Comment Re:Give them access to a VM (Score 1) 1307

I have a Davical installation for my family calendar. The software would probably fall under HIPPA if you put something on it like "Thursday: see patient "Crudely_Indecent" (slashdot #739699) regarding his (or her) embarrassing lump in his [anatomical area]." If something like that gets Googlable or is picked up by a non-benevolent employer, it would be an issue.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu
should fix any problems.

It's getting harder to run Debian, which is a shame. I am slowly but steadily converting my machines to Ubuntu just because I don't have time to mess about with drivers any more. (Typically 1 machine a year; when I need an app that won't run under 'stable' without munching in a half-GB of 'testing' libraries.

The dictionaries (Webster's, American Heritage, don't have my OED handy) disagree. Therefore I concede your point is arguable. B-)

(However, you did make the assumption that I am not an expert in the subject.)

My point is that the word adds nothing, and its only effect is to make me sigh because when I see it, I know that the reviewer out of his/her depth. Is it the best security book ever, or is it not? I want answers, dammit!

My keyboard doesn't have a return key. It has two marked "enter" keys though (one of which has an additional newline symbol, one doesn't).

It's interesting to reminisce that "return" is short for the unwieldy lever labeled "carriage return"; which would make your desk shudder. In the intermediate years the "send" key was very different from the "newline" key (remember 3270?).

Erm, did I just prove your point?

Comment Re:Both hands?? (Score 1) 373

Yeah, cause covering the entire phone with two hands is a perfectly normal way that people would ever use the phone.

I normally cover up my phone with one hand + one head; given that my head has much more biomass than my remaining hand, I think this test is actually generous.
