We have large banks blocking pasting in password fields [1], and suggesting users not use password managers. I'd actually say security research firms have pretty high quality security people, however, and not just the tech giants. 1.

I've always liked the idea of a month of severance per year worked, starting at three months after the first year. Then again, that sort of deal doesn't always work, or fit the business.

I'm not so sure. Maybe "don't be a trash publication that skirts the law, and then defies orders to take things down when told by a judge".

Well, there's nosh[0] to be excited about. It could turn out to be a very nice init system. 0: https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2015-07-2015-09.h...

Microsoft is distributing a VM image of FreeBSD through their marketplace in binary format, that has been modified to be used on their cloud service. The license they choose to distribute it under is completely harmless, and you're st

Well, if anything good comes of that is a different question, but with his NextBSD project he looked to trying something with OS X's init system IIRC.

The last comment on that issue from alexandrudima makes it look like it'll be in the next release, if we're lucky.

Really, this shouldn't come as a surprise. At this point, pre-loaded systems just aren't worth trusting. Better to remove them entirely and start from square one. It's a pain, but until consumers put more pressure on manuf

It makes it harder to feel much pity when things go 'wrong' for them, then.

Awesome! Glad to hear it helped.

Just as a suggestions for the balance there, why not set a price ratio between the two? It would be a little odd to have a CPU that's 20% the cost of the GPU, so why not target something above that point?

I really think it's a shame that they moved to the F-35, instead of just continuing to produce F-22s. Stupid export ban. Then again, the extra payload may have been worth it.

Had the feds not been so abusive, many of the people who are completely lawful wouldn't be at the point of being okay with the feds having a hard time. I think going tit for tat would be fine, but I totally understand why some people

Correct. New version, as 10.3 only came out in the last couple weeks.

Just taking a guess here: the really interesting technical submissions might just appeal to the users who are fond of that subset of tech, but the political ones have a broader interest? Or maybe it's that the technical submissions do

If they're not doing a 'clean room' rewrite, I'd agree. Otherwise? That's their choice, and it's one I'm glad to see. This could be quite useful for OSes that aren't GPL'd, like the BSDs, or R

If one group were to sue Canonical, it would likely be the Conservancy, as the issue is the GPL not allowing for ZFS to be included.

Would it be possible to sue the hospital for ignoring the court order? Might be a way to make some progress. It's a shame the system functions so poorly.

If it was voluntary, I doubt many of those companies would see it as worth the risk. The problem is that these errors happen because so many people are working on interdependent parts. Many times, it's not even your error that can ma

How often do you think the average user understands, or ever will understand how what they're using works? Not going to disagree that it's hard to take bitcoin seriously, but I don't think that one has ever been much of an is

I don't thin something that size would be warranted. But, letting users customize Issues, and PR/merge rules, and splitting off another section for requests would be beautiful.

This one's not far from my expectations, but I think we're going to see more coming out of China in the next few years. Would definitely be interesting to see how the map evolves year by year. Also, I wish it was just color inten

I was going to say, I've seen it used as a casual alternative to people so much that I consider it a fairly inclusive term. Then again, it may be a regional thing, where it wouldn't be seen as such if it's not commonplace.

Is there really a chart comparing performance on an i7 to a bunch of smartphones? I'm having a really hard time seeing the point of that comparison. Why not benchmark against other PC operating systems, like say Chrome OS?

I'm not sure I'm a fan of how that's framed. If the religion itself can't be verified, it's not like the answers will be any more convincing. I'm also not sure that delusion will be better for people long ter

Check out some of the items traded on Steam, specifically for CS:GO, and Dota2. The 'value' can be shocking, considering they're generated items with zero certainty around further duplication.

Which in the end will only hurt users as the U.S. government is just interested in compelling Apple to hand them user information.

Well, I would argue they are safe when used correctly. The same way a table saw is safe when used correctly, doesn't mean plenty of people aren't hurt by them. I would say it's more political than that. Gun owners don&#x27
