How did they figure that out? It's not like they could have any first hand data on the cost of developing good products.

Isn't the whole point of a peaceful protest to stand up as a citizen for or against some idea? Doesn't hiding behind a mask make that moot?

Are you seriously implying that there is never a need for anonymity in civilized societies?

Aim lower.

Good thing the politicians are making sure to protect the children against... online... parental abuse, then. Yeah.

What- and whenenver did "want" have anything to do with it?

The story is a copyright story. The book hasn't been banned. The book has simply not been published, because the people sitting on the copyright refused to publish it. The reason it is now about to be published is because the copyright is finally expiring.

How much more deserving can a story be of triggering anti-copyright rants than when copyright is explicitly and directly used to enforce censorship?

Well, I know that for all its (15 minute long) faults, Mass Effect 3 has been the ridicule of the nerd community for the past few months, but as I went through the Rannoch mission just this evening on my second session, I must say that Legion is pretty damn far up on the list.

I am speculating, admittedly. Just as I'm speculating when I suggest that Uncyclopedia, Fred Phelps or Bagdad Bob might not be telling the truth. There comes a point when trust in a source is so deteriorated that nothing they say can be taken at face value.
Phoronix reached this level several years ago.
I'm not claiming that Michael Larabel is lying. I'm claiming that it's just about as likely that Michael Larabel is lying as that he isn't. And when it comes to news, that's pretty poor odds.

Phoronix never confirms anything. Phoronix makes shit up, or possibly, at best, speculates.

Can we get a story when this is reported by a place that's at least remotely trustworthy?

Quite frankly, because that's the chain of events I've always observed. You may be an exception, and if so, I apologize.
It normally goes something like this (Cast: Waitress (W), Meat Eater (ME), Vegan/Vegetarian (V)):

ME: I'll have a steak. Rare please.
V: I'll have the veggie burger. Do you know if the fries is fried in vegetable fat.
W: I don't know.... I could ask in the kitchen...
V: Nah, never mind. Just give me some salad with it.
W: OK.
ME: Are you a vegetarian?
V: Yeah.
ME: Why?
V: I oppose the meat industry. It's actually quite gross. The animals are practically tortured...
ME: OK. I love my rare steak.
V: I see.
ME: You know... aren't you a bit hypocritical?
V: Yeah, perhaps. Still, I like to be responsible for as few unnecessary deaths as possible.
ME: You can hardly go outside without killing an insect you know.
V: Perhaps, but at least I make an effort. And I think there's a difference between cows and insects. Say, did you see that movie...
ME: And if you're killing insects anyway, you might as well eat meat.
V: That really doesn't follow...
ME: Hypocrite!
<at this point veggie dude turns very defensive, and it ends with the meat eater assuming all vegetarians are assholes>

Your experience may be different. But it's what I always observe. Over. And. Over. Again.
And yes. I eat meat. I never question them, and I never get questioned in return.

Interesting, out of the roughtly similar number of vegans I know, none has ever been intolerant towards me - a meat eater.
Turns out, if you're not acting like a dick towards them, they won't be acting like dicks towards you - whudda thunk, eh?

Could you please point me to a place where they have this proper journalism of which you speak?

The "problem" with screen is that it requires manual intervention to resume. FWIW I've been using screen for this for the past ten years or so (well, tmux the last one or two...), but it's still annoying to have to reconnect and attach. mosh handles the reconnection transparently.

I'm sorry, but that is simply not true. At least not outside the English only speaking world.

ls -l may still be ls -l, but its man page, and the filenames it spits out on stdout are localized, with non US-ASCII characters. The files we view with cat and less are filled with non US-ASCII characters.

I just started using it (after seeing this article) to connect from my laptop which I suspend and carry in my backpack from work to home. Opened the lid, and the session is still seemingly intact after the few seconds it takes to find my home wifi.
No 4G connection in the world is gonna help a device that's effectively turned off.

I don't think this is a very unusual use case.
