Really, you've never met a considerate smoker because you've never noticed them. They're the ones who don't sit in the smoking section of restaurants because they know how much it sucks to have someone smoke in the same building as you when you're eating. They smoke in the wind so that their clothes don't stink. They pick their time to smoke.
I mean I could say i've never met a considerate Jewish person, and that's racism (I've never met a Jewish person though, so it's not racism), but you've never met a considerate smoker and that's somehow alright? It's funny the people who normally complain about the rights of others being trampled trample the rights of others whenever they get the chance.
You had a bad experience, ipso facto everyone should stop using a service that works. That's bullshit. Spam is far worse than losing one or two emails because someone's IT guy didn't have the balls to tell his boss to keep the two ISP connections running concurrently while they tested everything. Then you complain about the user not receiving the mail? The best thing about a DNSBL is that you don't receive the mail, reducing bandwidth, reducing cost. Also, you couldn't have just forwarded all mail through your ISP? Why are you guys all so sour when you get listed on a blacklist for a few days, there are workarounds for you, but not many for the spammers.
Send spam, be punished? Doesn't really sound that bad to me. If you were worth your salt as an IT guy you would've had your ISP change your IP address though. I've dealt with SORBS in getting a range of IP addresses removed before, it took two weeks. During that time we routed all outbound mail through a different IP address. You're going to have trouble with blacklists because they have to be annoying to be effective.
A large percentage of malware comes from people installing pirated software. People who pirate Windows are... wait for it... more likely to pirate other software, too. Therefore, you'd expect a strong correlation between malware rate and pirated copies of Windows even if Microsoft did everything they could to keep pirated copies of Windows patched. Their "Genuine Advantage" crap is merely compounding the problem.
Users with low quotas in Australia are less likely to download windows patches, browser patches and are probably a significant number of the internet users here. In Indonesia the internet is so bad that you can barely download web pages, let alone updates. It doesn't matter if they're allowing people to patch pirate copies, some people just don't like their computer "wasting" bandwidth
By no stretch of the imagination does ZFS handle this 'magically'. There is a severe price to be paid. If you don't have redudancy then you will simply risk losing your ZFS pool if there is corruption.
I'm afraid that hardware, bad sector and disk issues are far, far more prevalent problems than data corruption at an OS level. Many apparent corruption issues at the OS level are usually down to hardware issues somewhere down the line. It might be a problem for operating systems with fairly shitty and poorly maintained disk and controller device drivers with a poor history on x86 and widely used hardware (hello Solaris!) but I'm afraid it's just not a primary concern for everyone else or for those developing desktop operating systems.
What have you got against better data integrity, where ever it's coming from? Do you hate data or something?
I've been using ZFS for a few years and I haven't lost anything yet, which is more than I can say for my experience with ext3, reiser, jfs, NTFS, FAT, HFS+ and XFS (oh and VMFS, that shit just disappears). I've lost data, had systemic corruption or just had whole datasets vanish on me through all of those file systems. The data is usually recoverable for me, but I shouldn't have to be wasting my time looking for shitty little files on a broken file system. I'm sure that ZFS will break for me one day and then I'll complain about it too, however I'd normally have been burnt by now.
This happens all the time. HTTP looking for exploitable PHP code, SSH looking for easily guessed passwords - there's been bots out there for years and they're always looking for something automatically. Add a ssh user to your linux box called test with the password test and then tell me that this is the first linux botnet. Install a vulnerable version of zencart on your server, and tell me this is the first linux bot net.
They're out there, you just don't hear about it. I'm pretty sure the first botnets were based on linux.
You're really citing Daniel "make shit up as I go along and claim it's the truth" Eran as a source? The iPhone is considered a big, bulky, slow phone in Japan. Maybe the speed of the 3GS makes it more appealing. Actually, you're probably Daniel Eran, so it would make sense to cite yourself.
I wouldn't mind paying for News if it were well reported. The problem with news nowadays is it's very shallowly investigated, because it costs money for any actual reporting. Murdoch doesn't seem to be the kind of guy who can turn this around though, because it's easier to sell tits for $1
The whole article feels like those one liners microsoft gives you during the install of Windows. Fastest and easiest Windows yet! Multi-touch support built right in! Most easy to use interface ever! There's no pause on any of the issues, it's like they're intentionally ignored. I think he mentions preinstalled bluetooth support has been removed, although he mentions it in passing.
Also: "From driver support" That's a feature now? sheeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
Did they change the explorer back to something that can be used without awkwardly looking at the buttons for a half hour?
That's the slowest part of vista in my opinion.
Yeah, but the general public don't really care that they have to use itunes to copy songs. The database that itunes generates when copying your files across makes the interface respond quicker. Sure, there's other music solutions, some better, but most are worse. Also, if you want your hardware to look nice, it needs to have less openings, less buttons. If you want it to work all of the time, you have to take out the ability for human error. Apple gets this, and because of that people get apple products.
Don't get get me wrong - Linux is what I do for a job. I'd still be hard pressed to be recommending it to anyone who didn't know what they were doing, because there's far too many things they could mess with that would break it.
My Datacentre power caps me. I can't install any more hardware into a rack I'm paying good money for. Because they don't have enough power. Don't go with Primus for anything.
ATX power supplies are really, really cheap. Anything you build or buy to replace them is going to be more expensive than those mass produced parts. Saving power is about saving money, not about saving the environment. If power lost cost big dc power supply then they'll go with the cheaper option.
By economists, I think you mean conservatives. It's not exactly voodoo rocket science to suggest that when you hire a guy who's unemployed to build something, he's going put that money you give him back into the economy. The worst thing the government could have done with this project was to give it to an existing company, as they were mostly overseas based companies. Optus would've taken the money to Singapore, etc.
I'd much rather see the competition working on the fibre. It's a better technology and they will have faster fibre speeds available for businesses. Cable and dsl you'll find die out quickly after it's introduced, just like dial up.
Dude, move to the city. You want the benefits of the city while living in shitsville? Bad luck. Can you take all our crime to your city with the bandwidth? I mean you guys get one police officer per 200 people in some towns, can we get that as well?
I'm sick of hearing people whine about shit internet when they live in the country. They get the benefits of the country, but also want the benefits of the city as well.
You really can't see the benefit to 100Mbps internet? Ubiquitous bandwidth will mean that there will be a whole lot of innovation trying to use said bandwidth. You may not be able to use the 12Mbps you get now, but you can bet money on people innovating around the fact that you will have 100Mbps internet in 8 years or so.

More addresses, not IPv6. They're just jamming the wrong technology down our throats, which is why everyone's ignoring it.
Why is anything bad said against IPv6 a troll? It's not like we're trolling, the addressing scheme is annoying, especially if your DNS is down.

So there are more fags than REAL MEN? No wonder they're always getting what they want and are oppressing the REAL MAN minority.

You call that beautiful? Just because you can make a desktop rotate doesn't mean you should.

Torrents would seem like random connections to multiple machines.

The rest are lost, or borrowed and not returned. I wouldn't trust CDs or DVDs for backups. They're not big enough now anyway.

Why not just change the characters to Nazi's and Americans, call it Afrika Korps, and people won't be offended.
Yeah, it probably did cause inflation. Since there was a large amount of deflation at the time it probably wasn't a bad thing though.
