> I've never met an Android phone that disallowed tethering based on the whims of these operators. My Galaxy S4 on AT&T did not allow me to turn on tethering until I switched to a plan which included it.

Similarly, in the early AOL days, there were several "warez" distribution lists going around which had the pirated software directly attached to the emails (not links to external websites). As long as the emails stayed in AOL, yo

Isn't this kind of what they're doing on Google Play, or what was done with Mr. Robot, minus the torrent? The first episode or two are free, then you either pay per episode or watch via TV subscription. I frequently download fre

That's a good question, and probably one I don't truly know the answer to. I've been here my whole career (~11 years), so I simply don't have any experience outside my company or industry to compare against. I imagine th

Strangely the old link works fine for me, but the new one is blocked by my workplace's McAfee filter/firewall.

I've been watching your posts for quite a while at osdev.org, sortie. Great job sticking with this! So many people (myself included) start on an OS dev project only to get bored or give up a few months in. For anyone interested in ho

That's the one! Would it be possible for you to upload that file somewhere?

Slightly off topic -- does anyone remember a boot disk in the late 80's or early 90's that would play voice from the PC speaker, saying something to the effect of, "Help, I'm trapped inside the computer"? I can&#x2

Brian Krebs' book Spam Nation talks about this quite a bit. So many people still buy prescription medications and fake watches and such through junk email. Enough that it still makes financial sense for the spammers to keep at it.

I used to work in a dark room used for silkscreening, where the only lights in the room were yellow. After only a few minutes I'd stop noticing the yellow light. When I'd leave the room at the end of my shift, everything was extre

It is possible to "activate" this functionality on some phones as well. I have it enabled on my Samsung Galaxy S4, which is rooted, but otherwise is running the stock ROM (though not by choice).

Imagine if you were the agent who grabbed the laptop, and you accidentally bumped the power button. Or if you were the forensic tech, and you accidentally triggered a reboot of some sort. No pressure!

Yeah, I would have gone with the 4GB model, but I got this one through a Groupon deal for $130... I remembered reading about zram being enabled in ChromeOS, not sure why I didn't think to investigate it. Thanks for the recommendation,

I can also recommend the C720, I'm typing this comment from one. I am also running Arch, which is a perfect match for this machine with its minimal nature. This machine is small, lightweight, and the battery seems to outlast me most
