  1. Right wing = fear? on Political Viewpoints Linked To Fear · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They could startle easier because they're cowards. Or maybe they're just more situationally aware because they're not high.

  2. Get over it on Ubuntu Satanic Edition Banned From Distrowatch · · Score: 1

    Look, the Satanic edition has nothing to do with Satan or real Satanism. It's just skinned with a metalhead Bevis and Butthead style satanism theme. And the guy that runs Distrowatch is perfectly free and within his rights to not add a distro that he doesn't feel like adding, quit your bitching.

  3. You can't jail them@ on Researchers Face Jail Risk For Tor Snooping Study · · Score: 3, Funny

    They did it in the name of SCIENCE!

  4. Kernel Debugger on Linux 2.6.26 Out · · Score: 2, Interesting
    While the debugger is, in fact, remote, it appears that perhaps the Linux Kernal really is JUST NOW getting an actual debugger. From TFA:

    For many years Linux has not included a kernel debugger. Linus Torvalds vetoed them for years, for reasons that he explained quite well in a know email: "When things crash and you fsck and you didn't even get a clue about what went wrong, you get frustrated. Tough. There are two kinds of reactions to that: you start being careful, or you start whining about a kernel debugger [...] I happen to believe that not having a kernel debugger forces people to think about their problem on a different level than with a debugger. I think that without a debugger, you don't get into that mindset where you know how it behaves, and then you fix it from there. Without a debugger, you tend to think about problems another way. You want to understand things on a different _level_." Despite of those objections, many people wanted a debugger and KGDB is finally going in. It's a remote debugger, it needs two machines. x86 and sparc machines are supported
