One could replace a coin by a small circuit that represents a physically unclonable function and a cryptographic certificate by the state, saying that this is a valid coin. Make it look like a normal coin so people can trade by hand, but in

Times are moving faster, you have to adapt. Efficiency is trump. Children are no exception here. You gotta see that there is just no time for things like 'being a child'.

You can use palm or coconut fat as a butter replacement and blended soaked nuts as a cream replacement. It might not taste the same, but it's edible at least.

Strom does not mean Energy. It means stream, as in a stream of water, which could be a river, or as in a stream of electrons, which would be electricity. Strom most often refers to Elektronenstrom.

Besides the fact that in India corruption and scam is a common and widespread problem, accepting a bribe is certainly worse than giving one. Sometimes you just don't have any other option than giving a bribe, while the one accepting th

This reads as if the author were not suited for that kind of work. Yes, working through code and figuring out what it does, and why it does it that way, and whether it can be improved is work, maintainer's work, and if it's stress

The modal verb "to need" is highly depend on the context. You might have seen it in a different context than the author. While you may have interpreted it as saying that if women don't compromise, then they are bad, the autho

But then I don't get why they wouldn't market two different CPU's, one backdoored and user-controlling one and a normal maliciousness-free one. It's then up to the game developers to require a system of the former type t

While corporatese is not one of my key strengths, I think they've commited now to something that can't be dealt with with a simple "No, you won't get source code."

I don't see how giving full control to the user requires significant money and effort. It is not necessary to release the full source code. Providing hardware documentation and a way to flash the firmware is enough. This shouldn't

What controller are you using? I've found it hard to find a good controller.

Me too. I don't need more performance right now so I have no plan to buy a new system, but if AMD received coreboot support without blobs, I would buy new hardware right away.

I have experience with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs on Linux-systems and my experience with AMD was vastly superior. The difference was so significant that I rule out buying a NVIDIA card.

I appreciate they wrote it the way they did. I didn't know what the abbreviation would have meant, and now I do. Also, I now have a clue what "IANA" at the start of an abbreviation I have never seen before might mean.

This is why I think governments should fund libre alternative projects substantially and long-term. It is a matter of national interest. LibreOffice Calc is missing features that are required by many users? The government should pay for it

This is why I see the dominance of Windows as a problem that should be dealt with on the political level. My hope for Europe is lost in this regard, but I think Russia or China could come up with something interesting.

I also agree that states should fund more free software.

Yes, the worlds thirst for oil leads to conflicts and death in many areas of the world. The more countries reduce their oil needs, the better the world is off.

EDIT: I messed something up. I don't think anymore what I wrote below. That took too long. Of course, just like RSA Security LLC now they will try to better their image. I think they had their chance.

I understand you are angry because of how I reacted. See, you are talking bad about other people, people you don't know, whose stories you might not even have ever imagined. And denying someone to possibly be a responsible adult is ver
