Re:Good...?

On: Ubuntu To Switch To systemd

From what I've read about systemd it seems like a better system, and it sure helps with the fragmentation situation. Hopefully RH/Canonical can decide on Wayland vs Mir as well..

Not a violation

On: Emacs Has Been Violating the GPL Since 2009

I don't think it is a violation of the GPL before the distributor of the binaries say "No, you can't have it" or fail to deliver within a reasonable timeframe.

On: HP Snaps Up 3PAR For $2 Billion

Yes, I was mainly thinking about the Engenio rebrands, should have clarified that. DS4300/DS4700/DS4800. As you said N is just NetApp.

Re:Why?

On: HP Snaps Up 3PAR For $2 Billion

3PAR makes the best SAN I've ever touched. I use SANs from EMC, HP, IBM and NetApp; 3PAR wins hands down. Only feature I miss is NAS functionality like NetApp.

I think this was a wise move by HP, as long as they are able to keep key personnel in R&D and not fuck things up.

On: Non-Compete Agreement Beyond Term of Employment?

I just ignore signing it for so long that they forget. Works like a charm, every time.

It's UNIX, do what you usually do in Linux

On: Symptoms of Mac OS X Hack?

Reset password via the InstallCD and boot it into normal singleuser. Can't remember the key-combo now, but it should be something like Apple+s.

It seems the propaganda works

On: Rapid Internet Growth In Iran

It frightens me to see how so many people reply with "they are all terrorists" in this thread. Seem the new nazi state propaganda is working a little too well.

Hey, why not burn all books as well!

FTP with TLS support

On: Sending Files w/o Sending Clear Passwords?

If memory serves me right, you can use an FTP-server with TLS support. It encrypts the control-connection and leaves the data-connection unencrypted.

I think this feature is supported by ProFTPD.

John R. Halls book "Programming Linux Games" is now awailable freely on the web. Go to his site for a copy or order it from No Starch Press.

Shock and Awe

On: Major Strike on Iraq Underway

I'm really starting to hate that phrase.

CNN should implement a karma system for their reporters:

- Overused phrases (-1 Troll)
- Actual real new info (+1 Informative)

Be free to come up with better ideas. :-)

Damn, I was wondering why that was starting to get slow..

Mirror of Blender

On: NaN Closes Shop, The End of Blender?

I'm mirroring the files on ftp://ftp.stenstad.net/mirrors/ftp.blender.nl/ now, as ftp.blender.nl seems down..

Teach them a lesson

On: BT Pushing Hyperlink Patent

Don't mess with other ISPs. Depeer them. Most peering contracts allows ISPs to depeer without reason.

That'll teach them a lesson.
