It is still very valid. They are in the middle of grafting the old interface onto the 'modernUI'. Why they considered the half assed completion of this as 'release ready' is beyond me. The modernUI replacements (start menu, control panels, utilities) are still inferior to the originals. The modernUI doesn't work as well for desktop (eg: start menu, multi-display management, calculator) and takes ridiculous amounts of screen real estate. The changes from xp to vista/7 were bad enough, but this is worse.
A new operating system release or major update is 'news for nerds' even if it's for one they loath. Microsoft topics have been staples of slashdot since the 90s.
Name a kernel that isn't buggy...and yes that is precisely what Bitlocker, dmcrypt, truecrypt were meant to do. They don't protect data while the volume is mounted. They provide access. The real question is whether bitlocker (and possibly the others) is backdoored, perhaps through broken crypto or clandestine duplication of keys.
It's a shitty interpretation. Constitutional rights belong to citizens, not the turf. If the person is a US citizen, the US government is required to respect his rights whether he's on US soil or not.
Aye, that's the rub.. 'dictatorship' is right. People tend to overthrow these because they treat individuals as 'wear parts' to be discarded if they show individuality of any kind. The only thing 'revolutionary' about them is when they're overthrown.
Would be difficult to construct a workable filter that isn't also open to corruption. It might be better to have auto-sunset clauses on all legislation. The good laws get voted back in.. The impulsive/bad/unpopular ones die. Mandatory term limits for all positions would help too.
Agreed. They keep fucking about with it and making it worse in the process. More clicks, more pointless windows to dig through, pointless flash in the GUI that takes up more desktop space, and removal of useful features and customization ability are common themes in each new release.

It may be buggy, but really you shouldn't be using your phone for financial transactions.
Agreed. The fact they've gotten this far at all impresses me. Reverse engineering something like windows is a gargantuan effort.

Wine isn't an emulator. It is an api wrapper. It does not virtualize hardware.
Nope. They'd rather keep it to themselves and use it.
Except that he's actually correct.

Really, the solution is political. TSA needs to be cleaned up and reformed, and the politicians who passed the relevant laws voted out.

Both are iron fists.. hillary's just has a felt cloth around hers.
Yes.. they also use those edicts to violate human rights on a regular basis.

Neither party supports small government or individual liberty.
I'd rather not return to blaming sons for the sins of the father (or vice versa).

Who would download anything from softpedia, esp open source? Why not get from mesa3d.org?

Don't forget the arbitrary and obscure references.. why is the file manager called dolphin?

Not if the state is willing to sell favor. Then it becomes the head of the protection racket.
Time to get a different isp...or move if you can't.
