  1. Got a Gentoo-CD and a: "try it" on Ask Slashdot: How Did You Become a Linux Professional? · · Score: 1

    And at first i really hated it, my win 2000 was soooo much more awesome.
    So i switched back within like 1 week.
    One year later i was bored and wanted to give it another try.
    That was like 10 Years ago and now all my machines run either apt or portage based distros.

  5. Re:Audio sync bug on MplayerX Leaving Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    i guess the desync time is constant.
    So why not manually offset the desync and sync manually?

  6. Re:Why not just use VLC ? on MplayerX Leaving Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    I use both, mplayer and vlc, as neither can play really ALL the files. VLC has less decoding capabilities, but needs less ressources. mplayer on the other hand can play nearly anything, but at 50% more resource usage.

    Therefore i have both and if one player wont do, the other will.
    The mplayer + vlc combo never faild me for like 5 years now.

    BT Chunk hashing is afaik not single layer.
    Each chunk has a hash + every X chunks have a hash + the whole file has a hash.
    Happy colliding ;)

    Who guarantees, taht downloading from http://example.com/ will really lead to your company's Servers?
    DNS Poisioning is a well known and very frequent attack scheme.

    Basically all your arguments AGAINST BT could be evened out by arguments AGAINST http(s)

  13. Gnome died fro me with G3 on GNOME Developers Lay Out Plans for GNOME OS · · Score: 1

    Gnome 3 made me rethink my love for gnome. I switched to KDE4, which does not need much more ressources than gnome3.
    And guess what: I started liking KDE.
    You can change ANYTHING, the downside is, that you HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING, but when done, it does its work.

    Really, gnome is becomming the next M$,Apple monolithic thingy.
    They even ported the registry!

  15. Wo cares about steam? on How Will Steam on GNU/Linux Affect Software Freedom? · · Score: 1

    It will die, after M$ brings in their app store/Package manager, no game development company will care about steam any longer.
    So after windows' package manager starts working, steam will die.
    Steam was just a third party package manager for games anyway.

    Kde4 seems to have lost some weight, or gnome3 put masses on.

    Linux has only adress range nat and not a per address nat, making it useless for topology hiding and some cases of load balancing

  24. Re:IPV6 == no security on Sale of IPv4 Addresses Hindering IPv6 Adoption · · Score: 1

    So say, all your machines have only have one internal adress and all the multihoming/loadbalancing and natting is done at the firewall... WHERE it the benefit of ipv6 where i need to assign all my machines multiple adresses killing many sorts of loadbalancing and exposing my internal topology to the world? also any isp migration requires more than some straight forward changes at the firewall? Srsly, I dont see the benefit of ipv6 ;)
