Slightly off topic, but can you please allow fallback when there is no Flash. The player works, but you have to hack you user-agent string to get it. I don't have Flash in Firefox and the BBC news is only site, that I visit regularly,

Sony didn't release any FF mirrorless in that period, in fact the latest FF mirrorless was released Sept 2015. I suspect it was the US discounts at that time.

That's quickly changing, Sony have now overtaken Nikon to become the number 2 seller of full frame cameras in the US. Nikon doesn't make a single full frame mirrorless camera and Sony most known for making them. https://

You can do HISTFILESIZE=0. That way the .bash_history file is never written to, but you can still get the history that's in memory. If you write it to disk, it could available on the disk via an undelete tool or via a backup - which is

I think it's referring to Trump, Brexit and the various moves the right elsewhere in Europe, which are dividing people on nationalistic and religious grounds.

The simplest solution would be simply to not to travel to the US. I'm sure it wouldn't be long before the airlines & hotels were lobbying for a change in the law.

I agree, the transit visa situation is really odd. I wonder how much money the U.S. loses by requiring visa from those travelling from Central+South America to Europe and the rest of the world. I know people personally that can't pick

This was not a trivial system for it's time. Do you change your ssh keys and certificates every day? The enigma had a new encryption code for everyday distributed on paper and torn off and destroyed once used. The were different codes

Most of what you are saying makes sense, except this bit: > "Maybe the HTTPS site is just broken right now." In the case of a bank, it's extremely unlikely that they are falling back to HTTP. It's much more likely tha

They did? I remember numerous Twitter outages due to scale and the infamous Fail Whale. Twitter's issues risked the company losing users or even it's sustainability as a business. Never remember Facebook having much issue.

That's right they'd probably be struggling to scale Ruby on Rails like Twitter who started 2 years after facebook.

I'm not convinced the new iPad pro will even be usable for 5 years. I gave up on the iPad 1 and iPad mini because they didn't have enough RAM to load many websites. The new iPad pro has only 2GB of RAM and even 5 year old PCs had

Flickr is still the go to site for photographers, there are other sites, but Flickr is the most popular. However, Adverts on login page suck though and for those that don't pay they have adverts inserted that look exactly like photos.

We have way more information stored on these devices than ever before. They want it because it's there, not because they need it. For example, the first mobile phones, could only store 10 text messages, you'd typically delete them

In living (for some), 80%+ tax rates have been used and tax was very high for about 5 decades: - the top marginal rate of tax was 62% in 1932 (up from 25% in 1931) - rising to 91% in 1963 (income over $200k) - It was at 70% in 1981

I'll add: NFS home directories don't seem to be tested by KDE developers, taking 30seconds or so to start fully everytime you move machine because they generate stuff in /tmp. Most programs don't take quota into account
