  1. Re: Gender agreement in writing on Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org) · · Score: 1

    We're adding kernel contributed bios in the documentation now? Having to use a personal pronoun in a technical doc is incredibly rare.

  2. Re: Am I missing something? on Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org) · · Score: 1

    The triplets are outliers. Statistically insignificant. Something you'd dismiss when you take a weighted average.

  3. Re:The death of Linux on Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org) · · Score: 1

    With baited breath I await the first pull requests that removes offensive words like "master" and "slave". And then the incredible outage that occurs because disks don't work anymore.

  4. Re:Code of Conduct - Exact Text on Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org) · · Score: 0

    If I had mod points, I would upvote the crap out of this.

    Not all of us, bub. I'll be somewhere grabbing popcorn and switching systems to OpenBSD or something. The snowflakes haven't infected that project yet.

    I bet they assume you can do it by using a crap-ton of unicode emojis. Or something.

    I'm looking forward to the shit-slinging on the mailinglists because someone made a comment that hurt some fee-fees. But yes. I'm of the same mind as my compilers and interpreters. They don't care. Neither do I.

    Or, grow a skin and fix your damn code.

    Decisions, decisions. Protect fragile ego's from entitled children and get nothing done, or state things like they are and/or come off as a jerk in the process, while getting shit fixed... I'll take the latter.

  10. Re:Am I missing something? on Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org) · · Score: 1

    Both things are irrelevant. Compilers really don't care. Neither does hardware.

    No clue. But they could have cut out complete swaths of text just by stating "We don't care what you are, what you do, or what your opinions are. Just show us the code. If it's good, we'll take it. If it's not, we'll see what we can salvage". All this fluffy bullshit is just that. Fluffy bullshit.

  14. Re:Oh thank god on Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Patch rejected because the use of pointers is offensive. Pointing is rude, you know?

    Here's a nickel. Go buy a real domain.

  16. Re:Linux client? Please? on VMware vSphere 5 Released · · Score: 1

    Then you move the problem remotely. It would still be more efficient to run a native client over a VPN. Now you are doing a RDP session over a slow VPN in which you are doing another remote session in vSphere. They have clients for Mac OS X. Why do they leave out Linux? Or any other *nix variant for that matter? If they have any love for the community, they would port their client over, or give us very detailed protocol specs (or an API, for that matter), so we can write our own client.

  17. Re:Linux client? Please? on VMware vSphere 5 Released · · Score: 1

    That sucks. I would rather have a native client. Running a VM on your local box just to run vSphere is what I find a bit excessive. The vSphere is in .NET, it shouldn't be that hard to port that over to Mono or something...

  18. Linux client? Please? on VMware vSphere 5 Released · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when they have a working vSphere client for Linux.

  19. Ubuntu! on Ask Slashdot: Easiest Linux Distro For a Newbie · · Score: 1

    Like others said, just go for Ubuntu. Easy to find, easy to install, and with WUBI easy to roll back from if the Ubuntu experience didn't convince her. If your mom doesn't like Unity, you can use the default gnome desktop (not gnome-shell) that it still ships with, or just avoid the issue alltogether and go for the other *buntu flavours. And yes, I hear good things about Mint too, because of the whole community driven software center they have had even before Ubuntu had it.

  20. They are forgetting something... on Hackers Bringing Telnet Back · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seeing traffic on port 23 does not mean telnet is involved. I know some people who run their SSH daemon on that port to lessen the stupid ssh scans.
