In my opinion secure boot just means that my computer is owned by the company that has certified it.
Being that the case, what does DRM and the secure boot feature in UEFI add to that experience?
Alienate the users on their machine, not something that can be hacked, studied and understood as a computer, instead a piece of magical wisdom.
Dumb down the mainstream user, and tie them up on their products.
"Protect" their software, being the computer just a black box projecting their knowledge / entertainment.
I hope DRM backfires really hard on the companies advocating for it.
For instance, I dived in the technical basics of my old SLR with this book I found at my parent's house: Photography - the guide to technique by Andrew Hawkins, Dennis Avon [1].
This is probably an outdated and now useless guide, but answered me many questions I had when I started.

When you have some free time, do you mind organizing some milestones and tasks on github so random people can help without being active on the project?
I would not mind adding/fixing planned things from time to time.

Later, on the site, you would have your machines listed, with the software on these machines, and receive alerts per machine.
Every middle-class worker is paying taxes, and social security. The only ones not paying anything are low-class (who cares?), high-class, and extra-high-class.
I am not that much into this EEUU movement of "tax the riches" but the sector of people evading taxes are right there.
It's sad to read things like this, saying Spanish, Portuguese , Greek and Italian people enjoy evading taxes.
Now, tell me more about MY country.
People often forget that some gender differences are what make each gender powerful.
Gender equality should not be about expecting the same features in both genders, but about having the same rights.
As I see the current status of gender equality in tech, women working on a tech job are protected by their social status.
A female "junior" programmer could easily be harmed by "women do not know how to code", but with time and patience, they can go forward into the company hierarchy, and end in a position where their status protects such opinions.
In the free software world, it's more difficult to move forward in the hierarchy of a project, hence, time and patience gets consumed.
Now, take this with a grain of salt, because there's a big possibility I am wrong and just resorting to topics here.
I am talking about both, the writer and Dave.
Why do you think most women stick to managing projects instead of being involved in Free Software?
Too much drama. Too much shit to cope with, that involves dicks and egos.
In the article we assume that Dave was a jerk (and it probably was). But, see, the author was in a comfortable position, when suddenly another man entered the room, and started to go alpha and everything turned into an ego battle.
It's been a while since I did not enter twitter's landing page.
Why is there an ugly brown background, or the too-much-intense-that-hurts blue?
The pictures, I understand, they tell a story. But the background color has no excuse. There should exist a more pleasant tone.
Is it just me?
This is not saying you should do it.
Would go better with just 5 stars, or just ditch them and think on something else.
For instance, if the grade you are showing is a derivative of multiple sources, why not try to derive something on the line of: "5 of 10 reviewers found this movie good".
By the way, always cite your information sources, where does the rating come from? Users? Review sites?
It could both work from a manufacturer or a personal POV.
Buy my car, it comes with Google.If the company I am applying to bases their solutions on Microsoft products, odds are I am not the right fit for their open position, and somewhere on HR or in my task to find a job there has been an error.
I would prefer not to put that there, as FCE is not that much of an achievement.
It's also possible I am still.
But you both make a valid point on it being perceived as immature, and so I will note it for the next time I use this.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I think the same about your site. It's good, but you would take more of it by applying some css and javascript magic to all the images that include text (and then, exclude the text from the image).
It keeps 'serious' companies from contacting me, improving my accuracy on finding a position I can handle without headaches.
We choose to go to the moon!
You could argue that Inkscape is just a svg program, while this site is "easy" to use.
And yet, it seems to me a couple of svgs with palettes and objects, maybe some reference fonts and a bunch of tutorials on what are the key points of an infographic would suit a better purpose.

I think this whole "give constant reward" is nothing new, and it's something that has been done in large corporations for ages, aka "Treat your employers as 8 year olds".
In my opinion, it just alienates the "self" with the "work". Thus, constant reward just gives the false assumption that your work is meaningful and part of your life.
There will be a time when you don't have no one giving rewards to you, and you will need to just keep ahead, doing something because YOU believe in it, not because someone gives you free candy.
At the same time, that's also why social networks and community sites have "karma", to engage people in interesting discussion, with the promise of karma (or, acceptance of the group).
I don't know if it would fall under peak load, though.
Sorry for the self-promotion. I can't seem to stop talking about this.
