What kind of moving goalpost is that? Chrome 1.0 came with Incognito built-in. Safari had it for three years. Because there may have been a plugin for Firefox a few months before Chrome's release, and followed IE in shipping it, it&#x2

Ok, you got me. What I said was nonsense, taken literally, I was being lazy; you're right, Chrome's heavily multithreaded too. But, there is process-level separation both between tabs/browser contexts with information of diff

This was a hostage situation. Was the 5 year old boy, not a hostage to his crazed, gun-wielding mother in this standoff? I love Monday morning quarterbacks.

Roll your own android? What a stupid statement. How about airgap every website you visit by buying a new computer? I hope there's an invisible ;) in there somewhere.

Yep, Webkit dates to 1998, and Firefox (2002) was such a radical departure from Mozilla suite it's more than a little ridiculous in 2016 to handwave Chrome (2008)'s advantages as "greenfield." Microsoft just released a b

It's been my experience over the past couple of years dealing with ugly web-apps that abuse JS, have huge DOMs, thousands of tiny images etc., that such abominations (hacks) will run reasonably well on Chrome while verging on unusable

I see your point, but they don't leapfrog Chrome in privacy when the browser is pwned and leaks its entire process state to an attacker. Any browser is a massive, rich attack surface with bugs, but Chrome has been cutting edge in its s

I subscribe to Ting and I'm happy with it. But, while very good, it's far from unique. I came in from another Sprint MVNO that was very good but slipping in value proposition. An MVNO is almost by nature a precarious thing. Major

Love Canal is not a city, it's a neighborhood of Niagara Falls, roughly 16 acres of the worst of which is fenced. Since the toxins have been buried probably nothing would happen unless you went digging around the soil and eating with d

You've given one example; SELinux. Did wheezy ship with SELinux enabled? No. So how is that a step backwards? It would have been a step backwards if they shipped with it enabled and it was half-assed. SELinux is notoriously hard to get

Or Salt? All that and simple YAML flavor by default. I mean, nice work, but I don't see any holes in the ops space that this fills, and there's already a proliferation of tools solving the same problem. I like that the MIT license

You didn't look at the giant photo of Milk in his naval officer's uniform under the headline in the linked article? He served voluntarily under commission in the Korean War. You're going to need better than a bald assertion

Emacs unexec is mature (by decades), ported to 11 operating systems. CRIU is Linux-only, more or less experimental, and not included in mainstream stable distros. Does that answer your question?

Oh cut me a break. The glibc "community" consists of a cabal of developers who won't fix broken for good reason and break userland for bad reason all the time, admit no wrong, and bring gaping security holes to entire platfor

Besides local iptables you can forward the port at the firewall level. Many people (myself included) have observed failed ssh logins going from many thousands daily to on average zero just by changing the port on a netfacing server. Of cour

Hydrogen is low energy density and next to impossible to contain or transport without lossage. These are major barriers to commercial adoption absent a breakthrough, laying aside the problem of generation.

Ships must abide by flag country laws in international waters. There are treaties that cover most states. Compliance is an issue now though to say the least.

Solar aircraft at this stage (large, slow) have to stay in the sun, are sensitive to wind, and require periodic maintenance. In principle what you describe is basically the goal; aviation equivalent of a nuclear submarine that can stay in f

49 comments and no one points out that this is in no way a terminal emulator? It's a (rather rudimentary) shell.

Well, Gillette has their own product that they have spent billions on R&D and manufacturing. DSC is not even white label, there's not the slightest alteration to the Dorco product. They're just repackaging and selling individu

I hate to break it to you, but it is entirely fiction. There is no Lake Wobegone. St. Paul is not a little town either. Sorry to further shatter your suspension of disbelief.

GK was 45 years old when he first did a show in New York. He moved back to St. Paul five years later. The show is typically touring around the country and the world. He has split his time since 1987 living in New York and Minnesota. How doe
