Seeing Anthem is the main health care provider for Gov Officials up to and I believe including Congress, no wonder. Like many people believe, if a breach does not impact the "ruling class" nothing is real is done about the issue. Will be interesting to watch.
I have been thinking about the possibilities of this 'fight'. I suspect the outcome will be 'encryption licences' similar to Gun Licences, except encryption licences will be extremely hard to obtain.
You need to get a licence for a non-backdoored device, otherwise you get a device open to the Gov and anyone who can find the backdoor. Interesting times.
Probably true, I have been using open source since well before XP came out so I cannot confirm. But many/most 'computing idiots' have moved from windows to smart phones. Just look at security craziness occurring over that fence, both by the users and the companies selling/supporting these phones.
Or Slackware -- just about any distro would make a good replacement for most people, but the few times I did that, all I heard "not like windows, windows is better" and the whining begins:) Now I do not care what people want to run, just do not call me.
Wang VS OS with X, but that OS was so unique it really would have been impossible to port X to it, or almost anything from a UN*X system for that matter. So I would just take it ported to x86_64
Believe it or not there are people living outside of Calif:) Outside of range and expense, heat on a 2 hour drive in Minnesota in January. I doubt you would get far
Wish I had mod points -- That was the whole point of cable, I am old enough to remember the adverts on over the air TV stating that fact. I guess it was only a matter of time for the 'alternatives' to start ads, took longer that I thought. And the cable companies wonder why young people avoids TV:)
Ads are the # 1 reason I have a old phone without an internet connection. With very low mobile limits I refuse to pay for seeing ads. Yes I know wifi..... but that would force me to connect to what may be an unsecure connection when not at home.
I am a bit concerned about the statement on "libuncursed", which does not see to be in many distros. To me it seems the change is being made to cater to non UN*X systems and hoping to move away from curses. So given the way I read the articles, I would prefer UTF-8 and try to use 'standard' libs. This way data is easily moved between different system types and the change will still supported older under-powered hardware.
Big thanks to the developers. I find it very useful no matter how powerful the system (including very modern systems). Though nice, KDE and GNOME are too complex for me.
Yes, I remember those flame wars, but to me at the time it was UNIX against the world.
But having worked for years on minis with files names consisting of 8 characters [A-Z] and 1 level 'directories', I kind of miss being forced to use short file names like DOS had. Multi-level directories are cool though.
One pet peeve of mine is people creating file names like:
"this is a book of my whole life and everything i know.doc'"
drives me crazy:)
Interesting, years ago I had an old keyboard made by Wang (724) which I thought/think is the best. I decided to use it on a PIII and with in 1 month the motherboard went. I suspected it may have been the keyboard but could not prove it. So I think what you said about the 'M' power could very well happen.
DSL or cable depends upon your needs and where you live. I dumped comcast for DSL 18 months ago for DSL because the price of DSL is 15% of what I paid comcast. I have noticed no difference based upon my needs. Per speakeasy my download speed is 6.39Mbps (upload 0.8). So I guess I am ahead of the game, glad comcast/AT&T and all agree with my decision. So no need to go back to comcast since they reaffirmed my decision. (note: comcast is only cable provider in my area)

Shouldn't our government do something real about this ? Oh Wait, forgot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Where's the Wikipedia page about the issue ?
You have it backwards, integrate emacs into systemd.
now that is a war, who will integrate who, recursive integration anyone ?
Is flash's new motto "we try harder" ? Disappointed, flash has always been my favorite for # 1

real memory -- game uses 2gig ram, DRM 10gig ram
Congratulations to the NetBSD team, I installed 7.0 replacing 6.1 on my my B/U system without a hitch. So far all working very well.

If we can't discuss workarounds for it...
granted AC is trolling, but even this troll is better than reading about a bunch of millionaires crying about a bag of air :)
really? please elaborate because i havent seen them do anything insane in a decade plus
Eh, Secure Boot http://arstechnica.com/informa...
Who cares? Embrace your inner redneck and use y'all and all y'all

backup is already in place, as always the problem is getting it restored -- ie: 9-track tapes

actually NetBSD came directly from 4.3BSD, not from FreeBSD, both appeared around the same time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...
