I tried to catch an Uber ride from Heathrow before, and it was a total nightmare in terms of not knowing where to go, having come out of the wrong exit, and the driver ending up in a car park. Really, the airports benefit from allowing them too, as they reduce traffic congestion and the number of confused people milling around looking for where their ride is...
I remember when thinkgeek had a wide variety of genuinely interesting stuff and not just the latest pop culture 'geek' merchandise (sure, they've always had some of that, but years back it wasn't the overriding theme like it is today). This is a sad moment, but probably to have been expected.
Sometimes people don't comment because they don't have anything interesting/useful to add, but still found the article interesting and want it to be more visible, so they upvote it and move on.
People don't want it because it's binary, not because you can't grep it.
* you need to use a new proprietary tool to interact with them
* all scripts relating to logs are now broken
* binary logs are easy to corrupt, e.g. if they didn't get closed properly.
>You can have a binary index and text logs too! / You can. But what's the point?
The point is having human-readable logs without having to use a proprietary piece of crap to read them. A binary index would actually be a perfect solution - if you're worried about the extra space readable logs take, just .gz/.bz2 them; on decent hardware, the performance penalty for reading is almost nonexistent.
If you generate 100GB/day, you should be feeding them into logstash and using elasticsearch to go through them (or use splunk if $money > $sense), not keeping them as files. Grepping logs can't do all the stuff the author wants anyway, but existing tools can, that are compatible with rsyslog, meaning there is no need for the monstrosity that is systemd.
I had the same feeling - plus the broadband there was terrible. I would never live in a suburb even if I was paid to. The middle of nowhere though, would be even worse than a suburb as it's the same problems but more so and without the (relative) proximity to work.
I would only ever use agent forwarding to a trusted host exactly because of what it does - put a socket on that host that responds with your SSH key... Anyone on that host with root has access to your key.

They can. That's why they require your PIN every N tries (N is configurable by the issuer, I think). All the money spent up to and until N is reached is just lost though, I guess.
This is why I despair at all these new keyless cars. I would pay money to have a normal key over one of those, because it's more secure.
Also, one huge reason I would never want a keyless car: I can't check if it's locked before I walk off; I just have to trust that it will lock once I'm far enough away and before someone else jumps into it and drives off.
Good for them. About time someone stood up to surveillance in a meaningful way - hit the government where it hurts (in the wallet) is a tactic that should be used more.
Use it. 7.1a has been shown safe. Watch https://truecrypt.ch/ for news about any developments (CipherShed and/or VeraCrypt) as well as being a trusted source for 7.1a.
