  1. Re:CmdrTaco is a flag desecrator and Anti-Delawari on Nanotechnology Harnesses the Power of Light · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That's pretty funny. I'd kinda forgotten Delaware existed, and I guess CmdrTaco did too.

  2. Re:Don't bother trying this... on Security Focus on Cable Modem Uncapping · · Score: 2
    Christ, what kind of stubborn egomaniac are you? Just because it didn't work in your single test of a single modem, you're making the broad assertion that it doesn't work for anyone, that SecurityFocus is full of crap for carrying the article, and that all the first-hand accounts in this thread are lies.

    If you're really a network engineer, I hope you're never in charge of my quality of service . . . your stubbornness blinds you to any new information comflicting with your own assertion.

    Just admit it. Either your test was flawed, or there exist other configurations that you're unfamiliar with. You don't know everything.

    Yeahyeahyeah. Of course he's going to have ideas that don't fit the template. In general, however, his ideas about software (the topic at hand) tend to follow a pattern. Extreme freedom in all respects.

    That's ridiculous. I can run software written for pretty much any version of Windows (or DOS) EVER on my W2K machine. With [GNU/]Linux, I have to make sure I have compatible builds of this/that library, etc.

  6. Re:Stallman is not on the left on The Stallman Factor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think both of you need a basic lesson in political science.

    Draw a diagram with four quadrants, like this:

    ^ ----
    | |1|2|
    Y ----
    | |3|4|
    | ----
    0---X-->

    The X-axis represents "financial freedom" (this goes along with "free-as-in-beer").

    The Y-axis represents "personal freedom" (this goes along with "free-as-in-speech").

    We have four main areas:

    1 = "left-wing"
    2 = "libertarian"
    3 = "authoritarian"
    4 = "right-wing"

    So, you're both wrong. He's in quadrant 2.

  20. HavenCo will destroy Sealand on Document Retention And E-mail · · Score: 2
    Let me get this straight:

    I am the CEO of a UK-based company. I send documents to you, with the instructions "Give me access to these documents on demand, unless you think I'm being subpoenaed". Then, when the subpoena comes, I'm supposed to tell the court "I can't give you those documents; I'm paying HavenCo not to give them to me"?!

    I effectively made a contract with you designed to obstruct justice. They'll just lock me up for contempt until you hand them over. In that case, are you still planning to keep them locked up forever while your customer rots in jail?

    You must have gotten Prince Roy pretty wasted before he signed the contract to allow you to do business in Sealand. He must be regretting jumping on the Internet bandwagon about now. This behaviour will eventually prompt Britain or the EU to take action and dissolve Sealand, and you won't care because it's not your little-recognized sovereign nation you destroyed with your shady business practices.

    My friend, who once commanded a six-figure salary coding C++ for a large development firm, has been crippled by these implements and now has to struggle with demeaning part-time jobs in order to put food on the table.

    This is obvious bullshit. Anyone who's that good of a C++ coder could find employment in the field, even if it means coding v-e-r-y slowly with a stick between his teeth (or dictating to an assistant).
