    Like most banks in Europa allready have?
    If I make an online purchase with my CC I always have to confirm it with the cardreader (2FA).
    Only Eve Online (online game) does not get those checks any more because I pay them every month with the CC

    Mars does not have a (strong enough) magnetic field to protect de atmosphere and surface from the radiation

    Sure the software could ask for root, but the password prompt would ring alarms instantly

  13. 11 years already on Linux Turns 25, Is Bigger and More Professional Than Ever (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm using Linux for about 11 years already. Back in those days you had to recompile the kernel to get wifi working and I don't remember how many times I broke X when playing around as root. I quickly learned to do that in a VM and not on my daily pc :) Setting up Linux was difficult but when it was set up it ran without any problems (unless you wrecked it as root like I did). In comparison : Win XP crashed by just looking at it. In all those years I only used Windows for my education and later on VM's to test websites in IE/Edge. For the rest Linux. RedHat, Cent-OS,Suse,Ubuntu, Debian. I don't care. As long as it is Linux :)

    Right and everyone uses tools like that? Sure if you need programs that don't run on Linux, then Linux is nothing for you. But it can be for others.

  17. Not the server on Ransomware Hits UK Website, Defaces Homepage · · Score: 1

    Most likely that a pc from the organisation got infected and the website got updated from that pc or that the FTP-login got stolen. As a hoster we see "hacked" websites sometimes and it is always the pc of the customer. The server is nicely up to date.

  18. Any Linux distribution you like is fine, but for working stuff I would avoid Arch/Fedora-alikes. They are bleeding edge distro's. While it is nice to have the newest stuff, they have a taste of breaking down ones a while. Debian stable is the other end. Old software, but rock solid. For in between : look at Ubuntu / Mint / Suse You can install a LAMP-stack on all of them. Even generate your own self-signed certs for https-testing.

    Then complain to the hardware makers that they should include Linux-drivers also on that disk? Not like the makers behind Linux can help it if the hardware makers don't make drivers and don't give specs.

    On what type of hardware are you trying to install Linux? It is true that Linux does not support all hardware, but it supports more then Windows out of the box (without driver CD's). Second video card. Sound like Nvidia? => http://bumblebee-project.org/ Blame Nvidia for this that it took them ages to add support for it in their drivers! I personally never use hibernate (takes longer then cold boot), but standby works without any problems on my pc's and laptop. Still it is dependent on the hardware. If you try to install Linux on a Windows-machine most of the time it will work, but not always.

    I have different Linux machines (desktops, servers and laptops) and NONE have any problems accessing the network/internet for years. 8 a 10 years ago yes, at that time I had to compile the wifi-drivers myself but now? click, click, done. Only problem I have is getting the games to function well trough wine........
