You get a faraday cage. You get faraday wallpaper. Your trucks get faraday mudflaps...

Huawei sales figures must be fire. I'd be disappointed my tax dollars DIDN'T do this.

I have a baseball cap with the words: "1998: Year of the Linux Desktop" I got it at Comdex when I met Linus.

This is great news. It's a missed resource. Today's Linux news is basically linked to and distrowars and flamewars about systemd. */LurkModeDisable* (Carrier Lost...)

For a sec there, the headline had me thinking Google was going to squash Privacy.com. It's what I believe will eventually happen. "Virtual card" threw me off. I guess I'll have to wait for the banks to squash them.

US Air Force To Suffer From PS3 Update 349

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday May 13, 2010 @06:45AM from the sounds-like-an-act-of-terrorism-to-me dept.

tlhIngan writes "The US Air Force, having purchased PS3s for supercomputing research, is now the latest victim of Sony's removal of the Install Other OS feature. It turns out that while their PS3s don't need the firmware update, it will be impossible to replace PS3s that fail. PS3s with the Other OS feature are no longer produced since the Slim was introduced, so replacements will have to come from the existing stock of used PS3s. However, as most gamers have probably updated their PS3s, that used stock is no longer suitable for the USAF's research. In addition, smaller educational clusters using PS3s will share the same fate — unable to replace machines that die in their clusters." In related news, Sony has been hit with two more lawsuits over this issue.

For me, newspapers died on Nov 5th. Ad influence is diminishing also. At this rate I may buy one paper a year, on Thanksgiving.
