That's not a Geeklog feature. It's
a Groklaw coping mechanism. We set
that up so spammers have trouble
posting long paragraphs of urls. Also
without it, if a url is really long,
it can break up the formatting and
people end up having to scroll.

Building my Own Laptop - PJ, WHY?
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, February 04 2013 @ 11:07 AM EST
when this is readily available: Quad Core Android Stick Mini PC if there isn't yet there will soon be a raw Linux for it. If someone WANTS a "laptop" they can mount it, the interface hardware, display and the battery in a 3D print case for a lot less!

This has been done before, with substantial success.

lwn.net just hit 15 years in operation and uses this model. All content is
available for free (some after 1 week, but even then subscribers can send links
out that will let non-subscribers read the article)

it's not a way to get rich, but if you produce articles that people want to
read, they will support you.


I'm not understanding PJs privacy rant, when you login to a site, that site has
it's logs of what you do. Groklaw included. Privacy at that point is about what
the site owners do with the data.

If you insist on using https, why do you use a certificate carrying
a different hostname to the place serving it? Safari protests.

Why Aaron died
Authored by: Anonomous on Tuesday, February 05 2013 @ 08:23 AM EST
Why Aaron died.

This quote is worth the widest possible nationwide dissemination:

If on January 10, Steve Heymann and Carmen Ortiz at the Massachusetts US Attorney’s office had called Aaron’s lawyer and said they’d realized their mistake and that they were ... ready to offer a reasonable plea deal that wouldn’t have marked Aaron as a felon for the rest of his life — would Aaron have killed himself on January 11?

Dell's record breaking buyout
Authored by: hardmath on Tuesday, February 05 2013 @ 03:02 PM EST

Link

Okay, it links to a New York Times story about the record breaking aspects of the deal, rather than the one in the News Picks, but we've been hearing the (undenied) rumors for some time now.

My comment is, didn't they learn from Nokia's "success"?

If I were a PC manufacturer...
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 05 2013 @ 05:45 PM EST
... I would take the Microsoft/Dell deal as an indicator that I might not be as
favored by Microsoft - that I might get code drops behind Dell, for instance.
Time to develop a Linux strategy, then.

If the PC OEMs see things this way, then that should be the end of
"Microsoft only" for everybody but Dell.
