You're one of these people who believe the point of light is the same radius at any arbitrary distance as it is when you shine it on the wall of your mum's basement, right?
Mate is a simple to pronounce, unambiguous word for most people. And if people pronounce it wrong, so what? Correct them, or let it go. If you're talking to someone about about a Linux distro, then from the context people are going to know you're not talking about a drink.
Is there a single word which is unambiguously pronounced around the world? My money's on no. Personally I think they should have called it Mint 17 Ghoti, which is of course pronounced "fish".
Ah yes - the good site with the unfortunate name. (Have they worked out how they're going to let people know about what approach they're going to use for the vote on the new change yet?)
I hope not. The last (LTS) version of KDE Mint gave two errors after every install (one of which contained a typo). You had to disable some akoni-something nonsense or create an empty folder. Seriously. And the initial mandatory mint-update seemed to crash about half the time too.
Mint 17 Mate (released a couple of weeks ago; not sure why it's on the front page today; perhaps there are no Linus videos) "just works".

If it was clear that it had been activated, then it would breach the NSL and the authors would be at risk of legal action. Therefore, you will not see a clear canary warrant.
There was no info in that tweet, and even Mathew Green doesn't know what they were talking about. It was just clickbait to take you to a site with old news.
Windows Vista - 6 years. People hated it. Windows 7 - 2 years. Better than Vista. Windows 8 - 3 years. People hated it. Windows 8.1 - 1 year. People still hated it.
There's no point in going to 7 to 8 as it offers nothing (except for the shitty "metro" thing which nobody wants). People were happy with XP and only grudgingly upgraded to 7; they'd be happy with 7 forever. Stop changing shit for the sake of it; it's getting old now.
Turn that around, and look at the number of deaths on the roads. Once this becomes the norm people are going to say "what?! you let any f**ker just get in a car and drive...unaided...what if they're old and blind or with slow reactions? What if they're off their face on drink/drugs? What if they're going too fast in the fog and there's an accident they can't see?" It's going to be considered pretty hilarious.
But the website says not to trust the previous (7.1a - the proper one) version, and to use 7.2 to decrypt only (stupid, because you can do that with 7.1a). The project will be forked and released by some other people. Do you trust them? Why? Or distrust them? Why? What's your criteria either way? Surely you trust the source code, and the audits thereof.
Depends. If you want a good developer, for example, aptitude is pretty much everything (as long as you can additionally somehow find it within yourself to more or less obey instructions from superiors, and avoid killing your coworkers).
I see your point, although there are other reasons for that behaviour (two sessions in between your two occasions, where files in the outer/only container are added then deleted).
It would be a reason for Truecrypt to be modified to optionally write random data into outer/hidden containers when they are mounted.
The Register always were a bit slow. The new version 7.2 is for decryption only, so you can "migrate to bitlocker". Why would you not use the old version for that?
How would a NSL oblige you to make changes to software? I keep hearing this, but that's not what it's for, plus it can be challenged in court; I'd imagine the ACLU, EFF etc are onto this already.

I like the part where you completely failed to notice that you've essentially just agreed with precisely the point I was making.
You're one of these people who believe the point of light is the same radius at any arbitrary distance as it is when you shine it on the wall of your mum's basement, right?
I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

Whereas commercial software quality is pretty consistent?

He said 25% of Android users are on the older version of the software by mistake - meant to say 17%.
Also, if you look at Android market share, many many people seem to be rather consistently buying Android phones by mistake!

No, it's about guns. Nobody's talking about other 3d printed objects yet.

Allow me to make a small change:
Windows Vista - 6 years. People hated it.
Windows 7 - 2 years. Better than Vista.
Windows 8 - 3 years. People hated it.
Windows 8.1 - 1 year. People still hated it.
There's no point in going to 7 to 8 as it offers nothing (except for the shitty "metro" thing which nobody wants). People were happy with XP and only grudgingly upgraded to 7; they'd be happy with 7 forever. Stop changing shit for the sake of it; it's getting old now.
I want some robots. Can I have $250,000 too?
You see the problem.
Well, no, I think they expect developers will rush to develop apps for "such an obviously soon-to-be-successful platform".
Already there, dude.

You're taking twitter posts too seriously. That's just speculation based on what appeared on their site the other day, followed by:
"Alyssa Rowan @AlyssaRowan
@munin @0xabad1dea @puellavulnerata I can confirm presence of TrueCrypt duress canary as per 2004 conversation"
Sorry, who the fuck are you?

If there's a backdoor I guess we'll discover this when it turns up in a court case.

Do you think 90% of what Google points to/make available/caches is legal everywhere?
