    Does Yast have a CLI tool as well.

    I really do mean that the best is a GUI that uses a command line tool that edits a text file.

    Windows does have quite a bit of cmd line tools, most dedicated windows admins are afraid of them. Even worse the config itself is kept in the brain damaged registry.

    If this facial recognition software cannot deal with smiles, how is it going to work on other random photos?

    Seems like it would be of pretty limited usefulness.

    I predict the only people who use it will be those who do meetings instead of work.

    The workers will make the document, the non-workers will comment and like or dislike.

    Do you think there is enough gain to justify switching from cvs?

    This is a person who goes to meetings instead of doing productive work. Software used by people who do actual work will not be redesigned this way.

    We do not want productive work from them, just to prevent them from harming others.

    Euthanasia this is not, it is not in the best interest of the patient. This is state sanctioned murder. It costs more than life in prison, it will result in killing innocent people. If you are for the death penalty, you are implicitly accepting the state murdering innocent people.

    I did not say that, I only meant the attack vector is pretty small.

    Scanning/running random code in public is as dumb as running an exe you get in an email.

    My phone has NFC, that shit is turned off.

    That is not what I said at all.
    They avoid charging if they cannot win. If they can win has nothing to do with actual guilt. They do not want to hurt their ratio.

    Why is any sexual contact occurring in prison?

    Those responsible should be charged with rape and confined in solitary so they cannot harm others. The fact that out prisons are also uncivilized is not a good argument for more barbarism.

    I totally agree.

    Ideally there would be a text file, a command line program to make it and and a wizerd/gui that user that command line program to edit that text file.

    We seem to only have the pure text files or the windows brain dead GUI + registry way.

    So why make me guess and not just say that?

    Hell, why not let me edit a text file to change adaptor settings if I want? Text files are easy to backup, easy to script against, easy to work with period. You could even use the silly wizards and dialog boxes while still just writing text files.

    Then it is probably another similar bug, but not the same one. When folks like you add "I have this bug too, but everything else is different!" Then you are just adding more noise to the signal that is the bug report.

    You have a different problem, it might look similar, report a new bug. Supply the requested information.

    Try watching flash with an NVIDIA card. Youtube is blue. NVIDIA blames Adobe who blames NVIDIA.

    There is a ppa with a patch that fixes it, but as typical commercial vendors rather blame anyone else than fix the bugs.

    I honestly though they included that in the sale of the OS.

    Then yes, the user should call Canonical and hand over the CC.

    Either way asking in forums is not proper support and GP should not complain about free support. Beggars not being chosers and all.

    Because the folks that know how to do that don't want wizards. This is a computer not a fucking magic kingdom. I would much rather edit the text file then guess what home network vs business network means in some wizard.

    I imagine that depends on the DA. I have friends that were arrested for it for threatening violence against other folks in public more than a decade before that. In that instance it was the beginning of a bar fight.

    You won't be modded down on modern slashdot but you should be.

    What you are saying is not Insightful nor Interesting. It is blindingly obvious. If users want hand holding, they will have to pay for it like they do with OSX and Windows.

    If it just an expression then the DA will likely decline to press any charges and this guy will be back on the street in 24 hours or less.

    I would suggest you not put your off color comments on billboards though, since that is what posting to a public website basically is.

    Which would be an excellent defense. Having a good defense will not prevent you from being arrested, if it is really good though you might avoid even being charged.

    The DA will decide if they charge him or not, the police are just doing their jobs.
