  1. Re:40 year old engine. on Antares Rocket Explodes On Launch · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You forgot to mention that the engines have been re-purposed and upgraded by Aeojet in between. It's not as it they were put on the rocket straight from the Russian warehouse.

  2. Re:Designs from what? on Antares Rocket Explodes On Launch · · Score: 1

    The worst part is that Atlas rocket have had 49 successful launch with the same russian engine design, though newly build RD-180.

  3. Re:OpenBSD is dead on OpenBSD Drops Support For Loadable Kernel Modules · · Score: 1

    OS X is not "based" on FreeBSD. At best, some parts of OS X are at best close relatives of FreeBSD, but the similarity stops there.

  4. Re:Holy crap... on OpenBSD Drops Support For Loadable Kernel Modules · · Score: 0

    The OpenBSD repo is just one big repo, but unlike Linux, OpenBSD devs don't care about the integrity (and bissectability) of the tree between commits.

  5. Re:Don't get all worked up yet on The Airplane of the Future May Not Have Windows · · Score: 1

    I doubt commercial airplanes have the situation awareness to detect a surface-to-air missile before getting hit.

    Because it is transparent to visible light does not mean it is transparent to UV / gamma rays.

    I'll take the window seat.

  8. You get a point, the whole CCoRaF is a mockery of a Bill of Rights.

  9. No, in the CCoRaF, it is said explicitly that it can be bound / restricted by law. cf my post above.

  10. Re:yup! on Days After Shooting, Canada Proposes New Restrictions On and Offline · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here is the first article:

    1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

    Basically, the whole thing is worthless

  11. isn't that what a Constitution is for ?

  12. What about the 10,000 african cases ? on NY Doctor Recently Back From West Africa Tests Positive For Ebola · · Score: 0

    Where are the 10,000 news for all the African ebola cases... or even from the first case in Mali ?

    oh, yeah, that's true, we don't give a shit about them, unless they import the disease in "our" territory

  13. Re:Distasteful stuff, but should not be illegal on Manga Images Depicting Children Lead to Conviction in UK · · Score: 1

    The UK (and most modern "democracy") abuses its people just the same way "totalitarian" regime do, but "our way" is just more subtle, relying not on sheer dominance, but through psychological means, in a way to manufacture consent, in the most despicable way. We are being manipulated, we know we are, but we still continue give the system our consent. North Korean have nothing to lose, and have to be controlled by force. We, however, have so much to lose that we do not have any other choice than continue to give our milk to the system, resistance being futile.

  14. Re:I do not approve of child pornography but on Manga Images Depicting Children Lead to Conviction in UK · · Score: 1

    It is not about "justice", it's about getting moms comfortable enough to vote for you in the next election, ie. bending over while you unzip your pants to fuck them bareback for the next mandate. Once you convince the moms, you got the husbands convinced as well (they wouldn't have their wives mad at them and deny them sex), and you got the kids, which are raised by the moms. CP is just the same as 9/11, terrorist, or whatever the daily boogeyman is.

    By this logic, there is not much difference between UK, Putin's Russia, "communist" China, or even North Korea...

    Because moral and ethics are relative concepts. A family member of mine hates jews and pederasts, but her values are not mine.

    is it ? The thought police is just getting there one item at a time. SJW are as morally corrupt than gun-trafficking gun-control democrat nuts (Obama (via Operation Fast and Furious), Clinton, Senator Lee...), or other "big shots". Individual freedom is their enemy. Covers like Virgin Killer, Nevermind, Blind Faith are just unthinkable today...

    And that's the core of the issue. Linus has better things to do than trying to convince random Red Hat developers he just don't want their crap in his kernel.

  22. Re:Society hypocrisy.... on Torvalds: I Made Community-Building Mistakes With Linux · · Score: 1

    It does, because we are not talking about technical comments, technical comments, as good as they are, are not gut feeling. Gut feeling are of the emotional realm. You can't describe that synthetically.

    Look at the review of Dave from youtube's eevblog, and you will find the same gut telling, and the same swearing, when it comes down to Chinese piece of shit gizmo cheapo crappy gadget he reviews sometimes. We are in the realm of an electric engineer who has spent many years in the field and has developed a quasi-emotional response to shitty design. He gives the same follow-up on technical stuff, but I have nowhere near the experience and knowledge to follow everything he comments on. He might be full of bs, but the emotional response is a key part of the review. Just the same with LInus.

    The world you are praising is a world where everybody has a stick in the arse and is unable to show any emotion, that's not what I want, or praise for. I praise for a world where people SHOW their emotions.

    Current US system is an oligarchy which calls itself a democracy, more hypocrisy along the line. True democracy at the scale of a 300 millions inhabitant country is just bare impossible, AND unsustainable.

    I'm still waiting for a kick-ass "revolution" from Apple... Look at the BSD, the only one having a bit of visibility is OpenBSD, who is ran by a asshole, just like Linux. FreeBSD, the only other significant BSD is ran by the same assholes old-guards. Also, everybody criticize Pottering, but his software is a core of most distros. To be successful, no matter what, you got to assume having to leave cadavers on the road...
