It seemed like it would be better if there were clear rules and guidelines that governed when and how data would be turned over. Then users and companies would be more aware of their rights and risks, and there would be an above-board and v

I'm pretty sure Windows has had the ability to remember folder-specific settings since Windows 95. I don't know when window-sizing and location memory came into play, but it definitely worked in Windows 7+. Until Windows 7, if I r

For me, the big news is being able to install the distros on your non-system drive, as well as being able to run multiple distros at the same time. Pretty cool.

I initially went to neovim because it had better support for color schemes. I usually develop in VSCode, and wanted a similar color scheme when I needed to make small edits on the server. Neovim had much better support for that, and acted l

FWIW, I haven't had any issues moving files before or after upgrading from 14.04 -> 16.04. I use Git in WSL, but interact with the files in both Windows and WSL without any special considerations.

That's a lot of info to have to expose in a very short period of time. It also would involve integrating payment/contract info into systems that probably have no knowledge of it, today. How many APIs do you know of that access con

No. It's not. I've seen multiple documentaries about this (Best Evidence, etc), and was totally convinced. But the stories don't really add up. And too many people would have to currently be complicit (decades later!) for thi
