Static linking might be semi-adequate for stuff that you compile at home, but for any code that's distributed using static is a sabotage. For example, when there's a bug (security or not) in a library, you can't avoid recompiling the world. That's why distributions go for 100% dynamic linking, and why they dislike current Go.
As if any browser was capable of using more than one core to render a page. With Chromium or Electrolysis you can have different tabs use more than one core, but there's never any parallelism within a tab. All because of brain-dead design of Javascript.
Downsides: 1. you lose remote access (save for second-class stuff like VNC), 2. you need to port most software or use X emulation. Upsides:... [crickets]...
Actually, slashcode does support Unicode, all that needs to be done for/. to get Unicode is reconfiguring the database (and converting old comments, I guess).
it's the only tool legislators have after they've rooted out real corruption
Uhm... are you sure you're talking about the US? That's the only country in the world that outright legalized corruption, in the guise of "campaign donations".
I'm no physicist, but it sounds wrong to me: the energy he names is merely 10^24eV, which is not far beyond energies of observed cosmic rays (10^21eV-ish). It's inconceivable that this hasn't been ever reached within the Universe, which according to the guy's claims should have caused a reset.
Even internet access is okay, as long as you don't use any Microsoft client software. Which is no different from the "latest and greatest" version of Windows.
Sorry to break it to you, but the only reason no virus got around that is that no one bothered working around a blocker no one uses. In DOS, all it takes to duplicate OS calls is to copy their code, as every process has full access to the hardware and can do everything on its own. And then, any process can write to every location in memory, defeating any anti-virus or precaution imaginable. You would have to reimplement Bochs and interpret every opcode in software, effectively emulating a more secure platform. You can't securely run untrusted code without a MMU of some kind.
In fact, only personal data here is worth something. How can we give a meaningful vote if no single person used more than a few of these machines, and remembers some media hype on a bunch more, but far less than all?

How to get elected with fire bombs and terror scares.
Actually, discussing how the FSB staged bombings to boost the Dear Leader's ratings gets you polonium tea.
London has 7 times as much violent crime as New York, despite similar demographics.
Actually, a new ice age is starting. We just managed to more than offset it, though...

The real problem is, why a webpage can make noise without permission.
Seriously, all video/audio should be behind a click-to-play block by default, with no way around.

Then why shamans of mainstream religions (priests, mullahs) can promise shit they do promise? How are they different from a psychic or a medium?

"week end". At least in English-speaking world, Sunday is the last day.
I thought MS-DOS didn't get folders until 2.0
MS-DOS never had folders. It had directories, the brain-dead relabelling by Microsoft didn't come until Windows 95.
1. Besides hello.jpg, there's giver.jpg.
2. The goatse image (hello.jpg) comes from a set of 40 photos.
You can find more in the proper encyclopedia.
You're assuming they're thinking rationally. They're not. It's not a well-calculated strategy, it's all about Islam.
Let me say it in french so it's pretty clear:
Fuck you, Loto-Québec.
As they're from Quebec, this won't work. You need to name some church utensils or furniture instead.
For example in the Linux iptables packet filter, you can disable the IPv6 protocol completely with a single command:
iptables -I INPUT -p 41 -j DROP
No, that will drop just one of many ways of tunnelling IPv6 over IPv4. To drop or manipulate IPv6 packets, you need to use ip6tables instead.
And you really shouldn't be using DROP here, as it will delay every connection until timeout expires. You want REJECT instead.
Non-existence being the best possible security.
What else will you download Firefox with on a new system?
That slashdot didn't support unicode
It does. It's actually fully Unicode-compliant
No, Slashdot's database works in ISO-8859-1. You're confusing Slashcode which can do Unicode with Slashdot which still hasn't deployed it.

Except that HTTPS that relies on the CA cartel model is snake oil at best.

So yeah, this whole survey is a scam.
They'll obviously try to control them, as the Soviets tried to control typewriters, but that will only be a temporary speed-bump.
Not only Soviets. Currently, every single laser printer fingerprints its output.
