  1. READ ONLY on Thunderbolt Rootkit Vector · · Score: 1

    You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it does....

  2. Re:*sips pabst* on Ars: Final Hobbit Movie Is 'Soulless End' To 'Flawed' Trilogy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's actually a tragedy and missed opportunity, that Jackson has so little talent as a director, and so little discipline in telling a story.

    I was appalled by how little he regarded the audience - and proportionally insulted his actors - in "Desolation". Huge musical cues 'instructing' the audience of the drama or character development that was supposed to be on screen, at all times. This seems to be because he cannot elicit real performances from his actors.

    I might muse that this is because to Jackson, they are not actors - but merely the armatures on which he templates his green-screen composited glory... But to assume that this is the root of his deficiency, rather than another symptom of of his artlessness, would be to succumb to curmudgeonly urges.

    The lesson to be taken away is that Jackson should be designing games, not ruining popular cinema.

    It appears that - despite the contempt it provoked in my teenaged self - Rankin and Bass actually produced the best ever adaptation of Tolkien, with the greatest respect and truth towards the source text in feel and substance. Perhaps, when we have destroyed the concept of copyright as a tool of corporate greed, another - more thoughtful - filmmaker might use this as a point of departure for a loving and well-crafted "Hobbit".

  3. Re:what's wrong with ifconfig? on NetworkManager 1.0 Released After Ten Years Development · · Score: 1

    Really, why do we need anything more than ifconfig and ethtool?

    The wireless tools complicate everything. Otherwise? Yes. I'd just edit the interface descriptions in /etc/network/interfaces ...

    Microsoft used to give all customer facing employees 5 of these, too. Ingratiating.

  7. Re:DOCUMENTS? on Sony Demands Press Destroy Leaked Documents · · Score: 1

    >The documents DEMAND that the the press DESTROY SONY!

    Is this a joke that whooshed over my head, or are you hopped up on something? I'm thinking it's probably the former.

    Information wants to be free. Sony demands. Anthropomorphism requires.

    Q: If entropy is increasing, where is it coming from?

    Strainers are like baskets - I aren't they all receptacles with leaks?

    Actually I know shit all about "Docker" and haven't bothered to understand "application virtualization" or how it differs from "server virtualization". Let's not get to docker as a specific app virt with defined constraints and capabilities.

    Hey! Let me add this piece of non-information, related to my opening statement: "colander".

  15. Re:I'll pass... on Interviews: Ask Florian Mueller About Software Patents and Copyrights · · Score: 1

    This post, complete with anti-gay slurs, is a typical example of the "sickness" that Lennart recently spoke about among those in the FOSS community. Absolutely disgusting.

    Contextualize the observation you make, with the homo-erotic Bowie lyric in the sig. Now? Go meta, pea-brain.

    Ask Florian if he is a bigger dick-sucker than Daniel Domscheit-Berg, another famous disinformation agent of recent times.

    Let's leave out the question of Lennart Poettering. The question of dick-suckage would disappear into its own event-horizon.
