The systemd suite provides features such as faster boot times
I haven't seen any sign of that anywhere and I saw the opposite on a eeepc by about half a minute when I put a newer distro with systemd on it. Is there any proof or are the faster boot times just on the wish list?
It has been significantly faster for me. Anyway the reason is that it can run multiple scripts at the same time which sysv couln't (though upstart did something similar).
And you also likely boot from an SSD, right?
I can boot "soon to be ancient" Windoze 7 on an old Core2 Duo HP laptop in 2GB of RAM to the login GUI in less than 10 seconds from a SSD. Fast enough I would say for a bloated operating system like Windoze.
No, I was mostly refering to my old laptop which has an old spinning disk, and boot time went from a minute to under a half. On my workstation with an SSD, it went from 10 seconds, to well, i guess 2 or 3, practically instantanious.

This really suggests that the Comcast/TWC merger had more to do with empire building (or expanding an effective monopoly) than good business.
Too often, mergers and acquisitions are driven by ego and result in an overall conglomerate that is less efficient.
Mergers are always done as a way to create a bit of chaos and negotiation opportunities so that CEOs and top shareholders can pocket a bit of the wealth they control, but isn't theirs.
I've only just turned 35 so am on the border of being a "millennial", but I thought that phrase referred to people around the 15-25 range who were teenagers around the 2000-2009 time frame. 34 seems a bit old... More like gen X or gen Y.
Generation X. The generation born by babyboomers, usually from 1970 to early 1980s. Teenagers in the late 80s and early 90s.
I think that what was shortly referred to as Gen Y are now millenials (Gen Y were those born too late to be Gen X).
But somebody must have paid secretly. At one point in time this was called bribery and people doing this and got caught were put in jail. Nowadays it seems to be the law of the land... Oh no, the law of the chosen few - chosen by god or something like that.
Nobody Canadian did. The US has been demanding it publically for a long time.
Or have the original architect or construction company forbid me from modifying my own house. Or prevent me from selling said modified house to a new owner.
Word of advise. Never buy an house designed by a known architect. They sometimes have those kinds of conditions. I shit you not. Though it is more common in big business or government offices that signed something stupid when they had their new building designed.
Very little music is created in a vacuum, and the line between 'inspiration' and 'derived work' can be fuzzy and subjective.
So, are you ready to demonstrate, how copyrights have sniffled the development of Jazz, Rock-n-Roll, or Rap, for example?
If not, then your "concerns" about sniffling are nothing but attempts to spread FUD.
It has traditionally been allowed. All of those genres have grown up with being allowed to sample, make covers, and especially make music that sounds like other artists (what do you think genres are in the first place?)
Wikipedia has a mobile verson, just not a website. it's an app.
They have a mobile website. I get it everytime I go there from a mobile device. Rather annoyingly handicapped site at that, but uses the screenspace a lot better than the desktop version.
It's absolutely fucking insane that a business based on calling someone for a ride makes those with political power shit themselves with attempts to shut it down. Absolutely insane.
That is not the problem. The problem is that Uber is organizing crime, and continues to do so after beeing caught and fined once already.That is kind kind of a bad thing.
Yeah, but they have to go to DAB+ not DAB. And Norway being one of the first countries with DAB, started with the old standard which is just MP2 over radio, and doesn't even have error-correction. Plain DAB is plain shit and works nowhere.
But why? It seems counter to business interests. The more people using your hardware, the better, yes? So why try to restrict that in any way whatsoever?
Some of their most expensive hardware is almost identical to their cheapest ones, with the main difference being what the driver allows.
Then lets avoid picking on Scientology and revoke tax exempt status for all churches.
Leaving aside the problems this would likely pose under American law
Taxing donations does not restrict your right to exercise your religion in any way. And tax-exempt charity organizations has the same kind of restrictions as they do in Germany.
They are NOT considering it. They are considering putting it on the books. There is a difference there. French gov already spies on everything that they can.
On their own citizens against their own laws. Then it would make no sense to change the laws.
The citizens vote to elect the two parliament chambers members, representing proportionally the states and the peoples. Then the parliament (all members of the two chambers) vote to appoint the 7 Federal Council members. There can appoint any citizen of the country even it's not a candidate. As strange as it look like, yes this has happened: a citizen without high view on the politic can be boosted up to the highest level in a few hours. The main goal is to form a stable Federal Council with a proportional diversity of the leading parties. Then 7 Federal Council members decide by them self there minister assignation between them.
That is how democracy works. That is no different from any other country in Europe. You still need to get around the problem of selecting a person the parliament can vote on. They can't vote on everybody.

regular citizens and paupers were pretty much the same.
No. A citizen was lower upper class.

Actually, after giving the article another read-through, I think I got it wrong in the summary.
Are you sure you're a Slashdot submitter?
Oh, I see you're new here. Don't worry, after a while you'll stop caring about having anything correct in the summary at all.
If you do manage to get the summary right, you can be sure an editor will fix that mistake.

...read the paper.
it's like he said, you can detect that the network is being used or that there "probably was some user input".
With a bit higher sampling though, you can significantly narrow the likely password range, simply by using the timing of key presses.
But yeah, I want to see something like that demonstrated before worrying about it.

Recently it was made illegal to make music that sounds like other artists: http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
600km/h is 3/4 of the speed of a modern airliner (
No, it's 2/3rds, Boeing 777 cruise speed is 905km/h, 747-400, 787, and A380 are slightly faster, A340 is slightly slower.
Well, depends on whether the airline is in the jet stream or not. Anyway, it is certainly not half, 1200km/h is faster than the speed of sound.
that's $2 TRILLION for NYC to LA if you extrapolate the costs. and it would still be half the speed of your average airliner
Only if the entire distance is a mountain chain and 600km/h is 3/4 of the speed of a modern airliner (not average, any).

You miss the main point. It's easier to monetize on their OS because their OS reports a whole lot more information to them than another OS.
Unless you voluntarily provides them that data by using their special browser.

As always there is an xkcd comic that answers your question in a nice and easy to understand fashion.
I leave it to you to find the relevant link ;p
I am sure in-flight Wi-Fi can be used by pedophiles to watch child porn! And by terrorists to plan terror attacks!!!
OMG!! We must ban it
The old version has the zoom controls where they should be and has less zooming animations and is much clearer to use all respects.
Yeah, the new one is the slashdot beta of google maps. It might be "more modern", but in reality it is just more broken.

IIRC, This has always been the case.
The news is that NVidia's behavior is getting worse.

Also. You are making a strong claim.. Prove it.
Really? Which nation(s) goverment do you think is not doing all that they can to stop terrorists as well as enemy nations?
None, but that has nothing to do with uselessly wasting resources on violating your citizens privacy which is what we are discussing.
