I really don't have any use for ReactOS, but thanks for the pointer. Perhaps others who read this might find it interesting.
Over the course of time I have discovered and reported bugs in programs like Libreoffice and Scribus, anaconda and even ncurses on one rather memorable occasion. But all of that software is of use, value and interest to me. ReactOS isn't.
Could someone tell me why we would want to do unpaid labour for Microsoft?
I'm quite prepared to test and help support Linux and open source projects. Microsoft? Not so much....
I used to mail cheques to the utility companies and credit card companies and whatnot, but then I discovered that I can pay all of those bills at the bank down the street. They don't charge me anything for taking those payments, either, so it's definitely cheaper than paying for a stamp, an envelope, and a cheque. And it's right down the street so I can walk in, pay cash and get a stamped receipt on the spot.
I'm sure someone is paying them for the service of taking my money and sending it on like that but that someone isn't me, so I'm pretty happy about that. It saves a lot of stamps, and cheques.
When I send a package from the post office here, they weigh and measure it, determine the price for the postage, and print a sticker with that amount on it. They slap the sticker on the package and that's all there is to it.
I don't remember the last time I sent or received a package that had real stamps plastered on it. Letter mail sometime does, and letter mail that I send out always does since I purchase a roll of stamps once in a while for that purpose. But not packages.
That's interesting. The link disappeared when I posted the message, even though it was present in the original.
Here it is again.
Here is a list of the 10,000 most commonly used passwords. Perhaps a list like this should be incorporated into account setup programs to disallow words on this list:

Audio applications? I use my phone to play music and listen to mp3's of old time radio plays regularly. It even automatically connects with the stereo system in my truck so I can play stuff off of my phone while I'm driving.
As with so many other things in life, there are degrees involve.
Not everyone who "doesn't want to be tracked" wishes to live in a log cabin in the forest. The fact that I have a smart phone doesn't imply permission to follow me around with a camera-equipped drone all day. And I might sometimes leave my phone at home when I go out, too.
Indeed. I've "disabled" Flipboard on my Galaxy S3 several times, but it keeps on getting updated and showing up again.
What in the blue schmoo is Flipboard and why would I want it on my phone anyway? It seems like one of those things that I would install myself if I wanted it; since I didn't, I don't.
There is a popular misconception that computer science == computer programming, and that is not the case.
It sounds like you got a degree in computer science but are looking for a job as a programmer. When you state your work was on a technical topic with little practical application... you have put your finger on the problem.
Your wish has been granted. epel provides Mate for RHEL/Centos 7.
Define "operating in the US". Does it include a business who has a US-based supplier, for example, even if the said business doesn't actually sell any products or services in the US?
Since the right to be forgotten appears to apply only to search engines and not to first parties (for lack of a better term), it doesn't apply to facebook.
Facebook stores the file directly and are not a mere search engine indexing the content of a third party site.
Over $25 million dollars was spent to install a battery, transmitter and microphone into a cat, with an antenna in its tail.
They dropped the cat off to eavesdrop on two men in a park near the Soviet Embassy in Washington DC. The cat was hit and killed by a taxi while walking across the road.
The project was expensive, gruesome, and a failure. It was abandoned in 1967.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
