Every time I get excited about a really nice game on my tablet or phone, I start wishing it was on a bigger screen with a real controller instead. There are very few exceptions. Sure, that doesn't eliminate something like an Android-powered set-top device but the games aren't usually made to work well in that configuration.
You know using E-mail *is* Internet traffic, so its redundant right? I was just being funny with that point (I most certainly do send E-mail while on the phone though).
Mere Christianity by C.S.Lewis (whether you are one or not), it will open your mind. See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War Against Terrorism by Richard Baer for the same reason. State of Fear by Michael Crichton, because its almost as much fun as Jurassic Park. Fairy Tales Every Child Should Know, Hamilton Wright Mabie, because there's great wisdom in old stories.
I don't see anything about the article that claims to be science and technology. Its waving the US flag in the corner of the summary and therefore is about things in or by the US. Notably, this site is "News for Nerds" not "science and math only."
Actually, Android comes to mind. Each application is locked in its own little world (except apps from the same developer) and can only talk to other apps via API calls they've previously agreed on or published.
A lot of people believe people are inherently good and need a book to tell them to do wrong. A lot of other people believe people are inherently bad and need a book to tell them to do good.
How do you teach about white people enslaving black people without mentioning their races? I know you can get all allegorical but that's completely unnecessary; history is history and people need to learn to deal with it.
If you can't figure out the difference for yourself, you have issues.
I know my ancestors were assholes... some of them killed off natives, some of them enslaved people, some of them might have even eaten baby seals for all I know. That doesn't make them me, and the only person who needs to realize that is me.
That was essentially my point -- in cases where all of a sudden your processing realizes the data makes no sense at all, stop trying to parse it, you're going to end up doing more damage (and possibly create an attack vector). This is one of many reasons I still subscribe to the Unix-style "many small specific programs" concept. Let the piece that failed core dump, and with it the data that caused the error and let everything else move on if necessary.
People leave Linux every day. Its not like we have 80% market share or anything. I know at least five people who tried and gave up on Linux this year alone. Its sad, but their own reasons were all perfectly valid.
The one constant in Linux promotion and usage is sysadmins. Angering that population is very bad PR, whether you think PR is worth anything or not.
I shouldn't need to read half as many words as I do to understand systemd and how it works. Let me give you a counter-example:
Using daemontools, each service has a directory in an arbitrary location that is symlinked to/service. Any directory with a symlink in/service will have its "run" script executed on startup if it exists. That script's output will be piped to the run script in the subdirectory log. If the run script exits, it will restart again in two seconds. To prevent automatic startup, create a file named "down" in that service's directory. Each service executed in this way is forked securely in its own memory space.
That's it.
Added functionality is provided by additional software meant to be called from within said run scripts, such as softlimit to impose memory or fd limits on processes, tcpserver to launch a program for each incoming connection (much like inetd) and envdir to create environment variables based on the contents of files in a directory. All of these things are optional and so configuring a new service without a reference manual is possible in just a minute or two.
Feel free to update me when a fully functional systemd script can be explained that simply.
When did he do this? Feel free to actually back a statement like that up with facts? If you mean Russia, there's no data to suggest he's sided with them at all.

Nobody? Like the two million people who bought either a PS4 or XBone on day one?

And we also have a huge rise in depression and mental instability in general. Those would be called spiritual malaise to someone of his era.
Your statement contained no logic itself; only suppositions.
Despite your comment intending to be funny, I frequently use the Internet and generate E-mail while talking on the phone ...

Its possible you completely missed the story for the words.
Notably, if he'd stop surfing anonymously, Slashdot has a feature to hide articles of types that you don't find interesting.
Agreed. Been here a while myself.

Its actually quite a nice model.
... and is always API and binary compatible with all the existing software out there ;-)

Neither has been proven; spread salt liberally.
That's FUD every time its said. Feel free to find actual facts to back it up (good luck).
I'm pretty sure if I made a guess, nation-building and racism have caused a lot more wars and death, as have fear and paranoia toward the unknown.
Its kinda sad when people actually believe random quotes on the Internet like that without doing the work to check it out.

Its unnecessary. See AC response.
When exactly will that bit be flipped by the stray subatomic particle hitting your PC from the sun?
Some bugs really are random.
Data corruption in my books should be handled by ending execution cleanly so as to not cause further problems.

Lets just leave it at there's a reason people have had to write things like this:

ps avx; /var/log/*, ipcs and netstat -apn are all much cleaner.
