Not sure where you're seeing beer bottles made of ceramic, whatver. I'm not concerned with that, or even sharp glass. Someone's got a knife; someone else will take it off them. I'm probably safe. A fire/explosion in the cargo hold; that's bad news for everyone. This restriction makes sense. If you need to smoke then sort it out when you land, or don't travel.
Isn't that what killed Steve Jobs? He chose 'magical thinking' (literally making up fairy stories) instead of getting medical treatment. What a prize chump.
I think you've perhaps read The Psychopath Test or something and decided from that that because a lot of people have children who are incorrectly diagnosed autistic, that it therefore follows that no children are autistic. If so than you are incorrect, because there are perfectly meaning, consistent and useful tests for autism which can help prevent a child from being treated like a bad person, or retarded, or whatever.
You sound like you believe you're very intelligent, though, so you probably won't stop and think about this.

I think he's too busy developing to worry about slashdot whiners.
I'm hardly a linux fanboy, but I use it, and, like other genuine fanboys and other developers I couldn't care less when enough other computer users use linux such that a pointless post can appear on a pointless blog declaring that `finally it's the year of linux on the desktop`.
The phone has a file structure because it's linux, and linux has a file structure. Android could, if it chose, hide that, but it doesn't, so I don't want to pretend it's hidden. It's great that a lot of users can get by without having to know it's there, but I can't imagine not using a proper file explorer.
i want to download stuff on my phone (4g is faster than my broadband) then copy it onto my pc when i'm home. i want to copy video off my network onto my tablet. i want to copy music off my network onto my phone (but only into folders which my mp3 player is monitoring, so it's all in one place). i want to copy android roms onto my sd card from the net/my network. i want to copy files (notifications/ringtones/app config files) between my devices and my cloud account.
I cannot do any of this without a file explorer. I don't want to abstract it away and have no control over where stuff goes; i want it to go exactly where i want it.
It always has. I don't use the service much but I'd love a way to turn it off. For all their clever AI, google consistently gets my location wrong, and I'll never want to read the local papers, online or otherwise, because, like all local papers, they're just shitty rags thrown together by a skeleton staff, and consisting mostly of ads by estate agents.
If that's a problem, do different releases for different regions. No point doing a smaller iso if the first thing it's going to do is grab another 2 gigs online, so leave most people with the normal (full sized) install and people for whom usb keys, bandwidth, disk space etc is a problem can use one of the cut down versions.
If they block it millions of people will go "huh? whatsapp isn't working"; facebook will say "government did it" and people will get upset. Threaten/sue facebook but keep whatsapp going and no-one will know; very few will give a shit.
I remember that sort of thing from years ago. Sort of made sense on slow, expensive dialup, when you had to limit leechers as they'd be on for hours grabbing one cd, but now we have unlimited 20-80meg broadband who gives a fuck?
It was like Slashdot; a mixture of interesting stuff and total shit. In the end the balance shifted too far in the wrong direction. But I'll always remember it as the place I first heard about the 9/11 attacks.
Well, those theft detector things are odd. I've rarely seen anyone challenged when they've walked out and it's gone off; probably because of the large number of times the staff has forgotten to hunt for every last device secreted on an item of clothing. Also, in the uk at least, they can't force anyone to open their bags and show that they've not stolen anything; all they can do is arrest you and force you back into the shop and if they then discover you've not taken anything you can sue them for wrongful arrest and unlawful imprisonment.
Still, flashing lights and loud noises - nice bit of theatre.
Ubuntu is the most popular desktop distro. And it's not just the OP who wants SSH, which is why the other, popular (goodbye windows) OSes all support it.
I literally clicked on the headline to read that, or your comment. Either shills or more stupid than usual windows devs deluding themselves that any day now daily windows mobile sales will go into double figures and there'll be a second, iOS-style gold rush for their shitty "done in a weekend" apps.
When someone in New Zealand creates the most popular desktop Linux distro they can release it first there. Until then, wait until the Americans wake up, k?
Slashdot Mirror
So why wasn't he told not to possess a police badge as part of his sentence? Why mention his study if it had nothing to do with it?
Really, it's laughable to suggest it's anything other than that.

Last time I looked it wasn't possible to get a Chromebook ISO so I could check it out in a VM. Has anyone had more luck than me?
Possibly avoid tech sites during the 3 days a year Google holds a conference to announce new stuff?

Why would they ignore him? It's a big important story around the world. Should they ignore the others too? What would be the criteria?

That's not what literally means any longer, though.
There's no way of showing that the money people have spent on PB is necessarily instead of - as opposed to as well as - buying a product.

I'd imagine that step occurs after the information is encrypted.
What information? If you use Firefox, Google apps/Gmail or other non Microsoft apps, what information are Microsoft going to obtain exactly?
Ubuntu is the most popular desktop distro. And it's not just the OP who wants SSH, which is why the other, popular (goodbye windows) OSes all support it.
Even apple and Google can't afford to pay the billions of users they share. People just like using them, and developers satisfy them.

Heh, yeah I loved the irony of that one too!
