    Well, I think you defined democracy pretty clearly so I don't see the problem when looking at your statement.

    I don't have enough computers at home to need ipv4 either but that's included.

    Too bad it still doesn't support ipv6 properly. But personally, I love Tomato. I have bought a WRTGL router because of my problems with other routers(very crappy firmware) and tomato runs like a sunshine with options that I didn't even comprehend would benefit me.

    It's simply another case of FLOSS to the rescue.

  7. Re:Criminalise? on The CDA Is Dead, But States Are Trying To Revive It · · Score: 1

    "Capitalism isn't "business rules". It's private ownership of property (and capital in general, hence "capitalism"). How does you being able to own your own land and property have anything to do with what you were bitching about ?"

    Communism isn't "the Party rules". It's the idea that property should be common in stead of private.

    But in reality, communism means "the Party rules" and capitalism means "business rules".

    That's because cello scrotum is made up. Never heard about it and the first time I did, I was told that somebody invented it as a prank.

    Yes, but naming it Ernst Roehm would involve Godwin's Law every time somebody tried to discuss the craft.

    You can't eat information nor does it bandage you. But yes, I share your opinion that information is paramount to winning a war. You need to be able to collect, filter, spread, distort and destroy information properly in order to win a war. That, and have a big ass army :)

    Two possibilities:

    - The things mounted on the head of a rabbit to increase its ability to hear
    - The antennas you put on your television to recieve analog(digital possible?) television signals.

    In some countries this was widespread, others had antennas put up on top of the roofs.

  20. Re:Misleading summary on MS To Offer Free Windows 7 Upgrade To Vista Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's ok. I have a PC here stuck with Vista and I'm sure it will welcome Windows 7 pirated edition.

    P.S: I would like to commend the people who made XP Pirated Edition, you are the best. I had to install XP on a PC of somebody who messed up his previous installation and XP kept on wining about SATA drivers(which I didn't have). Luckily, PE had a great version without any CD-key crap or driver mayhem. It's rather sad that the best Windows versions are made by pirates.

    The french tried it. It failed.

    The days(fixed) in a year(fixed) are not divisible by 10 so there were days without a month. Furthermore it increases the number of days in each week and it changed the definition of the hour(10 each day) the minute(100 each hour) and the second(100 each minute).

    All in all, it was a mess. Not designed with nature as a guideline(like pretty much all other calendars) but with the number 10, a number based on the fingers on our hands.

  24. Re:SuSE Ruled... on A Trip Down Distro Memory Lane · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One shortcoming: YaST.

    It's dogslow and doesn't have the easy of aptitude.

    I was trying to install some pieces of software a couple of years ago on SUSE(which was my first *ux distro) and I was going down the lane of installing tens of packagedepencies for one piece of software. Eventually a friend convinced me to use Ubuntu. I was sold the minute I understood the apt-get command.

    Even if Ubuntu had it own shortcomings(still a lot of textfile configuration editing) it still worked decently. And with the leaps Ubuntu is making in the usability field, I can probably stay with it for a very long time.
