Too bad regarding KDE. (I did try current KDE Neon in a VM briefly, well I don't like the default theme and fonts much...)
No kidding, KDE seems to go out if it's way to use the ugliest and the most 'eye burning' theme in existence. I suspect their main supporters are optometrist
I like KDE, but it took me a very long time to get colors and setting to the point were I can use it without eye strain for 5 hours. Gnome3 is terrible to use but their theme is like getting an eye massage:)
Yes and it is a real shame they tried to bleed as much as they could from their user base. If they had opened up their library things may very well be much different.
The ACA celebrated Vermont's net neutrality delay, claiming that it "will allow continued innovation and investment while these deliberations continue."
What innovation, determining a better way to 'launder' money to State Reps ? I saw a posting here, since NN was ended, infrastructure investment fell quite a bit.
Well that is one way to get people use to paying subscriptions, start charging for upgrades on a yearly basis for an OS people seems to love and throw in a subscription to Office cloud
Sounds like a method of getting rid of all the old people working there, then in a year or two will say they failed and hire young people. Sounds like a good plan to avoid all those pesky US regulations.
What a dumb article, it is like saying "Red Spots on your skin is the cause of measles, so do not get red spots"
There are many causes of poverty, Dollar Stores are a symptom. No money is the cause of Poverty. Without a living wage how can one afford to shop elsewhere
I would love to see this put in motion, but with the political climate in the US, not going to happen. The fights over NASA funding has been happening since 1970 and I doubt NASA will ever get decent funding.
My guess is China or possibly India will have a better chance of accomplishing that than the US
First of all the cracker will need to get the password hashes, if that can be done I think you have more issues than an 8 character password. I cannot comment on how to get windows password hashes (have not be on it in well over a decade), but on a properly locked down and encrypted modern Linux/BSD getting shadow is almost impossible.
At work we are being moved to a minimum 15 character PW which is changed it every 90 days, all I can say is I am real glad I do now work on corporate help desk. 90% of they time the will be getting calls about forgotten passwords. yes people can use sentences but you know as well as I do that is not going to happen for over 80% of the users
yahoo, first of all who used their real name and address when creating their email address ?
Second I am far more worried about the Equifax breach. That company got away with far worse than what Yahoo did. Equifax should be paying for 20 years of credit checks plus full restitution if your identify is stolen.
But nice, will be fun seeing how the 25 cent check is mailed to:

Ask yourself why would VW decide to create 1000 more jobs in TN instead of Germany or perhaps California?
No Unions and benefits are much cheaper for companies since they can be skimped upon. Plus pay is less due to a low cost of living compared to CA/Germany.

True, I have not used windows in any fashion many years, including work.
But RHEL (my work workstation) is on the auto-update bandwagon. For the last few updates DRI had to be disabled (no hardware acceleration in X) on some machines until the a recent update. This fix was applied due to the bluetooth vulnerability that happens a year or two ago. So far not anywhere near as bad as windows, but the big distros seem to be moving in the same direction also
No I did not know about 'noht', thanks
I have not been paying attention kernel/parms flags since the 1.x days, never needed to compile a kernel since then.:)
If you care about security, don't run intel, or disable Intel's insecure SMT implementation.
Correct, OpenBSD defaults to disabling SMT and they stated some hardware there is no option to disabled SMT. So having an option in Linux to disabled SMT is probably all that is needed. Seems Linux is jumping through hoops to fix hardware issues that seem to never have an end.

Wish I had mod points
comments like this keeps me coming here
It does not come 'free' with the PC/Laptop. Even though they will need to pay eventually (upgrades/subscriptions) people still see it as free.
Well today would probably crash their system.
That is it, I am done. Now where is my 286 ?
You need a score card to keep up with thier laws these days. I thought VPNs were outlawed in Russia and you had to use the state sponsored one
systemd? Never heard of it! Does it replace Emacs?
No, it is the one object that is able to absorb Emacs

hummmm, from the people who brought us flash. I think I will stick with Intel, thank you very much.

Does it still have "ME" ? If so can it be fully disabled ? If disabled can it be validated ?
If not, "Thanks but no thanks"
Nah, singleplusgood

People still use sodium chloride as a deicer?
No worries, with Climate change this is a short term problem. Maybe only needed for another 50 years or so.
