A modern WAFL clone ? I've never read that before. The article you link to doesn't assert that either. Can you provide mode information?

Sundeep was almost immediately hostile to the support people. While DO clearly could do a better job communicating to him, he's not helping himself with his attitude. Support folks often do not have the privilege to go off-script and m

OK, but I read this as "oh that's nothing, we even mistreat our own." I think you're effectively minimizing this man's experience with an unfounded (?? maybe just my ignorance) comment about racial profiling.

Maybe, but the events in this article are bad enough on their own, there is no need to inject a racial element into the discussion.

We're not using RCS, but we use GNU CSSC for an old SCCS codebase. Many people here are keyed into 'new hotness' startup projects. But there are a lot of us out here maintaining 20+ year old codebases for products in maintena

Nothing, which is why this whole proposal even exists. With this standardized, we will continue to be legally and/or practically blocked from native consumption of protected content on general purpose GNU/Linux distributions.

Distance and independence, I think. A truly self-reliant Mars colony could basically ignore Earth altogether. For that reason I think it's likely we will never see a real permanent Mars colony effort, only small research stuff, just li

I believe the article suggests using it to log in, not reboot. The use of ctrl-alt-del for reboots was not a microsoft innovation.

What for? What do you expect to do on an x86 Windows Phone phone (or Windows phone?) that you cannot do on an existing platform?

I wonder if it's easier for them to analyze and mine data from ten small emails vs. one large one.

A promotion, not a device. It's different. Anyway the intent was more sarcasm than anything, but I guess I'll take the karma hit.

So, he took advantage of a promotion in a way the manufacturer did not intend, lied to grocery store employees to explain why he was depriving hundreds of other customers of delicious pudding while concurrently ruining pudding as a treat fo

Could be the speed, content, or something else, but the text at http://fotcorn.github.io/StarRSS/ doesn't seem to shake (as much, anyway) as it fades.

The only lawsuit information I've found so far shows Theranos as the plaintiff, represented by Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP. That would be David Boies, fwiw. Are there others? Edit: Here's some background: http://w

They also don't need to snoop on the in-progress transaction to get all the information they want. They can get evidence via your CC records for Amazon, and in both cases they can subpoena the purchase/banking records. AFAIK the b

For now. As soon as electric vehicles become popular enough to reduce gas tax receipts, a new tax will appear to make up for the difference. It's already happening in the US: http://www.npr.org/2013/08/15&#x2

I've seen the brilliant comment repeated in 2-3 articles now. The assertion is that Snowden basically used su to become other (more privileged) users. One level of misdirection. How is this brilliant?

The article indicates that one of these kids ingested magnets which were used to decorate a wedding cake. It's just one example... but how can you possibly be held responsible for that ? And as pointed out below, these were never mark

Well, to be fair, it's being directed at 'everyone,' still ostensibly for 'our' benefit. It's the thought that counts, right?

They are probably treating it like more of a smoke test. In 10 days you can certainly get a good idea about changes in flavor, texture, preparation, etc. You also ought to get some feedback on whether a formula change resulted in any immedi

Because it leeches potential talent away from other projects? I don't really have a big ax to grind with Gnome, but I don't understand why it remained relevant after the KDE/Qt licensing issue was resolved.

Do you know what the explosives tests are looking for? It occurs to me that people make explosives out of fertilizer, which I think means that almost anything with an ammonia component could cause a positive result. I also wonder how the te

Well you can hardly have a free market for healthcare in the first place. A functional market requires that consumers be vigilant and make good choices. That's hard enough without being sick or injured. I like to think of myself as a
