If you're using it with a one time password to add 2 factor auth it doesn't matter if somebody gets the yubikey and/or pc.
Something you have and something you know... you need both.

You can get an HP 14" with 4gb RAM and 16GB ssd for around $200.
Like others have said, cobbling together a homebrew chromebook is probably going to result in something with worse battery life and a raft of other issues.
Considering what they cost it's not worth screwing around with it.
I picked up an HP 14" Chromebook refurb for ~ $200 and it's great; it replaced a Samsung 11" and switching to the new box was as simple as logging in.

The actual articles, records, whatever, aren't being removed and instead this whole 'right to be forgotten' goes after indexers of information.
Proponents keep pointing out that somebody can still find the information if they dig for it - or hire somebody to dig for it - and rather than removing information this just makes it harder for *regular people to find.
So people who can't afford it don't have access to that information and the internet becomes a less useful tool for those that can't afford to pay for LexisNexis (or whatever service it happens to be).
Not only a benefit for the pedos that get to have their records essentially expunged but a *huge blow to the economic viability of small businesses.
The wealthy get to use the internet - the poor not so much.
This is one of the most short sighted, and potentially destructive, things I've seen regarding internet regulation.
Look, I'm not going to argue that we shouldn't prevent a cell phone service monopoly, but using the cost of cellphones in the early 1990s as an argument against it isn't even remotely valid.
Computers cost upwards of $2k for a typical desktop in the early 1990s and there were *way* more PC manufacturers back then (remember Computer Shopper magazine?). One could just as easily say "More competitors lead to higher prices. Anybody remember what PCs cost in the early 1990s?" and be equally wrong.

I just put another machine together and it was ~ $1.5k
The first machine I bought was a 486dx2 an it was ~ $1.5k
There are definitely more low end options out there now - but the price of putting a decent machine together really hasn't change that much.
Acceptable levels of arsenic, Yucca mountain, the "Clear Skys" act....
global warming is just the most prominent example of how Republicans routinely twist or flat out ignore science.

I've built good number of clusters over the years using various hardware (very often 1u dual port machines) and completely automated installs for hundreds of compute nodes.
I can't even recall the last time I saw this issue.

I use the free version all the time and it's super easy to setup (less than 5 minutes... seriously... go look at nomachine.org).
It's *way faster than VNC and runs my session silently while another user is logged into the remote box.
(maybe I can do that with VNC as well and I just don't know how to... I just never bothered trying since NX seems so much faster)
I'm glad to hear that the London police are so on top of things.
My experience is with the LAPD and various smaller LEAs around the US... and I can tell you the likelihood of anything besides deterrence coming of that here is slight at best.
Most of them are understaffed, underfunded, and overworked... CSI is a TV show and nothing more.
How likely is is that the police are going to wave UV lights over suspected stolen property?
or that they will wave the light in proper place?
or that they will even know what to do if something fluoresces?
And assuming they *do know about the stuff AND look for it AND find it... how likely is it that they will take the time (and money) to get a sample and send it off?
Not to mention the legal shakiness of the solution actually being unique... or that it actually identifies anything as belonging to you.
I can see this as a deterrent but the odds of anybody actually running a PCR on suspected marker on a suspected stolen laptop seem to make it not much more.
My understanding is that the fees are placed in an Electronic Waste Recovery and Recycling Account which is then used for things like free electronic recycling drop offs.
Are you upset with the implementation of this or just upset at the idea of taxes?
I don't think the Teacher's union qualifies as a trade union
I was responding to your comment that
anyone who thinks that unions have anything to do with good products, good business, or sane long-term strategies is a fucking moron
Union electricians (or many other trade unions) are an example of how your statement is possibly deadly wrong.
In electrical work the only real "technical competence certificate" is your journeyman card that shows you've completed the union apprenticeship (currently 5 years of both school and on the job training).
having worked as both a union and non-union electrician I'd *NEVER hire non-union to do electrical work
With trade unions you know that the people have at least a base level of competence at their job.
Hillary's "freedom of information" masturbatory rhetoric is aimed at people who know a little but not too much.
It has a different ring when coupled with the knowledge that the US govt has colluded with US providers to eavesdrop on people.
Eavesdropping and censoring aren't the same thing - but knowing that somebody is monitoring your "free and open" Internet access makes it feel a bit less "free and open".
Backups don't prevent outages - they help minimize the downtime caused by them.
In this case, with 12 outages in such a short time, the lack of backup is just an indicator of base incompetence.

There are definitely more low end options out there now - but the price of putting a decent machine together really hasn't change that much.
I routinely build high end PC's for about 1/2 the price of comparable Macs - and the machines I build have better components.
I didn't say we shouldn't have any arsenic - but thanks for assigning me that opinion anyways

of course they prerelease a few..
and there are a few reviews of them..
but a few devices and a few reviews != "many"

i bought an unlocked N1 the second it was released.
no review of the many that i read before i purchased the phone had anything significant to complain about
0o
How many reviews were there *before the second it was released??
Funny how you leftists cried foul when the rightists made that argument but now use it yourselves. Fucking hypocrites.
Painting with such a wide brush doesn't bolster your argument.
It just makes it easier to dismiss you as a partisan hack
