Too bad it's all snake oil.

I don't work for the AP so I will continue to capitalize it.

"capitalizing Internet was still justifiable at the time" Given the Internet is a particular thing, shouldn't it still be used as a proper noun?

I remember the Nextstep/Openstep days, as I owned a used NextStation. IIRC, those were called quadfat binaries.

My wife was commenting the other day, when she noticed a photo of the iPad Pro 12 with the Smart Keyboard, that Apple should make a touchscreen laptop that would let people install either Mac OS or iOS. I don't personally know if such

Although I generally dislike custom connectors, I have to admit to liking the Magsafe connector on my Macbook Air. But the idea of a universal charger holds appeal too.

Timely link, as I have been reading about Gnupg that last couple of days. I will say that I feel its use is a bit complicated, but I did find a nice guide at Riseup: https://riseup.net/en/gpg-best-practices

I don't believe the hunger strike will go well as the military will simply force-feed her. EDIT: I don't know why I am being downvoted. Gitmo has shown that the military is more than willing to force-feed someone.

I remember this essay fondly because, at the time, I was using BeOS. Seems so long ago now.

My god, I love Europe, but they have some of the most brain-dead results when it comes to decisions that affect the Internet.

I pretty much listen to anything but lately, I have been listening to soundtracks. Today, in honor of Star Trek, I broke out Star Trek II: Wrath Of Khan. BTW: James Horner died too young.

This is an example of a market not being served. I would love to own a nice, hi-definition restoration of Star Wars.

Then maybe we need a more defined term? Something like 1st-party backdoor vs 3rd-party backdoor?

I'm still going to buy an iPhone; just not the 7. Since I generally keep my phones for three years, I will have plenty of time to see how this plays out in the market.

This is why there needs to be a law requiring sellers to support their DRM systems for a required number of years (after last using it making a sale). Either that, or require them to unlock the DRM for affected customer. As it stands now, s

I suspect the adapter will be annoying and easily losable.

I am also a big fan of digital comics. I have an account of Comixology but I limit myself to the DRM-free books. Luckily, most of the comics I buy are from Image Comics and Fantagraphics; and they offer their books DRM-free.

Plus, some people don't want Bluetooth on. Like me.

To me, the biggest problem with this move is that you can't charge the device and listen to music with corded headphones at the same time. Unless there is some option I am unaware of. In any case, I just decided to replace my iPhone 5

To me, the only enticement of torrenting a movie is that it will be DRM-free. Please note that I don't mind DRM when used in streaming but I find it onerous when I "purchased" something.

I spent this past weekend reading about Heat Death Of The Universe and Black Dwarf stars.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Seems to me that it should be renamed.

Given the processing power of modern computers, I have always been surprised that operating systems haven't moved to vectors for all user interface elements. You would think this would be desired for resolution independence, if nothing

I assume: in that GNU will continue to provide hosting and mailing list resources.

Out of curiosity, can you share what platform/file system you generally use? I had assumed inodes would not be an issue with modern operating systems; especially 64-bit ones.

When I set up NetBSD, I create /, /usr, /var. /tmp, and /home. I have never create a /usr/local partition but I can see value in it is you want /usr itself to be read-only.

I like having separate partitions (or slices) for everything. The guy who introduced me to UNIX did it so he could mount certain filesystems "ro" or "noexec". He also told me that partitioning can help avoid inode exhaus

Interesting. I've been considering doing this but, frankly, have been too lazy to implement it. But if you are using a password manager anyway, what's one more field?
