In court testimony Mr. Hawn is reported to have said 'I was told we had to kill GNU as part of this deal. I didn't really understand the reference, but I looked up a picture of a Gnu. When I saw them wandering onto my ranch I knew what had to be done."
I was confused as to what versions of ZFS were available on which distros so I made a chart that lists the different distros and which version of ZFS they support:
Listen to that funding-generating rhetoric. We can kiss the open internet goodbye now. From now on it will be 'You can choose to have your packets x-rayed or groped.'
Better yet, what would happen if there was a suicide bomber caught with a bomb implanted in his skull... Would you willingly subject yourself to a lobotomy after an incident like this?
I'm putting together a chart of all the different distros and O.S.es that can run ZFS. I'll try to keep it updated with the build numbers and special features of each one:
This also doesn't particularly bother me because to most people a picture of a nude kid is just a picture of a nude kid. Kind of cute in a "Coppertone dog pulls down the bathingsuit" way. Although I'd like to stop these invasive scanners, I don't want to join in on hyping the other boogyman, the omnipresent pedophile. The level of paranoia around pedophiles has risen to McCarthy or Salem Witch trial levels. It's gotten so I would be afraid to take a lost kid to a Mall help desk for fear of being tased and tackled by panicked security guards.
I couldn't care less if some minimum wage slug sees my reverse-greyscale naked body.
What I object to is the possible health risks. I don't trust the companies that make these to have done adequate testing. There are already problems with the method they used to measure risk. They divided the amount of radiation by the total body mass, when all of the radiation is absorbed just by the first few millimeters of skin. This is IONIZING radiation. The kind that destroys DNA and causes cancer and mutations. What about somebody who's had skin cancer? Should they have ionizing radiation pumped into their skin every time they fly? How about pregnant women? Elderly? Children? Nobody knows the long term effects of these scanners, and I don't want to be their guinea pig. ESPECIALLY when they do not improve security in any real way. The only trade off here is trading my health for the TSA payroll and government contractors money. Oh, and hurting the airline industry by making flying offensive enough to drive away customers. Osama Bin Laden must be laughing right now.
I tell you what, Poul-Henning Kamp... when you can write your argument concisely and clearly in Unicode symbols instead of English language using "plain ASCII text" I'll consider it.
Cheap crap that makes them money and makes you sick will be pushed in front of your face.
Healthy stuff that doesn't make anyone a ton of money will be hidden behind the crap.
Go shop at Trader Joe's or Wild By Nature or Whole Foods or a farmer's market. Hint: If there is a McDonald's under the same roof you are in the wrong place.
You cannot come up with a procedure or technology that will defeat greed. One trade per second per institution? They will register 1,000 institutions and have their trades auto-distributed throughout their sub-companies.
The server isn't wide open. You use standard Unix permission control for everything outside of the share. You start the share with wide open ACLs when you install, but then from a windows machine you use Windows Security controls from Windows Explorer to set whatever ACLs and permissions you want on the files and folders in the share. It supports full Posix ACLs, which are mostly compatible with NTFS ACLs. The slight differences won't come into play if you just manage permissions from only Windows.
Black Silicon -- silicon wafers treated with sulfur gases and femtosecond laser pulses -- is much better at absorbing photons and releasing electrons than conventional silicon, at least over certain wavelengths. Oh and if a baby were to ingest several pounds of it it might be toxic.

Hope it's helpful...
Listen to that funding-generating rhetoric. We can kiss the open internet goodbye now. From now on it will be 'You can choose to have your packets x-rayed or groped.'
Thank you for pointing out that you are the archest and that I am sorely lacking in arch.
I've heard it described more like sticking a straw across the room and into YOUR milkshake.
> Yes - I knew that too - I just couldn't think of the word for conditioning air...
This may be a local colloquialism but around here the word for 'conditioning air' is 'AIR CONDITIONING'.
You're welcome.
Better yet, what would happen if there was a suicide bomber caught with a bomb implanted in his skull... Would you willingly subject yourself to a lobotomy after an incident like this?
I wrote at the top and the bottom of the chart 'Please contribute info, links to distros, etc. and I will keep this page updated. '
So you could have, you know, contributed.
It would have been more helpful than coming back to Slashdot to complain.
But good idea about updating the Wikipedia entry.

Mine seems to change from minute to minute.
Well, at least it's better than astronauts wearing diapers...

> ...the upshot is that now you know the right times to ask people out with a higher chance of success.
You should already know this.
All. The. Time.
We've come a long way since then.
Now they sit in the same room, send text messages to each other, and update their facebook pages about each other.

I know plenty of organizations that run exit nodes. The FBI, the CIA, the NSA, ATF, etc.
The only problem with Org-Mode is you have to learn Emacs to use it.
FLAME ON!

Everything I know I've learned from Wired magazine.
Slashdot could have gotten more readers with this headline:

Girls, dogs, sex, porn...
and now you've dragged Moot into this. I've got a bad feeling about this!
