That's not necessarily bad - it brings with it a lot of advantages - but it does mean that supporting Linux is a *LOT* of work for a hardware vendor. The user base must be correspondingly larger for it to be worth their while.
Yes, it means that it might just be easier for hardware vendors to release *good* *documentation* for their hardware, which is all we really wanted, anyway.
The governor general, who is appointed by the queen, has veto power over Canadian laws being passed.
The Governor General is appointed by "the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister" (i.e. by the Prime Minister), and the veto power is mostly symbolic (i.e. it is not exercised).
Odd. I rented a vehicle from Hertz when I was 21. Granted, it cost me 20.00 CAD per day extra, but Hertz was one of the few places in town that would rent to me at all (unless I had my own insurance, apparently).
The strongest principle in computer security is simplicity. When you get rid of a firewall, you get rid of a level of complexity and a potential vulnerability.
Would it even be legal for them to do so if they wanted to?Wouldn't that violate their fiduciary responsibilities to their shareholders? It'd be like microsoft killing off their upgrade revenue by releasing a secure OS.
Yeah... I can see that shareholder lawsuit going somewhere...
It's not a matter of morality, it's a matter of self preservation.
Precisely. Ever notice how some sort of marriage ceremony seems to be engrained in many otherwise distinct cultures? It leads me to suspect that what people like to call "sexual morality" is really just a survival trait that evolved as a result of natural selection. Recent research on sexual networks (example) seems to point to the same conclusion.
On the other side, it must suck if you are hurt and need help, and your cell phone does not work. No, not at the site of the bombing because the police will be there, but if you are somewhere else, and have a heart attack or get hit by a car.
With GSM, emergency calls are treated specially (for example, you don't need a SIM to make emergency calls. well, at least not in Canada/USA), so it's possible that emergency calls still worked, while regular calls were blocked.
It has everything to do with the atmosphere. On Earth, the atmosphere diffuses incoming light. As a result, we see see a coloured sky during the day, and compared with this, the stars are too faint to be seen.
On the moon, there is not enough of an atmosphere (if any) to significantly diffuse sunlight, so you'll always see a black "sky" on the moon. However, daylight is still just as bright as on Earth, if not brighter, so when you're taking photographs, your camera's aperture and exposure time settings will need to be similar to what they would be outside on a sunny day on Earth. As a result, you end up with a black sky, no stars, and the start of a conspiracy theory.
most likely the stars are hidden due to the brightness of the comet. i know the parent post meant to be funny, but there's a clear distinction between the moon landing and this.
I fail to see the distinction between this and the moon. Both lack an atmosphere to diffuse light.

"Drivey Test"... That looks familiar...
Perhaps this has been asked before, but couldn't Linux developers be considered a class in a class-action lawsuit?
I'd personally rather use a full-size keyboard with laptop-style keys.
Client-server architectures are *so* 1990s. You need a "peer-to-peer" architecture now...

I have some lead food containers to sell you...
No, no. The grandparent's sig is only talking about the kernel. No sane person would use anything except Debian as their user-space environment...

Maybe you have a faulty USB host controller?
wtf?
How long do you think it will take for these things to hit the market?

Bruce Schneier talks about similar security-defeating effects of secret questions.
The new kid in HR ordered managers with missing or defective bullshit detectors.
If it's used enough, a mobile phone could have a ".mobi" button.
Crap. Typo. I meant to write "95%".
Does *anyone* fully grasp the concept of SQL's NULL? ;)
Who are you calling foreign? Approximately 5% of the people in the world consider the ZEE-people to be the foreigners!

IIRC, SIP doesn't carry voice data, it just initiates calls.
