  1. Re:Why do FOSS library folks hate ABI compatabilit on The True Challenges of Desktop Linux · · Score: 2

    And? At work we simply call a script that sends the project to the build server that builds packages for all the major distributions and architectures as well att published to the appropiate package repository.

  2. Re:Wow on Ask Slashdot: Best *nix Distro For a Dynamic File Server? · · Score: 1

    Basically all distros can be stripped down easily. However you will have most sucess if you install the server version of Ubuntu, CentOs, Red Hat or Debian since the baseinstall there is already very restricted and you would not need to strip it further, just make sure that you disable the desktop in CentOs/RedHat/Debian (no need in Ubuntu since the server is console only as default).

    Instead of a unionfs you should raid the drives but since that seams to be no option(?) then you probably need something like unionfs and documentation for how to set something like that up should be easy to find. I do

    I don't really understand why you find it so difficult to find documentation for what you want, have you even googled once?

  3. Re:Do you need a unified filesystem at all? on Ask Slashdot: Best *nix Distro For a Dynamic File Server? · · Score: 1

    You then probably should ditch that idea right away and instead use a distributed file system on all your servers and simply export that via samba.

    And Ubuntu Server (since we most certainly is not talking about a desktop version here) boots quite fast regardless of version. Well below 15 seconds from the moment BIOS boots grub. Our Ubuntu servers boot in around 4-5 seconds.

    But still, how many out there installs custom compilers and recompile everything with that instead of using the supplied version by the distribution?

    It's actually a very well known methaphor for a real threat. It's the kind of thing that you say when you want to threathen people with violence. Especially if you consider the context. Actually the context is all you should consider when you want to decide if this is a real threat or not.

    Good luck with breaking out when they are applied properly (i.e hog-tied).

  10. Re:No. on Ask Slashdot: Using a Sandbox To Deal With Spambots? · · Score: 1

    I think that the premise is more along the line that the Spambot notices that he's been targeted because he no longer can log into his account.

    Yeah, because methaphors are such a novelty item in America...

    No, because the policeman has the right to shoot you under certain conditions, one of them beeing you not dropping your weapon when told so. The police enjoys a monopoly of violence in most countries.

    I hardly see how a court could come up with such an idea. Copyright does only protect reproduction of the material so you have to distribute it to others in order to infringe. I.e you are allowed within the law to paint a perfect copy of a Picasso and hang it in your house. But you are not allowed to sell it or put it into public display.

    It's not illegal for you to recieve the material, it's illegal for the broadcaster to deliver it to you (or strictly speaking not illegal but breach of contract/copyright infringement). And possibly (but I'm not sure this have ever been tested in court) for the VPN provider to give you the possibility.

    Don't know about the BBC in particular but it is very common here in Europe to show the Olympics live regardless of the time. Then there are of course sumamries and tape delays shown during the normal day time for people who was asleep during the live events.

    Actually (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left%E2%80%93right_politics) the definition have changed over time, is often used differently in the USA vs most of Europe. However since the beginning, Fascism (which is what these parties are) have belong to the right, together with the Coservatives, and one thing that is common among all these we-hate-minorities is that they are extremely conservative.
