  • Not only is it opt in, it's also running fully locally on your machine.

  • We really need news agencies to release the full letter instead of selectively quoting.

    Well I can see why morally they wouldn't release anything at all, since doing that effectively says "if you kill a bunch of people you will get your voice heard". But I don't think that's what's stopping them.

  • Pretty sure it's this guy. Not sure why people are talking about him all of a sudden, though.

  • I had the HTC Desire Z, which I believe was essentially the EU version of the G2. What an absolute banger.

  • Wait, wasn't this already an issue a while back and wasn't that resolved?

  • Wait, did I get this right -- you were in the bathroom with him and he blocked you from exiting by essentially starting a game of "the floor is vomit"?

  • "We did not commit crime, the algorithm committed crime", rather

  • Good point. Well, it is an 80's movie

  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system.

    Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

  • FWIW the Radioactivity article is about the Kraftwerk original while OP linked a Fatboy Slim remix / cover. Kinda reminds me of early Ladytron actually

  • You want earplugs that dampen above a certain threshold. That rules out most earplugs because they always dampen all sound.

    Wait, how does that work? Surely a dynamic limiter like that would require some electronics
