>>NATO would be dissolved...

This plays right into Putin's hands including everything else Trump has been doing to bring down the USA.

Anyone else think those inductor windings look sloppy like they were done by hand instead of a machine?

Sorry, after the Tegna deal they will own all three stations in my market. Essentially, the viewpoints we see will be determined by one man.

Nexstar, who initially threaten to pull Kimmel's show from all (200) of its stations and started this ball rolling, owns ALL THREE OF OUR LOCAL network affiliate stations. All 3 in one market. Remember when this was illegal?

Is there a way to hide the colored tab group buttons so they can only be seen in the List-all-tabs drop-down?

Where I live (in the USA), they are still building new gas stations. Are they expecting the government to bail them out? What kind of business person sees the impending end of fossil-fuel cars and builds a gas station?

I tried to go to their site to look up a drug that my spouse takes - you can't look up prices without signing up and you have to give them your phone number...NOPE!

Liquid soaps are a poor choice from an environmental/cost standpoint. Most of the soap goes down the drain and is wasted. Bar soap stays on your hands and last many times longer.

Oh yeah, I'm going to download a script from a website I've never heard of and pipe it into shell without review.

Even if 99 percent of the time nothing benign is happening, why get people used to doing this?

FYI, we're a long time Linux shop (mostly Ubuntu server) and are slowing moving away from it because I don't like the direction it is going (systemd, etc). I've got more than half of our systems on FreeBSD/OpenBSD now.

It's gotten much easier to both upgrade and to install software. Example:

To apply security patches:

  freebsd-update fetch  

  freebsd-update install

To upgrade to a new version of the operating system:

  freebsd-update -r 11.0-RELEASE upgrade

To install software:

  pkg install chromium

You can still use the ports system if you want to, but pkg is so much easier.

If police really thought this was a bomb, why didn't they evacuate the school and call the bomb squad? Their motives are suspect.

nvlc - a ncurses vlc videolan media player built into vlc.

nvlc is just a script supplied with vlc: #! /bin/sh exec /usr/bin/vlc -I "ncurses" "$@"

Title is inaccurate - the important part at the end was cut off: "- Ex-employees"

Accusation is presented as fact.

This would be a better title: "Russian antivirus firm faked malware to harm rivals - say ex-employees"

I wouldn't say the init scripts on OpenBSD are complex:

# cat smtpd

#!/bin/sh # # $OpenBSD: smtpd,v 1.4 2012/10/26 06:51:59 ajacoutot Exp $

daemon="/usr/sbin/smtpd"

. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr

pexp="smtpd: \[priv\]"

rc_reload=NO

rc_cmd $1
