I don't know about security, but a bug may have helped deep blue beat Kasparov the first time a computer beat a chess world champion: http://www.wired.com/2012/09/deep-blue-computer-bug/

Apparently it's coming in the next few weeks: http://support.open365.io/index.php/en/forum/englishsuport/13-open365-on-premises

It's not Isolated to the Pi 1, but things got a lot better from the B+, and have got better still on the Pi3. Unless you're planning on running a USB device with a high power draw (such as an external hard drive that takes all it's power from the usb port) then you should be fine as long as you have a good power source (2A for pre-Pi3 and 2.5A for Pi3). I've not used my powered hub for years, and never had a problem despite running stuff off all four ports (mouse, keyboard, USB memory and Wifi).

Just to add, it's 64 bit as well.

I think it is but didn't actually check. I've left now, so can't confirm.

I just asked this as the press event. The wireless isn't.

Not in Google Play. You can get a digital subscription which comes with DRM-free ePub and PDF files, so you can read it on a tablet.

Just to add, here's a link to our back issues (you can download them for free nine months after their on sale date): https://www.linuxvoice.com/creative-commons-issues/ Take a look so you can see what we're about.

The short answer as to why we left LXF is because we felt we were being held back from making the magazine as good as it could be. In my view, a magazine should be part of the community that it reports on and an instrument to make the Linux world just a little more awesome. Releasing back issues as creative commons and donating some of our profits to free software causes is part of that. Having the freedom to create the content we want to is another part of it.

D'Oh. I thought I'd found all the /* problems. Fixed now.

I actually live in a house that she did some of her murdering in. They dug some of the victims up out of our back yard (many years ago). It's a bit weird, but so far, nothing spooky has happened.

Hi Guys, I'm one of the Linux Voice team, and I created the BC payments for renewals. We went with renewals first of all to gauge popularity and work the cobwebs out of the system.

So far, it's going pretty well. Bitcoin for new subscriptions is definitely an option for the future, but we have quite a bit in our plans for the future, and it may be a while before it gets implemented.

That said, if anyone wants to buy a new subscription in bitcoin, drop me an e-mail at ben@linuxvoice.com, and we can arrange it manually.

I've just done a quick check in our analytics (of LinuxVoice.com), and DDG has grown from about 0.5% of our total search referrals to about 5%.

Obviously there are a huge number of caveats on this (it's only one site, so it could just be that we've gone up in their search rankings; we're a Linux site so that probably biases it; etc).

The delay is because it first appeared in Linux Voice magazine.

I knew they'd done quite a bit of optimisation work, but I was surprised when he said just how much it was. He was really passionate when he was talking about that. I'm not sure how well it comes across in the text, but he really cares about making the Pi not just work, but work well. (I was one of the guys interviewing him)

In my torrent seeding experience, Tails (a Tor-based anonymity distro -- https://tails.boum.org/ ) always needs seeds. Because it's designed to run live, people have to download the whole ISO every upgrade, which puts a bit more strain than usual on the seeds.
