  9. Deja Vu all over again.... on Usenet Encoding: yEnc · · Score: 1

    I've just had this strange usenet flashback to the 1991-93 timeframe where there was a very very vocal element on alt.binaries.* bitching something rotten about posters using JPEG instead of GIF.

    Strange how spurious BS arguments get recycled again and again in defence of the status quo.

    If I was bold enough to make a prediction, I would suggest that within 18-24 months, posters into alt.binaries.* using anything other than yEnc will be in a very tiny minority.

    Like all great software that scratches an itch for just about everyone , a de facto standard some becomes a de jure one. The RFCs will be along later.

    As a real life example. How many european govts were mandating OSI and X400 to the forcible exclusion of everything else back in the late 80s/early 90s ? How many are doing so now ?

    Anyone want to take bets on how long it will take MS to give it the ultimate seal of approval by supporting it in OE ? I reckon its sooner rather than later.

    It doesnt NEED to. A proper L4 balanced proxy implementation will select the proxy member from hashing enabled based on source/dest port, source/dest IP Address AND on the URL. This will ensure that connections to www.foo.com from your source will always go the to the same server.

    Listening to self righteous Vegans is nearly as bad as having to put up with the bollocks spouted by the wilder christian sects, endless moronic repetition that we are all destined for hellfire because we are catholic, protestant, gay, black, white, jewish, hindu, moslem, having sex before marriage, single mothers, shopping on Sundays/whatever.

    You cannot rationally argue with these headcases, its a religion, an article of faith, they are fscked in the head every bit as bad as members of the LCC, CoS, Moonies or any other cult.

    The nonsense that we cannot be meat eaters if the planets population reaches [INSERT LARGE FIGURE HERE] has been repeated by their ilk for well over 150 years now. I believe the figure originally started at a billion and has to be adjusted up each time the the past assertions have been exposed as utter bollocks.

    Any person who would take the rantings of Peter Singer seriously should be made to pay dearly for advocating the fascism of the 'animal rights' movement.

    No animal tested drugs, no medicines, no welfare benefits paid out of taxes raised by folks and their businesses you would destroy in the name of cute little animals, for you or any hellspawn you breed.
    You want to condemn the world back to a medieval hell where a simple infection ment death, its only fair that you should be hoisted on your own petard and try that road yourself first.

    The cure for the comfortable urban middle classes who make up the vast majority of proselytizeing Veganism (Note I did not say vegetarian), is to be dumped say for 18 months onto an Ant/Artic island full of 'Ohhh So Cute' seals/penguins armed with nothing but a blunt hatchet.

    >Are you aware of the 500 plus mega ton nukes that we have

    Someone shoot this fscking idiot. There are NO 500 megaton nukes, you have been watching to much Babylon 5.

    The largest device ever tested was the Russion Tsar Bomba at 57 megatons in the Artic Circle back in the early 60s.

    It took a Bear stripped back to the metal just to get the damn thing airborne at 30000+Kg in weight. Impressive, but useless as a deliverable weapon. Even at 30+tonnes the test device device generated a reduced yield, if it had been fitted with a fissile jacket of U238 as planned for production, estimated yields were in the 100-120 MT range. Problem being, the dropping aircraft would have had zero hope of escape after release. The test Tsar Bomba was the cleanest ever tested, with nearly all its yield coming from Fusion. A production device would have been seriously dirty from its U238 jacket.

    500 MT in assorted handy size nukes are a lot more of a threat from both a tactical and strategic viewpoint.
