I cannot agree more. I am so sad this got approved. This was one of the worst ICANN decisions ever. It effectively another step towards a more closed, exclusive and closed wall Internet. The big names get their own TLDs now, well out of the reach of individuals. It's AOL keywords all over again, except worse.
Entitled? What if you grew up there; lived there all your damn life. People who like moving can go -- and if they have family somewhere they often do. But there are a lot of people who don't like moving. They want to be near their family and their home.
At one time they could live out on a BART line and afford a single one bedroom for under $1k like so many other cities in the US. But that was decades ago. The tech market emerged and created a totally different social environment. Housing sky rocketed and people in normal jobs struggled to make ends meat.
Who are you to say who should and shouldn't live there. And if all the people who couldn't afford to live there left, who exactly is going to work in your coffee shops, your corner stores, drive your buses and man the rail stations? Just because you don't have a fancy-ass tech job means you should have to commute over an hour each day to work shit wages in live in shit overpriced housing?
George Carlin said it best: they call it the America dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.
Thank god. On Seattle's subreddit, it's nothing but homeless hate. They do nothing but complain about the homeless and want all the tent cities gone.
Seattle's homeless problem is a total crisis. When it's this many people camped out on the street and in parks, they don't chose it. Even people I know with normal/non-tech jobs are in a constant struggle to just make ends meat.
Yea, I was expecting to see something in the article where they somehow injected their malware without changing the MD5 or SHA sums and put them back in the official mirrors. That would have been way more impressive.
They offer not having all the shit and crapware that Samsung/Sony/LG/HTC install that you cannot get rid of. The speed on my Sony was night and day from stock to Cyanogen. They pretty much offer a stock AOSP experience, plus a couple of nice UI and general features (that don't kill performance) and that's it.
It's like when you could do a clean install of XP and get rid of all the Dell/Gateway/HP rubbish. But we can't do that with Android.
I'd like to see an Android release that requires all manufactures to use a unified kernel with a standard initrd location. Then you can have AOSP + initrd + (if you want) Gapps and boob: clean basic phone.
The Android eco system is a complicated one. There was a previous article about Torvalds preferring x86 to ARM and the reasons he states directly relate to Android fragmentation. Kernels are often highly customized for each ARM board, where as with the x86 architecture, you're pretty much guaranteed a certain basic architecture stack.
I wrote a post on Android fragmentation a while back: http://penguindreams.org/blog/android-fragmentation/
I'm struggling with Arbian and ArchArm on a ClearFog Pro right now. Wi-Fi drivers like to have all kinds of weird problems. I can't just cross compile a newer kernel to see if the problem is fixed, because the kernel for the Clearfog has a lot of specific kernel patches. Even though ARM boards support the standard PCIE and USB buses.
If I had to do this again, I would have tried to find a small x86/Atom style board. That way I could use Grub/EFI and the tools I'm familiar with.
You can photograph anyone or anything in public. All that bluring of number places is done by tv producers and google maps engineers as more of a general liability protection. It does get into murky waters when law enforcement does it. But if I setup a camera and wrote some software to capture plate numbers and I was doing so from a public road, that is totally legal. I could then sell that info to law enforcement.
I can't believe that's actually their name?! Did they realize they're crazy fucking money grubbing psychos and choose the name intentionally/ironically or are they really that fucking clueless?
I pretty much only pay for indie films these days anyway. Everything in the major cinemas has been so disappointing that I'd rather just pirate it.
They're both psychopaths. Both of you are trolls. The vote doesn't matter. America is a monarchy. The government under Romney would have been the same. Now fuck off and stop pretending your vote matters.
The SSL CA system has been broken for years. Remember Comodo and Iran?
I know companies won't be going to LetsEncrypt anytime soon. They'll pay the premium for that little green icon (or is it blue. Fuck I don't pay attention anymore).
LetsEncrypt basically does the bare minimum that you can honestly do with identity verification today: prove the owner of the domain is really who they say they are. If you're expecting more from SSL-CAs, you need a dose of reality.
This feels like a total 1st amendment violation in every possible way.
I know in the US we have exceptions for first amendment, but this is hardly child porn. I can see how it can be an issue for age discrimination, but it's more a burden on the employer to no utilize this information. Besides, doesn't birthday come back on most standard background checks anyway?
Not to mention the United States created ISIS, funded ISIS and pretty much sent them to war to destabilize Syria. Then they want Assad gone and ISIS gone, essentially fighting some more microwars. It's war war war war and people are fools if they think Trump/Hillary will stop them. No matter who wins, there will be more wars. Tons of wars. There is no end to the wars and counter wars the US starts every year.
I am against current US gun policy and think the 2nd amendment is insane.
That being said, I'm against this ruling. Source code and schematics are free speech. This ruling makes no sense from a legal perspective.
I do think America should register guns, permits should be issued and databases should be searchable and indexable. Currently the only thing the absence of gun registration in the US does is make it more difficult to track crime.
Guns aren't speech. If you like guns, fine. That's great. Go buy a gun, and register the ballistics and keep them locked up and take them out for sport. It's worked in Australia for two decades. Their gun laws post-Hobart shootings have greatly reduced the number of suicides.
People were printing crypto algos on t-shirts back in the 1990s to fight ITAR classifying crypto as a weapon.
I didn't know about this. So Defence Distributed just needs to publish books with all 3d schematics.. maybe also a ton of individually scaleable QR codes that represent the actual files.
I'm a Gentoo user too, but I do gave a damn. I can use Gentoo on my home desktop and my work laptop. It's great. But what about servers?
For a distro I want to use in a production environment, I don't have any real non-systemd choices. My best bet is to package everything in docker containers, so it's easy to redeploy them on anything.
Systemd does solve the full process management problem. That is a real problem. But it also does a bijallion other things it doesn't need to and a GUI/desktop layer certainly shouldn't depend on it.
So far Gentoo and Slackware are the only two major distros without it (Gentoo it's optional, as it should be in all Linux distros!).
It might not affect me or you, but it affects our decisions on what to use to deploy stuff on severs.
Square couldn't exist in a world of pure USB-2-Go because drivers and device representation varied widely from phone to phone. A simple HID device in the phone world is not so simple.
The audio jack was the ultimate bridge for card readers that didn't require special permissions, drivers and was actually universal (more universal than USB!)

7zip is open source and I'm pretty sure it handles rar/zip/gzip too.

Why not Zoidberg!

Did everyone forget about PRISM? I feel like everyone forgot about PRISM.
The PRISM leak states that every one of this big companies, MS, Google, Facebook, have dedicated software hooks for searching any record, anytime.
Or is Edward Snowden is limited hangout, and everything he said coming straight from the CIA?
So with Windows, FirefoxOS and Ubuntu Mobile fading out, are we just stuck with Android/iOS now?

denier? anti-science?
Do you realize those are weasel words? Science is not a religion, except when it is. Also, Science is not a verb. That's just a pet peve.
Comodo should have had all their keys revoked forever ago.

When I first saw Gnome 3 I thought it was a great time to try tiling window managers. Four years later, I'm still using i3.
I've slowly watched the GTK3 toolkit get more and more horrible.
Who's funding Gnome today anyway?
You realize over 70% of the shit in your home is made in China right? Including things that have last over 5 and even 10 years.
