I do not dislike the module, more variety is good. The compression does also make sense and might help, but I would rather have my kernel only swap when needed and this is when it runs out of memory.

I use tmpfs a lot, but why would I use memory as swap space? Reading the Wikipedia article doesn't convince me, why not provide any swap space in the first place?

I rented a server in Canada and mirrored the Wikileaks files onto it a couple of years ago, when the USA threatened them to be shut down. I never had clicks on the phone line and never got any problems. Even Visa didn't cancel my credit cards for it :)

Count me in, one of the very first distributions with zfsonlinux support. Guess what, it is still running after ~1 years updating with the original installation but top versions. Stable and never had a problem, which wasn't hardware related. Even migrated the pools from FreeBSD, which was running before on that box, without data loss.

It really depends... Example Java 8 release is going to be postponed:

• read the title (good)
• read the summery (well written)
• read the article (worth reading about the new classes)
• read a few comments (comments were trolling about Java being a language for real men?!?)

Example Signs Point To XKCD's Time Ending:

• read title (misleading)
• read the summery (still misleading)
• read the comments (very helpful and I never realized about this special comic series, thanks)
• read/watch the actual article on xkcd

This is what I thought. It doesn't matter who you are, nationality, criminal records etc. They have a file about you anyway because storage is cheap.

If the western countries are back in recession, the first thing we get is a law to wear helmets on bicycles and then screen protectors :)

I broke my collarbone last Friday...

This was the same I thought when reading the report. /. might the on the index now as well with your post :)

Same here, the only thing I print off are assignments. About 10-20 papers printed every three months...

Since it already uses Gentoo Portage, at least the development version ChromiumOS, maybe they left the toolchain and it is possible to compile/add some more applications than a browser, media player and file manager by adding some overlay?

Your list is not accurate, e.g. 5 is Windows 7 Home Premium and not Win8, this one is also increasing in sales. Maybe the list got updated in the meantime?
There is no mention if they implement the feature to disable secure boot, as I understand to get the sticker from MS they have to. Also they said, the devices are only locked up on ARM processors to run Win8 and it can be disabled for x86 CPUs.
This would be a no go for me, I am sometimes willing to pay the MS tax but not if it renders the hardware unuseable with other software.

I meant that more related to the government knowing how many searches one did, which is a joke compared to other countries. I was once unemployed for three weeks in Ireland, went to the office, filled in a form and got a check end of each week. No questions asked to a maximum of six months, I think. This is a model I would support, no stress and within six months people should be able to find another job.

in Germany jobless people have to report any application for a job to the agency and they have to apply for a certain amount of jobs per month or they get no welfare. Still people say it is not enough and unemployed people should be a workforce of the government to clean parks etc. -.-
