  1. Re:What is going on? on CDC: Ebola Cases Could Reach 1.4 Million In 4 Months · · Score: 1

    The problem is not only "hands-on" ceremony, but being part of the ritual drinking the water used to wash the corpse.

    And after the ritual washing the relatives drink the water used.

    It is not drinking embalming fluids, it is drinking the water used to wash the corpse.

    And from where do you think the tap water comes exactly in other parts of the world? I would be interested to learn a new thing today.

    Will I? I am quite considering migrating to slackware or freebsd, and I am talking about almost 100 servers.

    Linux-From-Scratch is a heck of work.

    It would be better if it were a bug. Braindead design decisions.

    Better yet, text mode into servers...and sadly I am not joking. First thing I did when took over the sysadmin role here, was uninstalling graphical interfaces and software, from all servers.

  10. Re:How many of you are still using Gnome? on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 1

    indeed. I have an huge investment in Debian here at work, and I am considering switching. What are people looking at? Slackware? FreeBSD?

  11. Re:Why not KDE on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 1

    I would stay at Mint, they took weeks to solve the heartbleed bug. But then, I am into servers and not desktops.

  12. Re:Wifi issues on Ask Slashdot: Is iOS 8 a Pig? · · Score: 1

    Been using iOS 8 for a month in my iPhone 5S, never had any problems. Now, had some wifi problems in the past, in several versions, but neither with yosemite or iOS 8, either at home or at work. I am here the technical responsible for the wifi EDUROAM project in my faculty. There are some things that people have to be aware with wifi, and with iOS. Firstly, I barely managed to work in 2.4GHz in my building, too much noise, and working with 5GHz is a charm. Secondly, there is the issue of the order of wifi searchs. First come wifis in profiles, then hidden wifis in other networks, then wifis with passwords, lastly open SSIDs. This is all compounded that learned wifis cannot be erased except for a reset in the network configurations, which wipe all of the configurations and passwords. So, wipe the configurations once in a while, otherwise the search cycles between all those SSIDs/networks. If you have a profile from your cable operator, like FON (like I had) erase it, because it brings a lot of networks to the search, and it is not strictly necessary to use FON. Lastly, as hidden wifis are search first before the others, I have had less problems because mine at home is hidden. Good luck.

    Any father that has to support a child, no matter what the argument or no matter whether on the right or wrong size of the law, knows fully well courts are not fond of people who cuts the payments out of their own accord.

    Oh yes, stable as hell, but then my relatives keep pestering me to clean up them because they are slow. And it does not matter cleaning up, after two weeks they are back again with the same problem.

    My favourite one is telling me to install a Windows "AV" to protect my computer. Or a "video plugin". No wonder my relatives Windows computers are always messed up.

    Amen to that. 2.4GHz did not cut out for me, often was waiting 5 minutes just to get the bars on the wifi icon. Moved to 5GHz and now I can do downloads from the Internet via wifi at 80Mbps.
