the year of the Linux desktop is probably never coming.
Maybe. But installing Linux on a new desktop used to be a weekend ordeal. Now it's a 20 minute process (at least with Fedora) including the specialized nvidia drivers update and picking a new desktop wallpaper.
Backdoor access is typical and often necessary. For instance, iLO on HP or iDRAC on Dell. Or many things based on WS-Management, IPMI, etc. There's also stuff like reserved connections for superusers in Postgres, sqlplus prelim in Oracle, runlevel 1 in linux, and many others.
This is not a problem by itself as long as it's done properly.
10 years ago people were saying the same thing. The only thing that happens more frequently than the death of Slashdot is the year of the Linux desktop.
Whatever the reason, btrfs is not supported in production on RHEL. It has never been, it's always been in "preview" and will soon be out of the picture completely.
It's been going on for years so I would agree with the above that OpenZFS would have a brighter future.
We should be very concerned about fake news manipulating our elections, so any policy change that gives the market more power to resist fake news is something that we should support.
I agree. The old system was a way to divide and conquer. Now it will level the playing field
I also love your "I'm the center of the world" comment about "everyone" knowing she is in Russia's pocket. If you believe it, it must be a universal truth! Funny then that over 50 percent of voting Americans voted for her.
At the time those people voted, the biased media was doing all it could to hide this scandal so it's not surprising. But now they basically wrote her off so they're no longer shielding her with such ferocity, allowing everyone to finally see the ugly monster that lurks behind that mask of liberal values.
Let’s put the Uranium One scandal in perspective: The cool half-million bucks the Putin regime funneled to Bill Clinton was five times the amount it spent on those Facebook ads — the ones the media-Democrat complex ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump.
Pyongyang is 118 miles from Seoul. Kaesong is around 30 miles to the center of Seoul. So lets say that the assholes start shelling from near Kaesong. So we decide to nuke Kaesong. A 1 megaton will suffice. Whether an air or ground burst is to be determined, and terrain is a factor as well
Seoul isn't going to like that very much, because they gonna get irradiated.
With a neutron bomb this wouldn't be a problem. And it wouldn't take a huge one to cripple North Korea.
I'm not seeing any irrational leaders. There are no Kaiser Wilhelm's here. Pyongyang's chest thumping is as much for North Koreans' benefit as the US's.
You sir underestimate the power of the echo chamber.
As for me, I think I'm going back to a dumb-phone, or at the very least, switching to airplane mode whenever I'm not actively using the internet.
If you look at the F-Droid repo, you'll find plenty of open-source apps that can help you control this kind of thing. For instance: https://f-droid.org/en/package...
Ip address of phone downloading the unviewed ad. Or nearest fell tower. Browser fingerprinting and cookies do the rest.
The ip address, browser fingerprinting or cookies don't give the actual user location. As for the nearest "fell" tower, you don't get that information from ads.
There's the HTML 5 api but it will pop in your face telling you that XYZ is asking for your location.
So as it's indicated in the summary, the only context where this "hack" could work would be in native apps when the user has given permissions to get his location. If someone allows ad-supported apps to track them, they deserve to be stalked.
I think you're just voicing support for a Russian troll. They're very active on here
The whole "Russian masterminds posting divisive comments" is just a remix of "Russian masterminds hacking elections". There's no Russian conspiracy, there's a mainstream media conspiracy that uses Russia as a scarecrow to distract people.
Ask yourself: what *exactly* do Russians have to gain from all this? They already had Clinton in their pockets with their massive contributions to the Clinton Foundation, and they knew Trump wouldn't be their sworn enemy based on his comments during the campaign. This was basically a no-lose election for them.
So what's the agenda? Leading America to civil war via Facebook statuses? Creating social chaos using inflammatory tweets? For what purpose *exactly*? Confuse everyone so they can increase their stronghold on Syria or Ukraine without opposition? Distract Americans so they can sabotage missile bases and invade Alaska?
Seriously, it's time to move on with this shit. The Democrats and mainstream medias have been caught in bed together and have used the whole Russia thing as a red herring, there's nothing else going on. Just more evidence of the moral corruption of the DNC, New York Times and CNN.
Maybe you don't know him that well. I suggest to read this story from joelonsoftware:
Then I sat down to write the Excel Basic spec, a huge document that grew to hundreds of pages. I think it was 500 pages by the time it was done. [...] In those days we used to have these things called BillG reviews. Basically every major important feature got reviewed by Bill Gates. I was told to send a copy of my spec to his office in preparation for the review. It was basically one ream of laser-printed paper. I rushed to get the spec printed and sent it over to his office. [...] I noticed that there were comments in the margins of my spec. He had read the first page!
He had read the first page of my spec and written little notes in the margin!
Considering that we only got him the spec about 24 hours earlier, he must have read it the night before.
He was asking questions. I was answering them. They were pretty easy, but I can’t for the life of me remember what they were, because I couldn’t stop noticing that he was flipping through the spec
He was flipping through the spec! [Calm down, what are you a little girl?]
and THERE WERE NOTES IN ALL THE MARGINS. ON EVERY PAGE OF THE SPEC. HE HAD READ THE WHOLE GODDAMNED THING AND WRITTEN NOTES IN THE MARGINS.
In the majority of cases it is none of these, in cases where particularly egregious DRM schemes are used piracy can even be more convenient than trying to jump through the hoops they make to play the game legitimately.
New York to DC is about three hours by train; who cares if that gets cut down to 30 minutes?
Basically any person who has to travel from New York to DC on a regular basis. It may sound strange to you, but for most people out there time is valuable.
If he just takes it down to a depth that is extremely unlikely to hit anything ever put in from the surface or disturb any surface waters (necessary to avoid pumping like crazy anyway), there is little environmental impact that anyone cares about
This sounds like the premise of another high quality syfy movie
Slashdot Mirror
Apple and Oracle are in the same situation. They lost relevance a long time ago and are just milking their existing customers.
Stop giving money to those greedy corporations. If they starve maybe it will force them to get back to work and innovate for real.
What's just crazy is that you kept buying iPhones.
How do you do that? You only work during summer?
2006 called, they want their unreliable survey website back

BACKDOOR ACCOUNT TOO? WTF?? LOL! Not smart...

So many of us already use "gay" and "jew" as derogatory terms. Is it any wonder that Google's NLP picked up on that?
I personally consider "Google" to be a derogatory term. Unlike gays and jews, Google has a track record of being evil.
Are they going to fire their NLP framework? Or maybe drastic measures for behaviors that "are not ok" apply only to white males?

There shouldn't be different rules for "new" media and traditional ones.

Spin that any way you want, everyone knows by now that she's a corrupt pawn on the global russian chessboard.

I'm looking at their YouTube channel, a great way to uncover all the mysteries of that secretive company
