While I think this lawsuit and the court's decision are absolutely bonkers and the right to privacy is somewhat curtailed in a public setting (such as in markets, parks, bus/train terminals etc), I do think everyone has a right to privacy (for instance in their homes, in private gatherings, in personal communications, etc).
I, for one, would hate it if someone were constantly snooping on me while I was sat in my home minding my own business, won't you?.
As a Shi'ite Muslim, I find your drivel extremely offensive...
As a Pakistani Shi'ite Muslim, I think you need to get institutionalised before your paranoia makes you harm some innocent people based on your notion of what religion they adhere to.
Additionally, but equally importantly, you sound exactly like the terrorists you are so angry at or afraid of (and apparently you don't realise that Shi'ites, despite being a different sect, are also Muslims).
I definitely do not like Systemd but there is absolutely nothing wrong with MySql unit files in Ubuntu (typing this on Kubuntu 15.10 with Kubuntu 16.04 running in a vm under virtual box, both the guest and the host have the complete LAMP stack running)...that user was either trolling or had no idea what they were talking about and were rightly buried.
Dont get me wrong, I like XFCE but it is not very convenient when used with a multi-monitor setup. After each restart, I had to manually tweak the panel on the second screen to make it display where I wanted it displayed with the applets I wanted in the panel. With KDE, that is not an issue and although KDE is not perfect either, it keeps forgetting the positions of application windows, compared to XFCE it is a lot more convenient.
Also, I haven't noticed any lag or low responsiveness on my primary laptop with an Intel 4700qm processor, 16GB ram, 500GB mSata SSD (aftermarket), 1TB HDD, Intel 4600 graphics (I think) or on my very old (from 2007) laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo 7200 processor, 2 GB ram, 120GB HDD and Intel integrated graphics. The new laptop actually boots up in under 30 seconds (and that too with the boot sector on the 1TB mag HDD) and even with the SSD, was just over $1000. I normally have Netbeans, a bucketful of tabs in Firefox and Chromium and GIMP (or a Windows 7 instance in VirtualBox with Photoshop) running on the current laptop (or if I am using the older laptop, Netbeans and dozen or so tabs in Chromium or Firefox with GIMP).
Most cheap laptops being sold these days ($350 to $500) are at least as powerful as my old laptop so could you please elaborate the conditions under which you experience lag with KDE? I would honestly like to know the workload which causes KDE to become a stuttering mess (so I can avoid it if at all possible).
Anything with ajax is going to break and since most web-apps use ajax (for everything from updating content to loading new content), you would not be able to use almost any web apps. You should technically be able to view most websites (albeit with slightly reduced functionality) with JS disabled but even that is not guaranteed and with the way things are going, I doubt there will be any maintained websites functioning without JS in a couple years time. You can hate it all you want but the writing is on the wall.
There are multiple reasons for this but the most important one (afaict) is that most people who want a website want something similar to google/ms/yahoo services with lots of ajax and subtle animations (fade ins, fade outs etc) for as little money as they can get away with. If you quote them $2000.00 for a properly done website (where the website functions properly in the absence of javascript), they'll go to the competition without a second's hesitation and since developers need to pay their bills (who doesn't?), they pretty quickly realise they have to cut every corner they can to keep their costs down in order to make some money when they get paid after they have paid their bills. People can get on their high horses all they want but at the end of the day, when these people go to get a website created, they opt for the cheapest option available.
and for conservatives, the mantra appears to be: "why fix something that has always been broken...it was broken in the times of our ancestors and we'll fight till the bitter end to keep it broken for our children's children"
Hi, any chance one of those laptops was a HP envy with an insyde firmware? I've already tried swsusp, uswsusp and tuxonice along with trying various quirks modes and changes to various config files to no avail. The system always reports that it hibernated successfully but randomly throws a kernel oops on resume. It happens often enough that hibernation is unusable. I have kubuntu 15.04 with the 4.0.4 kernel. Any help/pointers will be appreciated
Forget adding a server, try adding an NTFS mount line to fstab on a dual booting setup, hard reboot from windows (8.1 in my case) and watch systemd drop you to a shell with root privileges with no hints on what's gone wrong. Compare that to upstart which actually tells you exactly what's gone wrong and gives you an option to skip mounting the offending drive
