I am one of the Korora users. I still choose it when I want to deploy a system on which I am merely an auxiliary user, and I just want it to be ready-to-go for the users. I have migrated to Fedora for my own systems because I kickstart and inject all my own configs and repos. But, for the family machines, they get Korora. With the arrival of Fedora 28, though, the K26 systems will fall behind and eventually I'll upgrade them to Fedora 28+.
I realize every couple of years somebody markets something like this, that never quite lives up to its hype. But, every time, it gets us a little bit closer to Star Trek!
I read the title as, "MIT Researchers Developed a 'Systemd for Dream Control'" and thought, "Oh, great. Now they're ruining dreams too! Systemctl stop nightmare.service"
You could hang a row of A1 posters on that wall of text!
False! The parent poster used carriage returns appropriately to turn his text into paragraphs. As a minor grammar nazi, I approve the parent poster's grammar.
GPS has what, ~3/4 meters precision? That's on Earth.
This would eventually have 1 km precision in _all_ of space. Ya that's a big circle on my futuristic, hologram smartphone Goopple Maps (c), but in _all_ of space?! Damn...
When Russian security services ban your product because encryption too good, isn't that like seal of approval for the encryption?
Not necessarily. The licensing deal between the US and Russian intelligence communities has expired, and during the re-negotiations (read: TPP), the Russians don't have the sweet cracking/listening tools available, because it was running as a SAAS from the US gov't private cloud. Damn efficient SSO and that expired service account means Russia can't log in to the tool to read all the Telegram messages, so it's best just to block it!
Star Trek Dickscovery is CBS, but I'll forgive you for confusing the two
I assume the person who indicated Star Trek Discovery is on Netflix is from one of the countries where it is on Netflix (every country expect the US and Canada).
"I have this idea about a machine that would transport matter instantly from one place to another, but I don't know much about physics, can someone flesh it out for me"
Easy!
1. Design device that transports matter instantly from one place to another. 2. ??? 3. Profit!
We got hit with this at work. Luckily we didn't run into trust issues but it did take us around 10 hours to run the "fix"they released.
Same here. The Windows team struggled for over 12 hours to roll back this patch manually. I was the one person on the (Windows+Linux) team they hadn't called, apparently, so I learned on Monday of the troubles.
If they are going to make gmail as slow as their recently redesigned Calendar, I will be mad. I hate the slower calendar web page. It was better before. I really need to accelerate setting up my own groupware server. Any ideas for which open source projects I should try?
You could probably use machine learning to teach English from slashdot posts such as this. There are so many, most likely covering every common and obscure English rule in existence.
Shh! By your announcing it, the AI now knows the real reason, and will be taking each new grammar rule with a grain of salt!
I always use the information for a certain fictional character-- it's easy enough to remember that character's info, and it's not yours. So, for example, Mister Spock's mother's maiden name is Grayson.

I've even had to give the "answers" once over a voice call to a CSR, and that works just fine. I got about halfway through reading the string of digits and they said "good enough" and moved on. Which was less than truly ideal, but good enough and worth a chuckle.
When reading that, I imagined hearing Patrick Stewart/Data reading that aloud.
I used to work at a quick service restaurant (read: fast food restaurant), and the women's restroom was normally a little bit dirtier than the men's room. I didn't experience anything quite as extreme as the parent post author, but I did notice the men were not the grossest people in the bathrooms...
Slashdot Mirror
and only show a lock icon when the user is navigating to an HTTPS-secured website. From a report:
"And show only a lock sign" would have been less ambiguous. I see a lot of people confused over what's being suggested here.
Show only a lock sign? How would a person be able to tell what URL the browser is showing? Oh, that's right, people are already scared of URLs...

Wow, I have no idea who most of those people are. Could you give me a car analogy, please?

Wow, great sense of humor. You pick up a lot of women with that amazing wit?
This is /. What do you think?!
