They recently told people to stop using the supercharger so much. I'm doubtful it's a viable business model long term.

Which is a good thing. It means if you get mugged, if your kid gets abducted, if you get stabbed, there may well be some garage or shop with CCTV who will have some useful evidence…

> anti science climate change denier Not everything is quite so black and white. You shouldn't be so quick to divide people into "goodies" and "baddies". You can be absolutely agai…

How many memory corruption / buffer overflow exploits have there been say in the JVM? Using something like Java does cut out a whole class of memory exploits...

Isn't that pretty much why we have welfare - to give the poor protection money to stop them attacking? Sure, you could spend more on police, but it's probably more cost effective t…

I've been running it for months without issues. Yes every so often it fills up the /tmp directory - setup a cronjob or something, but it is basically install and forget. (My instal…

At the very least the magazine producer may get angry, and make it hard for you to buy the magazines.
