We, the free software community, need to start working on making sure opportunistic encryption is easy to set up and turn on in our distros. If possible, make sure it works out of the box. Of course, you should still encrypt your communications anyway even if you are using OE. And stop making protocols that do not have encryption built-in. We always end up having to bolt it on afterwards and it never gets implemented in most programs because of this.
Translation: My mother borrowed my PC to check her email, typed the first three letters of "hotmail" and the Awesome Bar nearly gave her a heart attack.
Now she knows he went to hotels.com. Oh, the humanity!
This is easily fixed by going to about:config, searching for useragent, and changing "iceweasel" to "firefox".
Why didn't the maintainer do that before making the package? So now, instead of one person making one fix which would fix it for everyone, each person who uses this package has to duplicate effort to make the change themselves. What a bunch of wasted effort because of one lazy debian package maintainer.
We can't extend labor protections to the whole world overnight.
Nor do I think we should do so at all.
But I think if people had an effective voice and governments with their interests in mind they wouldn't have to accept the type of practices we read about, where workers falling into debt to their employers are forced to bring their kids into the work force.
I believe that should be left up to the people in those countries. If the citizens feel they don't have a voice then they should make efforts to find one. Other countries shouldn't intervene in their personal affairs.
I find it highly unlikely that, when you buy things, with one click nothing is said and you're automatically charged so no one has an excuse if they've purchased it.
What part of one click do you not understand? If it shows a confirmation page and you have to confirm the purchase, that takes a second click.
So i'm driving down telegraph, check behind me, and change lanes. Suddenly, this motorcyclist is hitting my window.. he was hugging my blind spot (you can't check it, that's why it's called a "blind spot"), which is particularly large on the model i was driving.
You're supposed to check your blind spot before changing lanes. What if a small car was in that blind spot and you hit it?
I have this impression of China that everything there is done as cheaply as possible without regard to safety or double checking, etc. It reminds me of one of my favorite blog posts showing the difference between the way the Japanese and the Chinese refuel a plane. Notice that the Chinese guy is starting the siphoning of the fuel with his mouth. The owners of this restaurant were too cheap to pay some English-speaking Chinese kid a hundred yuan to translate it for them. At least we get some laughs out of it.
I don't want to type it in everytime I want to go there, why can't I just click on the fucking drop down arrow and look for it there
You can, but the bar has to learn what sites you visit most often. That means you have to use it so it can learn. When I click on the drop down arrow I now see the sites I visit the most right at the top.
Well, to be fair (and assuming I remember the details correctly), the coffee in that cse was a lot hotter than it was supposed to be. So it's not quite as moronic as it sounds at first.
Correct. It was hot enough (180 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit) that it caused third degree burns to her body within a few seconds. See this summary. She just wanted McDonalds to cover her medical bills, but they refused. McDonalds knew that the temperature was a problem. From the linked article:
During discovery, McDonalds produced documents showing more than 700 claims by people burned by its coffee between 1982 and 1992. Some claims involved third-degree burns substantially similar to Liebecks. This history documented McDonalds' knowledge about the extent and nature of this hazard.
So it wasn't about it just being too hot. It was far too hot for a person to consume and was dangerous. And McDonalds knew it.
I had this problem on a forum several times in the past. I modified the software to make my service slow or fail at random points for certain user names. I could enter a value between 1 and 10 to indicate how "broken" the system was. The idea was not to ban the user as they would only create a new account. Instead, I made the system more frustrating to use. Sometimes it would be a bit slow serving pages. Other times it would display a page indicating that there was a database error after a post was submitted. You can get creative, but be sure to have the system work most of the time. Eventually the troll will give up when they can't post for an hour or two because of a "500 Internal Server Error" or some other problem.
I can't take credit for the idea though. Philip Greenspun wrote about this about a decade ago in one of his web books.

No, I wasn't groping for anything. I stated exactly what I aimed to.
Or "apt-get install apache2" if you don't want to be in the web server stone age.
You mean you live below your means. If you lived above your means, you'd be spending more than you earn.
That depends. If it's over 10,000,000 digits then it will be cashed in for $100,000.
JavaScript isn't just for web pages. A large portion of Firefox is written in JavaScript.
So why not write it in C in the first place? Then one could really optimize it.

What does this have to do with my online rights? Shouldn't this be filed under politics?
This is yet one more reason why I block all ads.
Does anyone know of hardware crypto cards that will work in Linux with Apache/mod_ssl?

Boy, are you in the wrong place. You were supposed to take a left turn at Albuquerque.
Nor do I think we should do so at all.

I guess the Apple marketing department Counts Different too.

Whether they are official or not doesn't help when they are used so much that they have become the de facto identifiers.
