Okay, serious overestimation. All of these prices are so far out of my budget that I don't make any distinction :)

Looks interesting, is there a non-paywalled version?

You might be surprised how little people actually regard the owner's political opinion of the miltibillion dollar corporation from which they just bought a quarter-million dollar c…

My favorite piece of 'knowledge': " 'Red shift' shows increasing totalitarian domination of the outer reaches of the universe. Write your congressman! "

I read that title and was quite confused, thinking "they do have a free plan..." Anyway, I understand your concern with this huge monopoly. As far as I know, there really are no co…

Alright... Who paid for this study? While I know that this decline is probably an indicator of poor ecological health, I personally say good riddance.

That picture of the "NYC Banana Fire" was so perfectly random that it is my new favorite picture ever. https://what-if.xkcd.com/imgs/a/158/nycbananafire.png

I would love to be serious about this, but I simply cannot.

Seems from this article to have been a pretty standard operation, despite the unusually large scale. The biggest thing I picked up on was their practice that they mentioned of samp…

Heh, I guess screw them and shut it down anyway - at least that seems to be the policy in my IT department :)

Those are some sad stories. It's a crazy world out there, with lots of people trying to take advantage of their fellow humans.

Searching for meaning for these things is a trap. It can be a harmless hobby, but for many people it becomes something more and can tear them apart (e.g. inducing anxiety or obsess…

Too bad I just gutted mine...

I imagine this story was worth orders of magnitude more to the news network than the ticket would be worth to the man... I'm sure they could make it worth his while :)

You guys should read The Cuckoo's Egg by Clifford Stoll. It's a classic.

You guys should check out prices in the Nashville area...

I wonder what that would make HN?

I agree that it seems a little bit over-dramatic, but seeing as an employee said it was a "shit show" (quoting from the article), there must be something going on over there. I can…

I believe I may have seen it in a shortcut editor somewhere, but I suppose I could be misremembering or that could have been a one-off implementation.

This might be because Word overrides system shortcuts (i.e. the 'paste without formatting' in this case). Google Docs tries to do this in the browser as well, but it happens to sup…

Now it's just a matter of time before I start losing installs because I can't remember passwords...

I was worried about the headless setup, but apparently you can create a user in the official imager tool. I guess I'll go make a fork of the OS that keeps the default credentials. …

Interesting, but I can't help thinking of it as just another publicity grab by the Times.

This doesn't really seem like government action... If they really wanted to silence him, I feel like the wider world would never hear of it. Maybe this is a dramatic way of sending…
