    Yes, I agree..

    I just wonder why they don't read books - there are millions of ideas there.

    Microsoft already had this problem.

    Once they had a slogan "Where do you want to go today?"
    And after German website Linux.de put their slogan "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" there
    Microsoft was pissed off and forced website owners to remove slogan in question.

    Well, let's get something straight here ;)

    * The "Occupied Territories" were taken during the 6 day war when the Arab countries (again) united to try to push the Israelis to the sea. As usual, they got their asses kicked. The ARABS started that war. The Israelis gained territory (most of which has been returned in terms of area. Ever hear of the Sinai?) as a result of Arab Aggresion. The didn't just decide to invade Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.

    Common, you forgot to do your homework. Israel started 6-day war in "pre-emptive strike".

    It looked like Arabs prepared to war and scared Israel a lot, but they didn't start that war.

    No surprise in California -
    it's against law here to have SSN number same as DL number.

  6. Can I sue bar for no letting me in without DL ? on Pay Dirt in Scanned Driver's Licenses · · Score: 1
    OK, I come to bar and show them anything that shows my over 21 age
    - passport, birth certificate or ID without letting them scan it or photocopy it and they don't let me in.

    Could I sue them?
    Could they make rules not allowing you in, like "OK, you're 21 but look suspicious - go away!"
    Is it legal to deny services to person for reasons not covered by law?
    Or it's differ from state to state?

    I'm not talking about 'clubs' - just regular bars.

    Hmmm... Bar code means code for use in bars..

    YES!

    This information should be encrypted and could be read only by readers installed in DMV or police.

    AND there should be a law prohibiting circumventing encrypted information on cards..

    But on second thought I don't see any use for this
    information. It's convenient to have name and ID number on magnetic strip - but nothing else.

    Interesting enough the Soviets employed

    It was kept high secret at the time, well as almost everything ;) in USSR. Germans was repatriated in early 50's.

    You are trolling around, aren't you?

    You made up numbers and made conclusions on them..
    Especially strange looks "FreeBSD ... lost 93% of its core developers".

    I see a lot of emotional words like "dying, out of business, dead, sick, decay", but there is not much sense in sentences..
    Looks like propaganda for me ;)

  11. Re:The best first step....Retire sendmail on How to Fix the Unix Configuration Nightmare · · Score: 1
    The sad story is I NEED to do some things to make a little less stupid mail system, and sendmail can seldom do what you want, save changing the source.

    Unfortunately all other mailers are more stupid and are less configurable...
    And you don't like to read manuals, do you ? ;)
    Depending on what you need to change source address you could use masquerade or generics features in sendmail.

  12. Re:Install/configure on How to Fix the Unix Configuration Nightmare · · Score: 1
    It looks like it's point of view of Linux programmer ;) - No pun intended ;)

    I like more Unix sysadmin's point of view :

    There are two different issues - OS configuration (/etc,usr/local/etc files) and user applications configurationfiles.

    Unix have matured for the last 30 years. And there is a reasons why we have configuration files like they are now. Allmost all of Unixes have miniroot concept - you have a / partition and your computer is in a network and could create other partitions, install software, etc. This miniroot does not have /usr ( this is not a case for most Linux distros). All of configuration files should be editable with /bin/vi. It is good to have a lot of small configuration files - not just big one, because you could not screw up with single 'rm' and because it's more convenient in case you use something like 'rsync' to have your configuration files the same on your servers.

    If you have a Unix production server farm - you don't need to have to login into every box to make change...

    Well, I don't care about user configuration files - users are free to do anything they want in their $HOME. Oh, yes, I've got no users on my production servers ;)

    I don't know why XML is so popular, but almost nobody uses it (at least on Unix ;) I see the point to make nested config's, but it could be done using C-style nesting.

    We have to look into compatibility between BSD's,Sys V Unixes and Linux distros - and then you could forget about GNU configuration library because of it's license. If not - You are free to create your own Linuz distribution - XML Config Linux ;)
