Yes, they both make sense. Alan didn't want to commit the patch favored by Linus because it may lock up. He does admit that the patch seems like the right solution at first glance, though. Linus then tells him that the current patch causes trouble with userspace apps and it's not because they'ra faulty but because another section of the kernel is. Alan never dealt with this part of Linux. So the problem really isn't the bug that Alan tried to fix with a solution Linus didn't like but another portion of code somewhere else.
Alan didn't realized that and tried to build a patch that works with the current (faulty) part, but Linus also didn't realize that Alan couldn't know the problem really lies somewhere else and got grumpy when Alan insisted on building a less elegant and obvious patch.
I don't know, maybe they will both cool their heads, sleep it over and play together again:-)
Well, LCDs may be silent but some backlights are pretty annoying. I returned a notebook because of that stupid high-pitched noise it would make. You could even play little annoying melodies on it by dimming the backlight.
"I have been concerned with the scene for years."
You don't need to DL a bunch of kiddie pr0n to study it nor do you do it without informing any police organisation before doing so, if only to prevent any mistaken ideas, much less prevent duplication of work and chasing down useless paths.
You know, the minister who's pushing the internet censorship law showed child pornography as "accommodation" before a debate. She got a lot of complaints for that but they didn't go anywhere.
Let's not overthink this. The other part of the deal is that she gets her own phone/PDA, something I'm not required to provide and most of her friends don't have. Make no mistake, I am the parent, and she is the child. It's not a transaction between two consenting adults.
But that's exactly what an oppressive government would do. They'd force you to carry around a bug and you get no say in it. They might tell you it's for your own good and whatnot but you probably wouldn't believe what they say. One can't force someone to trust one, especially not ones own child.
Also, this is a very serious invasion of privacy, something even children are entitled to. They might not rebel if they're 8 because they don't understand whats happening, but later they will, especially if the parent abuses the tracking system.
But communicating probably isn't enough, especially if parents force their children to wear a tracker. If they convince them to do so and accept a no it's okay, though.
And: Children probably don't care about their parent's location all that much, so it's not really a deal. IMO it would be good if the child chooses a one-time password and gives it to its parents. If they use it to locate the kid they'll need a new one. That way the kid can be pretty sure that the tracking system will only be used in emergency and not for watching every step it takes.
I do admit to being a little conflicted about the use of these devices, even after admitting that I use them myself. It's one of those things where I want the ability to know the location of my child should I need to, but would fight against the government having the same information. It's like having a home security system -- OK if it's mine, and it's me being notified, but not OK if my "home security system" is a government CCTV.
How do you make sure your child doesn't get used to being tracked? When they grow up they might think it's natural to have a GPS on their wrist and a camera in their home.
Try giving people the benefit of a doubt instead of forming a lynch mob and going on a witch hunt. Good night and good luck to all of us.
From TFA:
When I investigated this issue I couldn't believe my eyes. NoScript was extended by a piece of obfuscated (!) code to specifically target Adblock Plus and disable parts of its functionality. The issues caused by this manipulation were declared as "compatibility issues" in the NoScript forum, even now I still didn't see any official admission of crippling Adblock Plus.
Obfuscated code meant do mess with another extension? Sorry, no benefit of a doubt for the Noscript devs about that one.
There is coverage from other news sources...

...and it didn't happen today. Looks like Newsblaze wants a couple more pageviews or something.
I agree, Andromeda S1 and half of S2 were awesome. It felt like good old Star Trek but with bigger story arcs and deeper characters. And they basically got rid of the alien of the week. I loved that show and had really high hopes, but some network moron let Hercules and a bunch of new writers turn it into a mindless piece of action crap. I distinctively remember an episode where they just flew around in fighters and another which was basically a big magogg slaughterfest. Damn you Kevin Sorbo, damn youuuu!
I don't know, LuCI seems pretty good to me and is a good choice for people who actually know about the technical stuff but don't want to do everyting in the CLI. Basically, it's nothing more than a graphical add-on for uci (the OpenWRT configuration manager) that shows you what options are available and what they do. Oh, and the live network/CPU load diagrams are a nice touch too.
I'm aware of furry drama. I have a friend who is a furry and he lives communally in an apartment with other furries in which the roommates rotate every three months or so. Drama city, according to him.
Sounds awful. I'm sharing a flat with another fur since over a year now and, thankfully, there's no furry drama involved and it helped me moving out of my parents house:)
There's no reason to put scare quotes on self-esteem.
I know what self-esteem stands for, but thanks for summarizing anyway. I put the quotes there out of habit because, back in school, I heard that word way too often. Essentially, if you were a bully you'd get lots and lots of second chances and therapy, but if you were the target of their bullshit, well, you get told that you've got low self-esteem and that's it. That's why I'm still passively-annoyed (heh) when someone mentions self-esteem.
It is grossly cruel the way people treat furries (and emos).
It really isn't that bad, at least for furs. Sure, we get trolled and some people really take that personally, but that's all online. Now, offline, in the real world, it's not that bad really and those who protest furry conventions look way dumber and socially retarded than us. See for yourself:
Look at them, all alone in the rain. The dude in the lab coat, head of the convention, later went out to them to have a chat. They were very timid and unable to explain what they were doing (can't find the newspaper article, sadly).
At very bottom rung of the self-esteem ladder is furries. No matter who you are or what you are into, you will be accepted into a furry community. It's a great big love-fest over there.
I think you're right about most furs having or having had "self-esteem" problems, but the fandom's not a big love-fest, even if about 30% of newbies seem to expect that. We've got splinter groups like every other social group, probably more than average. There's a reason for us being known as the internet drama machine:>
Well, it may be a funny story at first sight, but don't forget that this stupid behavior by the bank (not the courier, banks shouldn't send critical information by normal courier) led to a serious data leak.
Thankfully, the cake was for the chief editor of a newspaper, so the credit card records didn't fall in the hands of someone who'd make a profit out of them.
And that's great! Assembler code is very close to the hardware you heard about in other courses and generally gives you deeper insight into the guts of a computer. Way better than these theory courses. And it can be used for fun projects with cheap microcontrollers.

I saw two pigs riding a nuclear bomb, ears flying in the wind.
He says that he needed the material to gain the trust of child porn vendors. This happened in 2007, but he hasn't thrown away what he got. See: http://daten.tauss.de/StellungnahmeTauss110309.pdf

It also looks a little like a James Bond movie intro ;)

Um, yay ^^
It is, that's why I felt like explaining the quotes at length.
Don't know, to me they seem like internet tough guys and seen-it-alls on steroids, at worst. Pretty harmless in real life in my opinion.

/b/tards and the like are bellow furries. They act all tough on the 'net, but look at them. Hope that wasn't too much chatter :>

Same folks as above I think

Dude, Latin, not French.
AFAIK Samsung uses the same coaxial plug for all their notebooks. What do you mean by standard power cable?
