There is no evidence whatever that LXQt is getting any traction. The project labored mightily, churned out a pre-release, and ground to a stalemate. In the process it killed Razor Qt. Meanwhile the main LXDE site barely mentions it at all and there is no indication that LXQr will ever supplant it.
It would be unkind to say that LXQt is lightweight in more ways than one. But would it be wrong? I would love to be found to be mistaken, but don't expect to be.
I am hoping Lumina Desktop will be the serious contender, but the word is hope, not expect.
It is a shame that Qt, which is so vastly superior to GTK, still has no noticeable presence on the desktop aside from KDE, which many find to be grossly overblown and under delivering with the basics.
I know no such thing, and neither do you. It is of course a truism that excessive regulation is injurious to free enterprise, but that has absolutely zip to do with monopolistic monstrosities like Comcast.You could also make a good point that the government setting up those monopolies is abjectly failing in its duty to the people. But you haven't.
... a subsidy for No-cost/low cost broadband for low income families. The tax will be a lovely penalty for those who can provide for themselves.
There is no indication whatever of that in TFA, but suppose it is put in place. What a tragedy! Like those nasty soup kitchens and putting up the homeless where they won't freeze to death. Let them die, and while we're at it let's make sure they are without internet as they are dying.
Is anyone happy with the government these days? No matter the administration, all they seem to do is screw stuff up, make a mess, and start a shouting match about how it's "the other guy's fault". Every single time.
So with that kind of a track record, why the hell would someone support the government having more control over the Internet here in the US? Come on guys, don't fall for their bullcrap anymore, at least on this site we should be smarter than that.
Yeah, who needs it? Look how well it worked out for Somalia when their government disintegrated and they were freed from that yoke. Lebanon in the 80s and Kosovo in the 90s were such shining examples, too. And it was so much better in the USA before the Civil Rights Act and the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and the creation of the FTC.
You're right. Comcast is so much better at controlling the internet than the government would be.
You may be correct in your generalization, but what is gained by trotting this out when the gentleman has proposed regulating a specific something which badly needs regulation?
While the 11th Novemeber is remembrance day here in Canada you might want to remember that since it is to commemorate the end of the First World War it is also an important date for the entire Commonwealth [wikipedia.org] and even the US has Veteran's Day [wikipedia.org].
November 11 is (WW1) Armistice Day, that's what it is. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. All this crap about changing the name and pretending that it is for honoring the sacrifice of all veterans of all wars is just that, crap. If, that is, you actually care about history.
Not that I don't grasp the point. You can't go marking the end of every war as a holiday. Before you know it, every day would be a holiday. And a lot of them were not won. It would be a painful reminder of all the sacrifices that were in vain.
But those people who make it their business to know history can honor veterans every day instead of pouring it all out on a single symbolic day and quickly getting back to "real life".
A place with no extradition treaty beholdening it to the USA, for one thing. The list lacking such is pretty imposing:
Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Armedia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bhutan, Bosnia, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Croatia, Djibouti, Dubai, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Herzegovina, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Maldives, Mali, Marshall Islands, Mauretania, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Niger, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Samoa, São Tomé, & Principe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, UAR, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican, Vietnam, Western Sahara and Yemen. [*]
A quick perusal of that list will serve to suggest other consideration than simple absence of an extradition treaty. Countries can be beholden for other reasons; simple bullying being the most obvious.
Of all those places, the only ones which suggest, in a crunch, having the balls and the capacity to tell the US to fuck off are Russia and China. I doubt you can rely on simple obscurity to block the minions of US power projection.

A pleasant surprise for me was to discover that useradd now allows to create a group for the user at the same time (I am not 100% sure whether is really new to 13.2). It has always been a nuisance having to manually perform the group creation.
Useradd has a pretty hostile interface, but it has "always" AFAIK had the required capability.
If you use "useradd -g joe joe", then group "joe" must already exist. Crap.
But if you use "useradd -U joe", or you just use "useradd joe" AND if USERGROUPS_ENAB=yes in/etc/login.defs, then a group will be created with the same name as the user, and that group will be set as the user's primary group.
"Of course" it's more complicated than that; a number of config files and switches are involved in the exact behavior, but if the distro sets up the default config "correctly", then the group-per-user "just works".
Are any of the Marine Imaging Systems deep submergence electronic still cameras (circa mid 1980s) still in operation? With or without the original Heurikon based topsides?

