  1. Re:This reminds me of WW 1 on Has Progress Been Made In Fighting DDoS Attacks? · · Score: 1

    From wiki...

    The anti-authoritarian sections of the First International were the precursors of the anarcho-syndicalists, seeking to "replace the privilege and authority of the State" with the "free and spontaneous organization of labor."

    Oddly enough, the duke was assassinated by an Anarchist, who had been doing this kind of thing a lot since the 1840s. Read about the LONG history of anarchism in Europe to gain some insight into how unremarkable (and stupid) the acts of Wikileaks and the WTO protesters is. Long since discredited - except by the young

  3. Umbrella Shaft on Backscatter X-Ray Machines Easily Fooled · · Score: 1

    I've often wondered about what seems like a huge gap in the security technology: umbrella shafts, like the Penguin would use. It's a thin circular shaft of metal. On the X-ray, it's going to show up as thin circular shaft of metal. Seems like an obvious place to put a sword blade...

  4. Gee, Microsoft didn't whip IBM because of this !!! on Chrome OS Doesn't Trust Apps Or Users · · Score: 1

    Wow, talk about those who don't understand the past are doomed to repeat it. Microsoft (and PCs from IBM in general) were popular precisely because individual business departments got to install their own apps instead of having to use only the ones that the guys on the raised floorboards deemed they could have.

    It's why the PC won in the first place; talk about hubris from Google.

    I guess Google figures people will like it if comes with Rounded Corners + Gradients this time.

    What if I hacked your email account and posted information that you didn't really care about? Would you be mad that I hacked your email account and posted your emails?

    Why do you want to deny the rights to the US government that you'd like for yourself?

    If you like that you'll love Brought To Light by Alan Moore which he wrote after Iran Contra. Cue the black helicopters and x-files music

    I think the trilateral commission, the Rand corporation, black helicopters and the Freemasons are usually involved in things like that.

    Yeah, if this is the worst thing you can say about us, well, that ain't too bad.

  10. The Spinmeister on WikiLeaks Will Unveil Major Bank Scandal · · Score: 1

    At least the egomanaic is admitting that the documents he finds don't actually show anything "beyond the pale." I'm sure he expected for some kind of smoking gun where he saw US soldiers just blatantly murdering people and people laughing about it or something.

    The documents as far as I'm concerned largely show the US as handling all this pretty well. I mean, what planet does Wikileaks live on? The one where Stalin didn't murder 50 million people?

    I'm sure the logs of Wikileaks sound equally malevolent when someone posts in and describes everyone in it as some big evil character out of central casting.

    This is great. It clears the decks, let's people not have to have paranoia about "whats out there" because guess what you saw it! and it's not all that bad!

    Judging from the amount of ALL CAPS posts coming from the "America Last" types so prevalent here on Slashthink, I'd venture to say that one side here is the Troll.

    Mfc and gdi are similar to Gtk and Gdk. Pango is rather unique, tho some of Gdi+ is similar.

  21. Re:But you can do that now on Ubuntu May Move To Rolling Releases · · Score: 1

    The first thing they teach you on d-l when you complain about a Sid issue is, "did you install apt-listbugs?" If you're not smart enough to read the buglist before you install, you shouldn't run Sid - you should run Stable.

    Of course if you're the very first guy to install it you can still hit issues. I keep a local repo of my "last known good" debs so I can rollback if Sid breaks something. The equals key in aptitude is your friend.
