  1. Re:More US warmongering on US Strikes Syrian Base With Over 50 Tomahawk Missiles (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Attacks like this? What do you mean? We once already believed Colin Powell when he frightened everyone in the UN with a test tube with white powder. Do we believe him again?

  2. Re:Do your due dilligence... on The Hostile Email Landscape (liminality.xyz) · · Score: 1

    I ran into the same issue with new TLDs few times. Big players are rather suspicious about such domains. Basically the same story: static IP, properly set up DNS, SPF, DKIM, well-behaved Exim... Also, beware any email generating scripts, like shell/PHP/etc.. As a matter of fact, the heuristics that Google/Yahoo/Microsoft email services use will fine your letter for non-standard headers, which, in conjunction with new TLD, may cause your email to be marked as a spam.

  3. Am I the only one who think these people are sick? on "Exploding Kittens" Blows Up Kickstarter Records · · Score: 1

    Why kitten? Why not human babies? What could be funnier that exploding babies? Those people need a special medical treatment. Isolation would be the first step in right direction.

  4. Re:NetworkManager on NetworkManager 1.0 Released After Ten Years Development · · Score: 1

    Sure about UNIX? It's a Linux tool, not UNIX.

  5. Re:Maybe, but maybe not... on Ukraine Asks Zuckerberg to Discipline Kremlin Facebook Bots · · Score: 1

    That's easy: Pro-Ukrainians should use not Russian language but Ukrainian, so no Russian bot will not ever read the posts. But since their posts are aimed against Pro-Russians, so they are not interested in free speech, they are interested in suppressing the opponents.

  6. Re:Good on them... on New Russian Law To Forbid Storing Russians' Data Outside the Country · · Score: 1

    As for restricting culture, we still have actual people to interact with, so not to worry.

    Not for long -- Russia has made emigration almost illegal, but none of the international press have seen fit to pick up on this.

    Oh, really? You serious?

  7. Pinball, 1973 on Grandmother Buys Old Building In Japan And Finds 55 Classic Arcade Cabinets · · Score: 1

    Murakami should be proud of himself ...

  8. Use Occam's razor on Aliens and the Fermi Paradox · · Score: 2

    Taxes, that's it. The taxes are killing the whole civilizations.

  9. Re:How are nuclear weapons going to help though? on Ukraine May Have To Rearm With Nuclear Weapons Says Ukrainian MP · · Score: 1

    No, it's not 'Putin's thugs', it were the ultra-right-wing (read: nazis) among the current Ukraine's rulers who started the mess. The first thing they did was dismissal of the language law. Do you really believe this fact as well as pro-fashist parties in the government should get applause in Crimea or in Eastern Ukraine?

  10. Re:Illegal. on Network Solutions Opts Customer Into $1,850 Security Service · · Score: 3, Funny

    "But look, you found the notice didn't you?" "Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."

  11. Re:First sandwich on Geeks For Monarchy: The Rise of the Neoreactionaries · · Score: 1

    Hitler was a result of democratic process, wash't he? So democracy by itself can not guarantee that this will not happen again.

  12. Re:Of course, democracy hasn't managed on Geeks For Monarchy: The Rise of the Neoreactionaries · · Score: 1

    Churchill also said that 'The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.'. As to your quote, I bet Churchill was laughing inside, saying this.

  13. Re:wrong target on UK Prime Minister Threatens To Block Further Snowden Revelations · · Score: 0

    USA knew about USSR more than USSR citizens. Well, it is at least fair.

  14. Finally they got it... on Red Cross Wants Consequences For Video-Game Mayhem · · Score: 1

    Looks like video games are the last bastion of evil on the whole Earth. Are ICRC members just boring? Or they have too much money to spend?

  15. Re:Would probably be found on Linus Torvalds Admits He's Been Asked To Insert Backdoor Into Linux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    According to the recent human brain study, facts do not matter. So no wonder people still believe in things like Windows (or open-source) safety and security...

  16. OpenStack is fairly crude at the moment. on VMware CEO: OpenStack Is Not For the Enterprise · · Score: 1

    He's right. OpenStack is far from production, not to speak enterprise. I do not expect it get stable and mature with a year or two. Check out OpenStack mailing lists and bug reports. You can't expect reliability from the six months release cycle software when each new release breaks a significant parts of the previous one. Of course you can use it at your own risk. But it require too many efforts to maintain it. It may be cheaper to use some commercial product, depending on your tasks.

  17. Mostly unknown in the West on Sci-Fi Stories That Predicted the Surveillance State · · Score: 1

    I have another name, Stanislaw Lem, with two his novels, Eden and, to a lesser extent, Observation on the Spot"
    An extract from Eden:
    'An indistinct image emerges of doublers' Orwellian information-controlled civilization that is almost self-regulating, with a special kind of system of government—one that officially does not exist and is thus impossible to destroy. The society is controlled through a fictitious advanced branch of information science Lem dubs procrustics, based on the control and stratification of information flows within the society. It is used for molding groups within a society and ultimately a society as a whole to behave as designed by secret hidden rulers. One example described in the novel is the above mentioned settlement, kind of a "concentration camp" without any guards, designed so that the prisoners stay inside apparently of their own "free" will.'
    Please, note this was written in 1959.
