I think that only happens in the crazy wild world of the USofA. Elsewhere, it's reasonably obvious that you can't sue people when your own creation starts spreading itself.
I wasn't aware that Murdoch limits his political interference to only one location. How foolish of me to assume that Murdoch has his fingers in lots of pies and operates in more than one country at a time.
By the way, I live in the UK and Germany is not "thousands of miles away".
Lack of evidence of consumer relevance is not the same as evidence of lack of consumer relevance. I'm not necessarily for or against GM technology, but I think that new ways of producing food should always be aligned with consumers' interests.
They could produce articles that are worth reading and thus get ad revenue when people go to read the full article. Or they can continue reporting whatever policy Murdoch wants to push that day.
That doesn't sound like full disk encryption - they're only protecting "data at rest". I'm also concerned that a user's device passcode wouldn't have enough entropy (never mind the ease with which you can shoulder surf an iPhone user).
AFAIK, IOS doesn't have full disk encyrption and I don't know what you're on about with the "hardware only encryption key derivation algorithm". I just don't see how a phone OS is going to be more secure than a full OS with proper full disk encryption (e.g. LUKS).
Or, possibly someone is sniffing around for unsecured vnc traffic, spots yours and sets up packet sniffing for the next time you use it and gets your cleartext password. So easy it could be automated and thus most likely is.
"Militant Buddhism" - now I've seen everything! I don't know how they can follow Buddhism whilst carrying out violence as I thought that non-violence is kind of their thing.
It amazes me that they can fight for the cause of non-attachment. It's like fighting for peace or screwing for virginity.
I would if I knew any. I know they had a civil war and the Tamil population were decimated, but I didn't know that Buddhism was a cause of that. After a quick reading of the Wikipedia page, it looks like several Buddhist temples were targeted and destroyed which is naturally going to upset people, but I don't think you can blame the conflict on Buddhism (not that I know much about that conflict).
Seems like a very bad idea to me. You'll have trouble creating a JBOD device without connecting all the drives simultaneously. Also, you're basically increasing the chance that the entire JBOD volume will be broken as the number of drives goes up. If you've got one drive failing, you'll be lucky to get any data back at all.
To my mind, Bacula would be a good choice as you can set up virtual tapes that will correspond to the drives and you can set the backup to wait for the operator to swap over the drive and then continue the backup. Also, once you've got Bacula installed and working, it's easy to do incremental backups and thus not need to write out the whole dataset again.
I'm currently a Brit Virgin user. AFAIK the throttling mainly happens after you use too much daytime (peak time) data. I got a letter from them once asking me to reduce my data usage during the day, so I just adjusted Transmission to switch to full speed overnight.
I quite often see torrents downloading at 2-3MB/s when going full speed which is plenty fast enough. Ultimately, the ISPs know that torrenters are good customers who are willing to pay for greater speeds, so they shoot themselves in their feet if they start screwing with the service too much.
I agree with you (chronic torrenter here), but it does make sense to mark torrent traffic as less important than other traffic. It makes little difference if a torrent is slowed down due to peak network demands, but you don't want a Skype call to fail.
I'm with Virgin Media and they will throttle you if you use too much bandwidth during the day, so I set up transmission to run full speed overnight and throttle down during the day.
I'd like to see some kind of QOS that lets torrents be marked as less imortant than http/https, but I don't want ISPs to enforce really slow torrent speeds all the time - just at peak times.
There's so many ways to hose a system that's it's not worth trying to prevent them all. Would you change "dd" as it's easy enough to use the wrong output device? "rsync" can just as easily hose a system as "rm".
Typically, the analogue of helmet or seat belts would be to have a backup and not run things as root unless necessary.
Isn't the big money in the performances, though? Concert tours can bring in a lot of money and don't forget about all the merchandising. The recordings aren't where the big money is.
I'm only a peco-vegetarian myself - I eat fish and seafood, but "nothing with a face" (i.e. no land animals). The inclusion of seafood makes it a lot simpler to replace any missing nutrients. Eggs are also a premium protein source that a lot of people forget about (although not available to vegans).
What I've recently found far more difficult is removing gluten from my diet (there's a link between my psoriasis and gluten sensitivity). When I go shopping, it seems that the Western diet (Indian and Thai food seem to use far less wheat) includes gluten/wheat in just about every packaged food possible. Nowadays, I tend to plump for meals of fish and fresh vegetables; maybe I'll be adding a sprinkling of roast woodlouse to my meals in future.

Idiot!
If you purchase something, then you are free to do what you will with it (as long as it's not hurting someone else).

I get your point, but it is possible for an OS to use append-only media that can be used for tamper-proof logs.

Just tunnel through SSH and you're good to go.
Sushi: the food that keeps you full for longer
Pro-tip: Never base an opinion on something you read in the Daily Mail. Never forget how much they supported the Nazis until the start of WWII.
You should be safe drinking litres of homeopathic colloidal silver as it's statistically not going to contain any silver at all.
Yes, but only until you put in something combustible - like a person smoking a cigarette.

How about Buddhism? That's not nearly as stupid as other religions and is definitely not violent.
Repeat after me:
Raid is not a backup
And RAID 0 is never used for reliability as it has no redundancy - the more disks, the higher chance of failure. You must have meant RAID 1.
