Yeah, that's a great idea. All you have to do to get a copy of the blacklist is check every URL on the entire internet twice. I'll get my iPhone started on that!
And what's with the FOI thing? Does Australia have a Freedom of Information Act, or did the submitter just forget that.au is not the same country as.us?
Yet I got an engineering degree. Because I was motivated. In spite of bad teachers, who absolutely would not have been any better if they made more money.
You followed my mocking argument with the exact same argument, and you threw in a bad analogy to boot; but you got modded interesting while I got modded Funny? I think yours is far more humorous!
In fact, there is no such thing as an OS bug! All good programmers should re-implement essential and basic operating system features in their user applications whenever they run into so-called "OS bugs." If you question this, you must be a bad programmer, obviously.
The fact that you think upgradablitiy is an important feature for a server, and that you are very bad at math (68k != 103k/2), makes me again question your judgment, sport.
Why do that when you could just set the TTL on the IP packets? There was a dailyWTF article about the mystery of email that couldn't go farther than 1000 miles; it was eventually discovered that TTL was the reason.
The descriptions you see in synaptic/apt/whatever are actually horrible. If you don't know the name of the package you're looking for, you may not find it at all. They ramble on about what language it is programmed in, or other nonsense, that users don't care about in the least.
It may be the best feature, but it's a severely broken feature.

Steam's DRM certainly is NOT acceptable. I purchased a game, boxed, at Best Buy. When I installed, it would not let me play until I activated it through Steam.
Guess what? Steam's activation server was down for the entire evening! Steam kept me from playing a game I purchased in a retail store! Utterly unacceptable.
It is bad journalism on the part of the slashdot editors to force the readers to google for acronyms. Common, long-standing acronyms, like CPU, are one thing. But GPGPU should absolutely be defined in the summary. I find it hard to believe some people pay money for this site, and that "editors" get paid money for their "editing."
No. Worthless security measures are bad for security because they provide a false sense of security. This influences behavior. So bad "encryption" really can be worse than plain text.
The answer to your question, which is: "does there exist food F such that F tastes good" would be answered "True" so long as "bacon tastes good" is among its fact list. And this would almost certainly be listed. Yum.
Right, so God lied to the Israelites about the "what" and "how" because they wouldn't understand the truth. Just omitting comment on such topics wouldn't have been enough; he had to mislead them. Sounds reasonable.

You know that guy who owns Fox News? Australian.
Media is the most powerful branch of government.

This is why real audio pros only listen to music in the middle of the desert on an windless day.
A2DP Bluetooth never has these problems...
Unless it is a toll road which Microsoft owns completely, there is nothing wrong with using public money to build the road.
Did I read that right? You own three iPods and an iPhone? How can you look at yourself in the mirror?

You can pay teachers all you want, but it wont inspire students to learn and retain knowledge. Only parents/peers/culture can do that.

Sun hardware is for servers, son.
Key exchange is hard.
If we had signed DNS, and DNS started distributing X.509 certificates ("type CERT queries"), then secure email really would hit the mainstream.
What nitwit modded that comment insightful?

Being able to find the package you want is a function. So no, it is not functionally excellent.
The descriptions you see in synaptic/apt/whatever are actually horrible. If you don't know the name of the package you're looking for, you may not find it at all. They ramble on about what language it is programmed in, or other nonsense, that users don't care about in the least.

There is quite a bit of "what" and "how" in the Bible.
