  2. Re: How about we hackers? on Debate Over Systemd Exposes the Two Factions Tugging At Modern-day Linux · · Score: 1

    RedHat has been a naughty word in my circles ever since gcc 2.96.

  3. Re:How about we hackers? on Debate Over Systemd Exposes the Two Factions Tugging At Modern-day Linux · · Score: 1

    IME the biggest bottleneck when rebooting a server is fsck when filesystem corruption has occurred. Any other slowdowns at boot are manageable.

    They need to rename it though to anti-systemd propaganda news.

    The rest of the title was superfluous.

    Thanks, that explains everything.

  10. Re:Sounds like he hasn't gotten the message on Lennart Poettering: Open Source Community "Quite a Sick Place To Be In" · · Score: 1

    I don't actually see a report of a specific bug there.

    The text says:

    "I have an issue with journal corruptions and need to know what is the accepted way to deal with them."

    EXAMPLE: ...

    but if someone were to tell me to fix that bug, I wouldn't know where to begin.

    Marking this as NOTABUG is the correct course of action.

  11. Re:Changes require systematic, reliable evidence.. on Why the FCC Will Probably Ignore the Public On Network Neutrality · · Score: 1

    What you describe is exactly how it's supposed to work. If the government wants to control the hundreds of billions of dollars of network infrastructure that private companies have invested it, it has an obligation to show that such control is the least burdensome method of achieving a compelling state interest.

    A compelling government interest and least restrictive means are required for strict scrutiny, but strict scrutiny is not applicable here, because a fundamental constitutional right is not being infringed, and the companies providing the infrastructure are not a suspect class.

    Legislation controlling private network infrastructure does pass both rational basis scrutiny (it is rationally related to a legitimate government interest) and intermediate scrutiny (it furthers an important government interest in a way that is substantially related to that interest).

  12. Re:People who who work with kids also use fake nam on Facebook Apologizes To Drag Queens Over "Real Name" Rule · · Score: 1

    Explain to me again why entertainers are groping people?

  13. People who who work with kids also use fake names on Facebook Apologizes To Drag Queens Over "Real Name" Rule · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Teachers and counsellors often don't want the kids they work with to be able to easily find them on facebook, so they use fake names. I have many friends who do this. So far they haven't been affected by any rule enforcement.

  14. Re:Also... on Friendly Reminder: Do Not Place Your iPhone In a Microwave · · Score: 1

    Perl was once upon a time loved by all?

    Are you an invader from a parallel universe?

  16. Re:Do you give up higher cerebral function on Study Finds Porn Exposure Associated With Smaller Brain Region · · Score: 1

    Predisposition toward alcoholism has a strong genetic component, relating to the rate of metabolism of alcohol and its metabolites. I would only expect there to be a strong correlation between alcoholism and pornography usage if there is also a strong correlation between alcoholism and other similar behaviors.

  17. Re:I've been trying feedly on Slashdot Asks: How Will You Replace Google Reader? · · Score: 1

    A lot of features that should have worked in feedly didn't work for me. One I can think of off the top of my head was the configuration option for changing the font. It had no effect on my machine (running latest firefox stable under linux).

  18. Shuttleworth isn't very imaginative... on Shuttleworth On Ubuntu Community Drama · · Score: 1

    I can think of lots of dumber things a smart person could say.

    No, Atlantis is in another galaxy and we need a Zed Point Module to get there.

  22. Re:I've been saying it for years. on Ruby On Rails SQL Injection Flaw Has Serious Real-Life Consequences · · Score: 1

    I think your position is a reasonable one.

    However, it's not particularly relevant to the security hole. The bug has to do with deserialization of parameters rather than SQL specifically; the SQL injection exploit is but one possible exploit of the bug.

    Moreover it's not inconceivable (likely, in fact) that other bugs of the same class exist in projects other than rails. Avoiding Rails altogether doesn't protect you from this class of bug.
