On Linux, it also seems to be impossible to install chrome extensions without a Google account. At least open-source firefox doesn't require registration just to make use of its open-source extension code. Mozilla also works to protect users against extensions that aren't kept up-to-date..
That's just retail therapy for Larry, seeing as how his bid to buy the Los Angeles Clippers along with David Geffen and Oprah Winfrey was sub-par. He lost out to Steve Ballmer's more baller offer, for LA's long-time underdog team.
A *lot* of folks have switched to MariaDB, (and Postgres), quite some time ago already, and they seem very satisfied with their decision. I'm not hearing about any of their regrets either.
Age discrimination is a myth I tell you. Or else it would have been discussed on Slashdot before. Really./SARCASM. I'd try and structure a LMGTFY.com link for your benefit, but seeing as how you all are standing on my lawn...
Highly relevant but still slow newsday stuff. But hey, what about this VERY relevant NEWS instead(?), released on a Friday afternoon no less!: http://slashdot.org/submission...
What you call an impressive loophole seems to be modus operandi for these allied intel agencies. How is this any different than what has been revealed about cooperation revealed in the last year between the British GCHQ and the NSA?
While my Presidential document archival reference might baffle you, I did clarify that particular disk/document recovery referenced in TFA was actually *funded* and prioritized soon enough, at least in theory. Not all government hard disks are treated with such respect for their former contents, and in fact most are discriminated against as they get their contents securely wiped.
Conspiracy theory, much? Really? This is the U.S. Federal Government we're discussing and the taxpayer is kind of a legacy concern of theirs. No one was considering preserving anything on that particular hard disk, and presumably another part of the government I.T. dept. was responsible for backing up the emails, (and another part of the government was responsible for a verifiable audit trail,...and at some point the hard disk did what hard disks due in such circumstances), while yet another department merely wanted to re-use the %$#!@! hard disk.
Because of the gravity of the situation, someone did track all that down and there you have it....p.s. This is Slashdot and it is full of admins just doing their job to pay their rent. I'm not saying the situation is Kosher, but just so long as we can all agree on what is exactly Kosher well then, fine; otherwise everything is anyone's guess.
P.S. Whatever happened to G.W. Bush's Exchange server backups and recovery? That was a priority with a budget if I recall correctly. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
Have you considered a Fairphone to meet your specifications, which among many other redeeming qualities prides itself on its repairability, which includes being able to root your own phone whenever you want? So you can install CyanogenMod, or perhaps Jolla's Sailfish OS (that can also run Droid apps). It has a *lot* going for it, especially its designer's goal of staying out of the scrap heap as long as possible. About the only downside is the one attribute they didn't prioritize by design is being the fastest phone with the latest technology; but you must also consider the upsides when doing your own research to see if this is a good phone for you.
Gotta say, LUKS has worked for me since like forever. There's something else for OSX but I don't know what it is. The *only* advantage Truecrypt has over these, (except plausible deniability which is very useful), is being cross-platform.
Here's a photo and a description of a USB adapter for the purpose of charging phones without native wireless charging support.
If you don't own a supported device, you'll be able to purchase a tiny, inexpensive receiver "ring" that plugs into your phone and lets you toss it onto the pad for recharging.
Totally anecdotal, but I've noticed standing behind a lot of people while waiting in line to reach a cashier lately, how many iPhone users are pecking away at completely shattered displays! Obviously they placed it in their pocket to damage it this way, and can't afford to replace it either. Considering how many I've seen lately, I'd shy away from iPhone for this reason alone.
disclosure: My Nokia N9 is aging, but still plenty sexy and bulletproof, and it runs Linux too.
But you can root those devices too, and then you will be able to impress all of the cool kids plus all your maties too with your cool aaarrrggghhhPhone (rPhone trademark pending, but we're talkin' pirates after all).
Good point. Also, actually using wood for construction, (instead of just burning it up), is a way to store carbon. In fact if you look at the diversion of resources to make plastic, steel, etc., vs. putting more effort into this wood-fiber technology, this could be a good method to help curb greenhouse gasses.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to educate me on something that clearly I needed to be educated on. I appreciate your consideration and effort very much AC.
Wow, I can't believe my original post got down-modded to a zero. Regardless, I'll clarify per your request.
Google is an advertising company that at-minimum aggregates, so I trust them less than OpenDNS with my DNS service. Simple as that. But especially since OpenDNS has made clear they are a security company and they don't want to mess with those profits, while advertising actually messes with the stated mission of theirs and they want to completely jettison it now, hence their recent changes made public now in the TFA.
I like OpenDNS as a free security service, and I like them even more for the recent changes they've made. There. I said it again. Mod away. I can handle it.
Disclaimer: I am only a user of their free DNS service, and have never registered with them.
I like the OpenDNS free service, because compared to everything else out there I know of for doing the same job, they suck less than all other options.
Using my ISPs, or VPNs, Google's, or having to roll my own all suck even more.
Let's hope they ask us cyclists what we think about the technology too. As a native Southern Californian, far, far too often news of another casualty happens, and to me it seems this technology would only be an improvement, from the cyclist's perspective. I am more willing to trust it than the drivers who are prone to texting a lot, fiddling with their doohickeys and everything else but paying attention.
If cyclists had a choice to ride on a road with only these automated units vs. one as used by car drivers now, it might open up newer types of roads that are shared better and more safely; and it would be popular too I think.

You weren't running MySQL on Linux before? It doesn't seem like it, so I think I understand one aspect of your migration issues.

It isn't as if another version was already submitted earlier, perhaps with a better summary for the editors to use:

Yes, please. Submit a link so we can see the shark being served for ourselves or it didn't happen.

It uses a GSM SIM card, so it'll work on T-mobile worldwide as you require. I've held one and it's plenty classy in the hand.

I am seeing so many tiers in there, my eyes are bleeding profusely.
Well okay but, how did they manage to email 80mb files successfully in the first place? That's a corporate I.T. feat right there.
Excellent point and I wish I could mod you up.
