    I know you're being sarcastic but I think we've gone way to far with thinking about the childeren. In the end thinking about the childeren most of the times means: Hi, I am a important fellow who can change rules and I believe in God X. God X doesn't like this content so you shouldn't either. I am 30 years old if I want to play virtual rape, than that is probably distastefull but I ain't hurting anyone... Protecting the childeren is done by parents. Not by goverments. At least not as long they send other kids to poor schools in fancy suits trying to get them to sign up to become an officially trained murderer. (no troll intended btw to all army-personal)

  8. I don't think the fellow has a point... on Opera Unite is a Hail Mary · · Score: 1

    It is true, I am a fanboy, Opera is my browser of choice for many years now. It had tabbed browsing before Firefox had it's potty training, it had a torrentclient (which i hate and disable) before Chuck Norris had a torrent client, it passed the acid test before it was known you could get high on that stuf... They had an actually mouse-gesture driven interface that worked before we knew how to grow on ears on mouses... And even today it's the only implementation of those gestures I know that actually enricht the experience... Sure, opera isn't that big on in numbers on the PC stats, but remember, there are quite some big sites that work perfect in opera once you set browserrecognition to IE of FF. But in the mobile world and on the pc Opera is where the new stuf has been happening and implemented the last 6 years. Truth to be told, I'm not to fund of that whole webserver in your browser idea, but I would not call it a 'last attempt'to survive...

    I gave you two: A) due too America's funny way of Free Speech there is no .xxx B) why give one nation only (the most warmongering nation in the last century) a cart blance to the most important infrastructure of the world? It's a recipe for disaster. I will give you another one C) there is a law states that all packages send thru America are property of the USA and can be tapped, altered, whatever they want... Do you really want your DNS information in their hands too their exclusive use? I'm a European and I will tell you that I do not trust any USA-goverment with that very personal data. There is absolutely not 1 single reason why the USA would have to have this kind of power. But please, if you can think of a good one, that is best for the world and not for just the USA I invite you to share that reason. I'm always willing to learn something new. I tried to say that in a polite manner in my previous post.

  12. DNS Should be in everyones hands on An Argument For Leaving DNS Control In US Hands · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just google the .xxx extension and why we don't have it yet. Seriously and I know this will offend some people, but the internet and the DNS is of too much importance to be in the hands of 1 party. What if the USA goes berserk, something that from an European point of view is totally possible, and they pull the plug? They should not have this power in the first place.

    I wonder if this really is a good thing. Personally I don't like seeing things that I can not see reproducing on their own. I'm pretty sure this technology will work more against us instead of for us at one point. Although that 3d printer that can print its own parts is pretty cool.

  20. Re:Linux... on FBI, US Marshals Hit By Virus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't get me wrong, I love linux, Debian-fanboy for many a year. Everyday I have to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to keep my system secure. Not everyday it is a possible remote exploit, but there is always some security related bug to fix. Linux may have a better implementation to keep those risks from escalating quickly compared to windows, but I would not run nation-critical apps on it. Not at this point in time. I would look at Openbsd. And saying that, I noticed a lot of comments about openssh lately on fulldisclosure... And another major factor is economics. MS won't take to kindly to people switching on them. And that really is something to take with you when deciding to switch. There is a lot on stake. And there is a lot to lobby for. Linux doesn't lobby, openbsd even less. I don't see Theo explaining to them why they should switch to openbsd and if he did... they would probably tazer the crap out of him. Opensource and especially OpenBSD has a lot going for it when it comes to security, but there is nobody out there who really understands,that you need a lobby to make it happen. And goverments need things like 'support'... Ever asked a question on the openbsd-mailinglist? Without being flamed?

    Like the lexmarkprinter. I bought one, ignorant as I was since my printers always worked on Debian (long time debian-fanboy here)... Now this was an el cheapo lexmark, but I needed to print and really I don't care who writes the drivers just as long when I plug the printer in, it starts printing... Also: ALSA one day I reboot, it works. Another day I reboot and for some weird reason I have to force-reload ALSA. Personally I put up with it cause of the other advantages Debian offers me, but is really putting up with.. Not a good thing. I can't sell that my parents. They want it to work. Out of the box. This is also a reason I am considering the switch to BSD, but there I would mis my precious Flash 10 to much.
