That's not an assumption, it's a fact.

Assume the printk("You're root now") had not been there. Would that increase your estimate for the probability of an intentional backdoor, or reduce it?

Looks promising, and support for huge files is a weak point in vim, so I gave it a try. My usual workflow with big logfiles is to zoom into certain types of messages with e.g. :v/error/d and back out with u, and alternatively jump from one occurrence of a string to the next with *. That doesn't seem to work, so for the moment it's not the right 80% for me. But I do think it's a worthy project, so I'll keep an eye on this

How did you get it? I emailed them at some point asking if I could buy it somewhere, and got a one liner back more or less telling me to get lost.

Very nice, thanks. I hate the UI of these tools ("tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 10: prio 1 u32 match ip dport 22 0xffff flowid 10:1"), so this will come in handy for my use cases, which are usually more something like "simulate a bad network".

On my very insignificant server, fail2ban has banned around 400 IP addresses in 2016, so far. What actionable information would I have received by having a disruptive notification about it?

It may be worth pointing out that this is not a court. It's some working group.

I have a sub-20k user ID. I use it to remind myself that reading stuff on the web doesn't make you rich.

Almost never, it's almost all single words for me.

Thanks for making Readlang. I love it - one day I thought, I'd really like a product that does x, y, and z, and Readlang does exactly it and more, so I'm happy.

I have a premium subscription, but the only reason I got it was that I wanted the product to not disappear :) The features you get with the premium subscription would not have been a reason to upgrade for me at all. I don't know if this is a problem (I used to feel that way about Evernote as well), but maybe something to consider.

Add a friend called "stranger" and keep increasing interactions with them.

You described a situation where a human truck driver, led by emotion and impatience, recklessly put lives in danger. An automated driver would not have reacted with annoyance and frustration.

Comments like this are why I'll cheer for that profession being automated away.

400$/y is not much for what you get from Safari books, and it's a minor expense for many professionals in the first world.

That bug only has 60 comments. Here's one with 600+ comments and 400+ people in CC. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78414

I had heard of this too, and it was one of the reasons I was extremely cautious when starting to host my own email. To my surprise, I didn't run into a single problem like this.

Do you believe they're not? It may not be the primary motive, but from all I've read, most are indeed racist and would not deny it.

The Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, which has Ubuntu preinstalled, is as close to "Ubuntu Air" as it gets. Don't like it?

I love this sort of insane-sounding problem descriptions. Here's one that happened to me: WiFi disconnects when I visit Gmail, and doesn't reconnect until I reboot Linux. Cause: Gmail's chat thingy uses Flash, which for some reason does some webcam initialization, which triggers a bug (in combination with crappy hardware) in the uvcvideo kernel module which leads to a timeout which leads to the whole USB bus going down. Which includes the WiFi chip.

No, it's not true. Some minor news outlet misunderstanding things.

Humans don't work that way. It all adds up to your overall impression. The resume will be laying on the table during the interview, and you want it to convey the impression that you're professional, smart, and pay attention to detail.

Conveying the message that you don't care about our decadent society's obsession with superficiality and appearance, or whatever message you convey with an ASCII-only resume, obviously works in some situations. But in general, Postel's Law applies here.

Lifehacker has been suggesting using AdWords coupons to get free Dropbox space. http://lifehacker.com/5854955/how-to-max-out-your-dropbox-re.... That's probably why many people are trying this.

Is anybody aware of similar projects that target databases instead of operating systems?

It's true, but it's debatable how much it explains. Germany looks relatively good right now, but it's been 20 years of slow growth and lots of pain after '89. It's funny that just a couple of years ago, say 2003, you'd read about the booming Greece and "sick man of Europe" Germany.

SAP is one of my focus areas at work. My answer would be to install the trial version (which I think is no longer called miniSAP, but used to be), try to get the general hang of how it's supposed to work, and then dig deeper in the areas that interest you, maybe Java or ABAP development if you want to do development. Last time I've used it, the trial version had a 90 days license, but you could renew it easily and legally.

You won't get a SAP job that way, but it might give you enough of an edge to take on SAP-related projects (think "sure, I've done webservice calls into Salesforce and I know how that works with SAP XI, happy to work on your integration project").

It's very hard to imagine you'll forget it, but it really is true. I used to be able to solve integrals while being too drunk to walk, but nowadays basic trig would require substantial effort for me. Time does that.

I was sceptical, but become enthusiastic to the point of not wanting to miss Gnome Shell anymore once I realized how great it works with keyboard shortcuts. For example: hit the windows key, start typing a couple of letters of the desired application or document, hit enter. Fast, convenient, great.

Re: sovereignity, I still can't believe it, but apparently Euro Group president Jean-Claude Juncker has suggested just that. http://www.independent.ie/business/european/greece-will-pay-...

None of these solutions allows me to scribble notes on my graphic tablet, OCR my lousy handwriting, and make it searchable on my phone.

Android has that.