Try this, leave your home and car unlocked so that others can have free access to your stuff. Your stuff wants to be free, let it go.
Do you have any conception whatsoever of how lame that rhetoric is? I'd like to think you do, and that it is just cynical misdirection, but I have my doubts. I think possibly you are so brainwashed or you have an axe to grind in terms of personal livelihood that you really don't have any conception of the issues.
Anyway, I'll spell it out. Your parallel is blatantly false. If you take stuff out of my car and home and into yours or somebody else's, you deprive me of the use of my property. You can't readily "copy" my car or my car radio or living room sofa in a magic replicator, while still leaving me the original. If you could do that, more power to you. Of course I wouldn't mind in the least. Some day, when the Star Trek universe becomes reality, such replication might become possible.
Copying movies and songs does not involve any theft. Nobody loses access to the movie or the song. Only somebody else now enjoys the same access, and has in no way inconvenienced anyone thereby. Yes, the guys with the thoroughly obsolete business model will be annoyed at its disruption. But they should be annoyed at reality, the harsh undeniable universe, and the march of progress, not people whose only sin is that they actually understand reality and progress. I don't get my kicks from seeing people facing a hardship making their livelihood because of progress, but I am in contempt of the viewpoint that they are entitled.
You can make a stand against the electrophotographic copier, digital computing and copying equipment, and communications infrastructure like the internet. I prefer to use them and marvel at the benefits they provide.

Facebook should fuck off and die yesterday. Facebook is for retards.
[*] When I say "pretty much", I mean not because it is a telephone per se, but because most cellphones are much more than telephones, and marketed as much more than telephones.

It is way too much of a power hog.
Ah shit, too late, WaPo. I've already read it. In fact, hate to spoil your day, but the entire text has just been "copied" to millions of computers. Every single person who loaded this page now has a copy of it in their internet cache.
It sucks to be stuck in yesteryear when you had to copy stuff in longhand. Go stick your finger in a dike and try to stop technology. Mr. Lazic, you dumb shit, meet Ms. Streisand.
Actually if you are (un?) lucky enough to live long enough, the most dangerous things you can do is stand up out of bed, and descend stairs, because that's how an awful lot of elderly fall and break their hips. And after a certain age breaking your hip is a death sentence, either slow or not so slow.
what's the big deal whether something is in base or ports? it's the same team that maintains things.
If you say it's the same team that works on bases system and ports, then I don't have the knowledge to take issue with that. I would not have guessed so, though.
At any rate, OpenBSD has this to say: "The ports & packages collection does NOT go through the thorough security audit that OpenBSD follows. Although we strive to keep the quality of the packages collection high, we just do not have enough human resources to ensure the same level of robustness and security."
Has our AC determined whether Kerberos is in OpenBSD ports? I am reading "Kerberos has been removed from the base system. Kerberos support will be available via a package."
Removed sendmail ... smtpd is the MTA

OpenBSD 5.6 Released
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Just about EVERY SMTP MTA is named "smtpd". Sendmail's is, but so it Postfix', and so is OpenSMTPD's.
In case anyone wants to know, OpenSMTPD replaces sendmail as the default MTA in OpenBSD 5.6. Now how hard was that, to actually state a piece of useful information instead of a nonsense phrase conveying nothing?
Slashdot Mirror
FreeBSD 1.0 was released November 2 1993. The 21st anniversary was just a few days ago.
I herd it was a hole heard full of wholes.
The list of parameters that are closely correlated with failure is pretty bloody obvious.
I could never imagine why it is even POSSIBLE to disable it. If you don't want to read it, just freakin don't read it.

Why do anything at all to mitigate rich pricks accumulating all the resources? What could be wrong with the fact that the world's 85 richest individuals now have as much money as the 3.5 billion poorest people put together?
