  1. Re:Why would you want this? on Object Storage and POSIX Should Merge · · Score: 1

    HTTP has range-headers for both PUT and GET requests so if only services like S3 would use those standard headers POSIX style FS access would be more than possible.

  2. Re:A Common Tactic on Former Russian Troll Wins Lawsuit Against Propaganda "Factory" · · Score: 2

    Agreed, I have actually found employment ads about that kind of work in election years.

  3. Re:But google said... on Lightning Wipes Storage Disks At Google Data Center · · Score: 1

    Exactly, I've had Amazon take down EC2 instances and then all data stored there went to /dev/null so if the data is important you have to do backup. That people are shocked about that is very strange.

    That article is not about the Google Compute Cloud though.

    It's IE6 and WinXP, neither which ever could be seen as not broke.

    The bare minimum is still support.

  7. Re:Moon Zero? on Mars One CEO Insists, Our Mars Colonization Plan Is Feasible · · Score: 1

    I think the main problem with that is "where is the fun in that". It will probably be a lot easier to get funds and people on a mission to the Moon or Mars that to set up a test base on Antarctica. It's not as sexy.

  8. Re:So what exactly is included? on Microsoft Releases Windows 10 IoT Core For Small, Embedded Devices · · Score: 0

    It includes Microsoft, that might well tip the scale for many PHB:s

  9. Re:I agree with the shooter on Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone · · Score: 1

    The discussion is not about "airspace" as such but about protected airspace. I.e when it can be seen as intruding on your property or not. The TS claim was that the drone was allowed to intrude on the man's property due to it flying in "airspace".

  10. Re:Seriously reporters, just give up on foreign wo on Munich Planning Highway System For Cyclists · · Score: 1

    It's Cykelslangen and not Cykels Langen. Cykel is bike and Slange is snake so it's the Bicycle Snake (due to how the road wriggles around). Other than that you are dead on, the pronunciation from Wired.com is completely wrong.

    Well, go ahead and fly your Chessna at head-level over somebodies backyard while they stand there and see if you violate any laws...

  12. Re:I agree with the shooter on Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone · · Score: 1

    If it's hovering around your head it's clearly no longer an airspace as defined by the FAA on where aeroplanes can fly without intruding on your property rights.

  13. Re:I agree with the shooter on Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone · · Score: 1

    According to TFA it was flying well below any level ever though of as "airspace"

    No it never did

  15. Re:One word on What the GNOME Desktop Gets Right and KDE Gets Wrong · · Score: 1

    How else could NM update /etc/resolv.conf with the nameservers provided by the DHCP server? If you need static data in resolv.conf while using NM then add these in NM and they will be added to resolv.conf.

    That is not what he said, he said that his backup was on a RAID6 not that he used RAID6 as a backup!

  17. Re:Yes I'm old.. on What the GNOME Desktop Gets Right and KDE Gets Wrong · · Score: 1

    Better yet look at what they did to Gnome Terminal in 3.14, the tabs are not centered instead of left aligned which makes it hard to actually see how many tabs you have opened at the same time. And which tab is the active one is completely impossible to see visually.

  18. Re:Modern Crypt Backdoored on The Rise of the New Crypto War · · Score: 1

    No, because the key length of DES was public and thus people had no problem understanding what kind of effort and costs it would take to break it by using brute force. Once it was felt that that threshold was near, 3DES was strapped together and that one is still not reachable by any brute force machine the NSA has now or in the foreseeable future.

  19. I know it's the answer to "should I run WIndows on my servers?" but how in hell do you find that as an acronym for Microsoft?

  20. Re:Why do I get the funny feeling that on Microsoft Thanked For Its "Significant Financial Donation" To OpenBSD Foundation · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't go so far as call it a killer feature but SSH support on Windows is a welcoming feature indeed. Hopefully they will also some day throw out their power shell and replace it with BASH, that would be the day!

    So their employers donated that money then.

  22. Re: Systemd on Linux 4.2-rc1 Is One of the Largest Kernel Releases of Recent Times · · Score: 1

    That is not the same thing as "the developers are not listening to people", it's simply the open questions from the code reviewers that needs to be addressed if kdbus will have a chance of being included. I.e business as usual.

    And of course the devs are hell-bent to get it included, when was the last time that you wrote kernel code without caring if it would be included or not?

    systemd is not in the kernel, it's part of userspace.

    What didn't they listen to? AFAIK Linus will not merge kdbus if that where the case.

  25. Re:Idiocy. Anyone have facebook photos? on MasterCard To Approve Online Payments Using Your Selfies · · Score: 1

    And the chance of that being implemented correctly is what, 1%? Now obviously MasterCard probably is better at this than random app-devloper considering that they have to pay the people whose cards are hacked, but since it's a closed app we only can speculate.
