Apps are chrooted into their own directory structure, so they can't share data. But, yeah, this is people surprised to get what they should have expected.
For those that don't know, trepanation is a medical procedure (of dubious value) where a hole is drilled in the skull to relieve pressure, although in this case, someone may have defecated in the opening instead. It's not clear if this is an insult (implying "shit for brains", so to speak), if the poster is concerned about illegal, unlicensed, and unsanitary medical procedures taking place, or if the poster is seeking someone to perform this procedure.
I currently use cox for internet only. I previously used Adelphia (now comcast?), again internet only. Actually, a year or so after I signed up, they called me up and told me that they had accidentally the tv service as well and offered a discount to continue it. I didn't have a tv.
President-elect Barack Obama's Transition today launched "Open for Questions," a Digg-style feature allowing citizens to submit questions, and to vote on one another's questions, bringing favored inquiries to the top of the list.
It was suggested when it launched that the tool would bring uncomfortable questions to the fore, but the results so far are the opposite: Obama's supporters appear to be using -- and abusing -- a tool allowing them to "flag" questions as "inappropriate" to remove all questions mentioning Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich from the main pages of Obama's website.
The Blagojevich questions -- many of them polite and reasonable -- can be found only by searching words in them, like "Blagojevich," which produces 35 questions missing from the main page of the site.
"Given the current corruption charges involving Blagojevich, will 'serious' campaign finance reform that takes money completely out of politics through publicly funded elections be a priority in the first term?" asked Metteyya of Santa Cruz, California.
"This submission was removed because people believe it is inappropriate," reads the text underneath it. Also removed as "inappropriate":
"In light of the recent corruption scandals (Blagojevich, Rangel, Jefferson, Stevens, etc) that have dominated the political scene,is there any ethics legislation being crafted to actually curb corruption and prevent another wave of nixonian cynicism?", a question from "lupercal," of Gainesville.
And: "Is Barack Obama aware of any communications in the last six weeks between Rod Blagojevich or anyone representing Rod Blagojevich and any of Obama's top aides?", a question from Phil from Pennsylvania.
Declaring a question "inappropriate" is different from merely voting it down; it's calling foul on a question, not just disapproving of it.
Community reporting systems like this are often vulnerable to abuse from committed partisans -- YouTube has wrestled with a parallel problem -- and the only solution is conscious efforts to remedy it.
So far, Obama's team does not seem to have stepped in to allow uncomfortable questions to rise to the top, and instead is allowing his supporters to sanitize the site.
time machine isn't just finder. Applications can support it too. If you open time machine while running Address Book, you can browse and restore previous contact information.
That's quite a feat! You shove a gerbil up your ass and pull out numbers. You should sell that trick to David Blaine for his next tv special (where he'll starve himself of publicity for a full week).
Citation? Check intel's processor erratum. Or ask Linux or the BSD guys about it (I'd guess there are at least half a dozen slashdot stories about intel/AMD not providing adequate details on their latest processor bugs). Or you could just f00f yourself.

why is someone's "first go" at FPGA programming "news for nerds" (stuff that matters) unless it's shit-your-pants awesome?
Gmail is only free if you don't care what google (and their CIA/FBI/government overlords) knows about you.
If Linux, some sort of cron job running a Python script that copies /home to an external hard drive.
why a python script?
based on marketing? Don't forget the slave workers and monopoly abuse.

I think he was referring to a bitchslap script to punish anyone whom the editors disagree with.

Why not pair up a zfs send with a zfs receive to make an external backup? Then mount the external backup snapshot as needed?
