Oh yes, for sure. The reason I initially was going to vote the comment down was because I percieved it as casting blame, on children no less.

Even so, the comment is still basically true. Europe of that time was a very different place, where wanting to grow up to be a soldier and go and fight and kill fellow Europeans was a laudable ambition, not just in Germany. It doesn't make the loss of life any less tragic, but it's also important not to over-sentimentalise things because that can blind you to the stark realities.

I think all of Europe learned some valuable lessons from WW2. I hope Japan did too. Overall I'm very proud of my nation's role in history, as a Brit, but we perpetrated enough massacres and precipitated enough famines that it's tinged with a realisation that my heritage carries a fair few obligations with it as well.

One of the main reasons Ubuntu got popular (compared to other distros) on Sri Lanka because they shipped free CDs. Lots of people in Sri Lanka didn't have Cable or DSL internet connections by that time. It was limited to a smaller area of the country - even when people had it, it was 512kbps.

Yes its strange to think, under guild systems of suspicion and secrecy, that anything like these amazing contrivances could be designed and built. Were these Newton-grade geniuses? Skilled mechanics? Nerds of another age?

Just saw a so-so documentary on glass, which included the insight that Venice has had glass guilds for 500 years. During the whole time they've flourished under a system of knowledge sharing, where the old masters taught anyone (in the guild) who would listen, their techniques. Made Venice an amazing place, for glassmaking and lensmaking.
Warty Warthog happened to match my ideal environment out-of-the-box. With Fedora, Suse I'd have to to install my preferred apps, configure Gnome the way I like, with Warty it was all already there. Also it had modern kernel with lots of stuff in it. For me specifically it was SATA support and PPTP encryption stuff.

Given how ubiquitous Apple laptop hardware is, and how few models there are, I've never quite understood why Canonical hasn't invested more into a goal of ensuring perfect operation on Apple hardware. Maybe they have, and there are simply limits to what they can achieve.

Yes but on the same argument the average person is more secure trusting the TLS/SSL icon on their browser than not.

This is one of my problems with the blog post is its self contradictory.

On the other hand, "We need to whine about how insecure and buggy TLS/SSL is."

Self contradiction.

If the point of gmail is to herd people to the most secure platform, then you can't tell people to not trust TLS since its really is the most secure platform for web communication.

At the WWI memorial they provide some insight into the prevailing mindset of that age. 40 years before WWII, Darwin published his famous work. It got applied to everything, including nations.

Well it's not that strange; in many EU countries most people also only speak their own language. I'm not sure it's more normal in the EU to speak two languages than the US. I'm from the Netherlands so I have a skewed perspective on all it considering all the people I know speak 3-5 languages well enough to hold a non casual conversation. 20% is rather a tiny % for my taste anyway, so not difficult to be an bigoted European as the chances of running into a non 1st / 2nd gen American who speaks two languages is just not very high. And seems tv-shows / films want to push that idea a bit more by, whenever someone blurts out a foreign sentence, making it grammatically wrong and pronunciation wise a complete joke (no-one would recognise it as the target language if they didn't say it explicitly). Not that i'm saying tv shows are a good reflection of how it is, but a lot of people don't know any different... (Same vice versa by the way).

Its a myth that home-schooling shorts social interaction. Its part of the curriculum like anything else. You manage it with outings, sports, music groups.

funny. just because a server is located in DE doesn't imply any security against 3-letter agencies at all: all US companies are required to hand over all data, and lie about this fact.

So please, do not mislead your customers: their data ist NOT secure against spying, industrial espionage,.... whenever it's stored on AWS, DropBox and all these other 'cloud' services. Usage of ANY US-based 'cloud' provider is illegal under the BDSG (as long as we talk data related to individuals). The stupid 'safe haven' regulation cannot be upheld anymore and will eventually be turned down by European/German courts.
I think Volvo is working on such a concept - a human driver in the front-most car, with other cars following in a train. Cars can join and leave the train as their occupiers want. This is envisioned for use on the freeway, no idea of the actual development progress or if it's just a concept.

I am not trying to be offensive, but I have never ever understood how can home schooling possibly work. The sheer amount of knowledge that is covered at school seems like way too much for a parent or even two to teach.

Where I come from home schooling is incredibly rare(partially because it's illegal, unless you have a disability).

Right, and I don't think the author necessarily disagrees with the idea of including TouchID in Apple products as an alternative to 'completely unlocked'.

As the author indicates, "This isn't a knock on Apple, as Thinkpad have embedded fingerprint readers for nearly a decade. My intention is to help stop and think about the place of biometrics in security."

The danger is viewing biometrics as a secure alternative to passwords; it's not. But comparatively few people are technically inclined enough to realize that; with Apple embracing it for convenience, we run the risk of people not understanding the security implications; the author saw evidence of that when asked to implement biometrics for file encryption, which is a terrible idea.

“Justice” in the U.S. has always been a bad joke. The best you can hope for is a completely random outcome (“a jury of your peers“, what a laugh), or, as in this case, a politically motivated campaign that ignores truth, decency, all due process, and the principles why we have something like laws in the first place. In the Silk Road case the pure unadulterated power of corruption would have been completely sufficient to reach the outcome; bothering the law with that is nothing but an embellishment and a fig leaf. I feel reminded of Iraq's WMDs and the embarrassing spectacle around Kim Dotcom. Seems like the U.S. gov't will spread publicly any lies that seem convenient at the time, never mind the consequences.

Yup, the free CDs is what I remember as the first thing about Ubuntu - and the fact that it worked out of the box.

There is a fun story as well:
We were in college (in India) at the time and my friend went ahead and ordered 100 CD's or so (they actually encouraged it at the time for distribution). The package arrived at the local Post Office after a few weeks and he was asked to go collect it, which seemed strange. Anyways, he went and to his wonder was told to pay import duty on it by the customs! He argued for a while saying it was educational material and that it was being shipped for free - to no avail. He finally gave up and asked them to keep it for themselves and walked out.

In the end, they chased after him before he left the premises and gave it to him - no import duty, nothing.

I got my CD from this set. :)
