Hello

can someone tell me how there is free movmenet of EU citizens to the UK?
The UK is not in the Schengen area. Not at all. Switzerland is more in Schengen area than the UK, and Switzerland is not even EU member.
Each time I travel to the UK I have to provide an IDcard/passport.
That's not free movement, there is an actual boder to cross. Even if you take the train through the tunnel, there are border controls.

has Microsoft brought out *any* product running on linux?

Make the default into metric system, even if you set language to english.
Every new installation I have to wade through libreoffice settings to get it to print on A4 and measure stuff in mm.

A bigger part of the world uses metric, so linux should too. Canonical has a big influence and could make upstream changes to make this into reality.

I basically like to hit all USA users wanting to print on Letter needing to research this stupid stuff instead of the rest of the world.
But you could create a "Imperial" package which changes all settings to suit the USA 19th century way.

remember those little annoying things. The smartphone has taken it's place. "Reply to me", "watch me", "tell me this and that"

Only after reading a 3rd time I finally noticed that it's not a reality show based on the movie "Planet of the Apes" :-)

You can find USB charging or even power outlets in a plane. So removing batteries from the game is not stopping the threat.

The real threat is that the "battery" in a laptop can be the explosive. DAESH recovered an x-ray machine and engineered their explosive hiding technique to be indistinguishably from a battery.

Now that all batteries are banned, they will put the explosives inside their bodies. Where you can hide drugs, you can also hide a bomb.

well, windows still uses unsalted MD4

6 char password => expires in 1 hour
8 chars => 1 day
10 chars => 1 week
12 chars => 3 months
14+ chars => 1 year

So making long passwords would make you change only every year.

instead of storing stuff on disk, just stream it from one server to the next, forever on a gigantic loop.
And so the video goes round and round the earth, lives in the cables, switches, and routers.
But is never downloaded or stored, it's streaming forever.

can you give examples? I have no idea if reed-solomon is cascading error correction.

There are several projects/tools out there.

I used par2 to put my videos on CD-R, but those are now 10 years old and I did not check if it's still readable :-)
