That ball actually makes it a tad more complicated than a wireless mouse. Mouse or trackball, Logitech stuff has cheap button switches. Every single mouse and trackball I had from them broke because of that, sometimes just few months after buying. But a high-quality switch costs a dollar or two and it needs just basic soldering skills to replace. The real benefit of the trackball is that screws are not hidden under sliding pads.

I did a quick check and two files in the same directory have the same first ~half of the file id. So there is some logic underneath, itâ(TM)s not just a fully random string that could be expanded.

The preview above is cut just before this important paragraph:

Only after this, it makes sense...

Or 3. You lie. Source?

If turning off wifi in the system is not secure enough for you (that is, if you are afraid of a targetted attack), don't ask here, but go to some security consultant. There are other attack vectors that you might forget, like a good telescope and a camera in the building over the street. Hint: goverment contracts in one company I know are handled in a windowless, steel lined room without any network access on a certified HW.

The article is FUD. If any of you really read the change directly from Evernote... "If you want to opt out, you can do so in your account settings, and our engineers won't look at your data to improve the service." Evernote clearly states you CAN OPT OUT and the only thing you loose is the machine learning thing. So everything is going to be like now for you.

More likely a difference between your Google profiles. When two are searching the same, they won't find the same... (Pro tip: disable personalization every time you want to show that something is the first entry. And tell the other one to do it too.)

At first, I read "secular Light" and thought it a nice joke. The real version of the statement sounds much worse.

No, thank you. I have enough of double-speed from watching courses records before exams. True, it made many of the lecturers to finally speak like a normal human, but still...

Stop all shooting? Not possible. But shooting by Evil Guys (tm)? Well, that's simple... Ban all guns and then put these cuties on every corner with a program to shoot everyone who pulls out a gun, a knife, a bomb, smelly socks, is ill (clearly spreading biological weapons), or, to sum all the reasons, is a human: http://www.thinkgeek.com/image...

Still better love story than not having a backup at all (or having the only backup of two months before on the clumsy, battered, five years old 4GB USB2 stick which can fail at any time), as your mom/aunt/grandpa... Seriously, why all you cloud-haters have to shout about cloud everywhere? Just don't use it. I don't like ermine cheese, but I'm not telling it to everyone under every article which is remotely touching food.

Does he use --no-preserve-root by default? I think that it is there for many years. Of course, if his servers are running on something from 2004, then his rm might be without this safeguard...
