  1. Re:Denmark has had a similar site for some time on Internet Dismantling the State Church In Finland · · Score: 3, Informative

    You can do the paper work yourself, if you want to. I chose to pay someone else to do it for me, so I have more time to troll on Slashdot.

    The EUR 13 includes sales tax (25%, EUR 3.25) and postage times two (to you and to the church, total about EUR 2) and then he has to pay income tax of the remaining EUR 7.75 (around 40%, EUR 3.10), leaving him with something like EUR 4.65.

  2. Denmark has had a similar site for some time on Internet Dismantling the State Church In Finland · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Danish website https://www.ingenkirkeskat.dk/ (no church tax dot dk) has been up for a few years. I used it to resign from the church, and got the additional bonus of saving 0,80% income tax. The site says he (it's a one man operation) has saved Danish tax payers DKK 123'535'000 (EUR 16'500'000) so far. His fee is DKK 99 (EUR 13), because in Denmark it has to be done in hardcopy.

  3. Re:md5? on Crack the Code In US Cyber Command's Logo · · Score: 1

    It is a dumb md5 hash and nothing more.

    Having a hash of your mission statement in your logo is an awesome way of saying; We have integrity, our mission can not secretly be altered.

  4. Jubii had such a robot on Russian Chatbot Passes Turing Test (Sort of) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Jubii Chat had such a bot in 1999, collecting phone numbers from Danish boys, so this is not that new.

    Getting financial details is probably new, but that was predictable.

  6. Re:Depends on Choice of Language for Large-Scale Web Apps? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    it should be easy to add additional hardware to compensate for performance issues (server is about US$ 2000,- , or the equivalent of 10-20 hours of developer time.)

    I guess that you are NOT a system administrator?

    "No, I don't need to think before I code, you can just buy more servers. I also killed the database server? Can't you just buy a larger database server too?"

    God damn programmers.

  11. no. 1 cause of downtime on Building/Testing of a High Traffic Infrastructure? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I run a site which peaks above 5,000 page views/second. That part is static, and runs thttpd. No problems at all.

    The other part is dynamic. It runs on Apache (load balanced, no problem) with a PostgreSQL server. If you don't need it's features, "just say no"!

    It is the single part in our system that causes most problems. When your tables grow semi-large (less than 800k rows) and you do a few joins, it chooses strange - and slooooow - ways to execute your queries. Combine that with a few journalists who wants to insert and update articles, and you have a sysadms worst nightmare.

  12. Re:Wow. on KDE Running On A GameCube · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, you could always:

    bc
    cc
    cd

    That should be enough to do serious work :-)

  13. Content-Length in mod_proxy on Apache 1.3.33 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    It is worth noting that the Content-Length security problem is in mod_proxy, not in the main daemon.

    See CAN-2004-0492 for details.

    Maybe deactivated, maybe not. As a consumer, I don't like the idea.

    It's all TCP's fault! It needs replacement, now! ;-)

  19. Because it works. on BIND Is Most Popular DNS Server · · Score: 2, Insightful

    BIND - like Sendmail - is popular because it works. They might be ugly, buggy (as in security problems), whatever, but they are old and people know them.
