  1. False on Fedora 15 Changes Network Device Naming Scheme · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "However if there are more than one Ethernet ports, a sort of race condition develops at every system boot and the ports may get their names in an arbitrary order"

    Wrong, udev handles this very fine. This is a complicated solution to a non-problem.

  2. Re:The Virtual Fence was always a dumb idea on US Scraps Virtual Fence Along Mexican Border · · Score: 2

    The drug lords will never allow the government to legalize drugs.

  3. Re:Yeah but on French ISP Throttles Direct Download Website · · Score: 1

    Because the french government is watching what you download on P2P.

    They have a country-wide intranet anyway.

  5. Re:Come on Sony! on Sony Files Lawsuit Against PS3 Hacker GeoHot · · Score: 1

    If I were currently cracking a game console, the message I would receive from this news would be: "Don't let them know your true identity."
    I'm pretty sure it can be done with minor hassle in these time of Tor/Freenet times.

  6. Re:WTF on Program Uses GPS To Track Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    The fact that they are monitored 24/7 doesn't mean they are dangerous. Therefore we shouldn't execute them.

    Only God (I'm sure you believe in him) knows who's really dangerous.

    So you reward criminals with a big cuddle with two inoffensive giant living plushies?

  8. Re:Time to start rooting for the Chinese? on NASA Pitches Heavy Lift Vehicle To Congress · · Score: 1

    At this point it's likely North Korea will have moonbases before the USA does.

  9. Re:Nuclear Verne Cannon? on NASA Pitches Heavy Lift Vehicle To Congress · · Score: 1

    the canon proposed isnt project Orion. Project Orion is detonation of multiple small nuclear bombs. The canon is just one big detonation, and probably causing order of magnitude more stress on the cargo.

  10. Re:Frankenstack on NASA Pitches Heavy Lift Vehicle To Congress · · Score: 1

    then maybe the Falcon XX will be renamed Ying XX.

  11. Re:So... on Twitter Fights US Court For WikiLeaks Details · · Score: 1

    Then you are in trouble, as I can foresee you included into 637000 new rape investigations that should occur any day now.

  12. Yeah, but can it simulate on Living Earth Simulator Aims To Simulate Everything · · Score: 0

    ... Linux ?

  13. Re:Let's go for a technical solution. on Electric Cars May Be Made Noisier By Law · · Score: 1

    That sure would be handy for robbers to spot easy victims in a city.

  14. Lawyers.. on Electric Cars May Be Made Noisier By Law · · Score: 1

    ... must be happy. I can see an auto firm suing another because their sound his too similar to their trademarked copyrighted sound.

  15. Re:Good luck with that. on The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Starting P2P-DNS · · Score: 1

    Better make it "child rapist" to offset the sympathy the Pirate Bay Co-Founder must enjoy with public opinion.

  16. Re:I Disagree on Level 3 Shaken Down By Comcast Over Video Streaming · · Score: 1

    Well, then Comcast become responsible when users stumble on ilegals sites, it's no longer an ISP.

  17. Re:At least someone has balls (and common sense) on DDoS Attack On Wikileaks Increasing · · Score: 1

    But then the key of the "insurance file" would be published.

  18. Re:Standard Arms Race on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    The talibans can manufacture AKs. But I doubt they can do rounds with electonics in them.

  19. Re:Mortars. on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 2, Funny

    A light tube... interesting. We could make it so light that one guy could carry it and point it at the enemy. Firing it with a trigger.

  20. Re:Mortars. on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    On on side we have:
    - point laser to wall
    - push "+1meter" button
    - aim and fire.
    total 10s

    On the other side:
    - point mortar, angle so it kinda fly over the target
    - shoot, play a little video game for a handful of seconds. Be a sitting duck while you do it (admitelly, behind cover but...).
    - pray that the mortar steering can get you near enough to the target.
    - boom.

    First choice seems simpler and easier. Also a pilotable mortar round equiped with a video camera probably costs a bunch more than a grenade with just the communication in it.

  21. Re:Later on... on Apple Bans Android Magazine App From App Store · · Score: 1

    So Apple would destroy the hope that "The Apple iPad will same the news industry (1)"? I don't think they will do that... but apparently Android doesn't count.

    That looks like a lot of resources used to get one guy. Will they put a cop in front of each house to check that th EV does get used?

    More companies should do the same, patent everything until the whole thing collapses into a gigantic innovation blackhole.

    Turning Rhino into mutant radioactif behemothes should also help the specie survive poaching.

  25. Re:Requires Experience on Anxiety and IT? · · Score: 1

    same thing here. I don't fucking care if everything goes to hell. I try to do my job well, by experience I can say that the problems are coming from the higher ups who have no clue how to run their IT.
