In this case, it is not the device itself - it is the web site.

strava.com allows the user to mark every run/ride/swim/etc as public or private. You'd think that members of the military would be smart enough and tech savvy enough to mark their uploads as private; yet here we are. This isn't a technology problem, it's simple user error.

I think it's called "marketing".

Sad that the highly paid Cupertino employees get a bonus, but the assembly line staff in China still get far far less than minimum wage.

Zuckerberg is personally trying to screw over the people of Hawaii to make his mammoth estate even bigger, by stealing public land.... so I think being a dick just comes naturally to him.

Internally all these companies preach "Agile" and "continuous software delivery". Guess that's just all to pacify upper management, since it isn't really working.

That's why "faith based" is still permitted.

You sound like one of those weenie user-space developers.

The answer to "is Microsoft screwing us" is always yes.

Quick quiz for you: what cell phones are NOT made in China?

He *would* have won the award, but your driving ruined that opportunity. Now he's free to reproduce and pass on the stupid gene to his kids.

If slashdot puts up a story for every linux kernel release, they'd better buy more server space.

>> Asynchronously, about 60 seconds after boot, a systemd timer fires which runs "/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news --force"

So: proof positive that systemd is an evil tool of the devil.

Will it run linux?

Set them up for people driving without a front license plate.

  - it's an equipment violation, so it attatches to the registered owner; doesn't matter who is driving
  - trivially easy to prove with two photographs; one of front, one of rear
  - huge number of people to target
  - doesn't pick on any minority, ethnic group, or economic class: everyone is issued two plates

Depends on whether you're buying pirated DVDs from that shady guy beside the 7-11, or downloading and burning them yourself.

And, I already *have* NetFlix; watching one more movie doesn't raise the cost at all. I pay $9.99 a month so others in the family don't beat me up for cancelling NetFlix; so anything I watch myself is free.

This is a geek site. I didn't think I needed to add the disclaimer "with the right kind of knowledge".

You need the right kind of knowledge to do anything with the USB port as well. Just sticking in a USB stick with "ABBA's Greatest Hits" on it won't work. (Well, maybe in a Volvo.....)
