You can't filter this at the network level within the machine either, as the kernel sends this information and ignores proxy, hosts file, and firewall settings to get the information out if it fails while using the user settings. If you want to block this information from being sent, then you need to do something like configure a firewall setting in your router.
This part isn't true. Currently you can block all this traffic with Windows Firewall. You can't use hosts file blocking though because a lot of it uses hard-coded IP addresses. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, APK!
If as a society the chinese dont want porn, why cant they make that choice? The US sure had issues with porn back in the day, and continue to do so with many other types of porn.
(I'm posting this from Shanghai, using a Chinese internet connection without a VPN, so I hopefully have half a clue about what I'm talking about.) China as a society doesn't seem to have a problem with porn. It isn't generally on display, but you can ask for "huang DVD" at plenty of shops and be shown a selection of skin flicks. Every night someone comes through this hotel and slips business cards advertising escort services under everyone's doors. Relatively few web sites are actually blocked, I mean 4chan with its rampant porn, gore, hate and conspiracy theories is fully accessible for fuck's sake. It's nowhere near as restricted as westerners seem to imagine.
Best thing about Chinese internet access is all the fucking Google trackers are blocked without the need for browser extensions. It's annoying if you're accessing a site that loads jQuery from the Google APIs server as you might have to wait for the request to time out before it will display. Seriously though, why do people even do this? Is it really that hard to host jQuery yourself?
I kinda do have to boot from my SAS controller - that's how my disks are attached. But even if you aren't booting from them, you need to wait for them. Each of these cards has an embedded computer on it and you have to wait for that to be booted and configured before you can get into a state where you're ready to let an OS loose on the host machine.
He obviously has no option ROMs. I have to wait through the LSI SAS controller, Chelsio NIC, Intel management engine and Broadcom network boot option ROMs booting and displaying their messages before my workstation can start loading an OS.
You've gotta be kidding. My parents live in Coomoora, i.e. middle of nowhere in central Victoria, and they get 12Mbps service from Internode. I get 20Mbps in Flemington (Melbourne) and similar in Elizabeth Bay (Sydney). Is it really that bad everywhere I don't go?
As a frequent flyer, I'd much rather fly on an Airbus or a 777 than a 747. The 747 is noisy, it vibrates, and it's just generally unrefined. Sure it was an impressive plane several decades ago, when the competition was trijets like the DC10, but the world has moved on. In a way I'll still be kinda sad to see an icon of 20th century aviation go. It's also a far more elegant-looking on the outside than the A380. The A380 is pretty ugly front-on, but the 747 has nice lines.
Mario Kart 8 drops to 30fps for 3- or 4-player (from 60fps in 1- or 2-player). The gameplay doesn't slow down though. "Blast processing" was just Sega bullshit for only checking collisions every few frames. That made it really easy to glitch the Sonic games and get stuck in places that were supposed to be inaccessible.
In my house, gaming is a family thing. My wife and I fire up the Nintendo and have a few games with the kids (or wait until they're asleep and play a game without them). Games that require one console per player just aren't an option. It's nice that Mario Kart 8 even allows two people to play online with one console.
I don't see why this has been modded down. Suspend/resume has worked fine on OSX since 10.1 for me at least. My experience with suspend/resume on Windows has been hit and miss, and I haven't tried in on Linux (I run Linux in VMs and on servers, not on desktops/notebooks). I've heard people complain about suspend/resume on Linux, but the other day I saw a friend of mine having no trouble with suspend/resume with Ubuntu on a Toshiba notebook.
Yeah, I was reading it as though the object would be a job title, as in "Japanese Scientists Fire the Most Powerful CEO On the Planet". Now that would be a real achievement.
Yes, one supported configuration for building MAME is using Clang on Linux. It links against distro-provided, GCC-built libstdc++ and Qt4. It definitely works using Clang 3.4 or later on Fedora 20 or later. I've also successfully built applications with Clang against distro-provided, GCC-built libstdc++, xerces-c and Clang on CentOS 6 and later, and Fedora 20 and later.
There are some issues with experimental C++14 mode in Clang that cause it to choke on some of the libstdc++ headers, but these are real known bugs in Clang to be fixed, and C++14 mode is still considered experimental. Also, at present libc++ is still considered experimental and it's recommended that you use GNU libstdc++ when building with Clang on Linux unless you want to report and deal with bugs.
It's actually amusing. I laughed a few times at the way it parodied dodgy horror movies and fears of homophobes. I mean, come on, they have names like Sgt Shaved Balls and Cpt B. Dick. The representation of oppressive, evil "female creatures" is pretty funny, too.
Gah posting at 4:20AM is a bad idea. I emphasised destination in the second example. To emphasise means of transport: Hikouki de Beijing ni Shanghai kara ikimasu. Just put the aspect you want to emphasise (and it's associated particle) first. The only part that absolutely must be in a certain place in the sentence is the verb that comes last.
That sentence doesn't require multiple verb clauses in Japanese. You can use destination, origin and means particles "ni", "kara" and "de": Watashi wa Shanghai kara Beijing ni hikouki de ikimasu. Since it's a single verb clause you can reorder it however you want for emphasis as long as the verb comes last - the way I have it there emphasises the subject. If you want to emphasise means of travel and use implicit speaker-as-subject, you can say: Beijing ni Shanghai kara hikouki de ikimasu. It's all easy as long as you get your particles right.
No it isn't. There's something else at work. I've had almost no comments downmodded in years, I get upmodded regularly, I real Slashdot every day, yet I haven't got mod points in a year or so. I have no idea why, I used to get mod points occasionally. But it's stopped completely now.
Dell iDRAC doesn't depend on the Java browser plugin, it uses a Java Web Start application. But assuming you mean you want to get rid of the Java requirement altogether, rather than just the browser plugin, how do you suggest doing that? How would you make an OS-agnostic remote keyboard/mouse/video/storage client? The storage part is very important, we need to be able to mount virtual media to install operating systems and perform firmware upgrades. Java is the shittiest solution to the problem, apart from all the other solutions anyone's tried.
Most rack mount servers have an integrated management controller that lets you access the system over a network connection as though you had a local display/keyboard/mouse/storage. The client is usually a Java Web Start application, Java applet or similar. Hence you need Java to administer servers unless you can physically get to the rack and connect stuff to it.
AS/400 maps all storage (including memory and disks) into a single 128-bit address space. You still end up with a single abstraction for memory and files, approached from a completely different direction.

OSX supports doing that too, since at least 10.3, possibly from 10.2: it's the "Archive and Install" option.

Wut? No-one has 3Mbps DSL in Aus any more, 24Mbps is pretty much universal. NBN is 96Mbps, not 12Mbps. Your politics are way out, too.

Heh, reading through these comments felt like those testimonials at pentecostal churches, "I found Jesus when..."

I think they mean Penis And Vagina Accounting or something.

WTF? I use Clang on Linux and link against the GNU C++ runtime library all the time. It works just fine. Why are you spreading FUD?

Or maybe XOFF then XON (Ctrl-S, Ctrl-Q), although that might not count as keyboard activity.
