The North. Kendal, specifically.

One day Virgin will route a cable our way, and life will be good. Until then we're stuck with BT and their 200 year old copper (and a few cell towers without enough power to drill through the stone buildings in town, let alone the little hills around it).

I would love to be proven that I'm wrong, but I don't think they allow for bidirectional, lossless conversion, namely graph -> text and text -> graph? Do they? If so, then you are right, the statement is wrong and we will change it on our website.

>Suddenly this room that is filled with wires, beeping machines, scary stuff even to adults, it can become fun, it can become 'their' ICU. Think a boggart from Harry Potter, what is scary is now funny. Mario or Iron Man is now dancing on the ventilator. Imagine the healing that can come from bedridden patients that can take a walk in their backyards again, that can play again with their dogs.

On the one hand, I did once calm down in a hospital waiting room (literally a separate room, because reasons) from watching James and the Giant Peach and/or Pokemon the Movie (I can't remember if those are the same or different occasions at a hospital). On the other hand, if someone tried to fill my hospital room with marketing-ridden branded "content" anytime into or past my teens, I would probably pitch a fit and go psychotic.
I feel as if these horror stories are why Amazon wants to get heavily into the shipping/delivery/freight industries these days. They can't rely on the shipping services currently available to handle their wares reliably and professionally.
Java is an obvious example.
Real robots will have their second and third laws swapped. Robots are expensive and humans are stupid. Robots will politely refuse any order which will damage them - for example, a self-driving car isn't going to drive into a wall even if it's empty and you order it to do so.
Switch to T-Mobile. Unlimited data + LTE.
There are plenty of tablets with cellular antenna though (not all of them have voice call functionality, but that's mostly just a software limitation). And with VoIP and instant messaging apps even WiFi-only device can fulfill "phone" roles.

Who is this user though? Apple has Finder, Microsoft: Explorer, Android/iOS: nothing, and unless they've installed the CLI/minimal edition of a linux distro it has a file manager and they launch it not by selecting the application from a menu but clicking on a folder icon.

Making the name basically irrelevant unless they need to ask a question about it in which case enter googlability.
It's sloppy to call a vulnerability a backdoor. Yes, Apple failed to fully secure the 5c and may even possibly have failed to fully secure the 6s against this attack. So it is vulnerable to this attack, but the backdoor doesn't currently exist.

Also, I would expect if it is technically possible, that Apple will be pushing an iOS update which closes this particular vulnerability going forward. Obviously not an update the FBI will be installing on this particular phone!

I believe their intent is to make iOS secure even against an adversary that has physical possession of the phone and even against an adversary with the ability to sign custom builds.
The difference is that it's verbosity and pretty-print is the default for how2, and I think that's the more sensible choice, because it saves me the trouble of having to remember how to invoke it with flags just to get decent output from it.

I'm only doing this because of the topic of conversation, but you probably meant to say that your point was a bit exaggerated instead of exuberant (which means something along the lines of energetically happy).

That's the only mistake I noticed reading through, so I have to congratulate you - I wouldn't've noticed you weren't a native speaker.

The article is arguing that tech companies used to operate with impunity and are now facing tougher times.

Which company operated without consequences? Microsoft had to decouple IE years ago, and other monopolies have been forced to break apart or sell off pieces. Software patents have caused plenty of headaches and force us to walk on egg shells, hire expensive defense attorneys, or lobby congress for more reasonable laws that promote innovation.

This article is all over the place. Leader or not, it's too unfocused to make sense. It's clear whoever compiled and published it does not really understand tech.
That is a really good point. I suspect in 20 years we will look back and laugh at how today's VR apps kind of MIS the point of what you can do with it.

I think VR has tons of potential for office/enterprise apps because the richer spatial experience can enable new ways of visualizing and working with information.
The whole point of the complexity chrono interface is to prevent mistakes caused by accidentally mixing different units. Providing a default unsafe interface would completely defeat the point.

Yep -- this is some pretty evil rent-seeking. Unfortunately, disrupting it (i.e. automatic filing) requires political action rather than tech. For people with a single wage/salary job, the IRS already has a good idea what they owe thanks to their employers' reporting. IRS could simply mail them "we think $X is what you made, and $Y is what you owe," and they could either say "okay" if they agree, or fill out the forms otherwise.

