I'm upset about these revelations, and I'm not sure my next laptop would be a ThinkPad. However, I'm still happy with ThinkPad hardware and I'll still consider them when I need a new laptop. They're the only vendor

Many people are saying "just use Linux" or "always do a clean install of Windows on a new laptop." However, that's no guarantee to help you escape this kind of malware. Even if you replace the hard drive and put an

It only matters if you use the Lenovo image for Windows. A fresh install will also work around this.

Thank you for doing this. I've read some awesome stuff on Backblaze's infrastructure over the years, but never could use the service (a high level backup solution for Windows/Mac isn't so useful for me). This announcemen

I know nothing about Verilog, FPGAs or chip design. How hard is it to go from something like this to an actual hardware chip you could put into hobby electronic projects?

Same is true for Belgium, though the Belgian infrastructure is a little more up to date (most terminals can accept credit cards, if the shop has payed for the quite expensive creditcard processing service with the company issuing the termin

I enjoy the Pocket integration in Firefox, as well as reader mode (which I think is powered by Pocket?). I also have an extension that allows me to mimic other user agents (useful for some sites to immitate an iPhone on Android). Since Fire

Speed and supported standards were once how browsers competed. Now, features like Sync and a handful of extensions are what bind me to Firefox. Having Sync available on mobile, even if it doesn't use Gecko or Spidermonkey, is valuable.

Erm, can I use reports only Android <4.4 and Opera Mini as not supporting it, and in both those cases Flash won't work either. So why do we need Flash for clipboard actions today?

As will Cisco, or Dell, or HP.

Debian is fairly stable, has been around for ages but is still active, is completely free and community-driven, and most people are familiar with the package management and config file structure on Debian (or Debian derivatives). On top of

One mans freedom fighter or activist is another mans terrorist. Besides, it is human nature to be morally flexible. Many people don't really register atrocities of any scale as long as they don't affect their daily lives. That&#x2

This may also be a factor in Belgium, which has a similar situation (though I think the presence of nukes is confirmed there, I'm not sure).

Do all these nations use STOVL-only carrier designs? I thought there were conventional take-off carriers as well... Or were these fleets built from passed-on UK carriers? Edit: Just did some research, and apparently the countries mentioned

What upsets me is that apparently, European nations are just making a political decision of buying these overpriced, handicapped jets in bulk. There are three nations I know off (Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium), where Wikileaks cables

I never used Perl, but I use Ruby where people might have used Perl before. (Small one-off scripts or simple automation stuff) People often attack the appearance and readability of Perl code ("write-only" code), but lot's of

Or the 3DS. It's funny, when it's our personal data or credit card numbers, they can't seem to manage the most basic of security procedures. Yet when it's DRM and they want to prevent unauthorized third party code from r

Not sure about this (I haven't used either, just looked at their sites), but I believe those are terminal emulators. They're the thing that displays the shell and handle input and copy/paste etc. The shell is what actually ha

I was thinking this is bad, but this thing is running a 2.4 kernel, so it's probably just a wired ethernet port on the back of the device. Limited but dangerous potential here. Nope, it's a thousands times worse. This devices has

If there is no state-backed or state-issued currency, some other currency will fill the void. I wouldn't be hopeful about it being fair and not dominated by a handful of large players (like banks) though.

I most commonly see them on cars with aftermarket modifications (tuning cars), which is in line with your speed limit/police hatred connection.

They're very common in Belgium (Western Europe) as well, though most people who use them have no idea of the origin. They just thinks it looks rebellious. I find those stickers extremely annoying, since they conflict with how I know an

Exactly. Business isn't a no-holds-barred anything goes anarchy. It's not because we have some free trade that there are no rules what so ever. Abusing a stranglehold or monopoly will eventually draw the ire of regulators. Just as

Thanks! Interesting to know. I'd love a 10" version of this device, but this is worth a look.

How is it open source? Where can I find the source? How can I build software for it, and how can I load the software onto the device? I found this[0] but it is in Spanish, and many of the links to source don't go anywhere. It seems lik
