Also, willing to take naps.

I find it interesting that the Trump administration was only joined in this action by Republican-led states.

CBD.

That sounds right to me but it has been a while.

My apologies, I was specifically referring to text-based/console-based applications. All the GUI text editors seem to wrap and unwrap just fine.

I really don't want a word processor, per se, so much as I want really robust (realtime) text wrapping/unwrapping as I edit paragraphs. I've tried to get Vim and Emacs to do reflows but both were very flakey compared to something like WordPerfect for DOS.

I think the thing that I found most interesting on Plan9 was using union directories to set the search path.

I would like to see NetBSD follow suite but I don't know if they have the manpower to do so.

So it can't grab a person's iTunes Gift card balance?

That's been my experience on my mid-2013 Macbook Air - for what it is worth.

Thanks for posting this. I'll give it a watch.

The site the article links to put up a companion article that explains the technology:

My understanding is the Manning was refusing to testify to the Wikileaks/Assange grand jury - so this was basically being held for contempt of court.

I just read about this and find it interesting. Two questions:

1. Is Roam text only? I haven't noticed any images in the examples I have seen so far.

2. What is its business model? I didn't see any pricing information.

This sounds interesting, but personally, I am worried that this will just turn into yet another browser technology that will be used to abuse and track users. I really hope I am wrong.

This is sad. I used to work in a warehouse and we were mandated to have training in proper forklift use. There is no excuse for Amazon not conducting proper training.

The Indiana officials who tried to cover this up should have their ass put in a sling.

This may be off-topic but is there any consensus on what is the most accurate translation of the bible into English?

I remember friends bitching about Vista's UAC prompts but I never really had an issue with it. I suspect that was because their main experience was with Windows XP, which pretty much did everything with admin rights.

I tried making a new account two or three months ago. Twitter sent me a verification email, which I confirmed, but they immediately requested phone verification as well - even though I had never been able to use the account in any way. I refused and never opened an account because of that.

The sceptic in me thinks this is more about advertising and less about security.

I think this shows the danger that anyone who posts under their real name faces. Make a bad joke, or hold a wrong opinion, and you can find yourself out of work.

> I feel alienated from my computer. Subtle things will just change.

I sometimes feel like companies have used the guise of "protecting novice users" as a means to take away our freedoms and increase their power (e.g. Google forcing updates on Chrome; Microsoft forcing updates and telemetry on Windows; Apple prohibiting non-app store applications and iOS downgrades). Of course, Linux and BSD exist, but many people don't want to deal with them.

The whole situation is just depressing to me.

Yes, I know, but I don't want a pointing device that is intermingled with my keyboard.

I would consider a Thinkpad if Lenovo gave us the option of buying it without the nipple - which I feel is an awful pointing device (sorry, people who love it).

Personally, I actually like the design of the current Mac Pro, but I can understand why many wouldn't.

Personally speaking? I don't think so. I liked the first one but the rest felt like a cashing-in attempt. But that seems to be the case with everything these days.

Hey, thanks for this link. I can't believe I haven't come across this before now.

Borrow one or buy a new one - just like you would in any other lost phone event?

The first thing I do is update the BIOS, download the newest drivers and a copy of Firefox, and create install media. I would then perform a clean install. I liked doing this to make sure I was clear of any junkware (as a don't trust uninstallers) and to make sure my installation media worked.

After reinstalling I would create a new, regular, user account for normal use.

Mailing a bunch of "free" and "promotional" USB drives, prepared with zero-day malware, would probably work too. Especially if it was official looking.

That would be interesting.
