  1. Re:Well for once I agree with religious crazies on UAE Clerics' Fatwa Forbids Muslims From Traveling To Mars · · Score: 1

    Actually this fatwa is completely reasonable, unlike other bullcrap like one that forbids women from driving or Catholic Church's opposition against birth control. Suicide is prohibited in Islam and this fatwa is based on that law. Mainstream Muslim clerics also forbid suicide bombing on the same grounds.

  2. Re:Beware journald... on Debian Technical Committee Votes For Systemd Over Upstart · · Score: 1

    journalctl is almost 1s slower than tail -f /var/log/...

  3. Re:Sigh. I prefer to block javascript.. on Firefox 23 Makes JavaScript Obligatory · · Score: 1

    I'm on a very slow internet connection that often fails contacting servers if there are many simultaneous active connections. Hell.. even this ISP seems to have faulty routing to several sites that those sites are forever inaccessible to users, or difficult to access, e.g: Wordpress CDN. Typical news pages that load dozens of scripts from various sites always give me headache since they often fail loaded with broken CSS and images or not showing its contents at all since the script needed cannot be loaded. This is often solved by disabling javascript. Without this option, I'll have to wait 3 minutes or more to read a news page, if I'm lucky... Nevermind I'll use Chrome instead.

  5. Re:All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less on Ask Slashdot: Current State of Linux Email Clients? · · Score: 1

    The problem is, mutt doesn't display our reply in thread. We have to open outbox to see our reply.

  6. Re:Without the use of a loop!? on How Does a Single Line of BASIC Make an Intricate Maze? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't look like a maze at all in xterm :/

  7. Re:is any of this needed? on Kmscon Project Seeks To Replace Linux Virtual Terminal · · Score: 1

    Second, the rationale for putting this in userspace was mainly for internationalization. In particular, some character tables (for Asian languages, especially) can be rather large. If it was in the kernel, that memory could not be swapped out. In userspace, you can.

    I have many files written in East-Asian character sets. I can't access them using regular terminal while not in X. This internationalization support would be very helpful for many users, and it would be awesome if the developers can make something like iBus/SCIM on it.

  8. Re:Don't panic! on Ask Slashdot: Protecting Data From a Carrington Event? · · Score: 1

    The particles need time to travel from the sun before they hit, and within moments after a massive flare has been detected, an early warning should have spread worldwide. Can we prevent damage to electrical grids by disconnecting grids, substations and power stations, so that the surge won't affect much of the system? The surge will still be there but I think the effect can be minimized because no current is flowing in the grid and all components are practically isolated from others.
