Why is he getting involved in this at all? We already have several companies working toward this goal. The only answer that makes sense is that he wants to fund those companies closest to him or his party.
The Debian installer must have changed since I last used it. I remember (3 or 4 years ago) I was prompted to create a root password and an initial user.
You mentioned it is a work computer. Have you considered backing up your files and re-imaging? If it's a work computer their licensing should accommodate that. I'd say you are already pretty far past the point where that common practice would take place.
Wow - And I remember being annoyed when the help desk would tell me rebooting my machine would fix any error I could encounter (you know - rather than fixing the problem.) Now the solution is to re-image
Through a combination of outsourcing, labor deregulation, union busting, and reductions in the US social safety net (welfare, unemployment benefits, and healthcare) corporations were able to impose longer working hours and lower pay, without the risk of strikes.
If all of the above were done, then it shouldn't be cheaper to hire from other countries. The problem is that the opposite of what you said happened and it became more cost effective to hire from outside the country.
Even now we hear cries for raising minuim wage and more vacation / health benefits - things like that are really suppose to make us more competitive to against other countries?
it's just common sense to make that information public to keep those guns out of the hands of more people and to enable police to confiscate those things.
It's just as much common sense to post a list of those who have AIDs, Herpes, etc that people can check before having sex with someone.
Doing so would save at least 1 life and that seems to be the bar on whether we should be able to take away a right from someone.
It's a safe bet. It's illegal to buy a fully automatic (non semi-automatic which the left seem to think is the same thing) gun but it is pretty easy to get a kit to convert your gun to fully automatic.
They will lose over cost and the fact that enough people have enough distrust of government enforced electronic/software for no one to want to rely on them.
How many articles do you read on slashdot that countries are refusing to buy US programs due to being afraid the US government is forcing forced backdoors in security?
You don't need gun locks on every firearm to be responsible. I don't own a single gun lock, keep all of them loaded and have never had a problem.
You need things like locks if you have kids and fail at parenting.
Guns sat loaded in the non-locking gun cabinet growing up and never had any issues either. Difference ? We were taught what they were and to give them the respect they demanded.
Exactly. If there is a home invasion, the last thing you want to be fumbling with is finding the key to the lock and then loading your firearm.
...or you can, you know, visit them at least once a week and take a peek in the fridge?
I know this sounds cold (and I feel like a jerk saying it), but there are times where it would be nice to be able to check stuff for our parents without the 3 hour visit. .
You know those 3 hour visits where 10 minutes goes to doing whatever needs doing and the rest is listening to them talk while they refuse to take any subtle clue that you are in a time crunch. Bonus time if they hate your spouse/friend/job/dog/whatever and want to tell you (again) the reason of the hate.
I got that he was mixing terms from different countries. But what did that have to do with this article other than to make a dig that the USA is the last conservative nation left (at least by European / Canada standards.)
In the US - which this article was was about, Hillary is very far left.
I don't recall in the Australia and Canada articles, a bunch of Americans jumping on the story claiming by US standards, the person was a leftist. You know why? Because it would not be relevant.
He didn't say that he wanted to keep a database of all born American Muslims. The reporter said that and - in typical Trump fashion -, Trump ignored the reporter and kept talking about what he wanted to talk about (the wall and databases on people coming over illegally.)
I'm Canadian, so I assume your snide reference to liberal would translate to "right wing nut job" up here since the Democrats look like our Conservatives.
I think you are correct assuming the post was referring to the American definition of liberal.
Here are a couple of clues for you:
The article is addressing American politics
It is posted on an American news site
The poster made no indication that they had changed the focus of the article to Canada
Where is this "good content"? I can't find it and, frankly speaking, would have no problem if all ad-sponsored business would disappear from the web tomorrow, including this site.
Kidding. I love my service with T-Mobile and see all of these binge services as a bonus on top of already good support (I know i sound like a schill. I think my extreme hatred of being with Sprint set up my next carrier to be my hero.)
What you wrote makes sense to me. I assumed that the reason for the unlimited content from them was that they were able to get those services to agree to send low-res content by default. I can just imagine the story that would come if T-Mobile took the other route and throttled all video/music.
I can understand that if someone say something to incite violence against someone else based on racial or religious grounds may be deemed as race speech
Like political cartoons that cause riots? We need to quit trying to "understand" and compromise these attacks on our freedom of speech, regardless of how "noble" we think their author's intent is.
Sure, banning incitement to carry out criminal offences is fine. But this "war" against hate speech has a bit of a sour taste to me. What's next, making it illegal to utter anti-democratic opinion?
Sedition is a criminal offense so it should be covered in what you define is "fine".
Do you see the slippery slope that starts once you start compromising on free speech?
And honestly, that is pretty normal. How many posts just on slashdot do you see the entire south labeled as racist, or all Christians as creationists, or all pro-lifers as people who want to murder abortion doctors?

Wait, Disney's IT workers had a collective bargaining agreement in place?
Oh right, guess not...
Well based on the summary, neither did IBM's IT workers.
Through a combination of outsourcing, labor deregulation, union busting, and reductions in the US social safety net (welfare, unemployment benefits, and healthcare) corporations were able to impose longer working hours and lower pay, without the risk of strikes.

It's there now but you need javascript to see it. I hope to see more articles that reference videos start doing this.
There is a middle ground. Mine is well out of sight and out of reach of my 2 year old but where I can get it if needed.
The default setting is on for MMS apps including the built in Google ones.
"but so long as one turns off auto-retrieving MMS files, you're in no danger from it"
The vast majority of people aren't going to do this.
The vast majority of people would not want to do this.

I need to bookmark this for when Julian Castro runs for president during the next go around

No it wasn't ... and I suspect you're not even making it in good faith.
Of course I'm not. I think the law is ridiculous and I am ridiculing it.
If you don't graps the difference between hate speach and opposing views you should perhaps refrain yourself from posting?
That was a hateful comment/attack you made.
See how easy it is to find yourself on the wrong side of censorship?

It isn't hard at all
Cool - go for it.

LOL - I really doubt this progressive professor agrees with you.
