You can buy one today? Where? Can you link to a product page where you can actually order a PineBook Pro today, the 24th of November 2020?

The default password should be randomly generated and included as a sticker in the packaging, like when you buy a combination lock. That way each device will have a random, unique password from the start. You'd have to go out of your way to make it admin/admin.

A 22-year-old college senior was about six years old for 9/11 and the new millennium and about five years old for Y2K. The generation that came of age around the new millennium is no longer in college. There might be a problem with college students today, but very few of them are millennials in any real sense of the word.

I wish I had mod points. My frustration with arbitrary, whimsical, and capricious software changes over the past 5 years is beyond my ability to articulate. Everything from an obsession with "flat" to hiding central features as Easter eggs - it all just makes me wish there were someone with the authority and sense to fire these people who seem so hellbent on destroying usability.

You said the FBI's recommendation not to prosecute "flew in the face of the law . . . because . . . the very crime he specified has no intent requirement." You are wrong. A plain reading of the statute shows a clear mens rearequirement.

This is the crime in question: "Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document [or other] information, relating to the national defense, . . . through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust . . . shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both." 18 U.S.C. 793(f) (emphasis added). In turn, gross negligence is "[a] conscious, voluntary act or omission in reckless disregard of a legal duty and of the consequences to another party." Black's Law Dictionary (9th ed. 2009) (emphasis added).

If storing the classified material on her private server was not a "conscious, voluntary act," then the mens rea requirement here is not met, meaning the crime was not committed.

I think you misread the article. They are specifically NOT combat awards. They will have an R device, not a V device (for valor).

By the way, I think your post was unnecessarily inflammatory. Drone operators are military members. They still deploy when and where they're told. They still show up on terrorist target lists for stateside attacks. Calling them "joystick jockeys" and comparing them to Call of Duty gamers is petulant. They've done more to risk their lives for the country than most.

I guess it DOES have some benefit, huh?

Words mean things. It is unfortunate that you do not understand them. It is true that a vaccine prevents infection. Your post makes me angry with its bullheadedness and ignorance. However, for the sake of your education and the edification of others who might read, let me remind you that HIV is not terminal upon primary infection. Few if any people die from primary HIV infection or "conversion sickness." In fact, for many people, viral levels drop to incredibly low rates after initial infection, even without medication. The problem arises when that infection rears its head again later, infecting and destroying your remaining T-cells and thereby eviscerating your immune system. Put simply: we are already pretty good at destroying infected cells, but we don't have a way of keeping it from infecting further cells. As you so astutely noted, a vaccine is useful for that exact purpose.

If you can be imprisoned for speaking the "wrong kind" of speech, then it's not a very civilized country at all now is it?

No option for "As long as it's not Europa"?

Slashdot... I am disappoint.

I used to study at that Borders with my then-boyfriend. At Panera too. Sad day.

If my mom promises to lose weight, she doesn't break that promise by buying jeans that fit her. She needs to reduce the imbalance between the calories she takes in and the calories she burns. She is already a given size and has already planned out a healthy calorie-reduction diet. She needs jeans that will be possible to wear on that plan. If my mom were to buy only a size 5, and threaten to kill herself if she bought a larger size, and also threaten to kill herself if she can't fit into the size 5, then yes, she would be monumentally insane.

When Republicans promise to reduce spending and lower the debt, they don't break that promise by raising the debt ceiling. They need to reduce the imbalance between the revenue brought in and the revenue expended. They have already passed the 2011 budget. They need to raise revenue or debt to fund it. The Republicans are threatening to impeach Obama if he raises debt to fund the appropriations bill that THEY passed, and also threatening to impeach him if we default because they didn't raise the debt ceiling, so yes, they are monumentally insane.

You clearly haven't thought this through very well. The lock feature goes hand-in-hand with autosave - it keeps you from wasting hard drive space on revisions that are essentially just unimportant changes in scratch work that you never save.

Returning to the title bar pop-up menu, the "Revert to Last Saved Version" menu item returns the document to its last explicitly saved state (i.e., what it looked like the last time the user typed âOES or selected the "Save a Version" menu item). "Duplicate" will create a new document containing the same data as the current document. Finally, the "Lock" item will prevent any further changes to the document until it is explicitly unlocked by the user. Documents will also automatically be locked if they're not modified for a little while. The auto-lock time is configurable in the "Optionsâ¦" screen of the Time Machine preference pane (of all places), with values from one day to one year. The default is two weeks. [You can also turn auto-lock off.] [cite]

You misunderstand. They permit putting an application into full-screen mode. There is not a "new [kind of] full-screen application[]" All this is is OS-level support for what you already do with Firefox. Implementing this in the API rather than having each app provide its own improves consistency. And having the option to full-screen, e.g., the Terminal makes the computer MORE open, flexible, and powerful, not less.

The default setting, "Automatically based on input type," will use overlay scroll bars as long as there's at least one touch-capable input device attached (though the trackpad on laptops doesn't count if any other external pointing devices are connected). If you don't like this kind of second-guessing, just choose one of the other options. The "When scrolling" option means always use overlay scroll bars, and the "Always" option means always show scroll bars [cite]
