    You made a small error:

  2. Ehh, really? on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 1

    How is this article even possible? Ofcourse you use google instead of man pages.

    Lets say I install a new distro, I want to set up a firewall, routing/nat/forwarding (or whatever you kids call it these days), install my specific hardware and get a weird graphic card working properly in X.

    What man page do I read? The manpage for "firewall", "internet connection sharing", "xconfigurator"? Nope. I google.

    Seriously, man-pages are all good and perky for the nittygritty, but finding a complete solution for the most common tasks are NOT a option. And besides, how do I "man iptables" if the package isnt even installed.

    Any new user to Linux would be completely and utterly stunned by the information contained with the iptables package. I cant even make any sense out of it except for the most basic commands after 10 years (not working as a administrator, praise the lord, though).

  3. Re:If DHT and PEX are on Pirate Bay Shuts Down Tracker, Switches To Distributed Hash Table · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because you cannot authenticate a user to the tracker. It makes ratios and private sites much harder to operate. DHT is more like gnutella in that sense, if you share it everyone can access it without having a good trackratio of seeding.

    However, the private sites will just continue to run their own trackers I suppose, there's no problem for them todo that, however for the public large ones this could very well be the holy grail.

    TPBs core problem is that they are more or less being punished for "helping" people make copyright infrigments. I dont think their charges will go away over this during the current political climate in sweden (more privacy laws, more company friendly politicans and less civil liberty). It is their intent that is the problem, and that intent is just as much now as before to help people infrige on copyright.

    However I wonder just how the swedish juridicial system are going to prove that the people currently being prosecuted really are the ones behind The Pirate bay since they seem to have moved all systems and IP assets overseas. I guess we'll just stick them in jail for being pains in the ass and go back to being good pawns in the much larger conspiracy to turn the entire EU area into a padded and walled commercial zone where money rules all aspects of life.

    From an american standpoint that is a wonderful way of WINNING in the long term. What do you think will happen when the middle east runs out and your local resources are intact?

    Yeah, thats what I fear. As a peace-loving european hippy.

    You're missing the point. Network solution's whois-server is the default in most command line tools. And most likely you're using it too?

  6. Re:Mental Abilities on The Secret to Raising Smart Kids · · Score: 1

    It's about the perspective. If you tell your slender, smart girl that she is just that every day she'll stop caring about being even more slender, tall (:D) and smart.

    Why encourage "just beeing you is good enough" when you can strive to be better?

    That is what the article is saying. Inspire your child (and yourself) to reach newer, higher, better levels.

  8. Re:Real Reason Kids Use Text Messaging... on Kids Say Email is Dead · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wrong, here in sweden (a country with VERY high ratio of text messages sent to spoken minutes on the phone) a SMS is around 14 cents, but talking on the phone for a minute is about the same.

    What is the cheapest? Certainly not sending 120 characters versus the communication time you get for the correpsonding call time.

  10. Re:How is this appropriate for slashdot? on Surprise Arrest For Online Scientology Critic · · Score: 1

    Have you seen that craptastic movie with Mel Gibson? Me and my friends were watching it at EASTER and we were laughing. Mostly about how fcking boring the movie was.

    Scientology doesnt base their "religion" (or whatever they like to call it) of any movie. Some guy made a movie that has some farfetched ties to scientology and you say its their religion? I dont know whats worst, me openly disrespecting your (?) religion or you not realising how inaccurate you are.

    I saw the da vinci code not so long ago, would you say it is a faithful portrait of christianity? I'd say it is based on your above conclusions.

    Whats your prefered os?

    So really..no, it doesnt add cost to them if the default is none. It makes their deals look better - which is the reason for them having all those "options" anyway. "Loook we got servers starting at $350!!!".

  14. Re:Sure, why not? on The Debate Over Advertising on Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Yes, what I'm saying is that if you have 10000 unique users / day and need a dedicated box for that - there is no problem paying for it with adsense. If you have 100000, you can easily staff someone aswell. If there are millions.. hey .. start looking at a nice isle to settle on. People thinking that wikipiedia needs advertising (or any other sites for that matter) to pay for HOSTING are f****** clueless. It upsets me every time I see someone asking for donations etc for hosting, hence my comment.

    Nice, comparing ipods with netmd. Netmd was there before there were any serious mp3-contenders at ALL. We're talking when mp3 players where 64mb flash monstrosities.

    Same here.. my net-md has been thru much with me.. it still rocks. I love that it comes with a AA-battery addon that makes the battery time virtually unlimited for me since I always carry rechargable batteries for my cameras anyway.

    The blogosphere is all about collective jerking off to their own made up sense of how famous and good they are. Closest relative is the phenomen of real life documentary people living in a house for 30 days coming out as "celebrities" or Idol. Only this isnt on TV, luckily.

    Are you saying all women in porn are victims? Because if you are I think you're the sexist here, not me. Besides I do care about women being exploited. I just dont care about the ones doing it for the money for whatever reason. Whats there to stop women from exploiting men in pornmovies? Nothing, money talks. All you need to record a porno movie is a some people, a room and a camrecorder you can rent for a couple of hundred bucks. Distribution is easy with the internet.

    So I call you out for what you really are, troll.
