  1. Re:Soviet tradtions on Russia's Former KGB Invests In Political Propaganda Spambots · · Score: 1

    If you want to fight for the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat, you should understand that revolutions eat their own, and you will not be safe [harvard.edu] no matter which party faction you are in.

    There is no other way, Trotsky, a psychopath with ambitions unmatched with Soviet potential, was "eaten" by a pragmatist in the face of Stalin. Same thing happened after French revolution. Revolutions don't eat their own, revolutionaries with destructive tendencies are discarded by constructive elements.

    Do not confuse the label of propaganda as necessarily being the same as untrue.

    Any decent propaganda is factual truth presented in suitable context of choice.

    So you're saying that the US government intentionally released the HIV virus into the wild? That's quite an assertion.

    Yeah, that's quite an assertion, because that is your straw-man and not what I'm saying. The Washington Post article is propaganda because it uses something true to create a false story to rally against USSR. There are a ton of off-the-wall opinion ed columns published in all newspapers, doesn't mean anything. Unless you make a bunch of scary questions about your straw-man for the rest of your post.

    Oh okey. And the only time no one should be concerned is when Russia doesn't want to assert any of it's interests, pays reparations, gives everyone resources for free and decreases it's population to zero. That would still probably not get you to stop spamming this capitalist propaganda crap.

    I understand how you feel right now, I was in the same spot some years ago. What you are used to, is that your file system tree is your navigational tree. Yes, you can keep doing that, having your web server execute various .py files in your filesystem, and import your common modules. However, the reason this is not common in python, is because it's actually not the optimal way to have your address/navigation work. There is no reason your code files need to be arranged according to your navigation. What is standard in python, is what Drupal and almost all php CMSs do, that is, you have a single application, and it parses and handles the URI as it pleases. What I would recommend, is start with this: http://webpy.org/ it is very easy to install. If you have a complicated app, you should try Django framework. Another thing about python, you are not expected to be writing your website from scratch, as you'd be recreating a lot of crud written many times over already.

Do you know exactly why you need to change oil when they tell you to, and does it make you mad if a mechanic doesn't want to explain why? This is why we have Computer Science, it is smart people figuring out what you should do, so you don't have to. If you really want to understand all the reasons why you should use 'continue 2', you need to find a CS professor, and pay for a class.

Obviously the point of the message is that the internet or isolated websites are not responsible for what they are "used" for, or how much.

  13. Re:PostgreSQL with PostGIS on Ask Slashdot: Open Source vs Proprietary GIS Solution? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    PostGIS and other GIS software probably benefits from OSS collaboration more than other traditional software categories, because they are part of a scientific collaboration. This means there are packages like Mapnik, GeoServer, GeoNode, etc, etc, that are build to work together in an ecosystem. And this ecosystem is larger than any closed system by it's nature. So, nothing can really compete with OSS GIS stack, and especially in the long term, and nothing really is meant to compete with PostGIS, just compliment it in the OSS world :)

  17. Re:Cygwin on SUA Deprecated In Windows 8? · · Score: 1

    Because it's a native subsystem on top of NT kernel as opposed to a windows subsystem dll. This means many things, but first and foremost, integration and access. The filesystem is presented perfectly, all the groups, users, environment, services are presented directly and in a true POSIX way. You get real sudo, real unix paths (/dev/fs/C/), case sensitivity, sticky bits, etc. Secondly, performance. I have installed and compiled applications for SUA, including apache, and it performs at native speed level. Lastly, you get a decent package manager. It also has a package manager. The only downside compared to the ugly hack of a Cygwin, is lack of packages. Anyway, you might not see the value in this native posix subsystem compared to Cygwin, but it exists for those who do, and it's sad that it won't be there.

    How can there be a dictatorship of the proletariat if the dictator isn't a proletarian?

    By the way of cause and effect, genius. Lenin was a dictator, as far as implementing the reforms for the benefit of the proletariat. If and where he were not, like Trotsky, he would be out of the picture. The way leaders rose up in Soviet Union is almost exclusively through factories and other manufacturing elections and performance and ideological criteria established by Bolsheviks.
