Thing is, Debian is already effectively (since Ubuntu) a Linux distro that's supposed to be for us. People who want a nice desktop experience go with Ubuntu, people who want a server reach for Debian. If the higher ups at Debian really

The same activists who effectively just won the revolution are occupying the former president's residence, and have it open to the public. Journalists are everywhere. Said activists have the support of the military and the police and s

Oddly, you're the second person to have misspelled it as "investing" when quoting it on this thread. Is this like a rogue / rouge thing that people get commonly tripped up on?

OK, so when you're talking about seizure of equipment, with all the tools and past encodes just sitting there on the machine for the taking, you're really far afield of the kind of argument you had seemed to be making. I understan

Seems a little premature to point at the blockchain and say "STOLEN!". Most people won't be able to make much sense of that. The whole situation is complicated. More info: http://www.reddit.com/r/SheepMar

Yes, I believe if you just blindly click through the initial install for the extension, the limited whitelisting (for 'unobtrusive ads') will be in effect. That's the whole idea, isn't it - to whitelist for the majority

I think you misunderstand. AdBlock doesn't force this whitelisting, it merely defaults to using it.

Not sure what you mean by 'poorly researched'. Whatever it's flaws, it produced a hell of an innovative idea (or rather, a conglomeration of ideas into something innovative), and it has grown into something undeniably huge. S

A good question that neither this crap article, nor the BBC article it links to on the specific BitTorrent claim, makes any attempt the answer. One would have to go to the single source of the claims - Sandvine - to figure it out. The clos

What's really sad about this is that all of these federal agencies, the journalists reporting on them, and the public at large, continue to take it as a given that the polygraph is a useful and reliable tool that does what it says on t

I don't think you understand what QNX is or where it's used then. QNX will not be seeing serious competition from Android or iOS anytime soon in the domains it has locked up - ones which require hard real-time.

You're way off base here - consider turning on showdead and reading some of his posts, or even just googling the guy, before making wild assumptions. Nobody is snarking on losethos and designating him mentally ill because he wrote an O
