Can you imagine having to change the uefi setup every time you switch OS?
Yes, this inconvenience would be a good reason never to switch back to Windows... but do you really believe they will actually give you the option of switching this off?
If you don't get the key when buying your computer, complain to your manufacturer. It's their fault. I don't know why you're buying a computer with Windows to begin with if you're going to install Linux anyway, you're just throwing away money.
What about those people who buy Windows now, because they don't know any better, but then learn about Linux, and want to install it on their then old computer several years from now? This is not only a plausible scenario for installing Linux on a computer which had Windows initially, but it is also a scenario where complaining to the manufacturer won't help: he may no longer be in business by them, or not longer have the keys for obsolete machines.
O, and another reason to buy a computer with Windows if you're going to install Linux anyways: maybe Microsoft is still so good at bribing most manufacturers that it is difficult to find computers of the desired spec without Windows.
No sex within the nuclear facilities: radiation on both of your bodies would be enough that together you'd form a critical mass...
And watch for any stray planes...
Indeed. That's why they've got those signs in nuclear power stations: no eating, no drinking, no smoking, no urinating, no open wounds.
(Sorry, no picture, as somewhere it also said no cameras, no cellphones).
That being said, it's important to use a different private key on each machine where you might ssh from...
However, in case of a compromise, you'd still need to remove trust in the private key of the impacted machine (so if kernel.org got hacked, you need to remove your old kernel.org's public key from your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on linux.org)
Also, if the hacker got kernel.org's/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key, then he could theoretically later on mount an MITM attack against kernel.org... so the kernel.org admins better change that one as well (while publishing the new key's fingerprint on an SSL server).
Maybe in case you'd need to scp large files from linux.org to kernel.org and vice-versa, without having to first download them to your home machine, and then upload them to the target (slow, if you've got asymetric DSL)
Of course, dumb users not aware of security implications is also a possible explanation (less likely though, as dumb users would probably not be aware of ssh authorized_keys in the first place...).
In both cases, it is smart of the Linux Foundation to warn their users of this potential issue...
If you are an adult on your first appointment with an audiologist, you will in all likelihood have felt uncomfortable with the situation, e.g. as a result of embarrassing conversations with friends or family when you suddenly realise that you have completely misunderstood something that has been said to you. You are then subjected to a series of audiological tests which don't really represent issues relating to the outside world (background noise etc). You are then presented with a (confined) range of hardware options for dealing with your particular problem, and if you get lucky, you and the audiologist might get the solution right the first time. More commonly, you have to try out two or more solutions before you arrive at something you can live with. Even if you manage to get the hardware right, it usually needs a lot of tweaking of frequency response before it starts to work for you.
Well, as you so "obviously" also misunderstand the written word, we can assume that your problems are not tied to your ears, which would explain the difficulties in choosing the right hearing aids.
May I humbly suggest that maybe you get your... brain checked? Indeed, this component seems to be common for listening as well as for reading comprehension,... Your kids might be happy too, as maybe the braindoc might also manage to stop your foolish spending (well, except for his own rates of course...)
I was not posting for idiots like you who have excessive money to throw around at scammers, but instead for those who are willing to learn something new.
And if you really think that the moon is made of green cheese, you are quite wrong.
Well one explanation may be that Europe benefited from cheap medical research on human subjects in the 1930's and 1940's, and the cost savings are still being passed on until today... whereas the US didn't have such opportunity (well, maybe until much more recently..)
I suspect there may be differences (beyond price) between their products and the expensive ones.
The expensive prices ($3000-$8000) are pure fabrication of the slashvertiser. Products of comparable quality than the slashvertiser run at about half the price ($200) than the slashvertiser. Fly-by-nights run at about 1/15th of their price ($27)
You are more likely to be hit by a falling mobile phone, or falling coins (while walking over a fairground), than being hit by falling satellite debris...

Chances are, if they "secured" hard disk boot in such a way, they made booting from removable media impossible as well...

So, it looks like the risk/reward relationship is slightly different in both cases, doesn't it...
No problem: I've heard saunas and gay bath houses are hiring...
I hope, he will die in a fire.
Indeed, he deserves no better!
Or move to US.
No, that would be cruel! Faking doesn't deserve that harsh of a punishment!
Indeed. Everybody knows that light speed is fastest in vacuum...
For the moment, there is nothing coming out.

Indeed. People coming to Slashdot for this...

Why the hell is that comment at 3, Insightful? That quotation isn't even in any of the linked pages.
How could he have gotten fisht posht if he first had to verify whether the article did actually contain his fitting quote?
... and the amount of people just blurting out their password to you without wondering about your lack of database access is even more astounding...

Nerds don't measure "signal strength" in "bars".

Seeing as every veteran probably has substantial hearing loss from small arms fire near their ears I think that's more than fair.
Indeed. Where would Europe be today if you guys hadn't saved us from Hitler 66 years ago... Thanks alot for your heroism!

I think it may be worth it to note that the site in question is in the business of selling their own hearing aids, though...
Yes, and they are twice as expensive as their competition...
buu-dud drum.
Is that the sound of Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt bombarding the Luxembourgish North?
$3000 to $8000 a pair is supposed to be the traditional price.
This story is actually a product marketing newsletter for the company that sells Audicus hearing aids
Congratulations! You Sir have found the whole point of this non-story: a cheesy slashvertisement...
Moderators, please mod parent up!
Now, some kind soul only needs to put a H*tl*r reference into the other threads, in order to make them die a peaceful death..
You are more likely to be hit by a falling mobile phone, or falling coins (while walking over a fairground), than being hit by falling satellite debris...
So I guess you want to forget about any good parties you went to?
Yes, that's what the booze is for... And makes for funny conversation if you meet the same people 3 weeks later... "I did what?"
