The bottom line is that my security is more important than your ad revenue. On this issue, there can be no debate. The fact that viewing the vast majority of ads involves running completely unaudited, often heavily obfuscated JavaScript, wr

Dell also send out parts no-questions-asked if you don't mind fitting them yourself, which is pretty great when you know exactly which part you need and what to do with it. I assume that's why there are so many new Latitude/P

What's stopping you from doing it now? I've been using CONFIG_MODULES=n for years without issue. It can be annoying when you need to use some obscure driver, filesystem or protocol on a one off basis and have to do an emergency re

If someone is in a position to do this, the chances are they already have physical access, and there are much more worrying things that can be done with that (hardware keyloggers, etc). The only obvious thing that can be done with this (bey

Their drivers might work, but saying to users "here, load this giant blob with a history of privesc bugs into your kernel" isn't what I'd call "supporting Linux". Meanwhile, AMD are active contributors to Mesa

If you like Burial, you'd do well to explore dubstep further. A good starting point would be the Dubstep Allstars series (especially volumes 2, 6 and 7.2 – they're all on YouTube) and the realdubstep subreddit (they happen to love

I love my 7510 and I'd definitely recommend it, but the keyboards are a bit of a lottery (this probably applies to all current Latitudes and Precisions, as they all look to use the same boards). There are two different designs that I&#

But does that really count? Eating superhot peppers won't necessarily make you vomit, let alone make you vomit enough to rip your oesophagus (which is incredibly rare, even in the most intense bouts of vomiting). FWIW, I grow these thi

Tetris is my go-to learning project as well. I can read all the tutorials in the world, but I don't feel comfortable with a new language/platform/toolkit/etc until I've ported Tetris to it. I go as far as making eve

Block layer or filesystem driver vulnerabilities would be even better – no special hardware needed. Just buy a load of cheap flash drives, copy over your malicious partition table or filesystem, and you're set.

The lack of a dotted or slashed '0' is infuriating for me, especially considering that Droid Sans Mono has variants for both.

The CATPCHAs might not appear for everyone, but automated JavaScript challenges seem to be required on some sites regardless of your IP (and without JavaScript, you just get stuck in a refresh loop on the challenge page). It's a real s

Analog-only headphones (mid-range to high-end ones at least) will never go away. People who care about having good headphones also care about having an equally good DAC and amplifier to go with them, and they're not going to be willing
