  1. Re:Let's kowtow! on Anonymous Warhead Targets US Sentencing Commission · · Score: 1

    FYI: The East German revolutiuon in the 1950s was crushed by the Soviet army. In the 1980s East Germany still was holding on to "Socialism" and one-party-system when the SU already had thrown the old regime overboard.

  2. Re:Major Supplier does not want home based servers on UK ISPs Respond To the Dangers of Using Carrier Grade NAT Instead of IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. If you want a cluster on its own little network, it acts as one machine, so logically to everyone else it should come across as one logical host when routed out. Regardless of IPv6 or not

    If you want a cluster act as one machine then you'll have to load balance it anyway. Either by appliance or software, so what's the deal?

  3. Re:Idiot. on Student Expelled From Montreal College For Finding "Sloppy Coding" · · Score: 1

    Not true. In Quebec, we have the CEGEP system, which is equivalent to the last year of high school and freshman year of university. Dawson is a CEGEP, so Ahmed was almost definitely between 16 and 18.

    WTF? OK, I got used to silly things like 100 being 222 in America because of "Farenheit" and all that Imperial weirdness. But what the heck is CEGEP again, that twenty-year-olds are "between 16 and 18" in Canada?! Can't you be reasonable -using real worlds metrics- at all?

    Yes. But the illegality of that action is completely independent from the site's ToS. ToS just do not belong in criminal law. In fact they are there almost nowhere else in the world.

  13. Re:0.001km = 0.01hm = 1m = 10dm = 100cm = 1000mm on USMA: Going the Extra Kilometer For Metrication · · Score: 1

    Not on a construction sites. On production sites, in factories, labs or workshops, however, yes. Brick and mortar or concrete parts usually have tolerances of a centimeter, so lengthes are indicated as cm and decimal (usually rounded on 5mm) there, for metal constructions milimiters are used. Micrometers and mm/10 or mm/100 are quite common in production, depending on the class of precision of the manufactured product.

  14. Re:Arsehole on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 2

    Couldn't agree more. If you read just the next two mails in the tread you'll find that Linus explains quite cleary what exactly pissed him off enough to get engaged at all. It clearly was the inacceptable fact that the guy who screwed it up answered his fellows' mail, describing the bug in a completely couterproductive way blaming him and generally denying having made a mistake. Instead of just fixing his own shit -or even taking a look at it- he was acting like the primadonna. Nothing is more poisonous for a project than this sort of arrogant and ignorant behaviour. He really had it coming and hopefully learned something about self-reflection. In the end he'd be way better off than just getting fired and never told why as it's common practice where HR droids are involved.

  17. Re:tempfix on Popular Wordpress Plugin Leaves Sensitive Data In the Open · · Score: 2

    You don't even need to do that. Let wp-supercache set up the rules for mod_rewrite as they are intended (or get your hoster to let you do so by p.e. installing mod_rewrite) and anyone trying to browse your plugin, includes or cache directory will get a nice 403 as a response. If that doesn't work your host or site is not really set up to run dynamic content. There's a little bit more to useful hosting than just installing PHP, Apache and MySQL...

  18. Re:Best Place To Live On Earth, Indeed on European Data Retention Rule Could Violate Fundamental EU Law · · Score: 2

    It's not the government putting the european data retention directive in question. They are the same jerks as any gov. It's the constitutional court who do their job which is basically protecting the constitution from the bullshit the gov (or the EU) might come up with.

  19. Re:Coercion on How Websites Know Your Email Address the First Time You Visit · · Score: 1

    My relatively-lower concern regarding the practices of businesses is that I can understand and predict their motivation—to extract profit from me. With the government, they are not satisfied with merely obtaining money, they also want control over the lives of their population.

    Using its "monopoly" the state primarily grants the major part of control over your life to yourself. While I share your concern that the state still is trying to keep a lot too much of it by itself, I do not trust companies a bit more. They won't let you the smallest bit of "control over yourself" if they have the chance to get and monetize it - up to the level of selling your physical extents. Corporations tend to act like dictators if they are allowed to and they have proven that -not only during the age of Manchester-capitalism- wherever they could.

    Funny argument, Mr Fogg. I've hardly ever seen anybody use decimal points talking about temperature. It's already very hard to tell the difference bewteen, say, 23C and 25C so 23.5C are mostly considered useless pseudo-precision, unless in a technical process where readings are automated anyway.

    Agreed.

    ATI once made really good graphics cards. After the Nvidia GT that my last workstation came with broke I bought a recent ATI Radeon. It was quite a disappointment.To be honest it was about the worst piece of crappy video hardware I've ever seen- and I've seen Voodoo I (the one you had to install additional to your primary adapter) to III (the one you wouldn't get updated drivers, because they went bankrupt) .

    "Luckily" it broke after 1½ years. I am not going to miss it.

    So what new, shiny features do you expect an e-mail client to provide? Don't fix it, if it's not broken. Thunderbird, Evolution, claws are all fine. The only differences are the way they will archive, sort or filter mail - and more or fewer things not strictly email-related.
