So they will protect gun rights but not privacy rights? Jerks.

I don't have a problem with syncing, so long as it is not turned on by default. I also wouldn't use it if it depends on iCloud.

I was recently reading about OS/8, which happened because I have become interested in SIMH, and I was surprised to see how similar some of its commands are to those from DOS (which in turn copied CP/M). It was interesting to see t

When I ran Plan 9 inside of VMWare Fusion, the one thing I missed was Readline/Libedit. I honestly don't know how people did without them.

I've never really understood Inferno. Sometimes it is described as something you run from a browse and others as a standalone OS. Which is it?

Disappointing. But that's Google these days.

Oh really? I seem to recall Ubuntu sending people's search results to Amazon. Why did they do that? They are a corporation and, thus, more concerned about money than freedom. My comment stands.

I think that if you are concerned about freedom, then you need to use an OS that is not controlled a commercial entity. OS X, iOS, Windows, Android, ChromeOS, and Ubuntu all have issues; even though some of them are open source.

Agreed. They should fight this patent, especially since Be Inc. had an online app store back in 1999.

Obscurity is a useful layer but any well designed security system should work without it.

I agree; it's even better than "think of the children".

They take every tool we give them and abuse it. Fuck the FBI.

They are not a US site so why would they concern themselves with the DMCA?

Evidently, money is more important that security.

Because there are a group of Linux users out there who are more interested in creating a desktop-OS than a Unix-OS. Honestly, at this point, why not rename SystemD to svchost.exe and set it up to use .reg files for configuration?

UAC was not that big of a deal. I used Vista and it hardly bothered me. I suspect most of the whining came from people not used to the separation of user and administrative privileges.

I've run it on desktops before, but currently, I run it inside a VMWare Fusion virtual machine

Speaking as a NetBSD user, I hope Pkgsrc issues a warning prior to installing software that sets exemptions via paxctl. I would want to know.

If it is, then it should be a crime to access unprotected wifi.

I do have to admit to being impressed by the boot speed of Arch under Systemd.

by Esau 10y ago
Systemd is useful; assuming your goal is to turn Linux into Windows. Personally, I would rather use a well crafted Unix system.

Am I the only one who dislikes the domain name itself? Every time I see it, I read it as "Clint One Mail", not "Clinton Email".

I liked playing with Twitter in 2009 or 2010. It was almost completely text based and it displayed timelines in a straight forward manner. But then they started to mess with it: link shortners, inline multimedia, the war on 3rd party Twitte

Exactly. Sorry if I wasn't explicit enough.

The real solution would be to require a human to certify the infringement complaint - no more automated requests.

Personally, I like to use Diceware to create random character strings. http://world.std.com/~reinhold/dicewarefaq.html#randomstring... I even bought a set of casino dice.

I would guess that the reason for this is that most smart phone makers have online music stores or streaming music services they would prefer to steer users to.
