That whole introduction needs to be scrapped and rewritten for NPOV (also for shitty writing). And I'm not sure the guy is notable enough for his own page. That being said, his 'about' page is more useful than wikipedia in this case: http:

What if the chip fails? What if you forget your password? You should have backups (and not just a backup password). On Linux, use dm-crypt/LUKS. Why oh why is this still not easy to set up? It is very easy IMO (the only differing steps

Great save for a bad mistake. Still leaves me with a shitty feeling. Basically this boils down to "sorry we got caught", they knew what they were doing. Not to single out Path, a massive number of apps are guilty of this behavior.

Small business owners get pitched for stuff several times a week. It gets to the point where you refuse everything outright unless you're looking for something specific.

Open Source software that doesn't support locked up content or formats will give an inferior user experience for the foreseeable future. This is not entirely true. I think you mean to say we will have access to less content, which is true

I'm surprised it isn't one of the more popular projects among this community. You shouldn't be. My values align roughly with that of the freedombox creators/developers but I can easily see this will have poorer adoption than other well-in

I think we've pretty much ruined URLs in terms of usability. Sometimes they are logically organized URI's which point to a specific resource but a lot of the time they are a jumble of characters for session state, tracking info, script name

I was assuming we'd still have laptops and every other form factor we have now, just that you'd need your smartphone in your pocket to actually use your laptop. It is the hub, it has all your files, it is automatically backed up over the ne

I think this is actually a hint towards the future of computing. I imagine that your smartphone will be your sole computer and then everywhere else (home, work, library, friend's house, etc) there will be something like dumb terminals that

There is one other reason that I knew would always keep me in the Vim and Emacs world. At first I couldn't figure out what it was that bothered me about SublimeText 2. Vim and Emacs is open source! I don't see this point mentioned in argum

it would be interesting to see a counterpoint. Sure. 1. Just because this is the way things work doesn't mean this is the only way things can work. Or 2. We aren't entitled to have Dark Knights and Avatars. Lets assume that, for whatever

I use Arch on my laptop for daily use, it brings in my paychecks. The benefit is, once you have it setup, it is dead-simple easy to maintain. All my applications and libraries are always up to date and there are no big releases or reinstall

What are you trying to say? Germany compels companies to suppress Nazi propaganda in Germany. (I'm assuming, the article isn't that specific.) That is the government telling citizens what they cannot say (e.g. censorship). The difference be

Oh, man. I use Linux for my day job but keep a Windows 7 install should the need arise. An old friend sent me a link to try out a video game he and a buddy made in college. I downloaded the program, Norton deletes it immediately. It didn't

So I'm an engineer for a living which means I'm probably about as politically (un)knowledgeable as most people here, but do all of our "calls to action" seem hopelessly naive to anyone else? I mean take the first example: elimination of sof

When I travel I just hide Grub and make it boot Windows 7 instantly. (I very rarely use Windows so there isn't anything installed except Chrome.) I think you'd have better luck giving them something they expect instead of sabotaging your sy

Being upset at this restriction is perfectly reasonable. It is intended to keep authors/editors artificially locked into Apple's products and distribution system. Imagine how you would feel about similar restrictions on other production too

I don't understand the key presses used. Is the "Multiply" key the asterisk (Shift+8)? And also the + key on the numpad works? I was unable to get slock to crash, using a US laptop keyboard. :/

Pretty interesting. Fully automated text summarization certainly isn't new (libots, Classifier4j, OSX's summarization service, Copernic Summarizer, etc.) but I haven't yet seen any implementations that use a machine learning approach. EDIT:

I still don't really "get" the syllable perspective but it seems like it's just a mapping of one stroke (I think my confusion is what constitutes a "stroke") on specialized hardware to several on a qwerty board? As far as I can tell, sten
