    Lighten up Claire (pun intended ;-)
    What the man dreads is critical mass. The man is just the point-1 percent, rmember? That critical mass will come, in fact it's already there, and my bet is that that smartphone you're going to get will be more of a help than a hinder when the time comes. It may even be a prerequisite.

  15. At least as important is this on Apple's Newest iPhone X Ad Captures an Embarrassing iOS 11 Bug (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

  16. I'm not familiar with the Windows environment at all, but couldn't one just install let's say Firefox, replace the Edge executable with a batch script of the same name that transposes the Edge args into Firefox args, and then from said script call the Firefox executable with those args?

    Doesn't quite roll off the tongue that well.

  21. "the principles of coordinated vulnerability disclosure".
    Coordinated with whom, the gov?

  22. The meme 'open source', despite everyone and his cat embracing it these days, is still a meme to be eradicated in due time, by those that stand to benefit from its demise. We all know who they are. This is just one move in that grand scheme.

  23. ... controlling speech. Period.

  24. I live here too.

  25. disappointing on Amazon Recalls 260,000 Portable Power Banks For Fire Hazard (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1
