I still haven't figured out what's the clicky-clicky way to do an upgrade, and I'm a full DD. Plus, GUIs are different in every derivative and often version.
Therefore, no one cares what the end users and support staff think about it.
To the contrary, such a resounding failure shows that at least in some cases, end users' opinions do matter. I personally don't give a flying intercourse about National (ie, USian) Football (ie, handegg) League, nor of any other football (real or american) league, but plenty of people Microsoft would want to market Surface to do care.
Everybody likes Putin so much his party gets 99.5% votes with 99.4% turnout in a republic whose population got expelled then mercifully let to return twice, and has been at a civil war with Russia until 2000 when it was brutally pacified, and some insurgency is smoldering to this day.

Contrary to what one would suspect, writing to the EFI partition is not a restricted operation. It can't be -- you could just put your disk into another machine and write anything there. Instead, if you write a kernel/bootloader not signed by a key signed by Microsoft, it simply won't boot.
Copyright law needs a top to bottom reform. Period.
Here's my proposal: sed '/^/d'
Seriously, copyright brings us exactly as much good as patents, and for the same reasons: a king of England got greedy and devised a way to gouge people for even more moolah while enacting censorship -- and then it got worse. The exact law differs (Statute of Anne that gave a monopoly and censorship duties to the Company of Stationers vs random "letters patent" monopolies) but their aim was the same.
Creative writing/art/etc was doing well before anyone thought of copyright.
Well, try running a kernel or bootloader not signed by Microsoft on new Restricted^WSecure Boot systems. The requirement for the user's ability to disable Restricted Boot on x86 has recently mysteriously disappeared, wanna guess what's coming next?
Another thing: Windows bootloaders are signed with a key named "Microsoft Windows Production PCA". There's a different signing key, "Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA" that OEMs merely "should consider" including. Guess which one keys of distributions who begged to have their keys signed are signed with?
And once you boot one of such kernels in Secure Boot mode[1], you can't insert unsigned modules, kexec unsigned kernels or access (even as root) a number of facilities that could let you gain control over your own machine.
[1]. These kernels work normally when booted without Secure Boot.
apt-get install bucklespring (there's a Mac build, dunno how do you install there -- or if you even still can install anything not from the App Store)
The author of this program has sampled the sound of every key on a real Model M, so you can install this and pretend you have a keyboard for grown-ups. On the downside, everyone in your building can learn what you type without requiring a VoIP link.
It's a better idea to use the term 'Soviet' instead of Russian when the union of 15 Soviet communist republics existed, and when Russian only referred to the RSFSR
There's no "Soviet" language even though one of those republics forced its language on others to a level that only the French (as a minority or majority) beat, including forcing people to switch their native languages to Cyrillic.
Halt -- nope. Erode them only at a moderately slow pace, as opposed to Hillary's all-out rush, hopefully. Remind me who called your constitution "just a goddamned piece of paper" and which party he belonged to. Yet even that person tried to make it appear he heeds the law -- breaches of the 1st Amendment were few, of 2nd limited to state level, those of 4th were held in deep secret.. On the other hand, Hillary promised wholesale scrapping of 1st and 2nd, without even bothering to formally repeal them, and we can be sure she'll follow Obama's lead on 4th.
And this concerns me as without a world power at least nominally protecting these freedoms, you can bet freedom of speech and so on will become niche then disappear.
Belarus has KDB rather than KGB, state in Belarussian is "dzyerzhava" as opposed to [red] Russian "gosudarstvo". But then, Lukashenko hardly even knows Belarussian...
Your party put the first nail in the coffin for rule of law, not mine.
Newsflash: I'm neither a Democrite nor a Repugnicunt. Hell, I'm even not an American. I'm just interested in these affairs as they have an enormous effect on my country too.
When Linux doesn't meet your use case, you can fix it or pay someone to have it fixed. When OS X or Windows have the slightest bug, tough cookies, there's precisely nothing you can do.
And for this particular article, you can use Linux on that 2010 MacBook Air just fine. Linux doesn't support hardware forever -- the kernel requires at least 486 and Debian just bumped the minimal requirements for i386 to 686, but for the latter that's still good 20 years of support.
Welcome to Slashdot, where unhinged ranting is modded insightful.
Show me then a single word in lucm's post that is wrong. Trump is a crude buffoon but he's calling for avoiding wars while the Lying Bitch has already caused one or, stretching it a bit, two, without even being president yet. Yes, she rather than Obama. And there's far more damage than mere wars she's about to cause.
And, as someone who used to be a Satan worshipper (as a dumb teenager...), I strenuously object to naming the witch[1] a "spawn of Satan". In my country it's a crime to "insult religious feelings"[2]. She's worse than Putin, she's Lennart Poettering level of badness.
[1]. Offending Wiccans, drat. [2]. Although despite the law's wording, in practice only one religion is protected.
Won't this simply push desktop users to use the mobile site, and if needs be, spoof their browser identifier?
Well, I do the exact opposite: when connecting from an ARM computer, be it a laptop or a SoC, I get a useless "mobile" pages on many websites. Some will notice NoScript and redirect to the normal version because javascript is ubiquitely required for mobile crap, but for many, you need to spoof for sanity.
Only compared to Trump. Hillary Clinton has never done anything on the scale of these those assholes
I'm not aware of Trump ordering to murder or threaten to murder anyone, cause unprovoked invasions of other counties, abuse federal agencies against political enemies, etc. The lying {b,w}itch, on the other hand...

Not jailed, but put into the same medical category as homeopaths
You mean, with whole sections and adverts in every pharmacy? With their hocus-pocus paid for with taxpayer money?
I am running native Fedora 24

There's another JavaScript framework I'd heartily recommend.

Whatever the excuse, hopefully it will get bitch slapped by the Supremes and struck down.
Since the bitch will get to choose the Supremes and remove last vestiges of the pretense of a rule of law, nope.
How could he know that the internet was cut "by a state actor" but not know which state actor?
I don't know either whether it was the US acting directly or ordering their colony to do so.
Or maybe Assange has an agenda.
If someone tried to assassinate me, personally, I'd have an agenda too.
You can write drivers for windows and if you have enough money, they will include features for you.
Yeah, but the money required is quite a few orders of magnitude higher than for changes to Linux or BSD.

You mean there's still anyone who uses an ISP's email? What if you want to dump the scumbags or move to another city or country?
I guess you mean at rather than cron. It takes just a ^C to cancel or turn the music off; less typing to set it up, too.
I would have killed for a good free Alarm clock app years ago. I only had a desktop (next to my bed).

He might be evil, but he's still a boy scout compared to current presidential candidates.
