  1. Re:source/freedom on GNU and the General Public Employment Contract? · · Score: 1

    A right to free software? You are kidding, right?

    Which ammendment was that?

  2. Re:BGP on Whatever Happened to Internet Redundancy? · · Score: 1

    I work for a company that is doing Voice over IP on our backbone. It has been determined that the maximum acceptable downtime in a VoIP connection is 2 seconds, so if a link goes down, the router has 2 seconds to figure it out and determine another route.

  3. Re:this isn't e-gold's fault on Secret Service Raids Gold-Age · · Score: 1

    Not really, if somebody steals your credit card, you are not liable.

    If somebody steals your check card, you are just out that much cash. That makes daily limits a good thing. Besides, a quality bank will raise it if you ask.

  4. Re:Pay for trust on Why Are SSL Certificates So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Dunn & Bradstreet? Verification? Huh?

    Just go to their website and enter your info. A rep will call you at the number given and ask a few simple questions. That's it.

    Anybody could do it.

  5. Mine read them at least on U.S. Congress And Email · · Score: 1

    My congress-units do read and respond to my email. The three that I write to are Wolf, Warner, and Allen, all from Virginia.

    Of course, I'm mostly writing to tell them how much I disagree with their policies, but oh well.

  6. Re:Two words on Are Expensive RDBM Systems Worth The Money? · · Score: 1

    Oh, yeah, and don't forget the little thing called transactions. If you are writing a serious system without them, you will have a big problem. Last time I checked, MySQL did not support them, but PostgreSQL did.

  7. Re:Don't do it. on Fair Compensation For Non-Compete Clauses? · · Score: 1

    I agree. I don't sign non-competes. It's that simple

  8. Re:CIS is different in a few ways on CS vs CIS · · Score: 1

    My school (GMU) requires at least 26 math credits, but if you want ot take discrete, you must take 29 credits.

    Yikes!

  9. Re:Not freemoneyforhackers.com on Credit Card Database Stolen -- 4 Months Ago · · Score: 1

    I did get one of these charges on my card this month.

    The charge was from INET in Moscow, RU for 217.17 rubles and I had to send in the little form on the back of the statement to get the charge removed.

    If this guy claims that I bought something at his web site, then my credit card company definitely will give him cash.

  10. Re:Too bad it's not the end on U.S. Supreme Court Issues Election Ruling · · Score: 2

    Before you do that, read this article from Discover a few years ago:

    http://208.245.156.153/archive/output.cfm?ID=907

    I think it makes an interesting point, and I do believe some balance should be struck between the most populous and least populous states. The electors themselves should be given the boot, but I think the system still makes sense.

  11. Re:Yup on Will Americans Have Trouble Finding IT Jobs, Overseas? · · Score: 1

    Tanulok is magyarul, de nagyon lassan. Nyelv nehéz es nekem van nem ido. Talán írhetünk. Kellem gyakorlatot nagyon sok. Beszél hozzád has érdekelt vagy.

  12. Re:French, American, whatever. on French Judge Demands Yahoo Censor Auctions · · Score: 1

    My question in all this, is not whether of not Nazi memorabilia should be banned (the idiots buying and selling it should have their heads checked and possibly thumped)

    I collect coins from all countries and time periods, and yes, I do have a Reich coin with von Hindenburg on the obverse and a swastika on the reverse. This somehow makes me a bad person? I also have coins dating from the Roman Empire, another government famous for human rights violations. Not to mention a coin struck during the time of Alexander the Great, etc. How are these relics ideologically relevent?

  13. Re:Yes and no... on Software Packaging And The Environment? · · Score: 1

    I think that quote is from "Clerks"

  14. Re:nice. on H.R. 3113: Spam Bounty Hunters Wanted · · Score: 1

    I use sendmail with the rbl and source domain validation. I get maybe one piece of spam per week.
