    SSH connections does not seem to be affected at this time.

    Can you find a solution to your problem then?

  5. Change.org for information on Obama Releases National Strategy For Information Sharing · · Score: 1

    An easy, convenient, public and accountable way to ask for info and get a nicely worded "fuck off" in response every time.

    Obama's has been at least as bad on transparency as Dubya since his first presidential campaign ended. I think he was the less-bad choice of the Big Two candidates over the last couple of elections but I don't have the wool over my eyes.

    I once had to log in to a web admin interface from a PDA and couldn't do it, I couldn't remember the password I use all the time because I didn't have a full-size keyboard in front of me.

    My hands knew the password but my brain didn't :-(

    I always say that a supposedly smart person seeking a Mensa membership is like a supposed badass seeking membership to a Club of Recognized Badasses...doesn't sound like something a person confident in their badassitude would do, does it?

    That's not it, mine's excellent too. It could be l33tness, I'm l33t as fuck.

  9. Re:Building is easy, launching is hard on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Build a Microsatellite? · · Score: 2

    To be fair, the "modest fee" is actually $40k, or in Average Joe language "about twice the cost of my car."

    Or to me personally, "about four times the cost of all my cars combined."

    That's why I'd go for a TubeSat instead. Launch costs are within what mere mortals might spend on a hobby at $8kUS.

    Now I can get a big heaping helping of DRM on my Linux box too! Woohoo, just what I always wanted!

    TPB proxies are still available on all major darknets and can't be taken down.

    Oh hell yes sign me up! Light cars with downforce FTW! I'll drive something like an FSAE car to work every day, it'll be so much fun!

    Another libertarian's urban myth. They're always entertaining and creative though, I'll give them that.

    Yep the US mandated them first (how times change!). Most cars sold for other markets didn't get them to the mid or even late '90s. I have a '91 JDM car that didn't come with one while the US version did. I'm swapping in a rebuilt EFI'd engine now and will add a cat next year.

    Another fun fact, a lot of non-US market cars are sold today with *drum brakes.* Bigass heavy modern cars. A guy at my office has some huge Nissan sedan, 2011 model, with little drums in the back. I've even seen them on SUVs like the Vitara.

    Even worse are the monster douchebags with diesel cars and trucks, who remove particulate filters and install "smoke tunes" to make as much black smoke as possible. There's nothing like have a shot of concentrated lung cancer blasted right at my goddamn face. If people want a car that's smelly, noisy and smokey, they should buy an old car instead of fucking up a new one.

    These are the same wastes of meat who turn on everything they own for Earth Day.

    Not sure about gaining any measurable power from an oil change (you might get 1HP going from sludgey cheap oil to new synthetic) but indeed there are many better ways to gain power.

    Exactly, swappable batteries are dumb, especially with cars charging faster and faster. They make sense in motorsports but have no place on street-driven cars. In the future it'll seem like one of those silly ideas that's laughable in retrospect.

    You don't think the Model S is good looking? It's not a sports coupe but it sure isn't ugly. There are plenty of more obscure electrics that aren't ugly either. The mainstream production electrics sure are ugly though, especially the Leaf...what were they thinking. They somehow combined the ugliness of modern jellybean cars and soviet helicopters into one design.

    There's a guy building an electric S2k that's quicker than the Tesla Roadster for less than Vette money so you'll probably get your wish in the next few years. Mind you he's using A123's batteries...

    Data caps are a cash cow for ISPs but ISPs in general are obscenely profitable, they make energy companies look like chumps.

    I know in my country you have to notify the government as well, I wrote a letter to my DMV-equivalent recently, even though the car was not being put back on the road at all. In fact I had to notify them of that as well.
