The voice ruins it. For the real deal, just type "cat/boot/kernel/*" (in FreeBSD) or "cat/boot/vmlinuz". I actually do that from time to time, not sure why...
I think it may be Oracle that's left "twisting in the wind". Google is a huge target, but suing several dozen developers instead is probably not going to be nearly as easy or lucrative.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but what's the problem with allowing the browser to remember logins for you if you don't ever allow anyone else to use your computer?
The browser can be hacked; most of them have been at one time or another. Any data stored in the browser can potentially be retrieved by a third party. Personally, I consider memorizing a few passwords and their variants to be effort well-invested,
I'm reasonably sure the way my account was hacked was when I stupidly logged into it on someone else's computer.
So IOW since preventative measures are not adequate 100% of the time for 100% of users, screw it all?
I don't think so...
Interestingly enough, not one really tech-savvy person I know has complained of being hacked -- it's always the morons whose username is also their password, or who use "654321", or who insist on allowing the browser to remember their logins for them. For those people you're right, "what's the point?" -- for the rest of us though, such measures generally work pretty well.
Within our dataset of several million visitors, only one in 418,016 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
Using Opera 10.63 in FreeBSD 8.1, cookies and JS for whitelisted sites only plus using privoxy I get: Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 1,254,192 tested so far.
Obviously you don't watch TV or you'd know that nowadays the police have these people who will analyze all evidence down to the subatomic level and they will find out it was you.
I second the BB (and Mark's BBSSH). While iPhone, android, and WP7 people are kept running by one security issue after another the Blackberry OS soldiers on effortlessly, without hoopla or fart apps. It's the adult choice for people who want their phone to jump through hoops, rather than having a phone that makes you jump through hoops.
And yet just last week, a friend told me he couldn't make a filing with the Georgia Department of Revenue because "his browser was insecure."
Always a mistake to make a claim based on a second-hand anecdote. GA resident here, no windows in the house, no trouble with my state filing...
Just recently one of my Linux users was having a cow because she "couldn't log in" to an FAA site. "Only allows explorer", ahe said. Yet I logged in no problem to the same site with Opera on FreeBSD. People are stupid and helpless, that's why they need geeks to do everything for them.:)
What they need is a lean, mean, webkit-based browser that is like a lite version of Safari.
Why? You can run any browser you want in windowmaker. I recently went back to using windowmaker myself, and have to say it's really nice to use a wm that doesn't keep changing all the time, plus it's got to be *the* most configurable wm there is. Stays out of my way, everything works like it should. Install wmaker, wmakerconf, gmrun, terminal emulator and web browser of your choice, mc or worker, and that's your whole desktop right there. I think the only real reason people want a full-bloat DE is so they can clutter their desktops with silly doodads and not have to learn how to use the CLI tools.
It is not necessarilly a good idea to do everything in the browser.
That's an understatement! Unfortunately, in the future we will be doing pretty much everything in the browser if the ISPs and **AA get their way. Total lockdown is their "final solution", and they'll most likely get it. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I believe these are the good old days -- enjoy them while they last...
Very true. The really ironic thing is that the browser/mail-news-client they now call "seamonkey" was the original Mozilla browser and they actually spun off Phoenix (changed to Firebird, and now Firefox) to create a slimmer, faster browser!
The last really stable version of Firefox was called Firebird 0.7.
It amazes me that it's become so popular when it's such a horrible resource pig.
Were it not for the video downloader add-on I'd never use it at all.
Then again, most people are stuck using Windows, and Internet Exploder sets a mighty low bar...
I would never want to associate myself with someone so superficial that a simple fucking color change is this important to their buying decision.
So IOW you're so incredibly codependent that you actually imagine that the choices of others who merely use the same phone you do somehow reflects on you? If so, you're just the kind of knee-jerk simpleton marketers dream of!
Ever had to copy large files with Windows Explorer? Linux may have an IO issue compared to FreeBSD (for instance), but compared to Windows it totally rocks.
It's called fink and has been around for years. MacPorts is another package management system with a sizable repository.
What many people with no OS X experience fail to realize is that an OS X app bundle is just one way to get and use software on a mac. You can compile and run just about any GNU software on a mac, just as you can in linux. Maybe Apple will change that, but I doubt it. Most users will do things the Apple Way anyway, but one of the really nice things about OS X is you can use it like just another *nix as well, and Apple does promote that as a feature in its marketing.
I'm typing this on a Mac Mini (running FreeBSD), but still the MB Air seems like a lot of money to me for a netbook running OS X. Especially when you see how nice Ubuntu is (for n00b types, anyway) on a netbook that costs half as much or less...

Five years is *way* too soon. Who does Canonical think they are, Apple?
That's where the tuning foo comes in handy. But you're right, it takes a pretty high level of competence to successfully run ZFS, at least on FreeBSD.
Oh, for Pete's sake. The applehate dorks are really becoming insuferable.

So socializing leads to sex -- who knew?
No, I found another source where they managed to enhance the image of one of them and it really is a bubble.

No.

At least we can agree it's a "log".
