I read h-online on a regular basis and will miss it. Always read the What's new in Kernel *.* features for example.
A give-away that the site didn't have high readership was the very low number of comments added to the articles - often none and sometimes might get as high 3 or 4.
No it doesn't. There are green lines for Frodo & Bilbo and a yellow line for the Ringbearer which functions as an overlay. At the start it overlays Bilbo's line, then moves to Frodo's line. At points it overlays Sam & Gollum for short periods.
Why do we assume that the dangerous aliens developed the tech?
What if instead the galaxy is full of intelligent species and an advanced ethical species spread its technology to less ethical intelligent species without consideration of what would be done with that tech? What if that less ethical or more primitive species simply stole the tech?
Think of our own history where advanced European tech such as guns was rapidly absorbed by hunter-gatherer tribes. They couldn't make them but they could use them.
Imagine what we might do if tomorrow we obtained a fleet of FTL ships. Would we act ethically or go hunting for other planets to colonise? With certainty some of us would go marauding.
Okay in the datacentre I worked at in Sheffield, England, the story goes that
of the three halls number one was haunted. Many ops reported catching
glimpses of someone or something moving between boxes. Some refused to enter
hall one alone at night.
The explanation given is that it is a dead coal miner from the old tunnels
that lie underneath large parts of the city and that the building actually
covers a former entrance.
The fact that the 'experiences' are reported by night shift workers
struggling to stay awake at 4 or 5 in the morning is my explanation but those
who think they saw something don't accept it.
As someone looking to purchase a P11 400 or 450 anyday now the idea of it coming ready loaded with linux is not one of my requirements. Basically I am looking forward to getting a new box, creating new partitions and installing the OS exactly as I want it and under my own control. Granted I know what I am doing and that install-your-own-os is not really an option for all the tens of millions of new-users expected over the next few years but still it isn't as much fun is it?

No surprise about tcpd (aka Wietse Venema's TCP wrapper utilities) which has not been updated since its last release in 1997.
It should just be removed from all Linux distributions just as Arch did in 2011: https://www.archlinux.org/news...
Use something, anything else rather than this practically stone age software.

Can we get rid before weekend please?
I am on night shift Saturday and what should be a twelve hour shift becomes a thirteen hour shift.
Joy.
Course in past years I have worked the Spring clock change and you didn't hear me complain then about only having to work an eleven shift.
By taking the product of the shelf yourself and taking it to the checkout you are already doing part of what was once the company's task.
Buying from Amazon means you are updating their information system for free.

That's not quite true. It reports on the best sweets available. Chocalates, ice creams etc. Just the thing to read at the weekend.
Why does the universal translator work for every language encountered but not work for Klingon?
the last thing we need are a buncha guys and girls with rotating infinite IP addresses writing infectious looping perl scripts to bombard our system.
Who would have thought that Perl's dangerous, and apparently unique, ability to loop could prove so threatening.
And here's a better one: Manchester United
