Off topic but thanks to open pipes in between different minded individuals. 15 years of linux in an international biz and I had never heard of units.

$ rpm -qi units (edited)
Name : units

Summary : A utility for converting amounts from one unit to another

I do live in the SF bay area and it feels likes most of the rain gets immediately back to the sea. Clearly we have not reached 97 rainfalls yet, when the water went over the levies in the Sac delta IIRC. In a pile of subjective opinions, it is nice to find a rose.

Looks like one edge has to be straight

I did look for a "support" link somewhere on the front page but could not find any. "Ask Slashdot" seemed to be the only place to send my question.

From both the app website (http://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/adaway/) and F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway), this statement seems incorrect.

"Requires root: Yes. The hosts files is located in /system which is normally read-only."

It is news for nerds after all.

xfinity bundled (digital premier) services 209.95 additional xfinity internet services (modem) 7.00 additional xfinity voice services (mandatory taxes) 1.60 service protection plan 2.99 taxes, surcharges and fees 10.95 It is my only possible internet provider, and the only shows I occasionally watch are on these premier channels satturated with crappy soft porn. Seriously, that is a lot of money to get internet and occasionally watch a football or a tennis game. $10 for 50GB really is a rip-off at this point.
Only because they have a monopoly can they charge this much for their services _and_ the upload speed is still capped at a 100KB when I am lucky, so forget hosting anything.
Only positive point: customer service has improved a lot in the last 5,6 years.
I tried AT&T, but their service is the worst I have ever experienced, from cell phones data to dsl.
Sometimes I really wish I could teleport to Seoul...

I am sure that at least in the US, reviews like Point Of Beginning , Inside GNSS, Professional Surveyor Magazine or GPS World will be interested if the work is valid.

That is what they promised, and why I signed up for Hotmail. It was free, it was great, it was _independent_.

It was 1995. I knew I would physically move within the global village, and I needed a permanent address. Microsoft very quickly bought this successful idea, crippled it but did not, to its credit and my surprise, completely kill it. My addresses are still valid, I still use them, and among the international spam, I can still receive messages from my friends.

Comcast offers a miserable storage space for a maximum fee and arbitrarily bounces emails when they do not come from the same zip code. Notifiying the recipient is obviously beyond their ability. That is true, they could do even worse and drop the messages altogether and never notify the sender either.

That being said. It did hurt me hard when Hotmail was acquired by the Evil Empire. MSN is as much as I can take today. If I have to see Microsoft in full letters, I'll puke my last ties with it and a long gone global, free internet. I'll just set some email server at home.

Without the OSS move, internet would have been a very sad story. I knew from the start that corporations would very quickly try to clog and profit from the communication pipes. Thanks to free OSes, nobody but old farts or young idiots has to use hot or g or rocket or whatever mail.

RIP Hotmail, and big thanks to the original creators.
