On Sunday or Monday, I shared a "What is happening in Turkey" post, in English, from a Turkish friend's wall to my own. It was shared to "Friends except acquaintances" and got a few likes and comments. This morning I noticed it was gone from my wall. It is not to be found in my activity log, and the notifications of that it had been commented on were also gone.
I was starting to doubt I had posted it at all, when I remembered to check Google Reader (Yep, still running), as I ages ago had set up a RSS feed with my notifications there. There it was, "[Friend's name] likes your link", with a clickable link to facebook.com/my name/posts/ followed by a numerical value. However clicking on it gave this message: "This content is currently unavailable. The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page". Other posts in my RSS feed works fine, so it was just this particular one.
If it wasn't for the RSS feed, I probably would have shrugged it off and thought no more of it, so I guess the RSS feature will be gone soon too.
The problem is that it is not "only supposed to be a document display". Someone gave a pretty good summary on Reddit about a month ago. The conclusion is that Adobe Reader is most likely overkill for 90% of the users, and you should stick to something like SumatraPDF or Foxit.
Aren't desktop firewalls useful in cases where attackers use malicious PDFs/Office documents/browser exploits to run reverse shells? If the exploit tries to connect to evilhost.com:443, how can a server firewall know that the connection is not a legitimate HTTPS connection?
As far as I understand, desktop firewalls would block attempts like these, as long as the connection isn't initiated by a whitelisted program. Of course the exploit payload could include methods to whitelist itself, but I assume there is no one single method to do this, so the payload would have to include custom methods for each of the personal firewall vendors.
Disclaimer: I have no experience with personal firewalls, and if I'm talking out of my ass, please correct me.
I think Sharepoint can do exactly what you are looking for. I haven't seen the "usable interface", though, as the installations I've tried has been quite messy web interfaces, but I'm sure it can be customized to no end.

openSUSE Launches 11.1

Yeah, we will keep coming back to that. From the article I recognized, of course, Banshee, Beagle and F-Spot, but Tasque and Monsoon were new to me. A quick search confirmed both are written in Mono.
A bit further down:
OpenSUSE ships a modified version of OpenOffice.org that bundles Novell's patchset, which includes some nice improvements that Sun has declined to accept upstream for various technical and licensing reasons.
Many of these patches maintained by Novell provide important features that are valuable to Linux users, including support for embedded multimedia via GStreamer, (...) and support for Mono-based automation and scripting.
Mono does not seem to be just means to an end, but an end in itself.
Doesn't your argument assume that all the stores can afford dumping the prices for an equal length of time? This method sounds like a way to get rid of the smallest shops.
Check out the updated list at http://itavisen.no/php/art.php?id=526832 (Results from speed tests done by the readers of IT-Avisen).
"Snitt nedl" is the average download speed, "Antall målt" is the number of testers, "kr/mnd" is what you pay each month in NOK.
I have "Telenor Online ADSL Turbo (16000/700)" ($78,5 USD/month), and download speed peaks between 1.1-1.2 Mb/sec according to Hellanzb). Quite happy about it, zero downtime during the six months I've been using it.
If someone accepts that explanation, I guess they won't protest if I make a comparison to a U.S. citizen selling pornographics material to someone in the Arab Emirates.
Would he be escorted from the U.S. to UAE by FBI agents, or would the Emirati police come to the U.S. to pick him up?
Yep. Brian Peppers was a pet peeve of mine for a long time. Notability was given as an excuse, and pointing out the number of Google hits ment nothing.
If you have Firefox with the Google field in the top right corner, start typing "Bria", see what suggestions you get. But no, you have to understand it should have been in PRINT media.
Yeah. I interpret their "help but not hinder" comment to mean: "Some of our license agreements prevent us from contributing 3D support to open source drivers, we like Nouveau but can't legally contribute to it."
That is nice. I read: "They're doing it by the book, so lawyers will be of no long-term use, and we've been around long enough to understand what kind of publicity that would give us. Besides, Nouveau will not be a useable replacement within the next fifteen years anyway."
As someone else just mentioned, there is always a "tradeoff between security and usability". There are lots of admins (and "admins") that are not given the opportunity to learn these things. If they can explain to their managers why they need to learn it, and they are given time for it, fine, but there still are places where the guy running the web server also is the same guy who has to run around the office helping people select the correct printer in Word and restore deleted shortcuts in Outlook. We really don't get anywhere with an "either you admin or don't" attitude.
There will never be a 100% protection. A good GUI with a wizard, like with SUSE's AppArmor, will help a lot of people from falling between the "naah, it broke something on my webserver, turning it off" and "I'll dedicate the two next months of my life to learn SELinux" chairs.

To quote Bill Hicks: And lo, Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus... with a splinter in his paw. And O, the disciples did run a-shrieking: "What a big fucking lizard, Lord!" But Jesus was unafraid, and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw, and the big lizard became his friend. And Jesus sent him to Scotland where he lived in a loch for O, so many years, inviting thousands of American tourists to bring their fat fucking families and their fat dollar bills. And O, Scotland did praise the Lord: "Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord."

I ended up with gscan2pdf and a rigid directory and filename structure. It works, but yeah, tags would be nice.

I can't tell if they have decided yet, but I wouldn't rule out that this is the preparation of a narrative.
Boston Dynamics' PETMAN could do its own balancing two years ago.
