So try this one. More than order of magnitude faster than RasPi (4*1.7Ghz overclockable to 2.0 A9 instead of 1*0.7Ghz OCable to 1.0, ancient ARM11). Obviously, $69 for the 1GB 4*1.4Ghz model or $89 for 2GB 4*1.7Ghz is more than RasPi's $35+accessories.
Wrong, it's polygamy that's natural, and monogamy that appeared only in early stages of the agricultural revolution because agriculture is far more labour intensive than hunting-gathering. Just take a look at other primates and almost all mammals -- or pretty much, anything but some birds.
Except that your average malware toolbar does ask for permission when whatever software it is attached to is being installed. It will just helpfully save you from having to do another step, after you click "ok" to "install and enable XXX?".
They do have all encryption keys Chrome could possibly have -- and if they'd be stored remotely, they are in the same position wrt asking Google's servers.
The typical scheme on Windows is, one of ten "Ok" dialogs during installing an unrelated piece of software instead says "install Bonzi Buddy Toolbar", and you need to read them all carefully and press "cancel" instead, which most people fail to do. Or often, it's just a pre-checked check box on a long page.
All that will change is that the question instead of "install BBT?" will be "install and enable BBT?".
How exactly can they block silent installs if the process that wants to add the extensions has the same rights as Chrome -- or strictly higher? The other program can emulate whatever way Chrome uses to mark something as legitimately installed.
It's only a feel-good measure, that can stop only "nice" extensions which would play by the rules in the first place, and does nothing against malware or the operating system itself (looking at you, Microsoft).
It'd be pretty pointless to use whole-partition encryption without encrypted swap. At least the Debian installer doesn't even support that unless you go out of your way; if Windows fails to encrypt swap and request the key on unhibernating, then you shouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Which, from the sound of the article, is indeed the case.
Show me how exactly can you aim well after getting woken up by a break-in. Sometimes, the burglars will freeze in place, standing and shouting obscenities at you so you can aim at _one_. Sometimes. Usually, it's quick action, where even a trained soldier would likely miss a lot. Oh, and you have multiple opponents.
Also, against rational criminals one bullet would be enough: the risk of being the one who gets shot is enough of a deterrent, so they'll leave you alone. The problem is, most criminals are anything but rational. Alcohol and/or drugs don't help them think straight.
The best code doesn't need a single line of comment, because it's written clearly enough.
It should be terse, have functions and variables have meaningful (but not too long!) names, obvious structure, use just the right amount of syntactic sugar but no more, etc.
Sorry, but 99.99% people who scream about bugs in the compiler have a bug in their own code. The GCC team is small and overworked, without a proper delated test case your report is typically a waste of time. And clang, whose team has a number of paid developers, dismisses reports even more readily.
In Poland, some folks speak the Kashubian language which is less intelligible with Polish than for example Czech, yet during the soviet puppet regime people went to jail for daring to suggest it's anything more than some regional accent. The government said Polish is one language with no dialect continuum with the neighbours, and that regional dialects need to be eradicated.
So do the French with Breton, Occitan and others: they deny them the right to exist, fine companies who try to allow their employes to speak these languages at work, and do everything to eradicate them. For added hypoctisy, they demand that French should be preferred over English in parts of Canada.
Some countries want 1 country:1 language so much they artificially declare their languages as separate: Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin are identical baring a small number of words (below 1/100 the difference between British and American English), yet significant amount of taxpayer money goes into proving they have nothing in common with each other. It's so ridiculous that in the Wikipedia you have 7 (or more) copies of the identical language for purely political reasons.
I thus don't believe the language variety in China is going to survive long.
Since its reputation is at stake, I guess the EFF will vet the organizations under its umbrella closely. So feds will come down hard, but won't at least be able to claim laundering.
Try to put a sauce named "hovmästarsås" on your cheese. So good it becomes hard to eat cheese without it. Those ignorant Swedes waste it entirely on salmon (hence its second name, "gravlaxsås") which is a profanation. Can be often bought in IKEAs, or made on your own.

I wager he would reproduce in a laboratory though.
Fortunately the tech isn't ready yet. And we can hope, perhaps something bad could happen to Lennart Poettering as well?

At least unlike Gnome3 or, Cthulhu save us, Metro, no one seriously tries to put Unity on touch-based devices.
Ok, thanks for clarification. It's still the license of the runtime rather than the compiler that's a problem, but indeed both are in one package.
Eh? Since when the license on the compiler restricts you from using it for non-GPLed software?
And if you want to see where anti-GPL FUD leads to, just try to compile for Mac on another system -- or even a different version of OS X.
Don't forget that TPM allows recovering the keys by parties related to the Trusted Computing Group.

No, the intent is to show the public the current rulers are "tough on crime", children and citizens be damned.

some of those algorithms are deeply non-obvious without very specific mathematical background
Ie, cannot be expressed clearly by code names and structure alone.
If that's not obvious, it's a valid use for a comment. What is wrong are those "no shit, Sherlock" comments that pepper most code bases.
The best code doesn't need a single line of comment, because it's written clearly enough.

That's why it'd be better to call us Polacks rather than wood shine and the stuff strippers dance around.

A language is a dialect with an army and navy.

You're still thinking in Pascal. C should be 0th.
Let's see, have we seen MAFIAA's tentacles in action recently?
The one thing that annoys me is that 8% "Operating Cost" that is deducted from your donation. Seems a bit hefty to me
Credit card processing fees are hefty. Add legal costs that will surely follow, and you can expect this to go up not down.