I've had both, depending on what I was looking for at the moment. Server and/or enterprise stuff, perhaps some management system for something, never offered debs. Lots of user software seems to give me debs a lot more often than rpms. It also shifted over time I think, debs being more popular recently and rpms less so.
If you do end up switching to FreeBSD and are looking for some help, feel free to email me! It'll be a bit of the blind leading the blind; I finally got FreeBSD working [wifi, desktop] 6 months ago. But I'd been running Ubuntu for the past 5 years before this so I'm familiar with some of the transition-confusion. I've been using FreeBSD exclusively for work and and servers with the exception of work servers (which are still Ubuntu).
Small and focused is good. Keeps from having to import a huge library (e.g., math.js) for simple functions when you don't need what the rest of the library offers. Small surface.

Would I use is-even? No, I'd keep it in a local utility that bundles up other things my specific app needs, or package groups of small util libs into an app-specific uber-module.
Ubuntu is just too dated for development work IMO - I need to rebuild everything from source or find 3rd party PPA for anything remotely recent - I'm fine with compiling deps for production but for development the distro really shouldn't be getting in my way of trying new stuff out.

That said I've had many performance issues on GNOME - I like the way it looks and the "feel" and I got used to the UI over the last year or more but frankly it's constantly hogging my PC down, both desktop an laptop - when I switched to KDE/plasma 5 I saw my WebGL chrome app go from 40-50 FPS to consistent 60 FPS - both tests done after a clean start and simply starting the app letting it run for a while. The entire system feels more responsive - can't trace the issue but the results are measurable and noticeable

I've had flicker and stability issues with KDE 5 when I last tried it a year ago but now it appears quite stable. My only complaint is that themes/design community are nowhere near to Gnome.

You are being rather optimistic.

Current projections have parts of the planet already uninhabitable before the end of the century (uninhabitable as in "you die even in shade and with plenty of water"). We are messing up our grandchildren's lives.

Agreed. I've got 4G at the moment and it's plenty fast, since I can only use it for moderate surfing/etc since I'd otherwise hit my monthly cap in a week. If I had super fast 5G, I could accidentally burn through my cap in a day.
> Virtual reality.

I'm interested in VR as an alternative to purchasing a 4k monitor and/or dual monitors for programming. I don't know how I'm going to do that, pretty much all Google results for "VR programming" are about programming video games, not programming using VR as an monitor alternative. I could probably do a better job googling.
Compelling Science Fiction is a self-funded hobby -- I want to support the creation of great science fiction. Ultimately I'd like it if the project became self-sustaining, which would allow me to pay more authors more money and promote more stories.

Pragyan CTF- $1000 to be won Hurry up
Even in some parts of Cambridge 3/4G leaves a lot to be desired. EE has sometimes downtimes that can be measured in days. Its very disappointing.

Its also absurd companies offering "unlimited" mobile traffic do deep packet inspection. Whenever I try to SSH to any of my servers I get banned immediately, despite having a ridiculously low data rate.
Just having the key doesn't automatically make it easier for you to create the new IOS. That task is significantly easier for Apple to do than for you to do. Much of security is raising level of effort for an exploit to a high enough level that it's not worth the investment required to create it.

If Apple creates the new IOS for you though and all you have to do is get your hands on it then the investment required just got smaller. Any reduction in the investment required for an exploit should be very carefully evaluated. Saying things like "This can't possibly be used by someone else." is either disingenuous or signifies that you don't adequately understand the issues, or you are lying to yourself. Whichever one of those that it is. It's in Apple's and frankly my best interest that someone highlight the truth of the situation.

This is like saying

Look... We'll create a nuclear bomb but it's okay we're

Maybe you can guarantee that no one else get's enough information from you to build one. However once you've built one the chance that someone could get the information from someone involved in your project to accelerate their creation of a nuclear bomb just increased by a non-trivial amount. And the potential risks are really high. Pretending otherwise would be foolish.

With T-Mobile Austria, "unlimited" means 15 GB with throttling to ISDN speeds afterwards, with some of the worst support in continental Europe.
No, it's not. It's written by historians and they're very interested in losers and ordinary people and what they eat and what they like, etc.
Distributions manage the namespace of executables. Well, they're supposed to anyway... that's much of the complaint here about Linux Mint.

In Fedora (and most distros), programs with an executable name overlapping another program will be renamed to a unique name as part of the distro packaging. (Putting aside programs intentionally named the same thing because they provide the same function, which are managed differently via "alternatives".)

