Honestly, as a current Debian Wheezy user... this isn't true any more. I haven't had to fix anything since I installed it. It's all Just Worked. If it didn't just work, I'd've bought a Windows license, as I hav

You've read wrong, unfortunately. http://lwn.net/Articles/557082/ describes that: > Unprivileged access to the cgroup hierarchy will be strongly discouraged; the hope is to have a single, privileged proces

> However I want to argue that not all software should cater to everybody. The issue here is that the Linux kernel developers are starting to make decisions that assume systemd is being used. For example, the (proposed?) new cgroups API

Of course, from experience living in India for several years, the problem with "less regulated systems like India's" is simply that aside from basic reactive healthcare of the sort you'd get from your GP, the poor do not

And yet somehow, in general, national health services with highly integrated medical data storage systems across Europe don't seem to lose data as often as you'd think.

Ah, but AT&T did not publicise the endpoint in any way either, unlike Mailinator. More to the point, users using Mailinator do not have an expectation of privacy regarding the data they gave Mailinator (or that they told other services

So... where're Lamassu dealing with currency exchange regulations? Or are they only building the hardware, and leaving currency exchange services to other companies? The article is not clear on this.

I would hold both responsible quite happily and independently of each other. AT&T obviously did not heed the user's expectation of privacy in this case - they could've done so using a challenge-response authentication system w

So, if somebody has SSH open on port 22, root password login enabled, and a root password of Pa$$w0rd, and I guess that and log in, should that be legal? If so, what about a more complex password? Should we legalise other remote attacks on

They are toiling for this money. Specifically, the mining system exists in order to verify transactions, put them together into a block, and distribute that block to be added to every client's copy of the blockchain. The reward for per

This is not an interactive fiction game. While primarily text-based, it uses rich UIs based around that text, and the input mechanism is not command-based, but instead generally button-based (or in the case of the third and fourth parts of

Actually, code folding is implemented, at least for Python. Mouseover the line numbers. Not that anyone should be doing it, but at least it's there.

What I get from the video is that it stores the wallet - a set of public and private keys for your addresses, along with a list of transactions to/from those addresses - and signs transactions. Bitcoin clients will implement support fo

Assuming that the "in EU datacenters" is mentioned in regards to privacy more than latency (which is likely, following the recent news), the issue is that both the company behind QBox, and the company QBox seem to be using for the

There's always going to be a lot of people who prefer a paper book to an e-book; even with the death of paper books I could absolutely see "one-off" book printing companies licensing printing rights from the publishers and making a niche fo

Did you give it to any kids yourself, rather than relying on the article's claim that kids are usually able to solve it? If you're going to try to repeat the experiment, you must repeat all of it before claiming it repeatable.

Mozilla are trying to push their BrowserID on the world though. A fairly popular (among devs) technological demo seems like the right place to start that; it'd show us how easy it is for users to use, and how simple it is to integrate. Not

Google Mobile Search has been rewriting pages for old mobile browsers (pre-iPhone) for years. It's a similar system to Opera Mini's proxy, except rather than pre-rendered pages it outputs pages in either minimal HTML or WAP. Another way to

FreeBSD can compile the kernel with Clang, but at least as of 9.0-RELEASE, the default is still GCC. They're aiming to switch to Clang for as much as possible for 10.0-RELEASE, in a couple of years.

No, the ones that employ more than one or two people and make decent amounts of money sell services related to GPLed software. (In a world where everyone had proper Internet connections, we wouldn't have companies selling GPL software on ph
