It's just too bad they don't support ZFS or any similar filesystem. Their reasoning makes a lot of sense, but there are a lot of useful features that would be nice to have.

My school still has an old SPARC machine running Solaris 5.x that all of the CS students have accounts on. They even have gnome installed and X11 forwarding enabled, but I'm not sure why...

Even if it is real, I can't imagine them implementing that many APIs correctly. They also don't mention anything about OS versions, and I don't know why anyone would bother reimplementing some of those ancient APIs.

The complexity of software doesn't preclude standardized "building codes." Obviously the codes would have to be just as complex, but software could be used to check that those codes are met. It wouldn't be perfect, but c

Innocent people's lives are ruined by drugs every day. One example off the top of my head is people coerced into being drug mules and end up getting caught by Customs. If (violent) porn is legal, the producers will be under much greate

Can you find a source that doesn't show the UK having 5-10 times more violent crime than the US, per capita? I couldn't believe the numbers at first, so I tried but couldn't find anything saying otherwise. I think the UK

Complaining about it did get his blog to (at least) the top 4 on hacker news.

People have always used air quotes to show they're quoting someone's exact words, and also when they're being sarcastic and making up a quote. It's just hard to tell when people are being sarcastic in text.

Can they really detain people and refuse to let people pick up their luggage? It seems pretty clear that it was the pilot's fault, and most likely an accident.

That doesn't mean that standing up to bullying countries doesn't work. There's always another superpower to run to, and they seem to like undermining each other's bullying.

You could mail them the disk, and maybe a small processing fee. They could then destroy the disk and convert the license token to a digital copy. It would cost the customer, but since they could have bought a digital copy in the first place

They could get a valid key pair from a CA and MITM the connection. It could be detected if the user knows what the public key should be and compares it with what they received, but that seems pretty unlikely.

It's funny how they put 4chan with the 'F's in the list of supporting companies instead of at the beginning where you'd normally find names starting with digits.

I think Manning had/has some mental health problems. I'm pretty sure he was struggling with depression. This guy sounds like he's in a much better place, mentally, to go up against the US government. Being a contractor (citiz

He was making $200k a year, I don't think the best way to support him is to give him another $10k. If he needs money, he needs a LOT more than $10k.

I think this started when the NSA requested records on every American from Verizon, which then got leaked to a journalist named Greenwald. Greenwald then followed it up with an article on PRISM, the NSA's spying operation. http:/

Honestly, I'm not surprised at all. Students need to be thorough to show they understand the material, so their drawings are detailed. Professionals just need to put an idea on paper quickly and easily, so they only draw the details that ar

My doctor works like that and I love it. I've never had to wait in a waiting room or anything, appointments start promptly and last as long as they need to (I've had an appointment last over 2 hours). She charges $220/hr, but after insuranc

"In 2011, the US GNP was 15,097,083 million USD." That should be 15 trillion (definitely not ~15,000,000,000,000 :p )

They could place any restrictions on it they want if they keep both keys secret. They could also just keep all the bitcoins in the same wallet, and keep track of how much each account owns.

seeed studio (3 E's in seeed) makes PCBs, starting around $20 for 10. I've ordered a few from them, always good quality but shipping from China is a little slow.
