Frequently that is exactly what slashdotters are prone to doing. Slashdot has turned too much into an echo chamber. And posts that go against the hive mind quickly get buried under commenters complaining that it was posted in the first place. "Stuff that matters, durh durh."
Reduce the amount of moderation here to next to nothing.
If you want intelligent discussion, you need some form of moderation. Posts that are uninformed, off topic, spam, or just plain trolling can easily derail a discussion. Moderation needs a light touch, but it's still invaluable.
I use the chip at trader joes. It does seem like most of the time I'm just swiping the card. Of course people are resistant to change and are going to complain. Most of them will get used to it.
I just wonder how much this will actually help with reducing fraud. EMV prevents the card it self from being cloned. How does it prevent someone for hacking the store and using the information to purchase something online?
The whole point of full disk encryption is to protect against someone who has physical access to the disk. In case it gets stolen, thrown in the trash, or sold. It does nothing against remote attacks.
Now my understanding is that the advantage self-encrypting disks is that you don't have the overhead incurred by software encryption.
I think the prosecution in this case could request an upward departure from the sentencing guidelines because the pending charges mean that his criminal record inadequately shows the seriousness of his past behavior. What I'm saying is that there are rules and formulas that the judge is supposed to follow.
There are federal sentencing guidelines. There are criteria for things like past offenses, cooperation with the investigation, among other things. The judge is not bound to strictly follow them, but if the judge just hands out maximum sentences with little explanation, that could be grounds for an appellate court to reduce the sentence. Also, I am not a lawyer either.
When I was using a feature phone like a nokia 6555, the mobile version was a nice thing to have. But has anyone actually used a feature phone in the last 5 years? Most people either want a basic "dumb" phone, or a smart phone, with little demand in between the 2.
No need to dumster dive. There are plenty of OSes that support i686 cpus. DragonFly targets high end amd64 servers. Not every OS needs to target everyone.
Firefox has had the ask-to-activate for flash for some time. Go to about:addons, select plugins from the menu on the left, and next to each plugins there is a menu where you can select ask to activate.
If he was to run a drug ring from one of those countries, extradition is a moot point as he could simply be prosecuted by local courts. Best to find a place where the officals are easy to bribe.
Staph in your nose is unlikely to cause harm. Commensal infections of staph are very common. If it finds a way to get deeper inside your body, say through a cut, then you have a problem. If it's a resistant strain, then the antibiotics won't help you.
A bit too late to convict anyone at this point don't you say?
There are problems with many of the forensic methods used. However, eyewitness testimony is even less reliable. The way humans recall events from episodic memory is seriously flawed. Forensic evidence is always circumstantial evidence, and should always be treated as such. That's in addition to any flaws on a particular method.
As pointed out here, this man was suspected of being the ripper before there was any DNA evidence. DNA evidence just makes the case stronger.
I still don't understand why a desktop environment would need to interact with an init system. I get that gdm would need it it to start at boot, and for things like shutting down and restarting. But why would the DE itself require a specific init system?

Why not? Because containers of liquid are limited to 3oz at security checkpoints. And a 750ml bottle is way over the limit.
Also Chuck is Charles Shaw, a cheap wine sold at Trader Joes. One step above fortified wine.
So I could just stroll up to the gate with a bottle of three buck chuck in my carry on?
It does not increase airline profits.
TSA confiscates your drinks, while the airline sells you drinks at insane margins. More profits for airlines.

More specifically, a substance meant to poison insects, poisons insects.

Bad forensics effects cases other than drug cases. So no, that does not solve the problem.
The easiest way would be to look at your e-mail and see who is sending you PGP encrypted e-mails.
Not to mention that it's so easy to defeat (plaincloths officer) that no person in their right mind would use the technology to fool police.

Firefox was supposed to be just a browser. Has Mozilla forgotten why Firefox was created in the first place?
Nope. Common carriers can be held repsonsible for turning a blind eye to illegal traffic.
No need to dumster dive. There are plenty of OSes that support i686 cpus. DragonFly targets high end amd64 servers. Not every OS needs to target everyone.
The release anouncment makes it seem like they didn't have old or low end desktops in mind as their audience.

Nah-uh. Private browsing mode is for reading the New York Times.

Read the summary? They're looking to piss off Australians here.
An application is not a standard.
