So how has Amazon hurt trump in teh past? I have heard mention that it hurts him by de-valuing brick-and-mortar retail space that he is heavily invested in.
Fact: Moderation allows posts to be suppressed based on their content. This is censorship. Moderation is censorship, no matter how much the pro-censorship isers here deny it.
Moderation is censorship and should be abolished.
Until Slashdot is owned by the government, they can censor anything they please.
"According to Nate Warfield of the Microsoft Security Response Center, there are still plenty of vulnerable Windows systems exposing their SMB service available online."
Phones need to ship with multiple passwords that store multiple environments.
Some of these can be "duress" passwords that open the "duress" environment and wipe the content of all others.
Example:
Password 123ILoveAmerica opens enivornment 1, the main environment. This is your normal everyday work environment.
Password 456GoTeamGo opens environment 2, a "show me your papers" environment that looks "normal."
Password 678TeamAmerica is the duress password, it opens environment 2 and destroys environment 1.
How to set up a way to manage environments and having a way to make the police officer think you gave him the password to open up the "manage environments" tool is something that will need to be worked out.
I'm surprised this has not already been implemented, but . . . .
If it is a readily available consumer "product", a threat to kill someone or their family to NOT give the duress password seems likely.
"I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/g...) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation). "
"I usually use a string between two tin cans, for offline web browsing, but the cans are hand-forged in public forges according to freely available schematics and the string is assembled my me from the lint from my clothes dryer." -- Sound like Stallman.
As part of my work I write various network standards, having anything but basic security requirements inserted into any network standard is fought tooth and nail by CISCO certification team. They oppose anything that would result in additional development time and try to insert poison pills through public review to undercut competition. They are largely successful, as such we have hard-to-secure infrastructure with insecure-by-design protocols and standard implementations.
As well, the US intelligence community wants the lack of good security so that they can exploit them to obtain intelligence. We pay an escalating cost for their ease of access.
Comey and other law enforcement types lacks perspective on this issue. They want an easy way to do their job at the expense of a fundamental right of the people who pay his salary. Police and detective work is made hard by our Constitution and laws, as it should be. Law-abiding citizens should not be treated like criminals to make life easier for people like Comey.
Linux itself is quite meaningless. Tacking on a version number doesn't change much.
Give me a proper Windows system any day.
The problem there is that a Windows system that is secure and stable is difficult to find. Soon , the windows OS itself will be a subscription product, locking you in to a new version of the walled garden.
KDE 3 seemed somewhat exciting and I haven't used either for long so I shouldn't really comment but.. I guess I wouldn't have much reason to be excited.
I really liked KDE1, 2 and 3. I bailed on KDE4 and went to LXDE. That does what I want, gives me what I need and doesn't mess with me.
Slashdot Mirror
Or at least some karma at work.

If they like "Red Hat/Fedora done better", they will also like Mageia. It's progenitor was Mandrake, a "red Hat done better" distro.

This is one of those pointless topics. like Mac versus PC.

That's a Windows feature, right?
I'd rather just not use Linux.
Because Windows is malware done right?
It's the *best* platform for malware.
so . . Ubuntu is becoming more and more like Microsoft Windows?
Good to know . . .
Well played, North Korea. Well played . . .

Best Pluto joke IMHO
They should name the animal guide "Clippy".
The people of Puerto Rico have been led by corrupt and useless leaders.

He doesn't score points with language like this.

If only security had gotten more that a passing nod from the manufacturers of that equipment, we would not be having this problem.

Slashdot sure has gone downhill since the corporate overlords came on board. Where are Cowboy Neal and Cmdr Taco when we need them?

Can it play DOOM?
It's a feature of Windows, not a bug.
