I just want a world where you go into a cell store, and they don't tell you they've got a great idea, just make your PIN your birthdate. If they actually took part that seriously, most identification could be done with a PIN or a

On BSD (including Mac OS X), you can also type ^t at dd, and it will print status information. If that doesn't work, do stty status ^t first. This is SIGINFO; it's been in BSD for a long time, but isn't in Linux and is relati

Of course that's not true. All you must do is find a counterparty willing to take Facebook stock as payment for Amazon stock. (I am not aware of any exchange listing such a contract, but it's certainly possible over the counter.

Well the IPO price is the price at which the company sold new stock to the public. Then the price moves however the market causes the price to move. They're not going to sell new stock to the public, but the price will move however t

There is none. On the first day of trading there would be an opening auction as is done with every other stock listed on the NYSE. Prior to open, everyone interested in trading submits his orders. Then as many shares as can be traded are

cat could tell but it probably wouldn't be a good design. Calling isatty is easy, and I think GNU cat already does so and buffers differently. But how can it tell what raw binary data did to your terminal? First you'd need to prog

The shell needs to print a prompt and read input. This is I/O, which involves the kernel. The shell is (when running interactively) attached to some terminal. These days it's usually a pseudo-terminal with a terminal emulator like

I always set network.IDN_show_punycode to true in Firefox to force it to show me ASCII. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I spoke another language, but as it is, the risk of lookalike characters is too great to allow them to display.

Lawyers are rather fond of such doublets and triplets. Consider free and clear, null and void, terms and conditions, and even law and order. The origin of a lot of legalisms is the historical confusion over language in ancient English court

I haven't needed to configure X on OpenBSD at least five years now. The X server does that automatically, just like on Linux. For the record, I haven't needed to on FreeBSD either, but I've run that much more sporadically, so

Just so you and others know, the L in ALSA stands for Linux. It doesn't run on DragonFlyBSD. I think DragonFlyBSD uses a re-implementation of the OSS API that they inherited from FreeBSD. The other BSDs use /dev/audio, which

The OpenBSD developers are unwilling to do anything that makes some architectures better than others, and M:Tier is unwilling to build stable updates for everything. Perhaps this will change one day as hardware continues to consolidate, but

I like that. It helps me to see where one comment ends and another begins. I can't stand these modern sites which have no borders at all, making it very hard to visually distinguish separate posts.

It gets even less useful as time goes on. Eventually it'll say one year ago. A timestamp would give the exact time rather than a huge range.

It's not being updated at all. You are looking at the version in ports. This can be updated to a GPLv3 version (as 4.9.3 is a GPLv3 version) just fine. I don't know why it isn't; perhaps there's some porting problem and

I've had the same results as you, though without the glasses. I really don't understand why people prefer such blurry fonts. The biggest practical problem I've had with turning antialiasing off though is badly hinted web font

OS X's libsandbox is much closer to SELinux. It's MAC-based (mandatory access control not Macintosh) and is actually TrustedBSD under the covers. Pledge simply disallows access to syscalls and paths outside a list. It's not v

That won't work because exec resets pledge. A very important part of pledge's design is that a parent can be more restricted than its child. This isn't a sandboxing mechanism. It's intended to mitigate the dangers of som
