Fedora 29 is, effectively, discarding Python 2 in favor of Python 3. This means that the leading edge packages from Fedora will no longer include options to compile for the older, standard Python 2 built into every RHEL or CentOS release without extensive manual revision.
Whether he intended to kill is an interesting psychological question. Many gamblers continue, not to _win_, but to _lose_. The same is true for many people engaged in dangerous or self destructive behavior.
Google handles large scale network technology, and small scale for their internal services and personnel, constantly and effectively. I'd expect them to have considerable expertise. Their _goals_ will differ from those of a typical ISP.
I'm afraid that X display managers are programs running on top of the X server, started shortly after the X server begins. I don't think they're a defense against this issue.
The X server, the software that runs on the local host, needs local root privileges to communicate directly with the graphics chipsets. So yes, the "/usr/bin/X" program typically runs as the root user.
I'd be concerned that nainstream status for Windows 8 ended on January 1, 2018. While you can get extended support for years longer, I'd not expect mainstream software releases to be thoroughly tested or necessarily compatible with it.

To sell them to home repair laptop owners, to third-party repair vendors, or even on Ebay to uncautious people who believe the vendor and the trademark.It can even be common to replace legitimate orders with illegitimate, counterfeit components and charge full price. I've never encountered this with laptops, but I've encountered it with video cards and RAID controllers. An intern who worked with me sought to keep a purchase order under the price where he and i would have to submit extra paperwork, and made just such a mistake on several orders. I understood the intern's desire to fulfill corporate economy to always the lowest bidder: we had to have a long talk about how to manipulate the bids to ensure that only _reliable_ vendor's bids were seen by the penny pinching accountant who was always insisting on the lowest possible bids.
They're already quite common, they're a major part of the market for large, USB connected, spinning drives. They can require a bit of thought and caution to avoid disconnecting them while data is being written to the drive, but they're quite effective backup systems in small environments that cannot afford and do not need tape backup.
There are critical legal differences between "free software" in the sense of the GPL, "free as in speech" licenses, and "open source". It's unfortunate that whoever the original article cited failed to make the distinction, because it's a powerful one.
Family planning to decide whether to have children or adopt could be a very good reason for genetic counseling, especially if the potential parents have medical issues. Preventive health care for people at high risk of various genetically caused diseases could also be a legitimate reason for genetic counseling.
A few days of work to attend court is, for many of us, a very serious fiscal burden. Even at minimum wage, a wage of perhaps $12/hour after taxes, it's roughly $100/day that might be better spent elsewhere. I can certainly understand doing small claims court out of moral outrage, or if you feel you might get a better return on your investment. But for many people, between the court fees and the lost wages, it's unproductive.
Oh, dear. You've reminded me of the Robert A. Heinlien story, "Gentlemen, Be Seated". Our heroes plugged a hole in the wall of the airlock by sitting on it. They nearly died of blood loss and hypothermia, but managed to survive.
There is quite a lot of astronomy photography of Jupiter and its moons. I's difficult to get good, high precision images. Europe _spins_, with a period of roughly 3.55 Earth days. It's also quite distant, and near a much larger object that also reflects light, namely Jupiter. It could be very interesting to focus the Hubble Space Telescope on it to look for such structures. But how visible would they be from Earth orbit, even with the best optics?
You've made an interesting point. But most of the current furor over abuse and privacy and safety are about precisely the "second" set of drones you mention. In common usage, those are what most people mean by drones, and they are what will be affected most strongly by removing section 336, which is the law currently affecting control of those devices by the FAA. A short news article seems unlikely to draw the distinctions about the other types of drones because the usage is clear.

That's interesting. In the USA, employees caught with even criminal offenses in the workplace are often dismissed, quietly, to avoid scandal and legal backlash. The "blackballing" is often ineffective.
Even if the "shitcanning" is true, rationally handling consequences is not something we can completely rely on to prevent criminal or foolish behavior. I'd expect lower level CAD engineer to require only a modest bribe. It can be very tempting to ignore the risks of getting caught when facing crushing student debt, medical expenses, or a family to support. At a more senior level, I've seen senior staff in several countries engage in various forms of design fraud, ignoring specifications to keep a project within budget. It's precisely why design reviews, and physical inspection, are so critical.
Some level of brain control has long been possible, both chemically and surgically. _Thought_ control can even be done by controlling speech and other behavior. _Reading_ thoughts is a far more subtle task. EEG's, for example, average the electrical impulses from quite a wide area of the brain, so the transmission is not subtle.
That is an interesting point. But I'd assume that, as engineers at a subcontractor business, they probably don't care much about penalties form Apple. People will do astounding things for very small bribes or startlingly weak blackmail at the right moment form the right person. They might not have even known they were doing, they might merely have left their workstations insecure by accident.
Servers are not a niche market. OenBSD hosts of any kind are a niche market. Reasonably honest audits, such as those at https://idatalabs.com/tech/ope..., report its deployed percentage as roughly 1/10 of 1 percent of operating systems. If their market were larger, there would be more customers to complain about losing a few percent of performance by disabling the threading behavior.
I'd submit that, if OpenBSD had any market presence, Theo de Raadt and the core OpenBSD kernel team would have handled this differently. Since their market share is so very small with so few commercial customers, it seems unworth their effort to attempt to integrate a subtle kernel patch written by a vendor to fix a kernel optimization feature not critical to their niche marketplace.
For NVidia cards, I cannot find anyone who uses OpenBSD for high performance graphics. This is especially since almost no games and almost no high end graphics or CAD software runs on it. Do you know of anyone who uses OpenBSD for graphics applications?
You've raised an interesting point. Have you reviewed the article? There is a difference between "not on the manufacturer's component list" and "not part of the original design". That distinction could leave an opportunity for engineers at the subcontractor SuperMicro was using to insert the component into the circuit board design and component list, so that it would not show up as an unexpected part for a typical hardware evaluation. It would require a much deeper knowledge of the design to say "what is this comopnent doing here on the network data pathway" ?

The core CentOS leadership are now Red Hat employees. They're not clear of nor uninvolved in this purchase.

The "spinless hard disks" or SSD drives are much, much more expensive per Gigabyte than hard drives or tape.

The price of small claims court can add up very quickly. Based on https://personalfinance.costhe...,

Perhaps if you listened instead? It might be too late by now.
Please excuse me, this was far too easy.

Is it concentration? Or net dosage? Many diet soda drinkers can consume a 2-liter bottle in the course of a day quite esily.