This puts some implicit pressure on creators of software to not reuse names that are already in use, which seems to work for the most part.
For some people who live near the ghetto, that's not really an option.

Won't You Watch...THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL – Flabbergasting Cover
The cellular coverage in Southeast Asia was surprising for me as well. I'd like to know the economics behind this, I guess the main considerations are:
- energy consumption
- rent for antennas on other people's houses
- data backhaul
- population density

Still not sure how that explains the differences.
It's not so surprising.

A lot of people have been jealously watching on as 'fat cat' 'tech bros' eat into their industries. Now there are signs that the market will correct and that technology companies will not continue to get free passes with which to ignore government. In short, they want to see blood and will settle to see it whichever way they can.

Tech on the whole needs to wise up politically. It cannot continue to accept the negative characterisations of its members, nor can it continue to do whatever it wants without any political ramifications. Even if we believe we're doing the right thing, we'll need to redeem ourselves in the public eye and critically evaluate solutions to social problems we've been implicated in (whether or not we are the sole cause of them.)
The author makes it sound as though he is the only to meet, appreciate and understand Trump supporters. He makes it sound as if the rest of us haven't seen, met or read these people.

Trump's support jumps when he talks against certain groups of people. It is not accidental to his support it is essential to his support. The racism isn't an anti-elitist posture, it is an essential element of his campaign.

And my PC friends don't use the term "redneck", and do not look down in disdain on poor people. Who is the author hanging out with?
Yes they are. No risk of man-in-the-middle with torrents.
> the rate their owners are burning through cash and are anticipating massive layoffs soon.

The Scott Trust, which owns the Guardian Media Group had about 1.1 billion pounds net assets, of which the vast majority are liquid, as of end of March 2015 (after they've over the last few years sold of shares in various regional newspapers and AutoTrader, shoring up their balance sheet massively).

The sole purpose of The Scott Trust is to secure The Guardian in perpetuity.

There may be layoffs at some point. There may not be. But losing money for years on end is in itself not a problem for The Guardian. They'll want to at some point trim the loss down a bit to not eat to much into the capital, but at current rates then have quite literally decades of runway.
> unusable by hijacking it's name space

That's not what was exactly written but is illuminating none-the-less (the original quote only says "name," which is a very different thing to "namespace"). Why do package managers have a single namespace to begin with? I should be able to install packages regardless of name conflicts, by using a namespace, e.g.

$> apt-get install mdm
Found org.debian.mdm and com.linuxmint.mdm.
$> apt-get install com.linuxmint.mdm
$> apt-get install org.debian.mdm

There's obviously the chance for a file system conflict, but the package manager should be able to keep track of that for you and abort if it would occur (or allow you to install it to a different prefix).

It's incredibly naive to believe that name conflicts would never occur, especially with the 3-letter acronyms/contractions that are so prevalent in Unix. I'd pin the blame this specific problem squarely on Debian, it shouldn't be happening in the first place.
That's why I stopped browsing from my phone and tablet. Completely. I read some headlines, and if I remember, I read them again using the desktop browser.
I picked up the "always use the less-than sign when you're comparing" rule of thumb from something written by Bjarne Stroustrup, though I can't find an online reference to cite. I don't always do it for single comparisons, but I do whenever there are multiple ones such as checking for whether a value is in a certain range.
Even CAD is moving to the browser. I saw Autodesk showing their CAD project in the browser in a job fair.
So neat, but wow is that not the best way of doing something. It's good publicity, but you immediately cut the amount of people who can contact you down to just programmers. Much better to have a basic site with a phone number, email and contact form.

I wrote that and then googled them, to see what they had (http://rawfunkmaharishi.uk/book-the-band/). Once again, asking to be contacted through facebook and twitter isn't really ideal, a contact form would be a welcome addition to this page.

Those explanations do not include what you're saying.

LTS or the other versions?

Any distro with a release schedule is going to have caveats about not having prebuilt packages for the latest XYZ. The only things I can think of that might give you a faster update schedule than Ubuntu (in terms of newer versions, not just point releases) would be Fedora, Arch, or Gentoo.

> 2) Very short support. You'll be stuck without updates in no time, and upgrading to possibly broken release (that might radically change things) every few months is ridiculous.

New releases are out after around 6 months. If you find release upgrades risky you can always wait a whole year and stay one release behind (any bug would have been ironed out in that time).

I usually don't update in the first couple weeks and I hadn't any problem with a Fedora upgrade in the last two/three years.
