    BTW, i was not refering to YOUR point, which is in tune with what ive posted, but to the main point of this discussion.

  3. Re:Hyperviser on The Decline and Fall of System Administration · · Score: 1

    Such a stupid point all around because not all servers are needed for the same things. Yes, if you want a reverse proxy cluster you can do one and multiply with vm software but when the fucker goes down you still need to know which machine to iron out and how to configure it (even plain bare metal needs some after tweaking or some serius storage).

    Even then, there are boxes that are so large that fixing them and knowing how to do it is way way easyer and time productive than ironing from the net or the SAN.

    So it depends on how serius your admin work is and what the fuck your doing in your particular job.

  6. Fedora on Canonical To Divert Money From GNOME · · Score: 1

    I used to hate it. I was a very, very, very hardcore debian guy. Ive built some freaky stuff with debian, until I went into bussiness and had to use redhat. Anyhow, i never liked what ubuntu did to debian and now im on fedora 14 and I have no plans whatsoever to move to anything else.

    I love this thing. Its not at all what fedora used to be, which I hated.

  8. Re:Solution? on Libya SIGINT Jamming Satellites, Towers · · Score: 1

    Hey, a tip of my hat sir, you are right on in every single point.

    However, my statement was subjective because it seems, from the evidence I have in hand, that a someone is launching bomber strikes against squares full of people, and is shelling with ships some cities. Now many things have happened in Irak, but im pretty damned sure that no US strike was conceived to blast tens of thousends with 1000lb bombs from the skies: pinpoint bombing exists, intelops exist...etc...

    I like your skepticism, I think you are right in going with it, but I cannot follow because my perception differs from yours.

  9. Re:Hidden from world view? on Libya SIGINT Jamming Satellites, Towers · · Score: 1

    Your reports count less than a thousend dead, but we also know that he is using big boats to shell and bombers to attack the people or, as it is sometimes depicted, "soft targets" or "personel".... so no, you are not getting the full picture. When this is well and over, i guess the death count will be tens to hundreds of thousends.

    A NATO stealth bomber strike to take them out with missiles intended for that (i understand some ordinance can fry electronics). Enough is enough. Fuck Gaddafi!

    "Used to be Ubuntu was the big Linux hero..."

    I stopped reading right there. Real Linux people do not think on those terms. Linux is linux, distros are distros and some of them are pretty nice and dumb (suse), nice and slow (ubuntu), fast and ugly(RH and incarnations), huge and cumbersome but cool (debians/fedoras)... and nobody is out there to save the world.

  16. Re:Cybercheat? on 61.9% of Undergraduates Cybercheat · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People that cheat, don't learn. In the future of all those students, it will all be sorted out: people that cheated constantly only to get a degree, will have lost time and money to get an education that they rejected when they cheated themselves out of actually baking the certificate with actual skills (beyond stealing). So, long term competition, I think, will favor the intelligent. Non cheaters with a degree will go further and get another one, will go to a company and actually make it money instead of looking like they make them money....

  19. Re:Next you will see on Drug Catapult Found At US-Mexico Border · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Okay... protecting your border would actually be very easy, you know?

    You need to LEGALIZE DRUGS in the US NOW. The groups that "import" mexicans and latinamericans to the US are the very same that have caused oh just about 30,000 dead here in México, and they manage their logistics precisely by coke trafficking in the US.

    If you guys were to legalize drugs Mexico would too and we would have a legal export that would be enough to feed everyone here.

    Understand the following:

    1) Mexico COMPLIES with whatever policy the US sets on drug control.
    2) We pay for it in OUR blood and you guys give us about a couple billion dollars to "help", in about 3 years.
    3) Now the market of drugs for import in the US is close, by conservative estimates, to 11 billion dollars....

    How the FUCK do you expect us to mess the cartels up, if you pay them 11 billion, but help out only by 20% of that?

    Like it or not, geography is not going to change: we are neighbors. Believe me, id like it if we were argentina, where Cannabis is legal in Buenos Aires, and not your neighbor that, being a sensible "thing" in the list of shit about your national security, is doomed to bend to your HUGE pressure to do irrational things like the war on drugs.

    Remember this: MEXICANS ARE FOR LEGALIZATION OF DRUGS. We dont do it, because it makes no sense to legalize here (we have 5% incidence on first-or-only-time drug consumption as opposed to your 50%), if you shitfucks dont do it up there.

    We are getting very, very much fucked up by cartels that get their money from you,.
