I decided why not change the passwords, been a while anyway, 2 of the 3 sites I care about still do not allow what they call 'special characters' (!@# - etc). In this day an age I would think those restrictions would lifted. One day I will try UTF-8 or UNICODE characters and watch the fireworks at the sites. I do not do on-line banking and I have no incentive to start after seeing some finance sites will only accept US English letters and numbers for PWs.
True enough and I agree, but the original purpose of the tax is to maintain roads. Eventually as electric cars become more popular, some kind of tax should be applied to electric autos so they will not get a free ride. Also one other potential concern, in the summer in the US, electric usage peaks due to A/C were there are rolling brown outs and blackouts. Once there are many tens of thousands of these on the grid recharging in a small area, how will that be handled? Would me as an electric customer be charged more to subsidize these autos ? Thus a double subsidy (gas tax/electric use).
Sometime in Jan or Feb 2014, MS should send a patch to XP with a nag popup. The popup will state "XP End of Life April 8, 2014. Please upgrade or you will loose internet connectivity". The number of times this popup appears increases the closer you get to Apr 8. Come April 8, all ports on XP are closed permanently.
This illustrates why Open Source OSs are preferable to closed OSs. With Linux/*BSD... one can, if desired and have the knowledge, patch it themselves if they need to run a very old release of a system.
I think the hardest part of the install is disk partitioning, if you opt for a full install you will have a fully functional working system. All you need to do is run useradd after the install and your are ready. Anyway I understand what you mean by 'useto', for me I am very much use to Slack and haven't tried a different distro in a very long time:)
blacksmith ? You had a blacksmith. Back in my day we would have to take over a village, group people in sets of 8. Hands at the side was 0, hands raised was 1. Bit complement was always fun to watch
Well I entered in "Go to my office and look at the post-it on my terminal" and it said that will take "4.97 hundred billion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion centuries"
Many of the arguments here points to the fact having a lot of choice is good. Seems proprietary OSs these days are fast are accelerating towards 'walled gardens'. For instance, I am still using a GUI interface I have been using for well over 15 years, but now on a 64 bit Linux. There are some worry some trends in Linux regarding to GUI interfaces, but for now and for quite a number of years, I will still be able to use that ancient interface on modern Linux systems. So, no matter what the distro you use, it is not too difficult to change to a different Window Manager or Desktop if you really want to.
Do you know anyone who worked prior to 1910 ?
When I was young I did, maybe you would enjoy your 16 hour days, 6 days a week, no paid time off, work to you die, no paid sick time, loose your job, you starve environment. Seems with your "fire / hire" statement that is were you want to go to. Me I would prefer other solutions then 'fire and hire at a lower rate'. That would end up becoming a never ending cycle until we are back to 1900.
That is my concern, I do not come close to 250g a month, but seems people will start paying to see ads in the near future. Also, once limits are imposed, they seem to slowly shrink over the years. Easy enough to block some ads but may end up in a arms race similar to email and spam:(
I would want a refund for any ads eating bandwidth and I will call the ISP if I ever start approaching the limit
I agree, I have been thinking the same thought for quite a while. Did not know about the migration, but I believe most of the population in Siberia are closer culturally to China/Mongolia that Russia. I almost think that area has a greater potential of nuclear war than any other place in the world. Esp as resources get hard to come by and with its Arctic Sea border, oil comes into play.
probably because that is the default for openssh, at least for version 5.1p1, of course that is no excuse:) one should change the defaults to suit their needs
see sshd_config:
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with # OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where # possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a # default value. . . . #PermitRootLogin yes
I think another part of his thinking is M/S Office, which I believe where most of their profit comes from. when someone buys a mac my guess is they pick up M/S office, which means $ for M/S. Not and option for the other OS's. Obviously M/S is to blame for that, but right now that is the reality of their situation.
If I remember correctly, the reason for this was to ensure a letter sent to a rural area would cost the same as sending it to New York City. I was quite young when the USPS was created in 1971 and at the time most of my older relatives worked there. So that was a major topic of conversation among my relatives for almost a year.
The US Federal Gov had real fears that fully privatizing the PO would cause it to fail as a business and the cost of send/mail a letter to/from a rural area at best would be quite expensive, or maybe even impossible. They believed private competing companies would concentrate their business in population centers, completing ignoring rural areas.
1971 was a much different world than now, and a lot of business relied upon the mail service. Leaving an area without cheap mail (or no mail) service could have caused greater poverty.
I'm one of those holdouts who still use paper checks, envelopes, and stamps to pay my bills
FWIW, in the US you get federal protection when using the Post Office / first class mail. Not use what (if any) legal protection you get using the WEB for paying bills

my only printer is a FX-100 and I use NetBSD on an AMD-K6 333 mhz as a backup system
now I wish I had mod points, should be 'funny'
