That's just the way gcc bootstraps itself whenever you compile it, not just gentoo... It's mostly for stability purposes to ensure you didn't build a buggy compiler.
If you don't have a static ip with appropriate reverse dns, you will have major trouble sending any email (most spam filters will flag a dynamic or nonresolving ip as suspicious).
This, run your own service at home... There are many ISPs out there that will give you static ips these days, modern home connections are more than fast enough for a moderately loaded email server and if the server is at your home you have physical control over it and can monitor it, you can also ensure the disk is fully encrypted since you'll be physically present to re-enter the key on bootup.
You don't even need a powerful, expensive and noisy server, a raspberry pi is more than adequate for running a mail server.
Changing passwords regularly ensures that users will pick poor passwords, because they won't be able to memorise a completely new strong password every 30 days...
Most organisations are using active directory for most user accounts, which stores passwords in an extremely weak way... If someone malicious has a copy of the password hashes they can simply perform hash passing attacks with them as soon as they acquire the hashes, without requiring any cracking.
Also password cracking doesn't take a fixed amount of time except for the very weakest algorithms that can be completely brute forced. For most algorithms its a case of trying the most likely passwords first, and in most cases a hacker isn't targeting a single specific account - they're looking for any account that will give them access so they will use the first one that gets successfully cracked.
Convenience of having your data anywhere... With the docks being cheap, many of the advantages of the form factor are not lost - for instance you can keep a dock at work, one at home, and only carry one with you when you know you're going to use it but always have your data accessible to you.
On the other hand you typically carry your phone with you everywhere and never leave it unattended. A desktop or laptop on the other hand is likely to often be left at home or in the office etc... Someone could easily break in and steal it. A bit of vigilance with your phone and its less likely to get stolen than a laptop or desktop.
The problem is it's difficult to identify a low memory situation on a multitasking system, mainly due to such programs... If one program frees up memory or flushes caches in situations like this, then other such programs will no longer see a low memory condition and feel free to allocate themselves more memory. You can't easily control which programs are aiming to conserve memory and which are using it all needlessly.
It's not worse, it's actually slightly better the problem is that a lot of ACPI implementations are designed specifically for windows and don't follow the specs properly (whereas linux does). Chromebooks are designed to run linux (ie they dont have non standard power management designed for windows) and generally have very good battery life
You don't need to use google services to do Android development, you need to use their services if you want to develop against their optional libraries hosted ontop of android or if you want to publish into their play store... But then again, you have to use a mac to develop iphone apps and you have to use windows to develop windows mobile apps.
People are used to the interface, used to the bugs and the arbitrary limits... They won't like a program which has a slightly different interface, they will complain loudly about any bugs they encounter because they've not learned how to work around them. Same with arbitrary limits that they're not previously used to.
The difference here is that there is widespread competition, so noone is forced to use Apple devices, you don't encounter websites which are only compatible with apple devices etc.
The problem with this unhindered flow is that there is a huge economic disparity between the more developed countries in the EU and the newer members, and the UK for instance has one of if not the most generous welfare and healthcare systems in the world...
There are camps of refugees in France who are desperate to get to the UK, and many will go to extremely dangerous lengths to do so... These are not people desperately fleeing a dangerous war torn country - they have already done that. They have already made it to at least one EU country and probably passed through several others in order to get there. And yet despite having already reached safety, they are still willing to take huge risks to get out of France and make it to the UK.
Free movement doesn't work well unless you have very similar conditions and opportunities throughout the area of free movement.
Exactly, companies don't and shouldn't care about the gender of ethnicity of their employees. Suitability for the job at hand should be the only criteria.
If you want to see more diversity among companies you have to start with kids in school and encourage them to take an interest in particular fields, as well as eliminating the peer pressure that exists in schools to push people away from certain fields. For instance technology fields are seen as geeky, so people who show an interest are often picked on in schools and that discourages many people who would otherwise be interested.
You don't need a plan, it sends you one SMS to activate the service (to confirm your number) but that's all.. All the actual communication occurs over IP, so using wifi if you're connected. Once activated it doesn't touch SMS at all.
There is a single unified protocol for VoIP - its called SIP, and there are many providers who provide support for it, usually in the form of bridging it to the regular telephone network rather than using it exclusively online. The problem is that despite being an open protocol, very few of these providers peer using it, they tend to just interconnect using the regular phone network with high per-minute charges especially for intl calls.
Well the problem was that the vote was too simple - in or out... Most people in the UK don't really want to leave the EU, but they wanted reforms on a few key points (as do people in many other european countries) and there was no way to get those reforms so the only option was to leave. If the key problems with the EU were addressed and another referendum held i'm sure the vast majority would vote to stay.
So yes the people have spoken, they don't want to remain in the EU as it currently stands, but if suitable reforms were offered then another referendum would make sense - stay in the new reformed EU, or continue leaving.
The only "responsibilities" they have towards customers and employees are those imposed by consumer protection and employee protection laws, which vary greatly in different countries.
The owners (ie shareholders) of a company can choose to behave however they want within the bounds of the law, or choose to delegate that task to others. They may choose to treat their employees or customers well, but it's exactly that - a choice, not a responsibility.
The employees responsibilities are to carry out the will of the company owners within the confines of the law, whatever that may be.

Just like if you forget the password, which you are more likely to do if the password is complex or changed frequently.

My 7 year old macbook is fine, but it has an SSD... OSX performs terribly these days if you don't have an SSD.

Not having STIG is just one extra excuse used by proprietary vendors to try and exclude open source from contracts...

Low paying manual labor jobs are dominated by men, you see very few women working in these jobs.
