All military are restricted from reading classified documents they don't have clearance for AND a don't "need to know" to perform their duties. These documents are still, technically, classified. Is it silly? Well... probably, since (afaik) you can read all the second hand accounts you like... but, it's not exactly the same as telling random citizens that they can't rad them. In fact, they can't actually do that since classifications aren't enforceable against non-DoD civilians.

Interesting, but you'll be happy to know that all of that (using the weapon, when deadly force is authorized, etc) is all covered in Boot Camp now. I know because I just graduated ~2 months ago. I can also tell you that from what I saw of the culture there... this will not go over well, from the CO of RTC down to the RDC's, they all think it's more ridiculous than you to, to put it lightly. The real problem is with the PFA standards. Not only are they ridiculously easy, but of the three (push-ups, sit-ups, run) you only really have to pass the run. You can do shitty, half-ass sit-ups/push-ups that your buddy is counting for you... so yeah. With the run they strap a tracking bracelet to you, so you can't cheap that one.

Hmm, USB vs SATA... I imagine this would be faster than Ready Boost. On the other hand, if you're rocking USB 3.0...

They actually have a NetBSD port as well as a Hurd port. They also have a nifty why NetBSD section. There doesn't seem to be a similar page for kFreeBSD, but I assume the reasons are similar.

And just try telling them this. The fun part starts at the bottom with 0x100, a packager for Fedora's rmfusion.

For awhile?

Perhaps I'm odd, but while I like my RSS reader, I prefer some things as live bookmarks. For example, Slashdot, xkcd, and other such sites where I at least look at most entries are in Akregator. However, I keep a few torrent feeds as well as an RSS for BIOS updates as live bookmarks.

Last I checked (two months ago?) Chrome had no ad blockng to speak of. Sure, there's AdSweep and AdBlock+, but they just hide ads with CSS, where Firefox stops the ads from ever being downloaded. When I was using Chromium regularly I ended up using Privoxy for ad blocking.

As I understood the situation at the time, this shortcoming was due to the functionality not being possible in Chrome. So, the browser from the company that sells ads has limited ad blocking functionality. Is anyone really surprised?

What you want is an orthodox file manager. There are plenty of other options on Linux besides the ones you mentioned, such as emelFM2, Gnome Commander, or Beesoft Commander. Perhaps one of those will be more to your liking, though I personally find Krusader more than adequate.

You need to use the line out instead of the headphone jack to get live level output that completely bypasses the internal amp circuity. Unfortunately, for the iPod this means getting a line out device that attaches to the port on the bottom.

At any rate, use the line out for what it's intended and this won't be a problem for you. :)

On the flip side, there are also a lot of headphones with high impedance? Portable players can't even push many headphones without an external amp as it is. Given the vast array of headphones available, it's impossible to determine what 100dB really is. If they limit it to 100db from the stock earbuds, for example, I'll barely be able to hear my full size 300 Ohm impedance Sennheisers.

I think he was saying that this needs to change, especially in the area of software. Why do you ask?

What? You think rootkits are OK?

I don't quite understand. I mean, sure, you *can* play pirated games on it, but you can play them on a real Wii as well.

I don't know, the Fedora project has really good documentation in my opinion.
