Whicch router is that? I'm in the market to replace my very old WRT54G DD-WRT with something that can take a decent aftermarket firmware (something with per-port bandwidth usage would be sweet, to hunt down those annoying gluts that sometimes happen).
Wireless isn't even a concern. Can you recommend yours?
The false alarms would go through the roof if you have either crappy internet service or a crappy power grid (or, if you're lucky enough to live in SW Florida, BOTH!)
He also willingly let Facebook control its very existence, despite everything it did to Facebook's advertisers (and thus, their bottom line).
No he didn't. The is hosted elsewhere, this was just the fan page. I didn't even know this thing existed until this story (Streisand Effect, anyone).
It's a pretty good, but I have to admit, I'm not sure what the catastrophe is. The fan page that was shut down isn't where it's being distributed from.

In order for *his* conclusion to hold true, it requires that the number of notifications to go down with a corresponding decrease in piracy rate. If the piracy rate has not decreased, then his conclusion is in error, as it only means a lower percentage of offenders are receiving notifications. The only source we have for piracy numbers says that it's still increasing, in spite of 3-strikes laws.
So, based on available information, his conclusion is inconsistent with the data, while the paper's is consistent.

I haven't looked at it in some years, but I suspect that, being a younger project, Chromium's codebase is a lot cleaner and easier to work with than Firefox's.

Yet, Chinese people seem to get the best use out of it, hacking it and taking it over with their hardware.
Normally, I don't bother feeding the partisan trolls, but it's a funny day, so might as well break with tradition for a bit.
You do realize that the reason that Chinese hardware gets to "take over" the internet is because they manufacture it cheaper? Good, old-fashioned, conservative-friendly capitalism.
"High time to stop using paypal" was years ago. They've been famous for this scummy behavior since even before ebay bought them and forced you to use them.
Don't forget every insurance company those employers have ever provided benefits for, any bank you've ever had an account with, and if you've gone to college, they've got it, too -- and, if so, trust me, it's out there now.
In my experience, that's a good way to come home to an HTPC that's not working anymore. Unattended updates scare me.
OTOH, if yum has a way to just fetch the packages and not install them, that might be worth setting up a cronjob for, just to make the attended update that much quicker.
What the author is complaining about is not the wiki, but rather the fact that those projects have no one who is responsible for maintaining the documentation. If no one is responsible for writing the docs and ensuring their completeness, the documentation will inevitably be half-finished, whether they use a wiki or some other mechanism. The wiki is not an alternative to writing documentation, but rather is a tool for creating documentation.
That does seem to be the standard method in which wikis are used for documentation.
I've felt the author's pain, and have learned to share his hatred of wiki-as-docs. Mostly thanks to this Blender tutorial and most of this Minecraft mod API.
Wiki docs seem like the perfect fit for things which are updated frequently, until you start to see that only half the information is accurate anymore, and half of it isn't accurate yet; because, say, you're using an older version since the new one isn't stable/compatible yet (i.e. Blender w/niftools). Unless there's a way to view the historical version of a wiki as a whole, instead of popping through revision after revision trying to guess by date when 1.5.1 became 1.5.2 and finding the info you needed.

Seriously, what do they expect, giving their country a name like that? Of course they're going to piss people off!

Down here, those "issues" you have can be as small as a heavy thunderstorm.

There's a checkbox in the settings to removed the "sponsored" shit they recently started squirting onto walls.
The ad-dump on the right can be removed by clicking the newly added "X"
Doesn't matter, it'll just be yanked out a few months in anyway. ;)
And yes, I typoed your/you're. I am now aware of this.
It's clearly stating some basic facts:
1) XKCD isn't funny.
2) References to XKCD aren't needed here at /., nor anywhere else.

Except that it does address his.

I'm glad she pointed that out, because naively I might have looked at those facts as evidence that the law was a big success!
That would be naive because, for your logic -- rather than hers -- to hold would require the industry to admit a decline in piracy.
Wait, but they're claiming it's increasing. So either they're lying about needing the laws, or they're lying about...uh... needing the laws.

Thanks, but I'll pass.

I think it was more angling towards lampooning MDs than UAW.
Nor was it meant to be. The point was that putting Paypal under the same umbrella wouldn't make them any less scummy.
Yeah, because bank regulation has worked out so well for us in the past decade, it would certainly address Paypal's "scum" factor.
"High time to stop using paypal" was years ago. They've been famous for this scummy behavior since even before ebay bought them and forced you to use them.

As long as none of the jobs, exercise, or hobbies have to do with interacting with other people.
I'd rather support the first hand, since the other hand makes two assumptions that I question the veracity of.
1. It's possible to "do it right the first time." There's always one more bug.
2. That good user interfaces are never replaced with bad ones because the company/team/project took on some "UX" bullshit artist.
