Great... yet annother Open OS phone/computer. Not like that's been done before to "great acclaim". Anybody remember Jolla, the SailfishOS, and the Jolla Tablet?

Part of my local NextDoor after I got a card in the mail.

Lots of "Where was that police car that went down my street headed?", "Escaped Animal", "Flea Market swap", "Promoting my home researched Christian eschatology book published on vanity press".

Occastionally there's useful information like City Council issues, major road closures, etc. But As others have said a lot of NIMBYs, armchair patriots, and thinly disguised racisim.

Have you ever taken a Greyhound? Granted I have a n=1 experience, however a Bus leaving Denver (with a final destination of Dallas) leaved much to be desired.

The route-through method means that you'll stop about once every hour for 15~20 minutes for on-off and snacks/restroom. If you're still somewhat wakeful these stops are just at the twilight phase and you don't get truly restful sleep.

Read the article. The employees who want Travis back are people who clicked into the letter/thread and read it. No positive assertion that those who read the letter actually endorse the position. Let's generously say half of the 1000 endorse it. That's 5% of the entire employee base. I'd be interested to see how many of the entire employee base expresses the viewpoint that they don't want him back.

I understand the need to fund things, but could someone illuminate for a end consumer of the software what requires 15k euros a month development for GnuPG? Yes new cyphers/PRNGs/hashes come online, but it doesn't seem to be moving as quickly as other internet infrastructure (GnuTLS, X.org, SSL, NTPD) products.

It seems like things that were sponsored by major organizations because they saw the good in having their name associated with a product or service in favor of getting the "internet at large" to pay for things that have become ingrained as "But it's free so why should we pay for it?"

Creating the group scared United because you didn't have any unifying characteristic other than the event. Having people ruminate together could have been the fermenting grounds for several (or a class action) lawsuit against the company.

This must also be the same Cliff Stoll of the fameous/infameous Hannover Hacker. So wierd to see the funny interconnections in the real world.

"The Cuckoo's Egg" is one of my favorite books and got me on the path of "understanding the problem for all it's layers" instead of correcting a bug.

If he is so unconcerned with verifying his test results, perhaps luminaries in his discipline should write to the journals where his papers are being published pointing out the uncorrected errors and suggest that the journal's editorial department be supplemented to fine tooth comb his assertions.

It's overreactions to marginally risque content that strip humor from talks.

I'd hate to think what the "PC police" would say to the very tenured college abstract calculas professor who accidentally asked us to derive the tangent to secant z. He paused after writing sec(z) and made the comment in front of the entire lecture hall "I'm sure we all would like to be sexy."

I use it through second level abstracting site hnapp.com

I don't care about the Y Combinator self promotion of their startup incubators, nor do I care about Y Combinator's own blog content. I also don't have time to read the entire firehose of content that comes through daily from the "new" feed. I self limit to posts that have at least a score of 50. I also use a RSS feed so I can dip in/out as needed.

knowingly filing a false DMCA notice is perjury, and because the filer is a lawyer, the state bar can take care of his misconduct.

Found the State Bar of California website, found Yankelvits' membership profile (http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Member/Detail/155676 who the hell uses a Yahoo email account any more), sent off a contact us form asking the bar to open an investigation into the member so that they can see if other fradulent DMCA notices have gone out.

Also got my first half refund in my paypal acct a few days ago. Since I promised I would only strongly reccomend not getting a Jolla device for those conditions, that's what I'm saying.

If you like total linkdark from your manufacturer coupled with emergency releases of news (because someone else leaked they missed a critical funding round) that leaves users even more befuddled and calling for clear feedback.

Technically they already have proven their value in the Darden foods (Olive Garden, etc.) Presendation where they clean sweept the management in the proxy fight http://www.shareholderforum.com/dri/Library/20140911_Starboa...

Adding annother "Google Reader" replacement for TinyTiny-RSS. There is some jiggery-pokery" that needs to be done, but it does nearly everything you could want (I wouldn't mind getting the behind the cut reveals)

I would have preferred the title "Company reaps karma for abrupt termination of critical Sysadmin"

In other news Water is wet.

Of course Wikipedia is going to favor open access sources. The average volunteer editor isn't going to have easy access to the paywalled specialized journals on a when editing or creating an article. Having the articles be openly searchable and non-paywalled means that a editor volunteer can drop the citation in easily and without having to go through the various hoops of getting someone who has access to the paywalled sources.

What other synonyms would you prefer using with respect to RMS and his obsessive-compulsive need to denounce Linus and Linux every time as "GNU Linux" instead of "Linux"?

Still waiting for the obligatory RMS "Anti-Torvalds" rant. Also this doesn't seem to be the announcement of "We are moving to git as of this date" but rather "Why don't we move over to git" proposal

Oh goodey... Annother Amy's Baking Company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy's_Baking_Company) in the making
