  1. Rule of tumb on Microsoft To Support SSH In Windows and Contribute To OpenSSH · · Score: 2

  2. Re:Cygwin on Microsoft To Support SSH In Windows and Contribute To OpenSSH · · Score: 1

    You seems like you have been trying to use it, haven't you? Like most open source solutions, you might have to tweak it a bit to get it to do what you want and then again, you have to make compromise. But be assured it works in a satisfactory way for me. Just get a proprietary solution if you can't make it work as you wish. Oh my god, I just realized you sounded like a guy that would choose the later solution ;-)

    I know what you are saying although and there is some truth to it.

    Take care man ;-)

  3. Re:Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes on Microsoft To Support SSH In Windows and Contribute To OpenSSH · · Score: 2

    name of the company: SSH Communications Security

    since they grabbed a lot from open source in the beginning, I guess they allowed openssh to develop an open source version.

    The original SSH version is still proprietary nowadays.

  4. Cygwin on Microsoft To Support SSH In Windows and Contribute To OpenSSH · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You mean I don't need to install Cygwin anymore like I have been doing for the past 15 years to accomplish just that?

  6. Re:nope on Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs To Computerization? · · Score: 1

    Indeed, all jobs are susceptible to computerization. The question should be: which jobs are most likely to get computerized next? It is more a matter of cost vs return on the investment, public perception and in the end profitability.

  7. Re:But I love it when slides are read to me on Why PowerPoint Should Be Banned · · Score: 1

    The problem isn't the software, but how people are using it. Banning Power Point won't fix bad end users....

    End users? I have been asked to make deliverables in power point format where the target audience was high level management that had to approve credits for the project. Well, I guess we can call them end users but it isn't really funny since they are the people who decides how to spend the cash.

    Anyway, i was also asked to keep it as simple as possible; just make it look nice so they approve the credits.

    Exactly, I hate carrying keys around so I keep my setup as free from gadgets as possible. When I go out without using my car, I only carry a ring with 2 keys on it. One for the entrance door, one for my apartment door.

    yep kind of what went through my mind when I read the summary, I was was thinking of that old Star Trek episode where the Voyager probe had evolved into a big super computer and what not and I figured the first hardware running Hurd 1.0 should look just like it.

    Indeed, a pressure of 1 atmosphere ~= the pressure of 34 feet of water.

    Deepest see explorer go down below 5,000 meters.

    16 404 / 34 = 482 atmospheres !

    Even in space, it shouldn't be too hard to build something to stand 1 atmosphere.

    I don't think airplanes are air tight. That could explain why it would be hard to maintain a pressure of 1 atmosphere in one of those when they fly at 35,000 feet ;-)
