Fuck you and fuck your arrogant decree that Linux distributions needs to match what you believe them to be. I'm going to make my Linux install exactly what I want. That's half the point of using an open source OS. And unsurprisingly it does not include Gnome 3 (other than a fork like Cinnamon) because its developers and "visionaries" don't give a shit about me, so I don't give a shit about them.
It's quite simple; license plates at which a warrant has not been issued should not be tracked. LPRs should ignore them.
Good luck getting that to happen. The primary benefit of LPRs to law enforcement is making criminals out of previously unsuspected people in order to raise revenue.
I remember old American-made cartoons sometimes had an incredible blizzard that started right at the Canadian border, as if Canada was the edge of the Earth.
I'm a Canadian citizen living on the border. I'll just head north in case of something crazy. Nonetheless, I still think you'll find enough pushback if and when shit starts going crazy.
People are assuming that NASA folks didn't think of this. If I had to guess, I'd say they're doing some sort of code signing. Nation-states are obviously on a different playing field but I'm not too worried about average people.
Also, I stopped reading the article as soon as I saw the still for Hackers: The Movie at the top. Let's hope they don't hack NASA's Gibson and give it a Pac-Man virus!
as well as attack ads and other campaigning that can be best summed up by "my opponent will destroy this country,"
It is the one thing that both camps can say that is probably true.
Unless they successfully "pull a Hitler" (i.e. remove the separation of powers, absorb all power into the Executive, and rule by fiat), that's fantastically unlikely. By some measures Bush tried pretty hard, but there was still a lot of push back.
This is why you should be scared when a single party has both houses, a majority of the Supreme Court, and the Executive. That doesn't happen too often, thankfully.
The smart people have already looked at the real platforms of the candidates and know for whom they're voting. That leaves those who are too lazy to do any research; these are the ones swayed by stupid bullshit like how
Paul Ryan's classmates voted him as his class's 'biggest brown noser'
as well as attack ads and other campaigning that can be best summed up by "my opponent will destroy this country," even though a rational, objective thinker would realize that neither major candidate will likely do so.
The rest of us? We're not the targets of this late-stage campaigning so we're completely ignored. I'll be fast forwarding through the political ads like the rest of you and wishing it was already November 7. Hell, I can't even vote (yet) so this really just feels like being forced to watch a bunch of idiots fighting from the sidelines.
Is it possible to brick the rover? I'm sure it's possible. A number of bad things would have to happen for this to occur, most of which have been probably been figured out and designed around. But they call them "unknown unknowns" for a reason.
It's actually already happened. I'll still give the engineers behind it the benefit of a doubt. I bet they learned a lot from last time.
Also, it's better to predict doom and gloom than success because if the doom-and-gloom occurs, you're amazingly prescient and you can say, "See! I told you this was a bad idea!" If it doesn't, your predictions of doom-and-gloom will be easily forgotten among the euphoria of success. Worst case scenario, you can point out how "lucky" they were that everything worked out for the best.
Yeah, that sort of political game rubs me the wrong way. I try to avoid it.
A naked woman rubbing herself all over the guy next to you is *NOT* required to accept harassment from you of any kind -- to assume you are welcome to the same without her permission is absurd.
Perhaps true, but in any professional environment, that woman is sexually harassing me.

I hate these sorts of absolute arguments from you "capital-A" Atheists. You realize you come off almost as extreme as fundamentalist theists, right?
Uncaring Linux user here. I have nothing to add to this but please continue. *munches popcorn*
Linux distributions should rethink their purpose.

If you use the words "legitimate rape" in any serious context, I'm already branding you an asshole and ignoring anything you subsequently say.
Why don't we just ignore the asshole politicians and don't give their extremist political arguments the benefit of scientific analysis?
FarmVille is a mind control experiment (a massively successful one). Zynga employs psychologists to maximize user engagement.
They would know.
Pffft, Slackware. I run Gentoo on my sundial. Now it tells time 377.4% faster.
Developer here, posting from an aluminum iMac running Debian. Tried OS X for about a month, didn't like it. Too... fidgety.
Everything's running fine, by the way, including an external monitor.

Whether the parent post is serious or sarcasm, it's hilarious either way.
The UNBLINKING anus in the sky.
I'd be more concerned if it was blinking.

Sure. My apologies if "strip club" doesn't immediately come to mind as an example of a professional environment.
Hey, it's my eighth grade teacher!
I'm an immigrant, not a kid. And Bush did a particularly bad job; he didn't destroy the country. "Destroy" has a very specific meaning.

a) Pasadena
b) Neil Armstrong
c) Apollo

They go to the big Cloud in the sky.
Thanks, I'll be here all day. Try the fish.

The company is having a hard time getting third-party developers interested in the Vita platform.
Aww, poor Sony. Why on Earth would developers not like them?
"where's the beef?"
Smuggled onto the plane in your ass.
