I use firefox with the HTTPS Everywhere add-on. If I'm using an open wifi access point (for instance at the pub), will my data be safe from scrutiny by the router's owner (assuming I'm visiting...
My (and your) Friend Google showed me this.
Poor doggies. :(
I've stayed awake (with possible dozes of 1 minute or less) for 5 days. I did it a lot some years ago because of depression. It sometimes caused psychosis, paranoia, visual and audio hallucinations...
As far as I know, a thread doesn't automatically close. It stays open, but as more posts on other threads are made, they push your thread down the list, until it's not on the 1st page, and no one's...
The OP says skype is dead because its back door is "official". But what about all the programs with "unofficial" back doors. Bruce Schneier has written about it rather well in his article for The...
OP, your situation arose cos you didn't make the move fast enough. Learn from this: if you like someone, go tell her! The worst that could happen is she laughs at you and says "No way!" And that...
I used to have a mail server on my box as an experiment, basically a convoluted way to use my Gmail accounts via the command line - using programs like mail, mailx, mutt. Of course, I'm not doing...
I haven't seen the movie "After Earth" yet. But I was watching an advertisment for it on TV last night and it got me thinking: if the entire human race left earth right now (to live on another...
I live in the UK, and have been comparing Raspberry PIs on ebay.com and ebay.co.uk. The prices on the .com (USA a presume) are generally better than the British site. But I have noticed that some...
It's nice to see Ubuntu or Linux mentioned by manufacturers, but sadly it doesn't mean that much. For instance, go to a site like www.maplin.co.uk and search for usb sticks. You'll find in the...

Kabikaboo just won't work. Try it through the GUI (the "Dash") and nothing at all seems to happen. Try through command line and I get this:
t0p@mars:~$ /usr/bin/kabikaboo
Improper shutdown...
Just starting planning out My Great SF Novel. It's gonna have lotsa different aliens in it, and I'm looking for an inoffensive way to write about them. Are the Blurghs a violent alien species or...
Oh my, I don't think anyone's trying to defend nazis. What I think is appropriate is the subject of use of language, sensitivity about perceived attack even when no one really has attacked you,...
First, a quick correction: "friend 1" is not a pseudonym for "me". I think Friend 1 was stupid to say what she said. I have told her she should apologise, but she adamantly refuses to. She says...
If you ask Google to define:great it'll give you:
So, great doesn't necessarily mean "good". Look at Alexander the Great for instance. A warrior and commander par excellence, but he was...
When it was being shown on tv, I was round a friend's house with other people so I didn't really pay much attention. But I do remember seeing the Doctor wearing a hat (bowler hat?) and it was like...
Thanks to everyone who replied. I think I'm gonna go with the general consensus and not use shortbread.
I don't really expect to make any real money from my writing, it's generally for my own...
Yes, that's what I want too. Stickiness. I want to be sticky. My goodness, doesn't that look/sound odd when you read/say it: "I want to be sticky"? Solution: go smear honey all over my body. So...
I don't think a one-way mission has to be a suicide mission. Supplies could be sent from earth regularly. In fact, before the colonists head off, ships could be sent ahead carrying supplies and...
Thanks everyone, I now have some ideas.
I've got a large, barky dog, but if intruders got in she would probably pin them down and lick them to death. I don't want to be responsible for such a...
I read somewhere (sorry I don't have a link) that tales of Countess Elizabeth Bathory bathing in the blood of young women must be apocryphal as there was at that time no known way to prevent the...
http://s2.hubimg.com/u/1364325_f260.jpg Anyone know what this type of door latch is called? They're very good, some rogue once tried to kick my front door in, and in the end he just kicked a hole in...
Unfortunately, Ubuntu works at its best when it can access the internet. A constant connection is not required, but it does like to check to see if there are any problems and grab the fixes...
