  1. Re:You will get no argument from me :) on TSA Has 95-Year-Old Remove Her Diaper For Screening · · Score: 1

    Are you saying your "Conservatives" aren't really conservative?

    My point was simply, that around here, the R's and D's are in goverment together, which makes it pretty funny to watch Americans argue over the Big differences between the 2.

    As to your question; i am not a conservative, so i do not know what is and is not the proper definition of "Conservative". BUT, i would think, they are properly closer to the "real deal" then the Republicans, for the simple reason, that they are a conservative party. As opposed to the Republicans, Which is 1 party consisting of 3 fractions; The Christian fraction, The Conservative fraction and The Liberal fraction. ( Note that i am a European, looking in from the outside. I assume Americans would divide them into more "fractions", and the word; "Liberal" seems to mean something different in the US then in the EU ).

    Semi-funny story:

    I'm from Denmark (Scandinavia) and at this time, two partys holds goverment. one is called; "The Conservative Peoples Party", The other; "Left"

    The funny part? (aside from the names). For all intents and purposes; The Conservatives == Republicans and Left == Democrats.

    When we Europeans (barring the brits) fail to see a difference between the R's and the D's we have reasons!

    Hi there Gonzo.

    I'm not implying anything. I was simply Idling, when i noticed an AC had replied to one of my comments. As the comment in question is semi-flamebait
    ( O’er the land of the oppressed and the home of the cowards! ) and AC seemed to "accept the challenge" ( Italian fascists, German Nazis, etc ) i simply "shot" from the hip, to see if he was still online and would care to entertain me. to keep you and any others out of the crossfire i did set the comment subject to: "Just trolling, ignore", But it seems you chose not to :)

    As for any "issues" the US my have, i can only say; you people need to get out more! your issues are by no means US issues, we have plenty of the same things right here in little old Europe and i'm pretty sure the rest of the world is in position to point fingers :)

    So; sorry if spoiled you morning, next time do what subject line says and IGNORE ;)

  11. Re:Probably a proxy box on FBI Seizes Servers In Virginia · · Score: 1

    As someone with a website, how would I go about having my site mirrored on different hosts so if one goes down another takes over automatically? I know I could "get a good host" but every host claims they have redundant backups and everything, I would feel more comfortable if I used several entirely different hosts and had the content mirrored nightly. Is that possible?

    That might be a little tricky.

    Normally you would have no problems, you are simply looking for a "Failover/Heartbeat" setup.

    However in this case i am not sure a "normal" setup would work, as such a setup would involve putting both the main and the backup behind the same router.

    that is; if the main fail, the backup will detect it and request the router to change it's routes so that, from the outside, the backup becomes the main.

    But you are looking to change from one host to another, that is; between to servers that are not behind the same router.

    So you may need to use DNS switching. meaning; if you main server is not responding, you update your DNS entry to point to the backup.

    This might work if updating your DNS entry is fast.

    NO what am i saying! just google "Failover/Heartbeat" i am sure there are many out there better qualified to answer this then me :)

    All in all e-voting == paper-voting with only one little exception.
    The anonymous vote.
    With paper-voting; you get a piece of paper, enter a "voting box", submit your vote. the fact you have voted is known but WHAT you voted are not.
    With e-voting; you get the "virtual" equivalent BUT you properly login from HOME, that is your IP will be connected to your vote! and dos the idea
    of anonymity is lost.
    needless to say, there will have to be foul play involved but personally i consider anonymity to be so vital for a "true" democratic vote that even
    the possibility is a show stopper.
