Sounds like Dave is running a bunch of old shit with vulnerabilities. Then again, what miners are optimized to run on a G4 after getting through Frontier?
I was waiting for 40" 8K but the new Google/LG goggles give me that view and I can throw it in my laptop bag. Maybe cheaper even. Anyway, 8K will probably be peak screen for me either way. I calculated that back in the 90's just on first principles and it's almost here (I didn't guess about the goggles though).
viciously attacked those he felt denigrated or didn't appreciate this genius
Yeah, he was a decent writer, had some good imaginative ideas, and was a grade-A asshole. He was a consummate statist, suing everybody he could under various copyright theories.
His writings might have been much better if he could have internalized a future where people aren't so constrained by scarcity that they'd go around seeking vengeance.
We're better off that society is moving on from this kind of thinking.
Remember, the OPM breach compromised every single federal worker
The Chicoms got a copy of the OPM database but you can't get it on the dark web, like this one will be. That's a major difference.
I know one of our fellow/.'ers who was seriously trying to get a copy of the OPM database. He turned up suddenly dead last year with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Probably a coincidence, but he was insistent that I turn off my cell phone before talking about it. No joke - I gave him a copy of Tails as I do for everybody but I have no evidence of causality there.
I only know a few of y'all in person, but you're the best kind of crazy friends.
Killing somebody in anger is only "easy' if you're a psychopath. It's hard to imagine a non-psychopath saying such a thing. Who's anger raises to the level of murderousness? That's serious mental illness - which is the real violence problem in society.
I'll tell you who does want to kill you though - Mao, Stalin, Pol-Pot, Leopold II, and Hitler. They are empirically far more dangerous.
Some people want to be incorrect, but they still believe they're right. These people have emotional baggage that it's not your job or competency to fix and your time and attention can do far more good with the other seven billion people.
Hey, I have a Tiger machine that runs TenFourFox just fine* on PPC G5. But anyway, install Debian on the Mac, don't trash it. Apple is very clear that you get only so long on their software and then you're expected to be back at the Apple Store - it's not reasonable to expect Mozilla to support software that even Apple has abandoned.
* 40% CPU with just one simple lowendmac.com page open even with UBO running... just in case you thought Firefox didn't have any more optimization to do.
The only company I was actually getting spam from was ebay. They gave the email address to the sellers and they started spamming me. SO no more goods from ebay for me.
Add an ISO date to your format. ebay.com-20180626@example.com . Then when some random person from Shenzhen sells your address you just discontinue that one instead of quitting ebay forever. For bonus points look for that pattern in your greylister and match on today to avoid initial delay for website signups.
So if I'm in New Hampshire, a state with no sales tax, and I mail a package to somebody in Oregon, a state with no sales tax, you want me to pay a 2% tax to the feds? Because other stupid States can't seem to control their spending? That's not how federalism works.
You clearly don't understand the start up cost of a business. No small startup can't afford tens of thousands of separate tax filings, much less the categorization and rate maintenance that go into determining those filings. What you're saying is screw the small businesses, Walmart and Amazon will handle the rest of the economy.
That doesn't make any sense. If I order something, I'm placing an order for a sale. The seller then decides if the sale will be complete. There can be many factors that go into that decision, including whether or not the item is in stock, backorder, etc. If the seller cancels the order because he doesn't have any stock, there's nothing at all as the consumer that I can do about it. Because the sale isn't complete until the seller accepts the sale. At that point, with the sale complete, he mails it to me. What the feds are saying now is that you can be taxed on things you mail, based on the sale price of the item, in the jurisdiction to which it is being mailed. That's just daffy.
It might be good to have wireless charging ability at home but what about when you're "on the go" and just need to connect to a cable somewhere to charge your phone, and there's no special Apple wireless charger?
Important places will install wireless charging stations for important people.
It's good to get all these notifications and auto-sort them. Sometimes people will delete their borderline criminal comments after a while and the notification email is nice cryptographically-signed evidence.
Correct, but the Silicon Valley socialists are economic ignoramuses so they're calling for UBI to assuage their guilt about destroying 20th-century jobs.
If they would just learn about economics and history they could celebrate their creative destruction and be happy with their lives.
The trouble is they're too smart to need to learn anything besides what they already know.
The FairTax(tm) decreases revenues too much for socialists and makes everybody dependent on monthly government checks, so the small-government people won't go for it (dependency is bad). Perhaps a European socialist democracy could pull it off.
How about, instead, we rewind spending to Year-2000 levels and completely abolish the Income Tax, and repeal the 16th Amendment?
Whether or not they have it stored on their servers it's exactly the same situation?
Give me a break. If they are encrypting it on the phone and decrypting it on the browser, fine, I'll try it. Otherwise, forget it - more Google "features" that give them a conduit for NSL demands.
Does anybody have a ZTE device they can recommended that works with an open source Android and LTE band 13? 4GB of RAM and a decent screen would be nice. The lack of NSA implants will make up for a few shortfalls.
I "punish" Apple for not allowing me to load my own apps but not buying their stuff, which I think is the best remedy, but I have four app stores on my phone (Android) and that is clearly a point of distinction driven entirely by Apple policy to prevent competition. The FTC could nail them without needing a monopoly finding.
I came here to say this. I absolutely remember when Burger King had paper straws and I would get a small vanilla shake and after about two minutes the paper straws would collapse and I'd pop the (plastic) lid off and drink the shake from the cup after putting the messy straw on the tray (later paper tray liners became a thing).
Plastic straws seemed like a godsend when I was about six.
Now then, as an adult I learned to take neither a straw nor a lid and drink out of the paper cup without the need for an artificial nipple to suck on. I don't really understand why that isn't the obvious solution, excepting the drive-through.

What was the trouble? They were for sale on CBOE.

VM separation protects you from Murphy, not Machiavelli.
This is the quote of the day.
But now I have to wonder which your .sig is. ;)

When no "starttls" is advertised, the client will not upgrade and keep using the plaintext connection.
That's completely up to the client. Where it matters I have mine configured to stop if STARTTLS isn't successful.

All those new IPO expenses really saved the economy!
It's good to get all these notifications and auto-sort them. Sometimes people will delete their borderline criminal comments after a while and the notification email is nice cryptographically-signed evidence.
Send a letter to their legal department and give them e.g. 30 days to stop sending you email before filing a lawsuit.
