I don't go out and about without my wallet, so my credit card is always on me. Using an app isn't any more convenient, its less so.
It's not about convenience. It's about security. The apps are far superior from a security perspective. Leave your card locked up at home so no one gets it when they steal your wallet.
First, they are massively overstating Facebooks "power" and even more so Zuckerbergs. They can post the picture on their governments websites if they want to protest. I would recommend against it personally as it looks more like child porn than anything else.
Lastly, Facebooks site, Facebooks rules. They are welcome to ditch the internet ghettos if they want. Bitching that life in the ghetto sucks really accomplishes nothing.
"The association is generally recognized as politically conservative or ultra-conservative, and its publication advocates a range of scientifically discredited theories, including the belief that HIV does not cause AIDS, that being gay reduces life expectancy, that there is a link between abortion and breast"cancer, and that there are links between autism and vaccinations."
Well that explains that.
How about addressing what they said instead of calling them dickheads because you're a liberal and don't like half of your own countrymen?
CS = lot's of theory and little hands on at state schools. Also mit and harvard are more on the theory side and had some outsourcing WTF in the past.
There is the problem. IT != CS. Getting a CS degree to do IT work is like getting your MD and becoming a nurse. Requiring CS degrees for simple IT work has fucking destroyed the industry.
The featured article doesn't appear to state how big the plaintiff's Sony laptop was, but I do know System76 doesn't make anything smaller than 14 inches (source).
There's some very small companies that sell computers with Linux preinstalled such as System76, but their visibility among non-Linux enthusiasts is fairly negligible.
Completely irrelevant to the point of the post. They exist. Buy from them or shut the fuck up and build your own.
Translation: I don't like what science says, so I'll declare them "progressives" and that way I don't have to use my very small neural capacity to try to come up with an actual critique.
Oh look. A progressive calling people that disagree stupid. So...... original.
I had a friend that worked at the office of one of these campuses. She told me that 99% of the time they didn't even have a teacher for the class until the day before it started, let alone lesson plans or anything else. She quit after the second FBI raid and never looked back.
x265 is not very important except for 4K content and mobile phones
I think a 20% overall reduction in bandwidth for an in-demand and still-growing medium is *very* significant no matter what the resolution or device is.
The real number is 34-53%. The 20% is just over VP9. The 34-53% is over their current streaming codec.
>occasionally used by companies that have such complete and utter contempt for the security of their customers
Google is among them. Flash is required for Play Music.
It's one of those things that made my jaw drop when I noticed. You'd think Google would know better!
Google doesn't have a choice. The music labels require the flash DRM to stream music. Google had an HTML5 option in the settings but its been greyed out for about a year because the labels had a hissy fit.
Intel has fucked that division sideways. I just had a meeting with the intel security team, including their CTO and they are totally out of ideas and out of their depths. They have no vision for how to compete with the new companies nipping at their heels and are at least 5 years away from a viable product for the enterprise that isn't signature based.
Anyone that buys McAfee for 3.3 billion is out of their freaking minds.
Oh no! A project was cancelled! Surely it's not because it wasn't viable and only because the company is evil!
If it wasn't viable then they wouldn't be looking to license it to others. It's more likely that they aren't very good at hardware in general and are trying to reign in some divisions that have been spending like drunken sailors.
If anything, you should vote for Trump because he's too stupid
Yes he's become a billionaire and stayed one for 40 years because he's "stupid." You fucking leftists need a new line. Calling everyone you disagree with stupid has worn itself out. You're just a tired fucking meme at this point.
Fine, as long as it works both ways. There are two women on my team who earn more than me with less qualifications and are on my team solely because they are women. Diversity! I should expect a raise right?
Yes and no. I'd argue it's easier to make a desktop distro with Ubuntu as a base,
I dunno. The arch documentation is top notch. That distro is amazing as far as user education goes. Basing on Arch is possibly the smartest thing a distro can do from a documentation standpoint.
Please be sure not to "talk back" while testing this beta operating system!
I thought Canonical stopped listening to user feedback years ago anyway.
They listen, the problem is just that they think they know better. If they really knew better though there wouldn't be so many fucking "spins" on the default distro. You don't see that shit with any other distro, Fedora has one or two, Arch has a couple but I don't think that's apples to apples since Arch is just a base for others to build on.
Pride and arrogance are killing Ubuntu. I have a lot of love for what Ubuntu stood for once upon a time. I just wish they would get back to that and start working with the community again.
i think the federal government is experimenting on the public, they are trying to see just how awful and corrupt a politician can be before people quit voting at elections, Both Clinton and Trump are terrible and i wont bother to vote because they are just too awful
I don't blame you. Personally I'd vote Trump over Hillary any day. That said I really don't need to vote in my state as it's been a red state for over 40 years. I may be tossing my vote to a third party or just staying home. I'm usually a two or three issue guy. I can happily swing between parties depending on where they stand on my issues but lately, the parties seem to fuck you regardless of what they say at campaign time.
One solid thing about Trump though is he does what he says. I can deal with someone like that. Hillary is a wildcard, she'll stab you in the back first chance she gets. On the other hand, the Clinton years in the 90's were the best years of my life. But is Hillary going to be like Bill? Who knows.
We need a new poll. Now that Twitter is just about done, where should I go? I jumped on Twitter years ago as my news "firehouse". Over the years it's morphed - my feed that is - into a pretty narrow view of the world. Time to move on because this isn't healthy!
There's a new company in beta trying to replace twitter https://gab.ai/ haven't used it so far but they've committed themselves to free speech. That said, they are a Russian outfit so take it with a grain of salt.
Slashdot Mirror
Clearly these companies haven't been paying attention. They could have just blamed the Russians and all would be fine.
So it must be true!

They're planning to make it up with the insane $160 proprietary wireless earbuds.
If by proprietary you mean Bluetooth 4.2 then sure......................
You're right -- we don't have enough wisdom and knowledge yet. Wisdom, the ability to make good choices, comes from experience.
Experience, of course, comes from making bad choices.
Experience comes from making choices, not just bad ones. Wisdom comes from learning not just from your mistakes but the mistakes of others.
System76
They exist. Buy from them
