You make me giggle. Yes, I am aware of what century we're in. We used to be plagued with typos and lack of proofreading. Now, all can be blamed on fat fingers and autocorrect. $DEITY, shoot me now.
maybe you should get out of your windows xp world and get some modern hardware?
The jokes just keep on coming. You should take that show on the road.

The only MS box I've used in the last 22 a. was owned by clients who insisted I use it. Pthooooo!
If you're speaking to your grandmother, mature words shows respect. Otherwise, "plain speaking" is preferred here. "Spit it out! What do you really want to say?!?" We can't read minds. The more effort you put into it, the more I can (potentially) get out of it. I don't much care what words, profane or otherwise, you use. I can take it.
As much as I love him, Linus should stay out of politics. That stuff'll drive anybody insane. It's not simple !@#$ like nVidia kernel drivers.
Now, I think I'm going to go bang my head on the stack of math books I've accumulated over the years but never did crack open. That should fill a day.:-|
[Linus, you still rock. Keep on keepin' on. Go hug your wife!]
Are you sure about that? To me, they're just two different shades of gray. Think Hitler. Everyone considers him an evil genius; everyone but the Wehrmacht who knew he didn't have a clue to save his life. Now try Stalin. Ted Bundy. Yada, yada,...
If crooks weren't stupid, they wouldn't be crooks. HTH. HAND.
You're pretty funny. Do you write like that intentionally, or do you just go along with those voices that are screaming at you from inside your head? Can that hole get any deeper? You should be able to see Tianenman Square by now.
I'm constantly amazed that people like you manage to survive into adulthood. I think I need a drink, and it's only ten o'clock AM.:-P
Considering the intellectual capacity of the average US politician, is it even possible to determine whether it was accidental or intentional? Cf. Sarah Palin, GWB, Chris Dodd, R. M. Nixon,...
You don't know what the hell you're talking about.
That's about the stupidest comment I've seen in years. In an age of ubiquitous Internet, anyone can teach themselves everything they want to know about Tricky Dick:
The only president to resign the office, Nixon had previously served as a US representative and senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961.... he initiated wars on cancer and drugs, imposed wage and price controls...
Though he presided over Apollo 11, he scaled back manned space exploration.
Nixon's second term saw an Arab oil embargo, the resignation of his vice president, Spiro Agnew, and a continuing series of revelations about the Watergate scandal.... a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee...
My favourite bit about Nixon was blaming 18 minutes of blank tape on his secretary. Accidental, or intentional? Hard to tell? How about a little too damned convenient?
Dick was no role model. Early in life, he was honourable and earnest. Then he went into politics and sold his soul to be close to power.
somebody who really really tried could probably resurrect the old data through a mere zeroing
That old chestnut never dies. Since the 1990's, this is not possible anymore. When a hard disk is overwritten, once is enough, no matter what the new content is, the original data are completely unrecoverable.
Sorry, but you're going to have to back that up. There's been plenty of stories published that say fibbies/NSA can do multiple levels of recovery based on mere writing 0/1 >/dev/sdN.
I think you're racist and probably sexist as well.
So, you're an idiot and a fool. Thanks for helping.
No, I'm not either. My best friend is female (degree in CS, Masters in Math), working with CERN. Dr. Prab (which you apparently missed when I mentioned him) is (E.) Indian and is way competent. Consulting to ExxonMobil (Midrange Engineering).
Fool!
I prefer working with women, fwiw. Especially female bosses/managers. They smell better and their egos don't stink so much as the average male does.
what does it take for a competent IT professional to get hired in this town?!
Don't list your physical address as in North America. Oh, you said competent, sorry. Dunno; it's a mystery. Are you a Twenty-something who knows nothing with only a barely understandable command of English and willing to work long hours for peanuts and willing to do any damned fool thing we ask? You're hired.
Apologies to the actually competent immigrants among us (hi Dr. Prab!:-). No offense intended. It must be the bad air we're breathing these days.:-P
Have you ever read legislation? It isn't just theoretically possible, but downright likely that copying/dev/random will result in an exact duplicate of the original data being written.
That's damned near profound. Either that, or Scotch in my morning coffee is the wrong way to go through life... Nah!
We all complain so much about lawyers and their excesses, yet look at what they have to put up with to become lawyers. They need to understand how to interpret laws, legalese, legislation, the crap that politicians spit out,...
Bleh! Pthoooooo! Yuck! Better them than me. Ick. Not in a month of Sundays. I'd rather $blah!
Well, that set of commands is "fucking difficult" for someone that has a life.
I take it your definition of "life" is: "Read the documentation?!? I'm not going to read any fsck'n documentation! It should just fsck'n work, damnit!!!!11"
Fneh. I weep for your children (should you manage to figure out how to produce any), and your wife must be a moron for marrying you too (assuming you've found anyone dumb enough to marry you). Try "xman -notopbox -bothshown &" (on a FLOSS box command line). Pointy-clicky interface to the documentation.
Should fully wiping out all your data be as easy as pressing a button?
NEVER in public office
Considering the intellectual capacity of the average US politician, is it even possible to determine whether it was accidental or intentional? Cf. Sarah Palin, GWB, Chris Dodd, R. M. Nixon,...
I know, other countries elect fairly dumth politicians (Sarcozy, Berlusconi), but the US seems to excel in this area.
... I believe his staff install Linux intentionally for erase the data in their pc's.
Uhhh..they had backups which means that makes NO sense whatsoever.
Sure, it makes sense. Any smart Linux user makes/home a separate partition, and that's all that gets backed up. Everything else can be got from an install disk.
The congresscritter's staffers just got fed up using Micro$hit, and took matters into their own hands. Inside job! Power to the people!!!111
You've never worked with scientists? Think fortran variables: a, b, c,... some of which are naturally $anything, some of which are naturally floats,...
I liked fortran, which is not to say it's not psychotic.
The mistake they did was to allow public access to the log files of their web server.
It looks to me that the mistake they did was to not peruse their log files. Had they, they'd have noticed that their webserver was logging logins, failed logins, yada, that it shouldn't have been.
Logs are not kept just because the authoritays may come looking for them. They're also (initially primarily) kept for confirming your software configuration isn't fscked up. IMHO.
However, having worked with web hosts in the past which were spitting out > 200k errors/day, I can understand they may have been reluctant to go anywhere near their log files. Sucks to be a web admin.:-P

It's called autocorrect, have you heard of it?

The envy is strong in you. :-P
I mean "racist" is a pretty damned serious accusation.
In "polite society", yes it is. In truth, however, we're all racists. We try not to be, but "different from me" defines us.

I just try to smile at everyone I meet and hope it works out for the best for both of us. :-|
Ah crap. Did I say that out loud?

I see you're -1 Troll. Looks like it's working well to me.
You guys are all misspelling Pengunista, fwiw.
Suspected devices include laptops, tablets, automobiles, toasters and those sneakers with flashing lights in the heel.
The sneakers are safe. We're waiting on drivers.

Now that you've analysed your copy of the data, please delete it.
I think you've a shallow definition of "analyse." Analysis can go on forever. Yet another reason to protect your data.
You could, you know... look in the logs to find out?
Who reads log files?!? Boring!!!111 :-P /s
It's like only caring about news for nerds that actually matters -- And reading Slashdot.
Now that's cruel. It's Infotainment! :-|
