Well, I have 3 main addresses and one has dropped from 30 a day to maybe 5, a second blipped down as well but is going back up again and the third (an alias I can't get rid of) gets everything routed to the bin anyway so I don't know.
Still, spam has almost died on my main address. No complaints here.
The story preceding this in the YRO section os one where the USAF are not liable under the DMCA because they are part of the government. Does this happen a lot? Passing laws which do not apply to those passing them? I can see perfectly good reasons why a government *should* be exempt from the DMCA, but so should everybody else.
It is not so much that fewer people are around who remember, it is more that fewer people are around who were involved.
Back in the mid/late 80's, my subjective impression was that there was a sea-change in 'official' attitudes. I thought at the time that this had a lot to do with the people who had grown up in the Nazi era finally retiring. It would be crazy to claim that all who grew up around then were 'contaminated', but the people who had risen to the top of the tree in - for example - the police force or the judiciary were not necessarily people who had upset their predecessors on their way up.
The political leadership of Bavaria (the same party has been in charge there since the 50's) had a public policy 20-30 years ago of not leaving any room for a party to their right. That policy was instituted by FJS (Strauss). He died 20 years ago, his replacent did not last long and *his* replacement was only recently shoved aside. I don't know what the new official line is but would suspect the attitude is "if it works, don't fix it", at least publically.
I thought they had their DNS entry blocked (but not that of their mirrors outside the US) because they did not defend themselves in court when that Swiss bank applied for the block. The same judge reversed the ruling a few days later.
Taking that joke seriously, this GCC level totally breaks Hurd. It affects (breaks) some applications running under Linux or the BSDs but it kills Hurd directly.
It is not quite as bad as that. It causes problems between two threads, but both threads have to be from the same program. If someone has such a specially crafted program running on their system, they have been breached already.
From what I saw of TFA, this is being done. An updated GCC is being pushed and I suppose that this reversion to the previous behaviour will be backed out again at some point.
Interesting was:
GCC was the exception in this case - other C compilers always did it this way
While it affects some programs running under Linux or BSD, this GCC update appears to nuke Hurd completely.
I am more interested in the legal implications of targeted drug delivery - who is responsible if these couriers are arrested? Janus is not within the jurisdiction of the US so my guess is that the researchers will be held to account.
That link also points out that Unita were allied with (apartheid) South Africa, also being financed by the US under Reagan and Bush. S Africa's support ended when Nelson Mandela was elected. At one point the MPLA offered free, supervised elections, when Unita lost them they started fighting again. The war finally ended when Unita's leader Joseph Savimbi died and Unita fell apart. Estimates of the numbers killed vary from 500 000 to 1 500 000, basically to satisfy Savimbi's ego.
As African governments go, the MPLA are reasonable.
What it comes down to is: the guy whose 'natural level' would be doing security checks at airports, has made it to the White House and is responsible for policy.
There must be some electioneering reason behind this but I can't work out what it is. What the US Administration is asking for is basically not feasable and there must be some reason why they pulled this stunt. Who gains in the prezidentchul race when the EU says "can't do, won't do"?
For the record, I can't see McCain wanting to play games like that.
Two of us flew out of Denver a couple of years ago during the ski season. My skis tested positive for explosives - normal if it has snowed recently and they have been triggering avalanches - and my friend's ski boots tested positive.
The boots were in her suitcase. The guys got to rummage through her underwear. She was *not* amused. I understand female celebrities tend to mail their underwear home for just that reason.
This theft of laptops at airports is in a different class though, those guys have been given too much power.
That might be the point. He sort of vaguely appeals to people who are probably not going to vote for him anyway.
Firm Support looks nothing like that, and there do not appear to be enough Paulistas out there to actually get him in to first place anywhere. Except for mentions in this forum. Like *that* is what he is aiming for.
I should have said 'some resistance', and pointed out that it is localised (to Europe) just as resistance to Malaria is afaik African based.
No links because I'm about to head off and got this from dead trees anyway, but DNA analysis indicates that human diversity in W Europe dropped dramatically around the time of the plagues and that a mutation arose conferring some resistance. Just like Sickle-Cell Anaemia, only a fraction of people have it.
In principle, I can believe your group of neo-nazis being attacked, although you *could* be a bit more precise than just a German war memorial in Scandinavia and not long ago. I must admit to being a bit surprised that there are any German war memorials in Scandinavia - I have never seen any outside Germany / Austria. Countries normally commemorate their own dead, not those of an occupying force driven out (Norway, Denmark). Sweden was not involved in the war so I would not expect memorials there at all. I don't know what your Scandinavian neo-nazis are like but I saw the statistics on the number of (mostly dark-skinned) people killed per year by neo-nazis in (mostly Eastern) Germany and the number was far higher than I had ever imagined. A high profile attack a few days ago was some nice guy - who has been caught - carving a swastika into a 17-year-old girl's leg.
People who behave like that have enemies.
Now to your Anti-Muslim group in Denmark. If they are simply anti-muslim then one of the parties in the ruling coalition sympathises with them. According to that website the mainstream media are not interested in the story. That simply does not add up.
That website is run by people who are against the introduction of the Sharia in various European countries.
When I was 7 an uncle gave me a 'tiger stick' to keep the tigers away. He told me the reason there were no tigers around was because I was carrying that stick. I got the joke.
Oh, the coalition which has been running Denmark since the end of 2001 contains anti-Islamic elements. If the incident that link describes had really taken place in that way then there would have been serious consequences. Don't believe all you read.
This is all an attempt to get Hogwarts moved to Texas. No-one there could have anything against a school dedicated to pure and applied magic.
I imagine the only objection they could have against a school dedicated to Satan would be the human sacrifices in the Summoning lessons, or would that be ok because of the rules pertaining to freedom of expression of religion?

I assume the Belgians were not quite as grateful after WW1, which was largely fought on Belgian territory.
at the recent RoboBusiness conference in America.
How recent? 11 days ago?
Does this give China a valid pretext for invading Taiwan? Taiwan is now well on the way to possessing WMDs.
Fixing asap (in the kernel) is a necessity, but 'all' it really does is to cause affected programs to hang or abort.
What did Douglas Adams say? DON'T PANIC.
I thought they had their DNS entry blocked (but not that of their mirrors outside the US) because they did not defend themselves in court when that Swiss bank applied for the block. The same judge reversed the ruling a few days later.
They don't need to. All they need to do is release an updated kernel.
Nope, other compilers always (?) did it this way - at least according to TFA.
(There is a list of 'other compilers' in there somewhere)

No privilege escalation, only DOS.

Yours is one interpretation.

Yup, I read that too.

How did this thing get past the Firehose? Has someone set up a botnet to vote things up?
(I am sure that must be possible but I can't see the point)

- Aids (originally from Chimps?) takes years to kill, allowing the host to infect others.
- Bubonic Plague was a disease for rats. It killed a lot but not to the extent of exterminating entire species. Humans have developed resistance.
- Ebola? Endemic in some monkey species, outbreaks amongst humans cause so much damage that the disease fails.
- Malaria: kills a lot, but humans have developed resistance here as well.

That particular sword cuts more than one way.
