Nothing there says criminal penalties.
Also, it says that the actors must be outside of the United States. Remind me again, but Snowden did all of his stuff inside of the United States, right?
As usual, non-lawyers read something think it means something that makes them upset, and it spreads and no one actually sits down to read the actual law.
No link? [citation needed]
There's no point making a phone that can be repaired and maintaned for twenty years when next year's model will have twice the memory and three times the processing power, and a radio that moves bits twice as fast too.
We could have said the same about desktop PCs back in the day, but we didn't.
I initially thought that the reason What this actually means is not completely certain at this point" was because the product had been announced. Then I saw a big fat "download the free community edition" link, and realized that this was another one of those journalistic failures that Phoronix calls "articles". Seriously, how hard is it to try out the product you're reporting on for 3 seconds to see if the feature that your article is reporting on exists?

So I had to go to one of those trendy office furniture shops that seem infest Stockholm like gnats around a bowl of fruit, and pay about 40% more for it. OTOH, it came with a 3-year warranty, it *works*, and I might even be able to deduct some of it from my taxes this year.
If you work at a desk, GET ONE.
Spewed chocolate bunnies inside to make the enemies lapse into a diabetic coma...
I think that's a wonderful idea. Say, I've been looking for a potential Kickstarter for some time now...
That sounds a bit like claiming to be celibate while boasting that you've the neighbourhood's biggest and best porn archive.
The best way to deal with a mosquito is to give it just what it wants. At about 5x normal pressure/flow rate.
IOW you wait until the little bastard lands on your arm, give a little squeeze, and--boom! No more mozzie.
Sounds cool. Can you get one of those with a remote?
It says something about the countries I've lived in, perhaps.
