I always assumed that punishments were to keep people honest and prevent crime but keeping people honest. Not for the sake of revenge.
So you need to go to haul thrive the next guy pause.

That's what I was thinking. The whole summary made me sick. Justice isn't a code word for vengence.

There's an argument to be made for execution, if someone is deemed beyond redemption, but to invent drugs to extend punishment is horrible. Unless the idea is someone can be released in a week, and become productive rather than a drain on society.

I'm pretty sure that it's constantly getting more stable, and if OpenSUSE is using it, they probably did vet it.

I'm pretty sure the only point of distros like OpenSUSE or Fedora are to get wide testing on new technologies (this is good, and running them is a great way to give back to the community).

I would guess that in a year btrfs is going to be the default in general, but it takes someone to make the leap of faith to start that rolling. If no main stream distro adopts ever, it will by tautology never be the default.

Props to OpenSUSE!, good luck to their users, or more realistically, not bad luck.

More likely scenario,

Most OpenSUSE users use it because they generally like, and trust, the choices of OpenSUSE. This trust may be misplaced, we'll know soon, but in the learning, we'll have a MUCH better understanding of how ready btrfs is to move past the beta testing zone (or if OpenSUSE bosses are right, proven to be past there).

Defaults matter, reputations of Linux distros can shatter on them, because we're not passive users, and thought they aren't all drop in replacements, as non-passive users, they're close enough.

And fully supported means experimental?

The Binding of Isaac disagrees.

Great game!

A yellow icon that is quite obvious, and an information button telling you why you got the ad?

It's pretty obvious even at a glance, in fact, I'd say the color that is distinct, and no where else on the page makes it easier to see.

I click on ads all the time.

When I'm trying to do commerce, I find it a better experience clicking on the ad links. If a company is paying for ads, they likely also work on UX of their site too.

Car shopping? the first link is usually the manufacturers link, that's convenient too, and local dealerships. Perhaps that's blackmail though, because the first organic result tends to be the company too.

If people are willing to pay to give me information based on my search, there's a decent chance they have what I'm looking for, that's often a great way to find worthwhile links. This is all simply for when I'm looking to do business though, most of my searches don't apply.

What does style over substance mean in this context? The only thing I can think is design over specs?

That's not a strictly Japanese, or apple thing though. It's what makes an M3 better than a neon srt (obviously other things, this is an extreme example, as they were priced no where similar ).

The iPhone provided a good browser experience, yes, it wasn't 3g, but the browser was great, and there was WiFi. Everything you wanted to read on a phone, you could see twice as much of on an iPhone, calendars were better, text histories were better, maps were better, reading email was better. These are all arguably things of style, but it me for a better phone.

Style is how you get more out of the same substance, and it counts for a lot. It's why pottery is worthless, while others is priceless.

Gold (vs bread, or guns, or cars, or gas, or pretty much anything ) is not particularly stable.

This.

Traditional companies have made is so going with them is not the long term job security it once was. If there's not going to be security, best to go for the big pay off.

It's not the tech geeks that will do this, we'll be happy to have a phone charger and a headphone jack. Or a tablet mounted to the dash, that shares phone data, something that will have a better interface (if sync is any indication, the rental I had with that was like they tried to make the interface suck, 3 layers deep of menu, 2 different areas with the same caption, just to get my bluetooth music to play, oh, and every start, it reset to voice only from bluetooth).

This will be sold so rich non-geeks can have Pandora (or the clearchannel one most likely) radio without effort at all.

The reason touch is so important, is not that it's a better device (though I think it is for web browsing on a small screen that's already in your hand), but because it allows double the screen size. Granted, you can add 20% to phone thickness to get the screen back, and have it giant, chunky, and oddly waited in keyboard mode, or you can give up half the screen for a keyboard.

The iPhone started with the premise "we have the tech to make a good browsing experience, let's find a way to add a phone" (at least that's what it seems like). This was a wacky premise if you did consumer research (it was a solid few years before I stopped hearing complaints about how I want a phone that's just a phone constantly), but it proved to be a clearly superior experience.

Touch isn't the killer feature, it's the enabler of a good screen.

So, what's a good way to protect against password reuse that doesn't cost more cognitive effort on the users than money saved?

Perhaps lock to DoS is too big a problem, though I'd think CAPTHCA a few times could significantly reduce that risk on a large scale (I assume CAPTCHAs still have some use, as I still deal with them regularly, and they dramatically drop comment spam).

Sitename in random part of password is better than not having it, as it should have low cognitive cost, and provide decent protection from password reuse attacks (when coupled with lock-out for bad password).

Agreed, if it weren't for Netflix, I'd drop my cable and just use my phone's hotspot function (2.5 GB free, and reasonable additional use, and all phone based usage is the secret truly unlimited separate cap).

I guess I buy PS3 games too, so it may stick around, but maybe not, $45/month buys me 4GB extra, if I played games online it'd be different though, the latency sucks on my phone, but the throughput is actually faster than Comcast in the evening (I get 20/10 on my phone).
