  1. Re:FC3 - FC4 - FC5 on Red Hat Begins Testing Core 5 · · Score: 1

    You probably could, but personally, I wouldn't bother. Just reinstall, unless the downtime makes that out of the question.

    Yeah, especially the shallow ones with a tap.

    Sink? You mean the shallow urinal with the tap?

  4. Re:No! God did it! on Humanity Responsible For Current Climate Change · · Score: 1

    I am a proponent of HUGE tax increases on gasoline. Push it up to the $6 level. People won't stop driving until it really hurts to do it.

    Also make SUV cost more than twice what they currently do and ban them from cities.

  5. Re:FC3 - FC4 - FC5 on Red Hat Begins Testing Core 5 · · Score: 1

    I think the big question is how to get to that nice FC5 from the existing FC3 or FC4. Is there a clean/supported/documented upgrade path? Just get the ISO, burn it, boot from it, and FCN+1 will be smart enough to do that _upgrade_?

    Get the new yum and fedora-release rpms, then do a yum upgrade.
    You might want to check if packages have been marked obsolete and remove them.

    You're absolutely right, and the fact that I live in the catholic part of Holland might have something to do with it ;)

  8. Re:Think of the animals on Behind The Curtain On T-Day · · Score: 1

    I don't mind you, or anyone else being a vegetarian, but could you do it quietly please? I hate it when people evagelise their beliefs, especially when they throw in things like "colorectal cancer" or "Would you like to suffer to be eaten".
    Sure you're not trolls, you're just being ASSHOLES!

    Same thing, really.

    Don't make it sound like a significant portion (as in >1%) of the Dutch population actually even knows about this; they don't.

    It's a lot easier to patch software.

    Besides, no .0.00 release should be trusted to be stable, wait for an update.
    What a bunch of crap! You can say that about software but not about a console that costs you a couple of hundred dollars. They should get it right the first time.

    Oh wait, I forgot, we're talking about MICROSOFT here. :\

    In France, the presumption is that the accused
    is guilty, rather than innocent until proven
    guilty like in the USA.


    That's just nonsense. The presumption of innocense was coined by a French jurist at the end of the thirteenth century and did not even enter Anglo-American jurisprudence until the nineteenth.
    Get your facts staight.

    How about letting people make up their own mind about how they want to call it? And while I'm at it, when is The Hurd going to be finished?

  21. Top 10 reasons IPTABLES is better than PF on OpenBSD 3.6 Released! · · Score: 5, Funny

    Top 10 reasons IPTABLES is better than PF:

    10. Parsing IPTABLES config files excellent preparation for subsequent
    learning of Asian pictograph-based languages.

    9. Standard logging via syslogd helps eliminate clutter in /var/log.

    8. GPL prevents Steve Jobs from stealing your code.

    7. Simplistic man pages encourage development of social skills via mailing
    lists.

    6. Multiple distributions, versions, kernels, modules, plugins, etc. keep
    hackers confused as to exactly what they're attacking.

    5. "Mangle" just sounds so much more 133+ than "Scrub".

    4. Complexity of structure leads to more opportunities for obfuscation and
    subsequent job security.

    3. New and experimental kernel modules make life exciting again.

    2. GUI and Web based utilities mean that anyone can set one up without knowing
    what they're doing.

    And the number one reason IPTABLES is better than PF:

    1. No distracting arguments about whether to port it to OpenBSD.

    Shamelessly stolen from the pf mailinglist.
