Comment S2S STARTTLS? (Score 2) 32
Hope some Googler can answer this:
Why is Google not enabling STARTTLS on S2S XMPP connections?
It baffles me that emails I send to Gmail users are more safe from eavesdropping than IMs.

Good job, you just managed to get a link without rel=nofollow
Slashcode ftw!
Forget the cloud, here comes LEO!
KTorrent; just try to play a multimedia file in the built-in media player while it is being downloaded. It even pauses gracefully when there's a data gap ahead.
Yeah, that can be irritating at first, indeed.
Luckily, you can turn it off at System Settings > Workspace appearance > Configure Decoration > Shadows tab.
...Oh, and the screenlock refused to work. After having spent over a day trying to get my workstation back into a state where I could actually _work_, I said "stuff it" and installed WindowMaker, grabbed a few dock-apps by source, hacked my xsession to configure my dual-screen setup, set up the ssh-agent, xlock, etc etc. I really haven't missed having to do all of that manually, but by golly, right now there doesn't seem to be an easily usable alternative!
I've installed my last Ubuntu system, that's for sure.
Just a wild ass guess here, but it sounds like you were hacking on a Debian-based system as if it was Slackware. This may be helpful if you decide to give it another chance.
P.S. Switching to a different theme is a good and fast way to wipe all the flashiness off KDE (and especially Plasma) in short order. I must admit though, it's the first time I've heard of Oxygen described as flashy.
X11 supports touch, as does Wayland of course.
The amazing GUI you saw in that video is built on Qt, and can be run on any platform supported by it with some minimal effort.
"theme based icon recoloring" is implemented in the GUI toolkits.
"1/4 sizing screens" is a job for the compositor, in either system.
The biggest user-visible difference between Wayland and X11 will be tear-free display in all circumstances, provided the application's developer has half a clue.
The biggest differences for developers will be the sane (for today's requirements) architecture and vastly simplified API (a big deal in itself).
Search for any given infohash on Google and see for yourself how many indexers there are other than TPB (with many more appearing every day). Somehow I feel they won't all disappear, not until we get a World Government, or something.
Now, in case they all disappear before we get the aforementioned government, DHT can still do the job, even if it's a bit slow. It also is kinda searchable by the way, and expect to see supernode-based structures for fast in-client searching in the future (if they don't already exist, I'm not up to date on the subject).
From my experience when I seed a torrent on the sute [sic] (legal ones by the way)...
Good job declaring that, you should be safe from the boogeyman now.
OLE embedding? (ducks)
Rooting for software patents, or the ones asserting them, only keeps the barriers to entry in place for FLOSS projects and small businesses.
Unless you are a shareholder of the patent-asserting company, or in its payroll, it doesn't make any sense to defend them.
First steps I do after creating a new Firefox profile:
After all of this, I can enable referer sending or cookie/other data persistence per site using RefControl or Firefox's Page Info dialog.
Also, I try to restart the browser at least once a day.
It should be obvious from the above that a) I'm only against being tracked across the web, not ads or analytics done on the same site, and b) it's an uphill battle, and ultimately futile as most browsers (and especially Plugins) leak information in any way they can (plugin/font/javascript feature lists and many more) by default.
Browsers other than Firefox are even worse at this, as they don't allow Extensions to interfere with requests as much. And of course, as soon as you run a Plugin it is game over for privacy on that site at best.

Another FLOSS project maintainer echoing this sentiment:
And: we do not want normal users to report bugs against X2Go. Someone who can handle debbugs will probably also write propert bug reports. It’s rather a tool for us developers and for power users of X2Go.
Either you directly translate it to Python:
def read_file(filename):
file = open(filename)
lines = [line.rstrip('\r\n') for line in file]
file.close()
data = {}
for line in lines:
key, value = line.split('=')
data[key] = value
return data
Or you don't:
def read_file(filename):
with open(filename) as file:
return dict(line.rstrip('\r\n').split('=', 1) for line in file)
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
