It must be nice to live in an area where Verizon isn' the only option for reliable signal. Meanwhile, those locked bootloaders suck. Too bad the FCC ensures an uncompetitive market and let's them do whatever the hell they want.
@whipslash - can we get a fix to the submit button location on the mobile layout so that a double-tap on the spacebar on Android that's 2mm too far to the right doesn't hit ->| (close keyboard) and Submit?
The kernel dev who wrote the efi code says it's not a systemd problem and following the bug report's suggestion would be the wrong way to solve the problem.
But don't let that stop you from jumping on your favorite whipping boys.
Who willingly wants to still use Windows anyways these days?
People who write Windows apps? People who write Apple-platform apps run OSX, unsurprisingly (as do some jr. web developers). All the other top developers are on one of the linux distros.
I was a KDE user on Fedora from about Fedora 6 to 21. It got so bad that a lead maintainer quit and personally I've switched myself, friends, and family to XFCE. KDE 4.0 was hell until 4.1, but 5 was even worse. A real shame - their star was looking so bright for a while.
disable or restrict access to mod_status if you run a tor hidden service on Apache because mod_status is often enabled by default and serves to localhost; tor connects from localhost. mod_status shows some details of current requests which could leak info on other users.
You're kidding, right? They just announced 1.3 billion users world-wide and their stock went nuts. You and I may not value the service but they're wildly good at what they do. Expect 3 billion before too long.
Yeah, it's been a real sore spot how Slashdot "Inc." has itself been a poor player in the OSS world. Soylent's Slashcode is already the good one and they haven't stolen this community. Network effects, maybe, but also management style, even if you hate to admit it.
I notice you claim that other people have ego problems yet you feel compelled to tell other people how they should think. That's pretty interesting, wouldn't you say?
-- In my 7th grade class, Paul had just gotten a Swiss Army knife for Christmas and was having a problem not taking the chairs apart in the classroom (young people may now be astonished that kids carrying knives to school was normal just 30 years ago, in the pre-Bush America). So, when the Principal came in to "break the news" (I'm sure more than seven other people died that day) we immediately suspected and blamed Paul.
My god, were the tasteless Challenger jokes awful soon thereafter. Shameful - eleven year-old boys can be sociopaths.
A person is not an IP. If everybody puts up a guest network, we're done with this problem. Classic Prisoner's Dilemma though - I put one up but most of the commenters here are too chicken. I've got a VLAN for "Guest" so I can have AP's around the property, OpenWRT bridges an SSID to VLAN admirably, and pfSense [minimally] filters and shapes traffic effectively. I'm considering dropping off that traffic on a buck-a-month VPS over OpenVPN but haven't had the need yet (rural living).
more like a prelude to doing an inversion with Apple Ireland. Should've been the McIntosh. I hear that Apple, an Irish company, will keep a nice R&D facility in the Republic of California.
Timothy is a genius. When there's nothing in the queue he just reposts the worst article from yesterday, and it's good for ten kilopageviews from people complaining about it. Printing money.
I want my fellow citizens to be able to get higher education and health care and other base necessities of modern day life regardless of whether or not they were born to a rich family.
That's very admirable - and of course you should back your goals financially.
And I want people to continue to graduate without student debt weighing them down so they can actually spend the money they make and thus help the economy.
You're making an "unseen error here - the money that pays for the education instead of loans has to be taken out of the economy a-priori and you're ignoring its economic benefits. Given the time-value of money it might well be huge. Education is an economic good, and like all valuable economic goods it has a multiplicitive effect. If there should be forced public funding of education then why not housing or food, which have an even higher multiplier? If housing is backed by loans, like most economic goods, education can be too.
Now access to financing may well be an issue in Finland, but giving rich people free stuff paid for by the middle class is hardly an egalitarian solution.
This system works
It achieves certain outcomes at the expense of others that you're ignoring. From what I'm reading here, Finland's economy is tanking, necessitating these cuts, so that can't be the outcome you're referring to.
I'm paying for my past education and the education of the coming generations by paying across the board higher taxes than most people in say, the US- And I'm completely alright with that,
It's great that you're OK with what you're paying for - that means you would do the same thing voluntarily. But to see if the system is just, you must see what happens to somebody who is not OK with it. Will violence be uses against them if they choose not to participate? If so, you must be willing to engage in violence, killing people if necessary, for the sake of forcing OTHER people to pay for a high university-level education rate to achieve questionable economic benefits.
In the meanwhile, you should voluntarily donate personally to a fund set up for free education of foreign students.
around here we don't consider the value of a person's life to be based on how rich they are.
I spent most of a decade working at a big medical center near the northern US border. So many [wealthy] Canadians.
But, yeah, the US prices have gone nuts since the HMO Act of 1973. Here's an Emergency Room doc talking about how bad it is and offering some solutions .
Many government IT folks only do what they're told to do. Often they can do those things well. And especially with contractors, there's nothing done that's not specified in lengthy contracts.
In the private sector, an IT worker will often see a need and implementation a solution to save his frustration - occasionally he'll even tell the boss about it.
This tends to attract different types of people to the two jobs. The same goes for Congress - very few people who are competent actually want to work there. Most of the Congressman will privately confide that most of the other Congressman are unimpressive. Not themselves, of course.

The government - the FCC gets to regulate the Internet. Users are screwed, just as we knew would happen from when this was first proposed.
