For a certain definition of "works".

    > MS is probably bound by some partnership agreements so it cannot refuse

Who cares? It's in MS store sold as MS "signature device".

JHVHub would be better

>He also won a gold medal in the Olympics for boxing

I heard that's mostly a myth

edit:

there was apparently different Pythagoras, who was a boxer.

Unfortunately, opening and forwarding random PowerPoint presentations is all some of my relatives do on their computers.

I can't agree.

I have written quite a lor of work in LaTeX and I am still perplexed by floating images and I can never tell where floats (images, tables) will be or should be, because it always jumps randomly from page to page.

My roommate at college had a thesis with lots of images and tables and he basically gave up on LaTeX because of that.

Also, installing fonts to MS Word is trivial. Installing fonts to LaTeX ... well... not so. You need to use XeLaTeX. Which breaks some other things. I tried to use bibtex with xelatex, and started to do some weird issues, until I found out that the texlive packages in debian/ubuntu repos are outdated, so I had to uninstall them and install it again from the website, and then something else broke.

Meanwhile MS Word just works as it is. And you don't need to learn the weird table syntax. And the weird floating logic. And the difference between TeX, LaTeX, XeLaTeX, BibTex, Texlive.

It's good that Google doesn't log your Google searches with Google Chrome.

This article is speaking clearly from the encoding and sorting view, not the easiness to learn or the logic of pronounciation.

I am not him, but on one older Mac, I am running Snow Leopard because it's the last OS X I can run on a 32bit computer.

And yes, I know, it has all the terrible ShellShock bugs and other stuff that will never be fixed, but I just need to run some OS X software time from time and I won't buy a new Mac because of that.

And when I tried to install Linux on that, Wi-fi didn't work properly, and there were some other issues I had with I think rebooting and maybe some other hardware stuff (I know, it sounds like a cliche, but it's true)

True. Well, I have a dual-sim phone, so I keep one as mine, and the other one of the country where I am. So it's even simpler :) But I get what you are saying.

Well in that case you have to have it tied with your name, so it will only work for contracts; and only about half of the people here are on contracts.

Hm. Interesting.

If you want to buy a new phone and keep your number.... what do you do?

Well I guess you can just ask in the store to move it to the new one, that's true. It's just... strange.

Here, you got a separate SIM even with Apple phones. It's just how it's done.

The only toy I remember not having a separate SIM card was Amazon Kindle (the e-ink reader), and that's because they try to hide that the SIM is even there (and it's kind of weird).

That's totally weird to me.

I don't want to say it from a position of superiority or anything, just different mobile culture, but in here, changing SIM cards is normal. It's what you do when you buy a new phone, because - as I said below - you get a SIM card separately, even when you buy it right with the operator with the contract.

But I guess it's a different culture

Hm. In here, we don't have separate packages for separate carriers.

For all 3 major carriers, you just get your phone and in a separate envelope, you get your SIM card.

I admit, as an European, I see no point to this.

If you want a new SIM card, and you don't have a contract, just buy a new SIM card and put it in your phone / tablet.

If you have a long-term contract, this won't help you anyway.

Where is the catch? (Sorry if I am sounding stupid)

try the other test posted above, this one is... strange

I am from Czech Republic.

ICQ was popular here way more than in the rest of the world, but it got displaced by Facebook Messenger (and to some smaller extent Google Talk/Hangout/what's the name now).

I have no idea about Russia or Israel, where it was too popular.

I think intention is important in these cases, more than what you actually did.

He did not break there to make himself rich or to cause any trouble for the server owner; quite the contrary.

Thanks.

This guy writes a lot of text but it takes him forever to get to the point.

How is a "socialite" and "social justice whiner" different from "free software whiner"? Idiot.

Also, RMS is a socialist if you read more of his writings. So you should go die.

Yeah, but it works already, and there are also so many features it's hard to know what all could be broken by randomly fiddling around the code.

(I suppose bash does not have a test suite.)

The main issue is, I think - if something works, nobody wants to fix it. Especially if that something is full with 80s code.

Bash works, pretty well, for a lot of people. So nobody wants to touch it.

The good thing about quantum mechanics is that you don't have to know anything about it and still say stuff with it that sounds incredibly profound. "Everything is just a probability! We are all waves, maaan."

(Sort of like Freud's psychoanalysis. Everything is a penis, or your mother.)

This has probably nothing to do with the article though.

People are now calling it "Shellshock".

That's nice. I like this song.

Well, this is an installation guide for the latest MacBook Pro, for the latest ubuntu.

I wouldn't call this "easy".

It also has a fairly big section "Things that do not work (or fully work) yet".

Hm.

On one hand, this is pretty specific and not "run into the woods" dangerous.

On the other hand, it's also not that unrealistic.

Also, I am kind of afraid there will be more stuff lurking in there.

That's really ugly and not a real logo.

It doesn't have a nice catchy name and a logo, though

I am on linode and precise LTS. I did this, and I got no bash update. What am I doing wrong?

edit: and how do I know if I am still vulnerable?

edit2: ok, this is the test

  env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"

and apparently I am already patched. So that's good.

Umm, did you... did you actually read the article?
