Then he should've used capital letters. mm means millimeters. Edit: you guys really will downvote anything, won't you?

Hey, thanks for the downvotes, guys, but I would've appreciated actual discussion. (Another reason I've left.)

> EDIT: Apparently so because someone just went through my history and down-voted all my comments... It should be easy for the admins to find and promptly IP-ban the creep who did this.

We should all be supporting Sci-Hub. There is no reason for these papers to be locked away from the public.

Not great but not surprising. This is just what late-stage capitalism looks like.

Amazon hasn't had a good idea in almost a decade, and this hare-brained scheme isn't bucking that trend.

"Can anyone point out how blockading a bridge could possibly lead to political change?" Open a history book and read up on the Civil Rights Movement, specifically the Selma to Montgomery Marches. Blocking roads and bridges is one

> Naked apologism. So unthoughtful, and delivered with such a righteous tone. And, of course, voted up to the very top of the comments section here, as usual. The Apple apologists here are a bit of a plague.

The security motivated user probably wouldn't be using an iPhone in the first place. Or any smartphone for that matter.

Idono. HFS+ is pretty terrible, too. The people who wrote it surely could've written Disk Utility.

It's a shame what's happened to Apple since Jobs died. Boring hardware coupled with increasingly buggy software.

You know what's even better than that? Downloading the 1080p torrent off TPB.

What he's saying is that he doesn't reboot often, and certainly not once a week. My Macbook has been up and running without a reboot for almost a year.

I've just shut mine down again and it's been off my phone for months. Things are much better without it.

We're also forcing all our welfare recipients onto a cashless card (with, of course, the forced drug testing that invariably comes along with it.) If you guessed that the party currently in control also has ties to the cashless card pr

Because you can just create a new account when your old one gets banned from too many places. Or dozens of new accounts. It's utterly trivial.

We'll be seeing more and more of this as capitalism goes through its death throes. The next 20 years aren't going to be pretty.

Unfortunately, RedHat tends to be the trendsetter in the Linux world. Once it's gone from RHEL, it'll be gone from most other RPM based distros soon enough. It's kind of a shame that one company has grown to dominate the Li
