The government does have some control. The government accused the BBC of being London-centric, they were forced to move jobs up north. Now the government is controlling the BBC of the price of the TV Licence.
OpenBSD isn't a replacement for Linux. Those using ZFS may find life difficult getting those file systems mounted. You could just remove it manually instead, would probably save a great deal of time/energy spent building things from ports.
Personally, run those edge cases of Windows only software in a VM (iTunes and certain iPods, Outlook, etc, I'm looking at you). Everything else, particularly web based applications just run better on Linux. Oh yeah, and the boot time is much better for Linux, too.
Its this sort of of thing that draws attention to government data warehousing projects that have leaky data. Not the sort of thing the government should draw attention to.
ZFS is a memory hog. I wouldn't advise it. I've seen cases where the file system cannot be imported (mounted) at boot, and that situation is not one that you want when all your important data is in that pool. In general, the FS is poor in performance. Sure, if you value long term data retention ZFS is great, but so is tape storage. Why not just use ext/xfs for live data and tape for historical, then you can keep your RAM and performance. This way you get to store your archives somewhere (like you need to with snapshots anyway) just incase your system catches fire and the eggs in one basket gets destroyed.
The *vast* majority of drivers for Linux are, in the Linux kernel. It has been upwards of ten years since I needed to get a driver from the internet. I think that was for a SB Live card that needed emu10k, it didn't take long before that was included in the Linux kernel. What was the other thing, perhaps it was winmodems. Unsurprisingly they needed drivers and gave poor performance anyway. Nope. I can't see your argument for it being internet dependant. On the other hand, how often do you have to go off to third parties for your drivers on a windows system? Perhaps all the time since there is a lack of generic drivers on windows. Perhaps this is why windows is full of crap and malware due to unreliable third party drivers.
True, but also from their point of view "if they don't even show us who they are, they're not worth hiring".
Sad.
I'm with you on the ditching facebook, or never signing up though, and as for linkedin, yeah, that's a pile of junk too. It's just social climbing and I'm not one of those.
I'm still using boot floppies, but they're virtual and mounted via an HP ILO... Not touched an actual floppy since, no, I can't remember when. They were great until you got pocket fluff/grit behind the gate and transferred it unto the drive. SD cards are a suitable replacement, though easily lost and are perhaps on par bad block wise.
One thing we should commend though, well done on keeping your files small enough to fit on floppies. That's pretty much impossible after a few revisions of a Word document after it collects all that system information.
There's freedom of speech, but then there's speech that's so offensive that no eyes should read it. It's misused. Totally. Some audio cds have to carry a notice to warn parents/buyers that the contents is unsuitable for children. Welcome to 2014, the internet is a scary place, watch your children whilst they use it - don't arrest every user who posts something they may regret later as there was a humour failure.
It was a prediction of the future, so don't be shocked that this one is close to the truth. Just don't be surprised that room 101 is full of web logs of all the bad things you said on the internet.

Some are though, such as the comment by "Anonymous Coward" that you followed up on. Wouldn't it be nice if Justice Bot could go to the posters location and dispense justice upon him autonomously? Rule 237, humans not bad would not apply in this situation. The problem would be when the AI considers all humans to do bad and in need of punishment.

You may also like JuiceSSH on the droid. I found it offered better features than ConnectBot.
Wasn't that mrxvt?
mrxvt - lightweight multi-tabbed X terminal emulator - complete version

gpm, with a mouse, or use ctrl-a [ in GNU Screen... worked well for me for years...
xterm?

OpenBSD, please.
Sorry, you lost me at 5year investment.

You're doing it wrong, use something like https://www.usenix.org.uk/cont...
I think what you're referring to is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., time being proportional to the number of heads on a project.

So, what if you wanted to filter out all the W's - can your machine do that? What about skittles, did you want to limit yourself to one type of sweet?

Or could it be that the customer can't produce a false claim of unreasonable force after the incident?
I'd have three Mormons too.
