So... you take your broadcast and 'encrypt' it by replacing it with random (I'm presuming white) noise. How does this help?
Surely, if it's indistinguishable from random noise, then it really is random noise? Unless you -can- distinguish it because you know how the encryption algorithm works?
Yeah, I cut-and-pasted it from the site where the I dug the full quote from. It was the meaning that mattered to me, not some petty points scoring crusade over a mis-spelling.
Tell them to stick their change advisory board up their shiny rear end. For fifty servers, with updates applied separately for each, they'll never get anybody to come in and do that task voluntarily. They'd need a small team.
Microsoft do actually spend quite a bit of time ensuring that all the changes they apply are proper stable fixes or improve security. How could some advisory board know more about these proposed fixes than Microsoft's developers who are writing the damn things in the first place?
I got all the way through the first page. The argument behind this seems to be that prices in the SSD world are higher than prices in the HDD world for technical reasons, and the technical reasons aren't going away so the price gap will remain. Until someone overcomes the technical problems, and the author, who is clearly a world leading expert in this field, doesn't know how the technical problems will be overcome. I think it'll take him by surprise when it happens.
No, it's not asinine, but a nod to the intellect of the reader. It demonstrates that the writer has confidence that the reader understands what they're saying. It demonstrates humour and it...
Somehow the report of '44% of twitter accounts have never been used' has been morphed by the reporter into '44% of twitter users have never posted'.
I know people with multiple Twitter accounts, separation between business and pleasure accounts... some just to follow others without sticking their nose above the parapet (and are never tweeted from), some for larks, some for business.
44% of Twitter accounts != 44% of Twitter users.
The original poster has read some report on the internet and inferred meaning where none could possibly exist. Shoddy, shoddy journalism.
But Gnome 3 is unusable. It's been unusable since inception, and it still cuts me to pieces when I have a nice fresh install of Linux and it's buggered up by Gnome 3 making it completely unusable.
Microsoft came in for tons of criticism because they removed the Start menu in Windwos 8, and look, two years later, it's back in 8.1.
The Gnome Foundation came in for tons of criticism because they took all the usable bits of Gnome 2 and put them in the bin to produce Gnome 3. And now, five years later, Gnome 3 is still exactly the same.
I think running out of money and going out of business is a position that the Gnome foundation has struggled hard to achieve. But, by gosh, they've done it.
Phew, lucky escape for me there. I live in the UK, where we're completely immune from lawmakers who things the rights of the corporation trump the rights of the individual. Oh, no, hang on. I might have that wrong....
In the 1800's the US Patent office was almost closed because people running it thought just about everything had been invented already.
The problem with non-scientists or anti-scientists is that they don't have any vision, they can't see the big things that -could- be discovered. Lets leave the predictions about what can and cannot be discovered up to the people at the sharp end of science. And the rest of us who do not have closed minds can make our outlandish and wild suggestions and inspire them with great ideas.
People who wouldn't know what a good idea looks like and only want to sell their book should be roundly ignored.
"There are about 10,000 complementary medicine products sold in Australia but most consumers are unaware they are not evaluated by the domestic medicines safety watchdog before they are allowed on the market."
Why on Earth would you ever submit a product to the medicines watchdog when it doesn't contain medicine? You might as well ask them to evaluate the effects of Heinz Tomato Soup as a medicinal recipe. It does bring feelings of well-being and contentment, you know.
... by denying equal access to your website? This is a propaganda move to generate interest, but it's supremely hypocritical, divisive, and reflects the same attitude that is being campaigned against.
In the words of the song... "Fighting for peace? It's like f**king for virginity." This website is limiting equality as a protest against inequality. nice move OKCupid.
The bottom line is that all this propaganda they're using still hasn't enticed me to visit their site to see what all the fuss is about.
Mr Miranda made a fatal mistake in his plans. He should have loaded the stolen GCHQ data files onto an Android and fired them into space in an escape pod. I'm sure he'd have been arrested for that, but it's also likely that someone would try and rescue him.

I love the idea of sending a jpeg by semaphore. Can't see it working for smoke signals, though.
Wow, I'm impressed. Do we now have to drop the old:
insmod
and now use
insrocker
Does this mean my Kernel will be tainted? With Rock and Roll?
...Americans with Really Fat Hands to play golf?
Yes. One-nil to the petty minded...

I think this looks a bit like Mercedes laughing at Tesla...

They'll be wanting us to take the STAIRS next. It's almost like exercise.

It kinda rings a bell... have we heard this before?
Euclid's Shotgun? Is that much like Occam's Razor, or Shrodinger's Cat?

There is only one motive here, and it's financial. The more sick the punters are, the easier it is to extract money from them with snake oil.

No. We aren't resistant to change. We're resistant to unusable desktop environments.
No? Didn't think so... Here's looking forward to Gnome 4. I'll give this one a miss.
What is the point of carrying out a pointless survey if you can't -actually- work the results out afterwards...
