A full price board would require a procurement in many education/research organizations, but now you can just buy it through same channel as a spare laptop battery (ask your lab engineer or whatever). Also, think China or India. As for

This may be an interesting contrarian position to argue, but come on. The NAT situation takes us toward end-to-end and away from middleboxes? In real life it's more likely for communities and systems to bow than rebound in response to

It would be cool to see some videos of the current LightTable, since it was the demo videos of the original prototype that made its name originally. FWIW I remember trying LT once post-open sourcing and ran out of enthusiasm before I could

You can build it from the mainline git repo, but what you get is a version of the kernel with defining features of Linux/Unix missing.

The point of NN is that the ISP shouldn't get to make that decision. Even "allow on request" is very problematic because it's a slippery slope. Many people run SMTP at home mostly to receive mail, because the ISP is lega

To clarify the article's text, uClinux is not (just) a distribution, but a version of the kernel that rus on MMU-less hardware. The full Linux kernel does have m68k support, but it needs a 68020 or better CPU. This gets you real memory

Nit: Routers generally don't do DNS, though they do have (rarely needed) clients.

There's also no reason to discount server-to-server SMTP on residential or business lines. Especially since this is part of the larger net neutrality discussion.

Europol took over the .onion domains? How does that work technically? And doesn't it sound a little brusque considering Europol doesn't have authority to do anything on the field?

Yes, it's one of the places that legislates favourable rules toward the lodger (stringent conditions on rent increases or lease terminations etc). Lots of people even sublet their favourably gotten rental flats onward for more money. A

There have been systems where everything is memory mapped and disks are just used to emulate more memory. It's called "single-level store" in System 36 and descendants. File access in Multics was all memory mapped. There&#x27

By "out of sandbox" you refer to the fact that shaders are statically transpiled into safe code, rather than getting executed in a dynamically memory-safe and sandboxed environment? I agree the approach raises some doubts, as it g

It is the same driver as the later Intel models. It is one of the very few drivers that are not blacklisted by Chrome on Linux, owing to its unbugginess.

I bet many would use them if normal phones supported them. A common use case is a local SIM card when travelling or commuting to a different country. Even people who don't travel a lot for work will typically travel semi-frequently in

Well, Ireland took a bad deal from the ECB, nationalizing the bank imposion and imposing punishing austerity measures (executed with sterling enthusiasm as you say) instead of doing something like Iceland. It's more Ireland bailing out

I wonder if the refusal of other EU states to help with the banking crisis had something to do with Ireland's tax haven antics. Ireland got a worse deal than the other EU crisis countries.

The obvious thing to get around the "fragmentation" would be to leave the chip on the PCB and cut the traces. Then connect your own wires or an upside-down socket from above. Anything I'm missing?

This is a good question to think about, especially if it makes you consider more carefully about what software you run! But there's a lot of spectrum between "i have audited this software" and "i'm just piping this

These predictions were very commonplace by then. In 1983, TCP/IP came along and MILNET was split off. This is commonly considered to mark the start of the Internet. First .com domain was registered in 1985.

Many (most?) vegetarians do so primarily for ethical or economic reasons: environmental, animal rights, food cost. Or religious reasons. Adding more dietary restrictions, like low-carb or low-sugar, would make the diet more expensive and on