In order to do that, you need to be aware of your rights. The people who are effected by this practice the most are usually uneducated laborers from developing countries (such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc). Most of these people come from extreme poverty led on by dreams of a better future and are unaware of their rights. Add to this the fact that the staff at their respective embassies is more likely than not to treat them like dirt instead of being helpful and the abuse these people receive is not surprising. Also, all of this is made worse by the fact that many of these people have paid sizable (for them) amounts of money to agents/brokers to secure these 'jobs' and are reluctant to return home with nothing to show for the investment. The people doling out the abuse are aware of all these factors and take advantage of the situation as much as they can. It is very rare for citizens of developed nations to get mistreated because they are usually aware of their rights, their embassies look after them and any rights violations can spark an international incident.
Since this device does not fit your use case, it does not imply it is useless for everyone out there...While I'm personally much more interested in desktop replacement laptops (which is what I'm currently typing this on), I know several people who are very interested in this class of machines.
The ~$2000 Clevo laptop would be great for gaming or as a desktop replacement system. It will, however, not be an ultra-portable. What with weighing roughly 4kg and a battery life of around 3 hours when surfing the net or around 1.5 hours when under load, I think most people would prefer not to lug it around with them, a better example would've been a Razer Blade but that seems like overkill if all you're going to do is surf the web or write reports on it.
As for a tablet, try compiling a report on a tablet, you can pick whichever OS you want. I don't have any experience with pulling my teeth with pliers but I imagine compiling a report on a tablet's touchscreen or on a flimsy keyboard would probably be more painful. It shouldn't be very hard to imagine a scenario where someone might need to compile a report while travelling or is the only use-case of why someone could possibly need an ultra-portable that you can think of is browsing the interwebs?
And now on a serious note, what's all that about comparing stealing a car and shoplifting to piracy at the beginning of pretty much every movie you buy on DVD/Blu-Ray? Clearly they're not the same thing so why are copyright holders trying to obfuscate the issue and guilt the public into doing what they want?
If the copyright terms enforced the copyrights for a reasonable period of time (for instance 5-10 years maximum) and it was a level playing field, a lot of the objections would go away. As it is, copyright terms are not granted for reasonable periods of time (for all intents and purposes, we have perpetual copyrights) and the behemoths making the most noise about copyright infringement don't care about smaller parties' copyrights (violating copyrights, issuing blanket DMCA takedowns). It is not surprising that most people don't care about what the behemoths have to say and what their position on copyright related issues happens to be.
The use of 'them' and 'they' as ungendered singular pronouns goes back centuries and using gendered pronouns when you are addressing a cross-gender audience is just plain wrong. Also, instead of 'he', 'you' could've been used and to top it off, the sentence could've easily been structured to not contain any pronouns.
Try reading some books some time, English has many nuances that your kindergarten teacher never taught you and thinking of what you were taught as unbreakable rules is, imho, naive.
their logic is that if you use any gender specific pronouns you are, by default, misogynistic?
It's one thing to accidentally use gendered pronouns in documentation but resisting when someone else tries to fix the documentation (Alex) and trying to roll back the change when someone else (Isaac) accepts it, makes the person throwing a tantrum (Ben) either a dumb prat or a sexist, take your pick. Either way, the person in question is not an asset I'd want on my project team.
Also, if you think this was an issue where Joyent were in the wrong and going against community wishes, have a look at the comments on the github merge request, the overwhelming majority of people want the merge request to be accepted, so who exactly wasn't listening to the community? Hint: it wasn't Joyent...
Doubtful, from the looks of it, it's just a means to sort the email into logical constructs with a new interface twist. It should not effect the back end of how the emails are stored on the server side but i guess we'll have to wait and see...
The categories are automatically created, you don't have to create them manually and the emails are supposed to get sorted into their respective categories automatically without the need for creating a filter. Maybe a bit like what Google did with tabbed inbox but with a different interface that some people might like better

Left? You mean to tell me that the right has never used 'Think of the children' for scaremongering to push asinine laws through?

The link in TFS is either broken or was taken down. The wordpress blog it points to is displaying a customized 404 error page.

While i really like the idea behind Inbox, I honestly wish they'd added some rich text controls to the gmail app instead.

I think more likely explanation is someone declared the data type in the DB as int(11) instead of int(11) unsigned.
