Interesting one. Does the sync work as well as Dropbox?

LOL. Most certificate authorities are just saying 'here's what this guy told us his name is'. Basically worthless.
But it's nice to have a near monopoly service that's no better than a self signed certificate.

Also, the laws are a bit idiotic. It's not like the ones actually exploiting the vulnerability will care that it's illegal.
They need a whistleblower exception :)

... that "digital magazine" mention is the really scary part. That's wasted effort with a 98% chance they'll get it wrong.
Obligatory xckd: http://xkcd.com/1174/

... I'll have to pay extra to get a car without a fucking touch screen?

Not like the carriers currently define it, that's fo' sure.

... will help me get a cheap unlimited cellular data plan how?

Wake me up when we have unlimited cell phone data instead.

The real article would be titled "file systems with no data redundancy and no checksums are vulnerable to bitrot".
That covers about any file system with the lone exception of ZFS when ran on a raid, maybe btrfs? and i guess some mainframe stuff.

However, Cisco should have kept their stupid mouth shut in this case, because even if they meant what you think they meant, they are only muddling the net neutrality issue further.

How fast will it "biodegrade" while it's actually used to, say, sustain a bridge? :)

But most of the indies are also on PC, so why spend extra on another console?
Not to mention my backlog of ps3 games ;)
You can keep your PS4, I'll wait.

Wii may have few interesting games, but there are almost no titles for the PS4 either. The sweet spot to buy a PS4 will be next year, or when you'll hopefully have something to play on it.

I favour commercial games under wine. With the NVidia binary drivers, a lot of them work well. Anecdotically, back when I was playing World of Warcraft I had better performance on Linux with Wine than on Windows :)
Open source games are unfortunately just NES-era clones and multiplayer-only shooters. Open source can do much better than commercial at infrastructure type software, but the same doesn't go when making a coherent entertainment experience...

As far as I know the only way to get good gaming performance on Linux is by using the proprietary drivers on a NVidia card.
Has anything changed lately?
