I'm not sure the diminishing amounts of safety gained by these kinds of gimmicks is worth the massive distraction factor they cause. The solution isn't to enable people who can't be bothered to drive properly. The solution is to get distracted drivers off the road.
The fact the above post got a +5 actually suggests that foreign propaganda has had a negative effect on our culture. Communism, socialism and other isms are examples of slavery by those running the state. The only difference is in the details and justifications for the enslavement. History has shown this. It's only been 20 years since the supposed end of the cold war. Have we forgotten these lessons so soon? I'm sure this post will be downmodded, further suggesting damage done by propaganda. The USA in proper stead would defend the individual liberty of its citizens instead of mounting a terror campaign of its own, domestically and abroad, but the country's been led astray.
All that will do is saddle the world economy (and civil rights) with even greater bureaucracy and create black markets along the way. I guess you're a fan of lets-all-be-poor-and-miserable-equally?
Well muffington boast is a leftist feminist rag, so it's going to weave the oppression olympics narrative into everything. They're right up there with bill oreilly in bullshit factor.
I'm fairly sure an NSL can compel them to break future updates of hardware and software so that a wiretap is workable, and the gag order will prevent them from telling anyone about the new compromise.
If the FBI really wants access, they could get an NSL issued, forcing apple to comply by compromising their own system..and they couldn't tell their customers about it.
Until this is fixed, there's no way in hell I will believe any grandstanding on the part of any vendor.
I've been running linux since 1997, but not exclusively. I do need (and want) software that really only works well on windows. Balancing ideals and pragmatics is a fact of life.
Your options are limited if you can't trust the network stack in the OS to do your bidding. One relatively safe way might be to block direct connectivity at the router and set up a secure proxy on the lan for use by non-microsoft browsers and anything else that needs connectivity. Windows won't have direct net access but firefox will work fine. Of course, this would require the rest of your networked software to support the secure proxy as well (most games don't for instance).
Otherwise, the dns and ip blocks could be defeated at any time with new updates regardless if done in etc/hosts or on the router.
Windows 10 does not rectify those mistakes. Yeah they brought back a half usable start menu but that's about it.. Now, instead of the single confusing control panel they brought out for vista (which in turn replaced the more usable xp panel), the user must now navigate back and forth between two to get things configured..and the new one is half broken (monitor management for ex). Microsoft seems dead set against giving people the configurability they want (window metric configuration for ex) in a sane, consistent manner.
Gnome 3 is terrible and the project shows the same kind of willful ignorance of what users want that microsoft does. Of course, this didnt' start with 3, they've had this minimalism ad reductum attitude for a long time, cutting configurability from 2. This attitude also shows in other OSS projects, another big one being systemd.
OSX suffered from 'ios'ification with the release of 10.7, along with the isuite. Final cut X was dumbed down, too, and dubbed 'imovie pro' by users, and from what I saw, the name was justified.
Sure it does. The finder has been dumbed down substantially since the initial releases.. It probably peaked around 10.5 or 10.6, then they started 'ios'ing the system.
Bikes are illegal on interstates, and most state roads do not have passing lanes. Do yourself and motorists a favor, take up only what space you need. Hogging the whole lane to do 12-15mph just irritates the hell out of people and causes them to do stupid things, esp if there's no 'legal' way to pass. This especially holds true in blind spots. You cannot assume they see you.
They do, but physical reality trumps lawyer driven law every time. As a rider, I stay to the side and always operate with the assumption that the cars can't see me. This is probably the most important safety tip. Riders who think they're on equal footing with cars are foolish idiots.
The real issue with UI lately is the 'mobilization' of the desktop, to its detriment. Windows, osx, and linux all suffer from it now. At least the latter allows the user to run alternatives.

Why is it crummy? Not app'd enough for you?
Sure, since the term was originally coined by a socialist to describe his strawman argument about free society.
Just checked menuconfig in trunk. strace is a buildable package, so theoretically, yes.
It uses a simple sysv style init.

No, all your post suggests is that Europeans are subjected to their own governments' propaganda..
Considering how unreliable ACPI and friends are, regardless of OS, you should be saving regularly.
Great.. yet another funnymoney currency even more abusable than the fiat currencies of today.

So is everyone else.

Well, the EFF is only reporting what the government official 'said' was true.

Until the law is changed, providers cannot be trusted as they can be compromised with an NSL.

Tell that to the maquis..
There's that, but, for the moment anyway, I've been able to avoid depending on here-today-changed/gone-tomorrow web sites for critical workflows.
