The problem I personally have with it is, traditionally, if you "invent" something, you get to name it. Other people can complain, and say that your name is inaccurate, but FSF is trying to replace the name being used. They've done this in the past, as noted by others. I'd much rather say "'Secure Boot' is a load of horse shit" than start calling it "HorseShit Boot."

The RaspberryPi doesn't run anything by default, as it comes with no storage.

Manage your paranoia.

Elcomsoft is a legitimate business, at least I always had that impression. (They are well known, in fact I've known of them for years, I think. Never knew they were Russian).

Then I'll go with option c, "slow learner." "Rootkit" has a specific meaning, and it's not "thing I don't like."

Macs cost substantially more than PCs, so I would be shocked if this weren't the case. Buying a Mac, however, will increase your income as effectively as XL condoms with increase your penis size.

Really, an order of magnitude more? Entry-level Mac Pro, quad core 3.2 Ghz Zeon, 6 GB of RAM, 1 TB HD, and ATI Radeon HD 5770 costs $2,500. I'd love to buy that at the $250 price-point. Please share.

Over priced? Yes, but numbers have meaning.

Linux, as an almost exclusively business OS, is a "serious" UNIX. It's nearly absent desktop penetration is a testament to that.

I think the reasoning behind this is that THQ has been reduced to a level that they could be considered either a charity or an indie-level company, with their current financial situation. They are really in a tough spot, and desperately need cash.

If you had read the article, you would have seen the photo, which is several strings of Mardi Gras beads on the Martian surface.

It means I agree with the parent. And I believe it's a farkism.

I was really just saying that the Google Docs interface is bad for a large amount of documents. And what is really needed is periodic maintenance, not constant discipline (Though that would be nice). Every few months, clean things up a bit.

This. Except don't use Google Docs. I can't imagine using Google Docs to store 20+ years worth of documents. Google Docs is good for collaborating to create/modify a document, then allow you to take that out when you are done, and organize it how you want. Create a file server (probably what you currently have), and put things into folders in a sensible way. By year, by topic, by whatever will make it easier to sort through. I'm sure Bob realizes the mess that has been created. Just say "This has become disorganized over the years, let's make a conscious effort to organize it." It's not Bob's fault, it's everyone who didn't say something sooner that is to blame.

I read it as "It is price x no matter what, while a DDoS is in progress, the price increases to y, even if you bought it ahead of time" which would be gouging. If it is, indeed, "Price x if you buy it ahead of time, and price y if you buy it during an attack" then that's just common sense. Ongoing protection that might not be needed is going to be cheaper than ongoing protection that is needed immediately.

That said, it sounds like the guy had warning before the attack started, so this is more like buying homeowner's insurance after someone threatens to burn down your house.
