I'm interested in setting up a Linux-based server at home, but one of the things that have kept me from doing it is security concerns. Are there any server distributions which are very strict in regards to which packages are included&#

I am sure you were joking, but to clarify and expand: Why do men seek contact with the opposite sex more frequently than women? Why do they tend to do so in a way that seems to bother the woman in question? Why are women not doing the same

"Or if you truly want to be horrified, make an ad on Craigslist pretending to be a woman. You will get pictures of penises." This might initially seem like a silly question, but as someone who wants to understand the perspectives

Partially. I am old enough to remember computers with one floppy drive (for old software, explaining the A:-position), but too young to have experienced the times when you needed two.

US citizens have the ability to express their opinion on him through votes. That said, I am not sure the alternative would be much better. I believe the American people would benefit greatly from having more than two viable alternatives whe

It would seem that those with the ability to address this issue are close to those who benefit from the lack of understanding.

"Profiles describe him as secretive, fascinated with computers, and with knowledge of things like Tor (a peer-to-peer network for maintaining anonymity for computer communications)." Doesn't that describe most of us on HN? ;-

I can't say I know very much about the German Pirate Party, but how did "aggressive genderism" end up becoming associated with them? Are they trying to focus on questions outside Internet-related ones and made a blunder?

A blog post on the Adblock Plus-website from 44 days ago mentions a "joint campaign" by several German newspapers against ad blockers. I imagine this is part of it, although that's doesn't necessarily mean that they are

I'll take the opportunity to break into this conversation and ask a question since discussions on this topic seem to be fairly rare on HN. If I were to launch a service where providing your gender was required (for the sake of this que

While it is likely to be because I come from a country/culture where porn isn't considered to be an issue, I would appreciate an explanation as to why "cut[ting] down exposure to this type of material" is desirable at all. When kids decide

We do not know if they will go for a completely flat design. The last rumour I read about before this one said that they were going for a balance, as in the middle-ground you seek. Not quite as flat as Windows Phone but much more so than cu

He isn't saying that browsers should remove the "Save as..."-feature. However, he is suggesting that browsers and websites should implement the download-attribute, which he believes will make the need for "Save as..." go away in those cases

You can't use "every" and "depending on use" in the same sentence, as that could be said of anything. I have a four year old cable of said type which, except for a little dust, is looking as good as new. Were you to say that it occurs durin

Using a robots.txt-file to hide data that shouldn't be public in the first place is a rather bad idea. Because the robots.txt itself is public, it actually highlights the location of the "private" data.
