Yeah. This is cool and all, but it's kind of like modifying your cigarette lighter to carry passengers.

That was not cool. Froze my browser (FF, linux). I'd flag the hell out of this if I could.

Bringing Sandy grids back up depended in part on loaned electrical workers from all over the region and country. If more regions or a large part of the country is affected, that's going to be hard or impossible. Providers don't staff for th

If you host your own email, you may need to know more and do more than you think you need to do. I tried it for awhile, it was easy to set up with postfix. The problem I ran into is that large services like gmail and linked in would not se

"Linux Mint as a Debian based version of their distro," Didn't realize that, I'd always seen it as Ubuntu-derived. Thanks.

I mean something not derived from Ubuntu. Yes, Xubuntu (which I currently run underneath XMonad) does not (yet) have this and future related features, and that's good. But by using an Ubuntu derived distro, you lend credibility to Ubuntu an

Indeed. If spyware is a continuum from onerous to innocuous, then at the moment Canonical's string sending/sharing is somewhere near the innocuous end of the line. But it's still within the continuum. By excusing it as innocuous and (for no
