im very interested in trying the images out on mine, also there is a work-in-progress kernel on github: https://github.com/hillbeast/Kyorakernel.git

The issue is that even if you delete your facebook account, its technically not deleted by FB, just "marked" as deleted.

Your employer may not have the power to access those "deleted" records, but there are parties out their that do have access, i.e. Governments and such

"Coming to the HN front page later this year..?"

I assume this may be a theme in the making.. I wonder if App Store like ecosystems have similar issues. I havnt heared of any in the android market, but im sure similar cases can be found.

though after looking im not sure how to do so

We should start a poll to see how common this is

Even if some of these websites sell fake/counterfit goods, they should only be taken out of the ads. Otherwise we are starting a trend of black-listing website once again. This could be another seedpoint for the freedom of speech and firewall-of-america discussion which was raised with SOPA

I agree, DistroWatch is not a good metric of measuring which distros are in use. Page hit ranking is more about which distros are currently being discussed more and talked about. Ive looked into mint and a few others on distrowatch, but I have never until today visited the Ubuntu.. Yet most all of my machines run Ubuntu or some version of Debian.

yes ive looked at that, but its double the gb/month cost of S3 and S3 has no inbound traffic cost

It really is an issue that most backup providers do not offer a Linux client, I am also bound to S3 at the moment, I have been tempted to try out the windows clients in wine, but It would be great if someone would offer a good(cheap, reliable, non evil =D ) backup service with linux support, even if its just a commandline. Actually an API would be fantastic.. let the openSource community build you a client.

Has anyone actually managed to the alpha page it seems to be down. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFriendly (see under Alpha page)

The Google Chrome version adoption chart very much drives home the difference between chrome and IE!

Great Idea, Ive already sent a card from my Ego to my Self. I second the request for sending "special occasion" requests. Also how about international mailings and mass mailings, I have lots of family in Germany and they need christmas cards/thankyou cards.. and I am the lazy type so only 20% of my family gets a card, this would help lots

Also in your Proof email it is not apparent whether I need to take any action if there are no issues, wording changes perhaps? Maybe also on SendWrite "stationary"?

I wish this wouldnt need a chrome extension, but otherwise its pretty sweet!

Does any one know of other application that this can be applied to?

interesting is also that even after this post got pushed back down, it got 12 votes in 10 min and didnt make it to the front page where as there are 2 posts that have <10 votes in one hr

here is his talk, very inspiring

yes, listening is not the strength of governments. Especially about things they do not understand and are made to fear. There are many computer privacy/copyright/net-neutrality bills that have been signed into law where I was wondering whether the people supporting the bill actually knew what it was about or its implications. We should instate a test on the content and application of each bill, if you pass you can support it and fail your vote doesnt count

I certainly agree with their Goals and I see very similar flaws in many governments. I am not sure their way is the best way to make governments listen, but it certainly is one way that gets publicity. The issue with their publicity is that news networks do not broadcast their message, they broadcast their actions which in turn intimidates and scares the less tech-savvy portion of society. This does not achieve their goals, but they make a statement. A statement is better than no statement.

more precisely how do we change the curriculum? and how do we ensure that all schools have enough access to computers to use them as a teaching and learning tool

Its very interesting that MS is running part of their cloud on AWS. Though Azure is really more a cloud-based service delivery platform where AWS also provides cloud-based server deployment with EC2. I am assuming that is the part that MS uses. For a non-windows-centric developer Azure is more or less useless to me. Thought it is a cool model to just deploy without needing to setup and control the stack. Bottom line, i prefer fully controlling everything, i guess im a control freak.

How about adding IBM's DB2, it seem there are very few companies actually using it.

If this becomes reality it will seriously set back the value of the internet, its freedom of speech and privacy. It doesnt matter that it is "just" one country. Its a western country and this mindset of censorship and control by such a government worries me. Alot.

Yes thats on my todo list.. but its less essential. At the moment my top-of-the list is getting it to copy back logging from each node. I want this to happen automatically after a certain interval so in case the node goes down you still get your logging data.

That is exactly why I put this together, no more guessing at which nodes have been deployed an which nodes havnt

agreed, though its a great way to get the word out. Posted it in an IRC channel and got 22 people to sign up in about 10 mins hehe, thought i did get a few people feeling like they got scamed aswell

I think we have found the LulzSec hacker manifesto.

Im already on it, at least for domains that I am a part of or know people in

I think calling it a "large" footprint is an understatement. My conspiracy buddies are going nuts with the idea that its the government trying to convince us to hand over our internet freedom to them. I wish i could laugh at them with confidence

that is very true, but the media seems to spin it purely against the big bad hackers. Trust me, I love that these companies are finally getting a reality check! I mean the Citi hack was URL modification. please thats like figuring out if theres http://something.com/2.jpg there is probably also 1.jpg and 3.jpg

depends on which corporations you ask, Comcast would love to be able to sell you just certain websites in a package deal. Starter package, including Fox, CNN and Comcast.com, for 30$/mo next step up is the premium package including Facebook and twitter for 60$/mo.. but if you want YouTube and Netflix you need the platinum package for 120$/mo.

I really hope that scenario never happens, but if we get more Lulzsec like things we will get laws making sure everything is regulated and monitored.
