    say you're recording a fist-fight between two political ideologues on the street, but there's a topless young lady in the background).

    Yeah you really messed up that shot of the topless woman. Terrible framing, out of focus...it's a pity.

    Right now electric power is only practical for the smallest of planes, unfortunately.

    Also what did you use for the shade over the video camera that apparently melted during the boost phase?

    Says in one of the videos it was made of "plastic."

    More like de-streak. This isn't CSI technology come to real life. If you take a picture while moving the camera it will basically retrace the camera's movement to make a better picture of it.

    Difficult question: If I were to, hypothetically, make a joke about outsourcing right now, would that be racist?

  9. Re:Rule 1: on US Government Seizes Email of WikiLeaks Volunteer · · Score: 1

    The problem with colocation or a VPS is that they can get the keys from the box's RAM. If the VPS can't be traced back to you and serves most or all of its services through an .onion site, then you're in the ballpark of fed-proof security...

  10. Re:Rule 1: on US Government Seizes Email of WikiLeaks Volunteer · · Score: 1

    Yeah it's not much more complicated than a traditional chroot. You'd keep an "initial" copy of the server chroot with no personal data in it on disk to be copied to the ramdisk, and then to run the server you'd copy the "initial" data to the ramdisk and start the chroot from there. If the RAM gets cleared then you're back to the initial state.

    Fair share? How about starting with the same percentage the middle class pays and going from there? That's on capital gains and everything, close all the loopholes. Or just roll back to something resembling JFK-era tax brackets, seems like a good idea.

    I've probably eaten less than one McDonald's meal per year over my lifetime. I rarely eat fast food. I do eat a high proportion of various bachelor foods (TV dinner, ramen noodles, etc) but not much of it.

    Yeah you could set up some kind of unlimited league where anything goes, then start setting limits when too many jockeys get killed in high-speed doped-up genetically modified horse crashes. The Formula One of the horse world.

    I highly recommend developing one at least once in your life. It's worth the effort, and anyone can do it.

    What about those of us with potato-bodies who have the easy weight gain + difficult weight loss combo that women at least act like they have, and seem to be incapable of developing any muscle mass?

    Sorry the US was never an anarcho-capitalist country. Try again.

    Also paying your fair share of taxes isn't theft. Especially when that's ill-gotten money obtained through government bribes and bailouts.

    Also, those "filthy commoners" setup the system the whiners are so vehemently complaining about

    Please, the system then was very different from the system now. It could have been updated to match the times, but things took a few nasty turns along the way. For its time it was a radical improvement over other societies.

    I don't get what's wrong with this (ok, the Starbucks thing is kinda funny, their stuff is bloody expensive), what's so wrong with not liking the corporate influence on government while owning corporate products? If a libertarian drives on government roads and drinks government-approved clean water and breathes government-cleaned air while railing against the government on the government-invented Internet using a computer that can communicate wirelessly thanks to government-managed airwaves, does that make him a hypocrite? Maybe he doesn't want those particular things to be affected, or is willing to do without them (good luck).

    It's about damn time. The disparity in wealth and power in the US is staggering, and I know that most don't like it.

    I bet Obama's going to make this an issue in his re-election campaign. If he gets re-elected, hopefully he'll remember it once the election is over...

    Yeah I'm getting an upgrade soon (I'd have had it already, but I was asked if I wanted a laptop (aka take-work-home machine), not if I wanted a faster computer with a newer OS, and I wanted to keep my dual monitors and didn't know the laptop dock had dual outputs), I'll just wait for that.

    I hate Windows Search because it ruins the search UI and hogs system resources in the process of indexing stuff, which is a really big problem on off-the-shelf office PCs with bargain-basement hard drives.
