Slackware has never enabled CONFIG_SMB_SERVER in any kernel.

Thus spake the master programmer:

                be maintained."

I'll happily pay what would cover several months of any streaming service to get a physical copy of an album in order to support the artist(s). I can't always go to a show, but when I do, I also buy vinyl and maybe some merchandise. Much more of it goes into the pockets and gas tanks of touring artists than the door.

I'm one of those who does actually have two turntables (SL-1210M3Ds) and a microphone (Heil PR40) that are used frequently for listening and podcasting.

Clearly it's Large Hadron Colliders all the way down.

This news is one year old.

DEF CON 26, the 2018 show, starts on the 9th of August this year...and will have a Voting Machine Village again.

Any phone costing over $500 becomes increasingly a combination of a top-notch computing device and mobile communicator and a camera rivaling high-quality point and shoot models. For those of us who take 5-10k pictures per year, this is crucial, and the difference is astonishing and not to be undersold.

Linus, is that you?

There's a COBOL shop in my small town that contracts for corporations and the government. I know several COBOL specialists in their 30s. It's actually an extremely lucrative field to get into these days, with good pay and job security.

Rewriting all that COBOL code in some other language would be bound to cause major problems.

All you need is the --enable-alsa configure option. The resulting Firefox will prefer PulseAudio if it is present, but will use pure ALSA if it is not.

Really? I've not been able to find anything other than a new release. The patches might be in git, but they are not easily found.

>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.
