FYI - that FBI notice is not a requirement in any way; it is Hollywood trying to scare people, and that's all. The FBI created an "anti-piracy" logo with some boilerplate text and licensed it for use.

You can get IPS/IDS on the Unifi USG / USG Pro if you run beta code. I've had that installed for quite a while with no problems at all. Throughput is decreased as it still disable hardware offload features, but it works fine. I believe it's Suricata based, and you can choose from quite a few lists.

"Even if you want to set that aside, we don't allow citizens to have missiles, nuclear bombs, flame throwers and tanks either. So obviously we draw the line somewhere. The only argument now is over where exactly that line is."

Yes, we do allow citizens to own those things. There are privately owned tanks, and flame throwers are liquid projectors and regulated differently (but also completely legal at the federal level). Missiles are destructive devices, are larger than some specific size (I forget what that is), are self-propelled projectiles, and aren't considered firearms, but their ownership and regulation goes along with such things as high explosives and large cannons. There are theoretically ways to privately own a missile, but I'm not sure that anyone has bothered to try. People definitely do own cannons and high explosives. I don't believe nuclear weapons are specifically illegal, but the fissile material itself is most definitely controlled. You couldn't legally possess the quantities required to make anything that could reach a critical mass.

That already happens. The user shell knows that the user has disconnected via HUP signal, and then passes that signal along to the spawned child processes. If the user ran a process with & or nohup, then the shell knows not to mess with those processes. That is, until systemd comes along, breaks more convention, and just terminates everything anyway, ignoring what the user already told the system. Unless the user specifically interacts in such a way that only works on certain systemd supported operating system variants, running certain versions of systemd, configured in certain specific ways.

The previous and well understood behavior already did this, and it worked on all UNIX-like systems. The new systemd way works on a very small minority of systems, and requires special behavior and a half-dozen special checks to detect environment.

This is not an improvement. This is single-user proprietary behavior.

Meh, there's the better part of a million of you 6-digit folks. Plus, there's only 50% less goatse because there's 15x more beta sucks posts. For the real classic experience you have to browse at the secret -2 setting.

I also just purchased a VW last Thursday. The dealership was saying they were making quite a few more sales than usual from people trading in TDIs for regular gasoline cars. They still had a huge "clean diesel" banner up, though, heh.

BTW - look at uBlock and uMatrix. They're the successors to the combined block and matrix blacklist for HTTP Switchboard and have a few nice improvements.

Sure, then those of us that live in more rural areas should also not have to contribute anything to your public transit costs, sanitation, or emergency services. Also, you can buy the reservoir water for your municipal water systems off of us, instead of having free use of these rural water supplies. Merchandise should also have to cost more, since the warehouses are in more rural areas where the land is cheap, too. And you don't get any benefit from the highways that run through the rural areas between cities, so you won't mind if you can't use them anymore, right? After all, if you needed water, you should just move to the rural area where it is. Right? Same with moving to where the food is, to where the warehouse is, etc?

It's foolish logic - we all benefit from spreading things around so that everyone gets to have them. We are better as a society when everyone has access to roads, electricity, food, water, and telephone. For all the things that are available and cheap to you in a city that you want to deny to the rural area, the rural area could turn around and deny the city things. Would you prefer gunpoint subsidies where the rural area refused to let the city have water unless the city paid for the rural telephone service?

So I will have the chance to _not_ buy a MS product each year!
More fun for me :D

Actually in Europe you can already find used copy of office, windows, whatever in those electronic expos that every month go from town to town. This has been running since I was a child.
And you don't have to beg for a Windows refund: most seller (Acer, Asus...) have an automatic procedure, es:

Use your old laptop.
Just put some domopack on the keyboard. When not in use just fold it and put it out of the way.

They are called bikes: we don't use big things that could use signs any more.

But you see bikes road every where, cars have to give way to bikes on round about, we spend money to build bridges on dangerous road intersections for bikes.

Hey guys, it's 8.49$ for a gallon here[1].

I 'got two bikes and I'm buyn' the third, 'spent some money on insulating and termic solar for my house.

I do really enjoy my town more, and I take care to eat food that does not come from far away. Haven't been traveling that much for futile things like going to that pub in that town, snowboarding in that (far) cool spot.

Fuel is running out ok? Not tomorrow: tomorrow it's just when it will become very expensive. To change your abits you won't have to wait that we eventually run out of fuel, price raise will do.

1. Here is Italy if you were wondering, we do have a lot of taxes on fuel right now as we had a clown and the whole circus for prime minister for a while...

You just don't blog on your site "Set the allarm @6:00am" for Big Day One when there are not enough items and the sites (resellers) are not able to hold the traffic. That was just a BAD idea.

Many managed to be on line just at the *right* time to be unable to buy and DOS the whole thing. ..or maybe it was a PR stunt, but they eventually pissed off many potential buyers who are now seeing pre-preorder request for no one knows when we can sell or how many are available. There it goes the impulse buyers low-cost give-it-a-try...

"remove all Web History" will just remover _your_ chance to read your own web hystory.
OFC google will keep it and will continue to update it in order to "improve the service" or whatever they call it today.

You should disable JS for google, clean your cookies, refuse cookies, use a proxy. Or just get in the mood to use an other search engine.
