  1. Re:I don't rely on domain names nowdays on Domains May Disappear After Search · · Score: 1

    How is this offtopic? I simply said that I never use DNS entries nowdays and rely on search engines which are more accurate. Search engines are the death to the DNS system.

    I just enter my search into my firefox url bar and voala it comes up from google. Domain names are for pussies with more money than sense.

    The airline can provide a phone "section or room" just as our trains do, its called BEING CIVIL, BEING POLITE. I think the ones that yap on their phones so loud it causes a BREACH OF THE PEACE are the selfish ones. Again I raised the point of hoping they have no phone seating areas with silence buffers / doors / curtians to block the sound travelling. We have that on our trains because we recognise this need in a public area. Again I raised the issue of increased air rage due to this anti social issue of mobile yappers. I have no problem with them making a few calls if they do it at a reasonable level but as we have seen in public that is not happening.

    Because most connections are in the clear and unencrypted. If you encrypt, you would be much more secure. Period.

    You obviously have lost the plot I SAID WHEN THEY ALLOW PEOPLE TO USE MOBILES ON THE PLANE. Not with the current ban. Hello.

    Putting lives in danger, please give it a rest LOL! Its using the same output (actually it is less as mobiles have to reach miles in some cases for a base station) and frequencies as the mobiles they ALLOW LOL, and anyway you are at more risk from death in an air plane by the ground maintenance crew neglegance (Just ask American Airlines), pilot error (also caused by fitague by evil corps demanding too much hours) and from software engineers who write the software who probably never even had been trained as a pilot. Shall we even talk about kapton wiring problems created by Du Pont? I can go on about greater risks. Give me a break with your petty quasi lawyer airline expert talk. Having to resort to countering by complaining about ones spelling (on the internet) is pure pettiness. I ran a spell checker (the one built into Firefox so boo fucking hoo guess what, that proves that software is shitty and unreliable too).

    Earplugs don't stop ignorant people talking loud on their mobiles. Anyway, expect more air rage when they permit mobile use in flight especially on long haul when people want to sleep. I already use my mobile jammer in many places, people blame the phone network usually. People are ignorant. In a plane they will blame the air network, people are ignorant and not techno geeks like us. Again, proving it is very difficult unless you are tech savay.

    Yes, they want that, Windows will just be a service enabler, like the iPod (itunes service) etc. They already have that as part of their package for their microsoft care, even want to remove administrator from their own developers in house and have their "ITG" remotely administer it. Vista enables more of this via more control from the Domain Policies.

    Yes, I know what it is. It is god damn fugly to use. Of course if you know the resulting type from your LINQ query you can use that. I just hate all the syntactic suger they are adding to C# and on the other hand they dump C omega which solved a lot of the parallelism problems by abstraction at the language level.

    MSFT had C Omega, what did they do, crapify it into a .Net library to use via C# which is not the best library to use in a parallel world. C Omega was nice and abstracted a lot of the parallelism but no they canned that project. Look at LINQ, they crapified C# with VARIANT types and EXTENSIONS. Totally Crapping on OOP.
