  1. Re:Eh? on Federal Appeals Court Says Sex Offender's Computer Ban Unfair · · Score: 1

    You tossed in that word "rape" like it was just par for the course.

    Straight people rape other people all the time, so do gay people. That's why we have a special word for it.

    I also don't believe i ever said anything about relationships.

    Justice is about making people accountable for their actions by removing them from society because they are dangerous or taking away freedoms temporarily.

    Hacking off body parts is permanent revenge, not accountability.

    Agree with me on what? I simply asked how they are different, other than the object of attraction.

    As far as I can tell, the only difference is in whether or not society regards them as acceptable, and whether or not society thinks these groups are more or less likely to sexually assault other people.

    Well aren't you a precious little snowflake....

    Beating people in prison for making picture books, sabotaging rehabilitation programs..... ...and you want to work in the criminal justice system. Fantastic.

    Other than the object of attraction, how are they different?

    I think what you meant to say is, attraction does not inherently lead people to rape the object of their attraction.

  8. Re:Monitoring yes, complete ban in this age? No. on Federal Appeals Court Says Sex Offender's Computer Ban Unfair · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Depends on the type of monitoring. I think it would be reasonable to prohibit the use of certain services and websites, but there's a lot of potential for abuse here especially once you get into spyware territory. We can't simply discard concerns about government intrusion and abuse of power just because the case involves sex offenders.

    People organize their entire lives on computers, they're a virtual extension of your mind in many ways. If we get used to the idea that government can impose total monitoring on a computer because of some criminal punishment, what sort of other offenses will it end up being used for?

  16. Yea, I RTFA, but... on Open Source Deduplication For Linux With Opendedup · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ......from what i can tell, this is NOT a way to deduplicate existing filesystems or even layer it on top of existing data, but a new filesystem operating perhaps like eCryptfs, storing backend data on an existing filesystem in some FS-specific format.

    So, having said that, does anyone know if there is a good way to resolve EXISTING duplicate files on Linux using hard links? For every identical pair found, a+b, b is deleted and instead hardlinked to a? I know there are plenty of duplicate file finders (fdupes, some windows programs, etc), but they're all focused on deleting things rather than simply recovering space using hardlinks.
