Even if 75% of Netflix traffic was "pirated", if they can get 25% of every customer in every cable market in the country to pay them $10/month, how happy would they be? Let 75% steal, then ratchet down, maybe, later after they buy Comcast in 10 years. We're just changing from Comcast, AT&T, Time Warner, DirecTV to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and Google, and many users will pay for multiple of these at $10/month.

And, FWIW, FreshRSS is great. I probably wouldn't read /. at all anymore if I wasn't getting it in RSS. There's probably one post per day that I don't just skim, and maybe one every 3 or 4 days that I click into to read the comments. I almost never comment anymore, because it's invariably not worth having clicked into them in the first place anymore, but here we are.

There are some sites which move kind of fast, and so I generally just keep them open, but for the 8 or 12 sites I want to keep up on, but not get flooded by, RSS works perfectly.

Bernie sold out for a handful of shekels

But don't you DARE call us racist.

My phone dies with me. I'm sure many of my accounts die with me. I spend enough of my time keeping anyone, cops, bad guys, whoever, anyone, from reading my stuff. If they're going to /copy biometrics/ just to get access to some moron who kills me? No. I'm dead, doesn't matter anymore. Just leave me alone in death in the way you wouldn't in life.

I guess I'm glad everything's password and I have a really, really good memory and very fast fingers.

Tax benefits, hospital visitation, inheritance issues, insurance costs...and on, and on, and on.

Things that heterosexual couples take for granted that gay couples could not prior the the legalization of marriage equality nationwide. Do this: Be in a heterosexual marriage for 15 years, and follow your spouse's ambulance to the hospital. Then have a nurse deny you access to their bedside because your "marriage" offends her sensibilities. This same shit had to be fought over interracial marriage as well.

Perhaps your spouse dies in that hospital. Now have their family swoop in and take away your home, along all the money from your spouse's bank accounts. Sure, they could set up trusts and contracts and PoA's, but the point is, I'm married, and if I die, my wife by default is my next of kin. I don't have to do any of that noise, and neither should someone else just because they're gay. Inheritance and capital gains were an even worse issue.

Try having a shred of empathy for people whose circumstances are different from yours, how does that sound? Gay people don't necessarily care if people "like" their marriage, but they should be equal under the law. Statements like yours sound like they're straight out of 1963 and just repurposed from "Coloreds" to "Homos".

Alternatively, it may be time for them to commit to stop selling the tools of oppression to regimes like those in Syria, Egypt... Where there's a dictator, HT has a customer.

Hah, no shit? I think Kim Dotcom should start a business with Mark Cuban and John Malone, just to see what would happen.

/the more you know...

BoingBoing's publisher actually has evidence to the contrary:
His license plate is "DRUNK"

If your position is that use of Tor is circumstantial evidence that you're trying to evade the law or do something otherwise "shady", I don't think that's a valid assumption.

And so what sort of -ism led to the actual panopticon of the NSA, XKeyscore, and GCHQ's actual /ability/ to do what they're talking about trying to do?

But you keep blaming damn dirty socialism. My staunchly Rush Limbaugh listening republican as fuck father in law is firmly in the camp of "I don't care if the government reads all my email and watches all my web traffic, I have nothing to hide".

So fuck your vile, watery pissant argument against the "nanny state" and socialists who beg to be spied upon.

Never fear, *I* is here.

Uuh, Mister The Plague, something really weird's going in the system, we've got a user logged on, with the load of about four users. I think we've got a hacker.

Little known fun fact: The 500 mile race was meant to be run on a perfectly round track...

I drilled a hole in my ST to adjust the voltage while it was running. When it first powered up, had to crank the voltage up to avoid crashing, then after it was on a while, crank it back down because it would start leaving mouse trails everywhere. I ended up dumping it in a Tupperware bin, and then jamming the keyboard in an IBM mushmaster keyboard case (I didn't defile a Model M for this or anything). I miss that thing sometimes. Emulation just isn't the same, because with emulation your primary job is "play a game", not "keep the machine running while trying to play the game".

We should probably have a whole area of disk for various flotsam and configs and yadda yadda, et cetera.

Hotmail did this to me too, sending from my VPS at 1 and 1. The explanation in their bounce was that it was due to other hosts from the same provider being spammers, etc, but that after my host's reputation was established it would be naturally un-blocked.

That does seem to be what's happened. As I consistently generate non-spam mail toward hotmail/outlook.com accounts, it has been un-blocked and now works without issues.

I'm particularly interested in your case however, since I plan to migrate to Comcast business myself. I'd prefer not to relay through their servers if possible, what with the shenanigans large ISPs seem to want to pull recently re: STARTTLS downgrade attacks, etc.

Here's an RSN product, Bunnie Huang has been building his own completely open hardware laptop, and demand has been such that they're looking to sell them sans-screen in a router case with two NICs: Novena

I have no idea about availability, but they're around, Jake Appelbaum was playing with one the other day in a recent talk.
