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 understand that with the exception of major-life events (e.g. weddings), good-old-fashioned written invitations have largely gone the way of the dodo, but most parties I've gone to have been word-of-mouth invitations. Either Sunde is overestimating his sans-Facebook popularity or he needs to reassess the (and possibly revert to the pre-Facebook-era) definition of "friend." Last I checked, it means something other than "acquaintance."

Out of curiosity, what functionality is missing due to lack of 3rd party programs (oops, I mean "apps"?) I have GPS (both HERE and Waze), Pandora, FM radio (which oddly is unavailable on Apple without buying extra hardware....), email, browsing, and banking programs. Skype works well and there are enough games to help pass the time. Specific games are missing, yes, but it's anyone really buying a $600 define to primarily play a specific $5 game?

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.

Please, the nenefits if vinyl are the catalog backlog of music not yet digitized as well as the (sometimes) better attention suring mastering. Personally, I'll never buy a Blue Notes pressing if Analogue Productions also releases their own version of the same album.

For many of them, the F150 is just as likely to be a tool as it is a means of personal transportation. It's not unheard of for a family farmer to have $1MM worth of land, property, and equipment....

So if there aren't any text editors or office suites, how did they write a letter and publish the PDF?

Lack of user permissions, as in the IT department locks down organization's computers, just like most other places? Who has a la carte access to their desktop/laptop computers in a professional environment?

The best camera is the one you have with you. Sometimes, the same concept applies to other tools.

You mean to tell me that all those publishers who are printing copies of Tom Sawyer and Moby Dick are doing so out of their own, big hearts? How kind of them!
