. They're ideally suited. Poke some holes in the roofs to let out the smoke from cooking/heating fires, and maybe you non-homeless will never see or hear from them again. Win-win? Add solar panels to the roof and they can charge their iBaubles, post on/., hack facebook or crack banks; fun for all! Hey, maybe you can conscript them to attack Best Korea and ISIS, or fly drones for the military!
You don't even have to pay the cops to get them there. They'll volunteer to live there!
My point stands. Sorry about the details. There's so much crap going on in the USA, it's difficult to keep it all straight. I am not going to $google every word I type.
The government having access to this type of information at will does not make me secure from much of anything.
This is what we get for letting lawyers take control of civilization. We should have stuck with the poets (Vaclav Hamel), scientists (Hypathia, Archimedes,... (too many to mention)), and philosophers (Aristotle).
We get what we deserve. We should take it all back, before we no longer can.
The founders meant actual, physical paper (made from wood pulp, no vellum or papyrus!) when they said "papers" and "effects" to specifically mean snuff boxes. Law enforcement are merely constitutional purists.
Sorry if that's a joke and I didn't get it (that happens to me a lot, as many here can attest).
I'm pretty sure they (founders & etc.) couldn't care less about their blank (yet to be used) "paper", whatever it was made from[*].
They were trying to protect ideas and opinions which had been committed to paper. G. Washington was a cryptographer and spymaster. It astonishes me that present day LEOs apparently don't know this. I'm a Canuck, and I know it. What's their excuse? Public school educations?
[*] A lot of them were also hemp farmers. It makes terrific fibre for rope and clothing, among other things.
Then it's either sheer fucking arrogance that pushes them around obtaining a warrant (we're the "law", we don't need a warrant), or you are actually wrong, and they're harder than it appears on TV.
Oh, come on. A New York judge was recently busted for being in collusion with a young offender's prison. Damned near every kid who faced him got time. The cops could do no wrong, or it would hit him in his wallet.
I would just like to say/. needs a new icon for cellphone stories. The current one looks more like a calculator, even if its tooltip disagrees. I think maybe it ought to be one of those goofy looking bricks with an antenna we used to see sitting in the middle of tables last century.
However (careful what you wish for), please don't use an iBauble instead. That'd just be flamebait.
You go do that with RHEL/CentOS 7 or with the expected package set for Jessie, and tell me what you come back with.
No thank you. I don't do RH (or Centos, or SLS, or its freres), for a reason. I'm a Debian guy. However, my friends do, and they have no problems with them.
I lean toward Slackware (and OpenBSD), but Debian's *better* (or my way). Meh. You go your way, I'll go mine. They all work, and much better than the comercial alternatives.
I can't believe people like you. Install a bare-bones Debian (no desktop, server, print manager,...), then apt-get anything you want. You don't have to run Gnome n/KDE/??? or whatever comes stock installed. You can apt-get blah after the install making it the sweet, 133t box you want it to be, no cruft (well, perhaps I overstate...:-) whatever!
Physician heal (or educate) yourself. FFS, grab an unused box and try a few installs in as many ways as you want. When the weekend's over, you'll know what you want for your precious snowflake box.
I actually did a "which systemd" on my current Mint XFCE install--which has GIMP installed and up-to-date--and got only silence.
Unsurprising. Same here. Wrong command. Try:
aptitude search systemd | grep ^i i libpam-systemd - system and service manager - PAM module i libsystemd-daemon0 - systemd utility library i libsystemd-journal0 - systemd journal utility library i libsystemd-login0 - systemd login utility library i systemd-services - systemd runtime services i systemd-shim - shim for systemd
Huh. I'm running a (very recently installed) hacked Mint 17 (and I'm still learning how it works; long story).
Um...I know apt-get isn't shy about installing all kinds of dependencies when I need them...
Tell me about it ("CUPS"). "aptitude upgrade" has always wanted to upgrade/re-install seemingly thousands of packages every time I try it. I call these things "Debian gotchas", but I don't much worry about it. Debian would be exstatic for me/us to volunteer to see if I/we can "fix" them if I/we can. I'm pretty lazy, and I trust the DDs to generally do the right thing (they're smarter than I am). This "systemd dependency" issue is just the latest "WTF?!? *Everything* drags in CUPS!!!" issue. Meh.

Now I have to correct myself. Something I read yesterday said, "... has ever come to a planet", not specifying Earth.

As a bonus, putting these criminals in jail will also most likely stop all this complaining about a prisoner shortage.
Geez, and I was so hoping they'd be recycled as homeless shelters.
Then it's either sheer fucking arrogance that pushes them around obtaining a warrant (we're the "law", we don't need a warrant), or you are actually wrong, and they're harder than it appears on TV.

Unfortunately, as long as it isn't also unconstitutional to hand out candy like candy ...
I think that's handled by anti-paedo laws now. It's only allowed on Halloween. Note, they're also warning parents about THC laden treats these days.

You go do that with RHEL/CentOS 7 or with the expected package set for Jessie, and tell me what you come back with.

... waiting up to a week for an update was a bit too long.
WTF are you doing in a Debian discussion?!?
Sorry, but *you* are an anonymous coward. This means that your assertions have no value.
BS. Anonymity doesn't lessen the value of their statements. Judge them on their merits, or shut up.
You start an executable ... What do I need to do to "support an init system"?
[Guessing] Tell it how to start an executable?
There are changes to Linux like SELinux and AppArmor which are must haves.
I don't know anybody who uses Linux who doesn't despise SELinux. Data centres or corporate firewalls, maybe it's used, but I haven't seen it here.
