  1. Re:Full story at, err, 11? on Greek Government Abruptly Shuts Down State Broadcaster · · Score: 1

    First one says "Bread and Circuses", second is "Learn to read latin". :-)

  2. Re:DSL over copper on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Future of Old Copper Pair Technology? · · Score: 1

    Ummm. No. Fibre To The Neighbourhood, as opposed to Fibre To The Home (FTTH -- and note that Fibre ends with re, not er). http://www.bell.ca/Bell_Internet/Promotions/Fibe-Internet

  3. Re:backup your date to multisources on Dealing With the Eventual Collapse of Social Networks · · Score: 1

    Your hard drive probably has a lifespan that is much much much shorter than facebook's. Good luck.

    Maybe not. Drives are cheap, many motherboards have on-board RAID support. My desktop at home and at work both have RAID1 C drives, and my desktops at both locations do weekly automated backups to a RAID1 NAS device on the respective home/office network. My iMac and MacBookPro also back up using Time Machine to the office NAS (no RAID on these, of course). All this stuff is cheap these days. We should all take advantage of that.

  4. Machines named after Canadian National Parks on Server Names For a New Generation · · Score: 1

    I name my servers (and desktops and laptops) after Canadian National Parks I have visited -- so Fundy, CapeBreton, BrucePeninsula, Yoho, Kootenay, Kouchibougouac, Auyuittuq etc -- I keep those hard to type ones for infrequently typed names like print servers.

  5. Re:Glad to see Microsoft taking this position on Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State · · Score: 1

    I am also glad to see Microsoft taking this position -- except for the reason stated. They shouldn't be taking this position because discrimination is impacting their ability to attract and retain talented workers, it should be simply because it's the right thing to do! Plain and simple!

  6. Re:It's really not that difficult. on Open Source Utilities For Facebook Privacy · · Score: 1

    That is why I removed all the info from those parts of my profile. My "Friends" already know that information anyway, so I don't need to post it. All posting it does is to let Facebook target you with ads.
