But that is also very incomplete instructions. More of an overview. So what timers are you talking about? Give me model numbers for the solenoids, a wiring chart. Actually do the math on the timer delays. You do know that you have to be really close to a 14% gas to air mixture or it's going to fizzle.
Now add a whop-load of hate speech and incitement to assassin. Stir until you reach religious fervor.
But then, it's still Geeknet's call. It's their pipe and servers.
Back over 10 years ago I worked at a porn hosting company, a big one. It was adult content only.
If a customer posted a picture of someone under 18, even fully clothed, we would shut the site down. Period. No refund. Was it illegal to post a picture of a minor in a non-sexual context? No, but we would not allow it on our servers because of the context of our business. Our servers and network, our call.
If the image of the minor was in a sexual context then hard-drives were pulled and put in the company lawyers safe and the FBI called.
TFA: Sources close to the investigation say that included in those materials were the names of American citizens targeted for assassination by al-Qaeda. Messages from Osama bin Laden and other leaders of the terrorist organization, as well as bomb-making tips, were also allegedly found on the server.
That goes a bit beyond "merely being controversial."

How are hit-lists by foreign terrorists "speak[ing] out against their government"?
And this is why Burst.net is? You don't know how many AUPs I've written nor how many ISPs I've worked for. Or that matter, how many hosts I've pulled down for illegal content.
How did you setup a headless Ubuntu server? Do you not ssh into it? Maybe you mean something different from headless than I do. To me headless means no X client installed and access via ssh or a console server only.
If the FBI came to me and told me one of my hosts had bomb making info on it, I'd shut it down too regardless if it was foreign or domestic host, or just even a p0wn.
I can't see any reason to have that info on a web site. It's not like you're going to make a bigger bomb than the US has. You're just going to get some dumb-ass to blow his hand off.
Same thing I do. Replace with Ubuntu, add the codecs, no-script, ad-block, etc. about 30-40 minutes top. I never get a call back, it just works. I just won't do windows anymore.. and to be honest, if it's not W2K, I'm probably the last person you want tinkering in there. I just don't know that much about it anymore.
I really don't care if you (or the world) use Linux. I'm happy with FreeBSD running headless for most of my applications. I run Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop because it was a quick install and everything just works.
I was just telling you what I, as an old Unix admin, would do if I forgot to sudo or su before editing a config file. I'd be in the shell anyway since I don't use graphic editors. Come to think of it, I my just ^Z out of my editor, do the chmod and then fg back into my editor.
You are comfortable with the Windows way, I'm use to the Unix way. Best you stay with Windows if you don't want to learn basic file operations. And trust me, chmod is a basic file command and you will need to learn it if you ever want to deal with a command line in Unix.
But best just to stick with what you know. I doubt that you want to do the same things with your computers that I want to do with mine. So no fight from me. I don't care if "Linux is ready for the desktop" as I've been running various flavors for *nix on the desktop for decades. YMMV and all that.
Had a chance to work for two weeks next to your Slicehost cages in STL at S&D. (Very loud drives, or just lots of them.) Looks to be a very insightful use of cheap hardware to make a robust system. It will be interesting to look at your released code. Thank you!
Under normal conditions I would agree with you. But do consider if you were a club for over a decade, and helped build that club (I hosted images.slashdot.com for free before it was a commercial site) and then some new hot-head potty mouth came in and started telling you how to behave in your club... I would think that a "get off my lawn" moment would be just the start of it.
I never said I was smarter, but considering the tone of his original post I think he needs to cool down and think a bit before he posts.
When you buy something, it should be yours to do whatever the fuck you want with it. There is no reason that someone else has any right to tell you what you are allowed to do with your possessions.
So I guess that you also have issues with laws against use of fully automatic machine guns.
It's also illegal to use a spark-gap transmitter these days. Hell, I have commercial Motorola radios that I hack but it's still illegal for me to use them on frequencies that I'm not licensed for. But hey, I bought it and should be able to use it as I want.
Your comment is over generalized, immature and selfish.
Ya know, 1999 wasn't all that bad for me. Dot com boom. making big bucks at an internet porn company, got married, had a nice car, nice house... yeah, I'll go back there.

I live on an Indian reservation that has lots of fireworks. The aid crew gets tired of combing the beach for missing fingers.

Why not just open another terminal, sudo chmod on the file to allow you to save it and the chmod it back?
I read all the books, good stuff. I just got really, really tired of the word "escarpment."

That sounds like Good Eats!

Mr.1766306 telling me how to act on slashdot? You posted a stupid comment. I replied. Grow up.
I don't think Motorola is going to come to your house and tell you what you can and can't do with your device.
You've never read the software license for Motorola RSS.

Do you mean control-D?

As much as I think eldavojohn is often the jerk, he's really right on this comment.
I just hope that we can nano-harvest the dumping grounds someday.
Mod this AC up.
Stranger in a Strange Land came out in 1961. Or were you talking about Time Enough for Love?
Some of us think that RAH's social commentary was the clever part of his stories.
