    Wow, a professor said that. Blimey, they sure do know a lot of secret knowledge up their in university land.

  3. Re:As expected on The Future of ReiserFS · · Score: 1

    I've been arrested 5 times and sucessfully prosecuted twice.

    So my correlation is that arrest doesn't lead to prosecution.

  5. Re:New e-mail infrastructure? on ICANN Grants Temporary Reprieve to Spamhaus · · Score: 1

    So now I need a reason to send email myself?

    Why is that then?

    I ALREADY pay for an internet connection and now you want me to pay EXTRA just so I can send emails using someone else's MTA when the one I have already works as intended because a SPAMMER sued SPAMHAUS.org.

    Wake up sunshine, freedom's calling.

    Yeah, I can't think why we use Firewire to transfer data from our DV cameras into the computer for online editing ready for TV broadcast, it's just so lossy! 25 Mbit/s is just sooooo demanding.

    Stick to what you know sunshine.

    Word 2.0 for DOS was rock solid.

    I can't make a table but I know a bad one when I see it.

  14. Re:Sounds bleak on The Future of NetBSD · · Score: 1

    I don't need to read the articles to know BSD was around before Linux.

    One of the reasons Linux caught on was the pending AT&T court case against BSDi, Linux was free of such perceived encumberances, though subsequently unfounded.

    My ISP still runs a BSDi server, I've got the install disk here on my desk.

  17. Re:How many BSDs do we need? on The Future of NetBSD · · Score: 1

    Have you ever actually run an OpenBSD server?

    I do. The applications lag meaning all that whizzy online help is six months ahead of you.

    All you have to do is use feature X. and Feature X isn't in the OpenBSD distro yet.

    Then there's upgrading to the latest OpenBSD come release day : basically a full re-install.

    For me, OpenBSD is a compromise. I know that once I've installed it I can happily leave it alone without a patchfest every few weeks but I will be behind the curve of the buzz. No great problem but still sometime irritating, though not as irritating as when our managed Linux box in the co-lo got owned :)

    yeah, why did linux have to come along?

  23. Re:USA IS IGNORANT! on The Mystery of Oregon's 'Dead Zone' · · Score: 1

    hmm, that does seem convincing. I got my info from an article when I was researching my response.

    However, the link at the bottom of your Wikipedia page yields this :

    "China, India, and other developing countries were exempt from the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol"

    It is not clear in that article why the past tense is used rather than "are exempt" perhaps the situation has changed.

  24. Re:Confusion About Abbie Hoffman on Steal This Film · · Score: 1

    Documentary is "a view of real life"

    There is no requirement to be unbiased or show both sides, after all, there are as many sides as there are people. Such polarization is a fiction of news broadcasting.
