  1. Headphone jack on the iPhone SE is unusable anyway on 'Headphone Jacks Are the New Floppy Drives' (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    It's on the wrong end of the phone for pocket-based use.

  2. Re:Typical Microsoft on New Windows 10 Preview For PCs With Bash, Cross-Device Cortana Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No it doesn't, at least on my device.

  3. You have described the Mine Project on A Call For an Open, Distributed Alternative To Facebook · · Score: 1

    The Mine project (http://themineproject.org/) exists to allow exactly this.

  4. Re:Fascinating on Dispelling BSD License Misconceptions · · Score: 1

    No, you have to pass on a lack of warranty on the part of the author as identified in the disclaimer.

  5. Re:Fascinating on Dispelling BSD License Misconceptions · · Score: 1

    The BSD license was developed at Berkeley who have, ahem, a reasonably good law school. It's also been tested in court and stood its ground well, so forgive me if I call BS.

  6. Re:Fascinating on Dispelling BSD License Misconceptions · · Score: 1

    There seems to be quite the firestorm of controversy over the BSD license lately- perhaps it'd just be better to use a license that isn't so controversial- MIT if you want something to be available for use in closed-source products, or GPL if you don't. Yes, some people would obviously like you to think that. Luckily, it's bullshit.
  7. Re:Relicensing doesn't matter! on Dispelling BSD License Misconceptions · · Score: 1

    100% agreed. I wish she would just report on the SCO case and leave everything else the hell alone.

  8. Re:Someone didn't read his next email... on Gentoo/FreeBSD On Hold Due To Licensing Issues · · Score: 1

    Besides which, a recompile every month or so is good for your system. what the fuck?
  9. Re:OSX on Harvard Concludes Linux Will Remain Second Best · · Score: 1

    So you press F10.

  10. Re:UltraSPARC IV is the replacement for UltraSPARC on Sun Cancels UltraSPARC IIIi+ · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well the V210 doesn't have dual power supplies, so you are in direct agreement with the post you replied to, which said: "As a matter of fact, all servers that sun makes that have dual power supplies are hotswappable."

  11. Re:Far from authoritative on IBM Derides OpenSolaris as Not-So-Open · · Score: 1

    No, he said that in TFA, not 15 years ago. Sheesh.

  12. Far from authoritative on IBM Derides OpenSolaris as Not-So-Open · · Score: 1

    Dan Frye also said that there was no Internet in 1991, so you'll forgive me if I laugh everything he says off.

  13. Re:Why is child pornography as bad as terrorism? on Backlash Against British Encryption Law · · Score: 1

    Obviously a crime went into the making of the file

    What now?

  14. Re:Oh Come On....... on AOL Digs Up Yard for Spam Gold · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking.

  15. Re:Another Layer of goo on HP Announces Support for Debian Linux · · Score: 1

    If the experience of my friends is anything to go by, no, you will not enjoy working for HP.

  16. Re:So let me get this straight... on Dangerous Apple Power Adapters? · · Score: 1

    Operative word being "can", not "should" or "must".

  17. Re:So let me get this straight... on Dangerous Apple Power Adapters? · · Score: 1

    There's nothing in the manual that says that you should roll the cable around the adapter feet, and I suspect that you don't even know what they are.

  18. Mod parent down on Dangerous Apple Power Adapters? · · Score: 1

    Completely off the point, and I suspect just an opportunity to float the amazon affiliate link

  19. At least you seem to know what "novel" means... on Free Visual Novel Design Engine Released · · Score: 1

    Personally, I suffered about 5 seconds of extreme confusion as my brain first tried to fit the words "Novell" and the other "novel" (as in, "unusual") to the story.

  20. Re:Bad idea from a storage management point of vie on Sun Unveils Thumper Data Storage · · Score: 1

    True, although ZFS will support raidz2, which allows for the failure of 2 devices in a raid5 type setup. This reduces parity wastage somewhat.

  21. Re:Software RAID only, plus 7200 RPM no10k or 15k on Sun Unveils Thumper Data Storage · · Score: 1

    Actually you will need to deal with the software, because it just runs Solaris.
    Hell, you fanboys could probably throw that linucks thing on there if you like ;)

  22. Re:Indeed, Sun's list prices are way too high on Sun Unveils Thumper Data Storage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So you're keeping those disks in a bucket and cooling them with slave-girl driven fans or something?

  23. Re:I think the GPL weenies are jealous on DTrace Becomes Usable on FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    For example I do not use debuggers at all. And I do not need one - I can tell precisely what went wrong in my program by just description of the symptoms. Other (normal) guys spend 90% of their working time in debuggers. Probably normal developers would appreciate the tool.

    Ha ha, what a prick.

  24. Re:Worse than that! on Overconfidence in SSH Protection · · Score: 1

    But we all knew that already, right? That's why the default is:
