  1. The article from phoronix.com says that not the apple article, but as per the stack exchange link someone did all they had to do was add the nvme ID into the right file. IE Linux doesn't pick up the storage controller by default yet because its so new, once a few updates are released it should work just fine if you disable secure boot.

  2. Its only 30% for the first year, if a subscription is active more than 12 months it drops to 15% https://developer.apple.com/ap.... Its pretty reasonable for a distribution cut, just look at the kind of cut music distributors take before the Artist gets their share.

  3. Re:Your Macbook model can run El Capitan 10.11 on Ask Slashdot: What's the Fastest Linux Distro for an Old Macbook 7,1? · · Score: 1

    It can even run macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) (the current latest version).

    Yep it will indeed However you can't install 10.13 directly on a system with 10.6.8 you need to be on 10.8 or later but you can got to 10.11 and then to 10.13 Check out https://support.apple.com/en-a... for the link to download 10.11.6 from the appstore for free.

  4. Australia has had this for ages on Bill Introduced To Require ID When Purchasing "Burner Phones" (house.gov) · · Score: 1

    In Australia when you purchase and/or activate a SIM/Celluar service you must provide ID of one form or another. They accept government issue ID or a credit card number. It can be done in person, online or over the phone. We don't care about the device, just the celluar service. The data is not collected by the government but the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) which is and industry group with the members being our carriers, they also maintain the IMEI blacklist for phones reported stolen and all carriers subsribe to it, so a stolen phone can't be used on any Australian network

  5. They are doing this in Australia too but ... on Cell Phones To Be Allowed On UK Planes · · Score: 2, Informative

    I just read the other day that Qantas is going to do this on some flight is Australia, but they are restricting use to Messaging and Data use only, so NO CALLING, Yeah!!
    The last thing you want on a Red-Eye flight to/from Perth etc is some numbskull blabbering on his phone.

    However it will be just like international romaing so its probably going to cost an arm and a leg to use

  6. Probably bad qualtity anyway on Hellgate London Code Stolen? · · Score: 1

    The code is probably no where near finished so whats the point of stealing it other than to piss people off? Sure it might help if someone wants to make their own games, but wouldn't it be obvious to the original author if someone did this and if a major Game mob did this they would have their pants sued off

    Well whoose fault is that? Not the Linux people, maybe if they wrote their own linux driver it would work? Its the product developer's job to make sure somthing is compatible.

    No wonder the share price is doing so poorly, Telstra's service is CRAP!!!! Well, they have good GSM coverage (I use it on Three's Roaming) but its too expensive. Their other services are ok, but they charge way too much. They need to be split, and the government needs to keep the wholesale arm, and sell the retail arm.

    We have been calling for this for Donkeys Now, all they need to do is reduce their prices so people will actually use Telstra

    what else needs this kinda space? I for one would be reluctant to put all my important stuff on one disc, I would rather have a couple of smaller discs.

    That wont even fit a quater of the data we deal with, Uncomressed video takes a LOT of space. We need 10 Terabyte discs

  13. Re:As an Aussie on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 1

    We would defend ourselves with advanced tatics and a few people armed with automatic weapons, and they could easily beat a larger force.
    In Australia we only allow responsible people with traing anywhere near automatic firearms, and only those properly licenced are allowed to own and use firearms.
    The people without guns would be able to use their brain to defeat the enemy, Australia is a unlike any other country in the world which requires an exceptional knowledge of the place to get around in the bush/desert of which most of our country is covered.

    If it came to the worst we could go to Ranger and Jabiluka and get all that uranium and expose the enemy to it and kill them that way, or we could build a nuke out of it, and send it via our SCRAMJET (We flew them about 2 years before NASA) all the way to the origin of the invading army.

    Scared?? No, we just don't like having crazed people running around our streets with a harmful weapon, our crime rate is nowhere near that of the US, we don't need guns to protect ourselves, because we don't have weridos running around with guns. If our country was invaded by any hostile force, most Australainas would "volunteer" to defend the country, just like they did in WWI and WWII. Also our close friends and Neighbours NZ would most likely help out and the ANZACs spirt would come back in full force. We love our country and will do what it takes to defend it and the countries of our friends and allies. Also we have lots of kangaroo's that we can train, they are dangerous animals

  16. As an Aussie on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 2, Interesting

    First I need to state that I am an Aussie, and I fully support what the CSIRO stands for The CSIRO has a right to their patent, unlike NASA they can make money from their inventions, and hence are able to increase their budget without out the bill being footed by the TAX payer. I can only say to to those unhappy about the patent, the US government agreed to the FTA (Unfortunately so did our governement against what many of us wanted) and hence US companies and individuals are now bound by the patent, which was pointed out previously has been around since 1993. If you don't like it, complain to your government and get the FTA rewritten. And to that idiot who made some slightly homourous comment about invading out wonderful country, your troops woudln't know what hit them, Just look at the War games results, and the success rate of our troops.

  18. What was their sample? on Yankee Group Survey Says Windows, Linux TCO Equal · · Score: 3, Informative

    It would be easier enough to get a "mathmatically" representative sample with very small number of people who have never used linux. I have worked for or with Business that have setup Windows and Linux Networks also mixed enviroments, and for some of them it windows had a lower TCO (thats because they would have had to train too many staff to use Linux and that was awhile ago) Other people find that a Linux network as a significantly lower TCO than Windows. On the topic of training we have got people to sit down on a linux box (properly configured) with no prior linux exp, and they thought it was better than windows. ------ Admiral Trigger Happy
