Indemnification doesn't seem to deter farmers from complaining. Where I live (France) we have a totally anecdotic number of wolves and bears (there are so few bears that they are almost all descended from a single male), and the state

I don't see those views as conflicting. Everyone has a fundamental right to privacy, but one's rights end when stomping on those of others.

You don't need to use an OSI-approved license to be Open Source, but you need to use a license that complies with OSI's Open Source definition. Otherwise, the term would be meaningless.

"Open Source" isn't supposed to be subject to interpretation. For something to be Open Source it has to follow the OSI Open Source definition.

Not OP but I recently installed OpenVMS 7.3 on Simh following this guide [1], (ignoring the building Simh part) and it works like a charm. [1] https://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html

This reminds me of an anecdote in Richard Stallman's biography French version, which seems to be missing from the English version (or isn't at the same place in the book). Apparently, to avoid any security features being added to

It seems to me that the hotel should take at least part of the blame here. According to the article this was not the first attempt to breach their security, yet they didn't put sane security practices in place, such as separating door

I think of installing Arch as a good exercise for aspiring sysadmins or other people who which to know a bit about Linux tinkering. It teaches one about chroots, bootloaders, partitionning etc and that knowledge may come in handy later. And

The quality of the service varies between banks though, I remember my previous bank who forced me to go over a sketchy-looking website and use a Flash applet to generate the card... AFAIK it's not possible to create a card with a month

Endless runners seem to enjoy good success. Anything with Mario slapped on it enjoys huge success, be it party games, sport games, platform games etc. For now, Mario is missing (pun intended) on the smartphones. Seems to me that this is a w

Same here. Endless runners and their simplistic controls are a good fit for smartphones, while any action games which tries to mimic gamepad buttons on the touchscreen ends up being awful to control.

And it has a complete and documented API with bindings in everything and is supported by ansible. And it has a clear, well thought (IMHO) separation of concepts. On the downsides many beginners find the UI a bit confusing (although I'm

Ah ! Serves them right for inflicting the same problem on applications that install on AIX using the builtin tar and can't find their files after due to the path lenght limitations.

In this case "the most poorly maintained" happens to be the most used. Only on BSD have I seen rc.d scripts that are not full of redundant boilerplate. Although of course I've not checked every distribution there is, but on t

The drama started very early. I've been seeing the same arguments over and over again since ArchLinux and Fedora adopted it, and the adoption by Debian just got people to repeat them.

How is replacing buggy shell scripts that all duplicate the same functionnality by a simple ini file per service "a great increase in configuration complexity" ?

Well I would say it's functionnal and hasn't reached enough production machines. I don't understand the hate that systemd seems to bring in people. It may not be perfect but the good largely outweights the bad and anyway most

I guess parent is talking about the use of '365' which reminds of office 365. That would be trademark infringement though, not copyright. Seems to me that open365 is different enough of office 365 that no confusion is possible any
