The 2007 Boston Bomb Scare was absolutely an appropriate response.
Consider what was found: Electronic devices with lights shaped in the likeness of characters from an obscure television show that nobody born before 1990 had ever heard of, posed in a gesture that is universally understood to convey "fuck you".
What right-minded officer of the law would not regard that as hostile?
I understand that Linux is a trademark registered to you, with day to day management performed through the Linux Mark Institute . What future do you see for the Linux trademark once you are done with it, so to speak? Do you have an appointed successor, for example?
I see this a lot, recommendations to avoid processed food, but what constitutes processing in this context? Is a boiled egg processed? What about chopped lettuce? A peeled orange?
Or are we talking more about adding items to food such as the much maligned "chemicals"?
Yes, but in those days of 5 megabyte hard disks you probably had a lot of your "information" in physical form - photos, records, letters, CDs, etc, so the consequences of losing that 5MB wouldn't be all that serious.

Umm, no I'm pretty sure patent trolls are doing quite well in this era, thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Straw Man of the year!
Debian Potato?
While I agree with you for the most part, why do you say Hardware RAID instead of Software?
The historical reasons for not using Software RAID (via mdadm) have long been resolved:
What, then, is the advantage of spending hundreds (or thousands) on a RAID card and introducing another point of failure?
That was announced in June.
Although I suspect he's just being primed as a trojan horse for another unsuspecting tech company that holds a chest of patents that Microsoft wants.
So you can compile your own code but you can't share it with your friends without paying up?
Well, no. You'd run that inside a screen session, and with an ampersand not a semicolon.
Well I'd wrap it in a loop of some kind:
for host in `cat /dev/storage/admin/servers.dat`; do ssh root@$host "yum update -y && reboot"; done
You're joking, right?

Yes but you're missing an important point:
It has never been done before in 2015.
My Dad was a Russian all night.
Then again he was a firefighter in a quite large metropolitan area.
Not really.
They can put whatever restrictions they like on the Play store. It's theirs, after all.
If you want to distribute some app that Google doesn't like for some reason, put it up on another repository like F-Droid.
QFC and Safeway?
Are these American variants of KFC and Subway?
They do exist but yes, they are few.
Mostly thanks I suspect to Microsoft's aggressive licensing programme.

Cool. Show me another browser that does hierarchical side tabs and we'll talk.
Heh, yes PDF.js is possibly the worse PDF renderer to see the light of day, with the possible exception of Apple's Preview.
Thankfully just about every Firefox user redirects PDFs to open with okular or SumatraPDF.
Yeah, this looks less Star Wars and more The Incredibles.
The research has dropped 15 vulnerabilities? What does that mean? They did have the vulnerabilities but have now discarded them?
If you want your data to be secured then the only way really is to run a server yourself.
Yes, but in those days of 5 megabyte hard disks you probably had a lot of your "information" in physical form - photos, records, letters, CDs, etc, so the consequences of losing that 5MB wouldn't be all that serious.
Not so common today.
0) RAID1/10 first so that if a disk fails you don't need to go to your actual backups and lose a days work[1].
[1] (Lost work since time of last backup) + (Time to install new disk) + (Time to reinstall / retrieve from backup)
Since recycling is the least-best of the three R's, it might be a good time to look at the other two: Reduce, Re-use.
