Why don't the US ask Russia which one they're going to, and beg for a lift.

It's been working for the local service...

You missed one major technical rule: all browsers on iOS that support local rendering are required to use the system rendering engine.

Actually, no, I'm pretty sure they're just not allowed to use any JavaScript engine other than the built-in JavaScriptCore. And as of iOS 7, it's theoretically possible to actually do so without using WebKit.

Is that true? systemd requires /usr in / ? I used to part all to hell, across spindles - when that was a significant performance issue.

It also made versioning backups of some trees really simple, with cpio, etc.

It's not willful ignorance. It's actually a legitimate question. From everything I've read, there are roughly two types of revenge porn:

• Fake revenge porn, in which someone pretends that he or she is getting revenge on a former significant other so that people will be more turned on, but in reality, it's just commercial porn, and legal.
• Fake revenge porn, in which someone surreptitiously cracks into the victim's computer and records that person in his or her own home, which is already illegal. And this is what the lawsuits have mainly been about.

I suspect that the real revenge porn, if it even exists, is just about lost in the noise caused by the two forms listed above.

... the homeowner does NOT automatically gain the right to record the guest WITHOUT permission.

If that were true, then "NannyCam" footage would be inadmissable. Different states have different laws that carve out specific places where recording is not allowed—most forbid recording in bathrooms, for example—but as a rule, if you're in someone else's home, you should generally assume that you have little or no right to privacy.

OK. That was GREAT!

Three letter answer: NSA.

A kid'll use Ubuntu, too.
Wouldn't you?

Bob is my hope.

Cue George Costanza.

Plutocracy! Money is speech. Some have more speech than others. Speech is a vote, and wealth is created through application of fiscal policy.

I repeat: wealth is created through application of fiscal policy. If any of our friends here disagree with that, they must explain how any man does 500 million dollars worth of work.

Kay is either an arrogant asshat or an aspberger's victim. Either way, he hasn't demonstrated an interest in collaborating on a solution for the whole forest, over the pure vision of his one, true tree.

Without Linus, Linux is doomed.

From the previous message in the thread, to which Linus was reacting:

I don't care if Kay wrote "Jesus 2.0". He broke kernel debugging for all development and responded to this with arrogant platitudes based on architecture principle, rather than join with cooperative interest to seek a solution.

Linus was restrained, in response to such a "community contributor". This is the Linux kernel, not Oxford dons, vying for college chairs.

I was referring to normal traffic lights that lack any indication of when the light is about to change, not the rare lights with countdown timers or the hypothetical lights with a dashboard assist. The split-second decision to floor it or slam on the brakes is a bigger problem when you're accelerating from a stop as the light changes to yellow, not when you're going way over the speed limit, for two reasons: A. there may not be any choice that doesn't result in either getting rear-ended or being in the middle of the light when it turns green in the other direction, and B. your foot is on the wrong pedal to stop, adding critical latency to that decision, should you choose to stop.

Oh, how you DO babble-on!
