If the situation in Italy actually got bad, the EU would suspend Italy's membership or at least many EU rights (such as freedom of movement) very quickly. As usual, everyone likes their neighbors until they don't.

Everyone said this about global surveillance before Snowden and yet. I don't see the value in questioning if this is true or not, rather I think we should assume it's true and act as such, isn't that what modern security is a

Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela (when you could actually vote) are also federations (and not the only ones). Brazil's population is 210M and Mexico 126M. They all have national identity cards which can be used for voting like the

Can you expand on what do you mean by "just popped open the kernel"? I'm genuinely interested in this kind of "tribal knowledge" you talk about. Maybe there is something we (those reading this thread) could learn an

Being able to get root access to your phone just like you do with a normal computer would also be nice. We are increasingly losing the right to actually control our devices as time goes on, and it scares me. Especially since you can't

I am also grateful for PortableApps.com. Along with Scoop and Homebrew, they make using a system without root or admin privileges a really nice experience, in both Windows and Linux. My sincere thanks to John and all the PortableApps.com co

It would not surprise me if that was the case. I do get that "video paused" popup every once in a while, but I have never seen the looping behavior. If this is happening to you a lot, a cool way to get around it can be using mpv&#

Thanks for commenting. My current job involves working (though in a minimal way) with a heavily modified install of Rocked U2 which has its own version control, kind of its own BASIC dialect and I can only agree with what you say. It also f

I would think many of those visits are for business or seeing family. Plus the fact that many of the tourists come from countries in the Visa Waiver Program [1]. An ESTA is much less involved than a B1/B2 visa application. [1]: https:
