Sadly this is how I feel as well. Trust is a very complicated and difficult problem to solve. I always say, "At least Goober can't access my family photos". But if a powerful nation state wanted to access my hard drive (I use LUKS for full disk encryption and truecrypt 7.1a for containers) I don't feel so good about that. I lead a pretty straight life anyway, but it bothers me that there is no truly trustworthy solution, even if what we have is ultimately secure. How would you know?

Now we have one laptop with Windows 10 and I can't even do full DE with TrueCrypt. So what did we do? Bitlocker (shudders). Goober still can't access it but the government can pretty much just snap their fingers and they will get in. So Bitlocker is a true joke in my opinion and only useful for keep Goober out.

It's all I got, I don'tknow what else to say.

With distros maintaining their own kernels and backporting security fixes, how many people/organizations use the latest? Who are these users that anxiously await the latest kernel? Serious question, in all my years of using Linux I very rarely have downloaded the latest kernel and compiled it. I have done it pretty much out of interest only.

Replying to myself.

You meant 6.x you moran.

Seeing as RedHat 6.4 uses the 2.6 kernel and is supported until Nov 2020 there will be lots of 2.6 for some time yet. Then there will be extended support as well for those willing to pay for it.

If by good you mean reality tv following rednecks around the woods making a harsh living and stirring up the drama, ya US has it all.

Also he may have an extended support contract with Microsoft so it doesn't necessarily mean they are unpatched. In any event, it will be nice when he disappears from the headlines. Sick of it, and I am not even American.

Security updates? :-)

When it comes to football I disagree. Football is one of the most complex sports there are. You would never know it though because playbooks and even an entire view of the field (known as "All 22" video) has traditionally been kept from fans and viewed as Intellectual Property. They seem to be getting more open with All 22 if you are willing to pay for it, but don't think you have anywhere near the access that teams and the NFL have. That's why they focus on the line of scrimmage. You don't see the game within the game, the routes, the answers to those routes. What you see in the game is such a narrow aspect of it that I would venture to say that almost all but the nerdiest football fans even understands the subtleties of the game. Uncle Fred who hasn't washed his Steelers jersey since they won their last SuperBowl knows pretty much nothing about the game.

Coaches don't just substitute players. A guy like Belichick is a grand master. You wouldn't even be able to hold a good football conversation with him....and neither would I. When he says this shit don't work I tend to believe him, and he will just do fine with the systems he has developed over the years, which goes way beyond player substitutions and arguing with referees.

I agree with this. I was viewing US content through a Socks5 proxy through a VPS I was renting for other purposes. I am the only person who would be using that proxy and it has been blocked. Really I am fine with it, I just don't have the time or energy to figure out another workaround. Once I have nothing left to watch in my geo area I will just discontinue netflix. Simple as that.

He wears a red shirt. Just wait another 13 minutes and we will all stop talking about him.

I'm outraged, just OUTRAGED!!! We're talking about number 2) right?

"... If the content and experience is better on the mobile version."

That will be a cold day in hell.

Oh crap, they are forcing you to use the yahoo email addy for your phone account? That's nasty. I had a hard time believing someone with your UID was using a crap ISP email. ;-)

Some of you need to start looking into your own domain names. Then you can move it whenever and to wherever you want. My ISP has nothing to do with my email.
