I'm afraid whether you like it or not , Drag Queen (read transvestite) and gay and solidly linked in the public psyche , and I'm afraid a lot of that is down to militant gays. How many times have you watched a gay pride carnival on TV only to see a bunch of (frankly ugly) blokes dressed up to look like female brazilian dancers or some other ultra feminine stereotype? Ok , I imagine 90% of gays would not want to look anything like that but if the self styled gay "representatives" keep pushing these stereotypes then people will absorb them.
You must be new here. The BSD is dying troll have been around for ever it seems. I'm not sure if he thinks he's being funny, annoying or he's got a gripe against BSD itself. Either way he needs to seek help IMO.
"I'm curious - how can it be determined without the benefit of source code for ES5 that the exploit isn't just a horrendous oversight instead of a malicious pre-meditated function of the software?"
Even in assembler its not too hard to see when an operation is a bug resulting from jumping to a bit of code when some unexpected events coincide and jumping to the same bit of code when a SPECIFIC packet arrives.
Is the 5.x series stable enough yet to use in a serious enviroment or should I stick to 4.x for the time being? Even though I use FreeBSD (though admittedly only as a backup OS to Linux) I'm confused by their release policy. At what minor version increment do current release branches become stable or are we supposed to just hope for the best? If 5.0 was as unstable as I've heard in certain situations why was it ever released , why don't they just do the same as the linux kernel team and keep releasing beta versions until things seem ok?
Without the ISS the Russians would have kept Mir in orbit but under pressure from America they brought it down so the american side of the ISS isn't as magnanimous as the US government would like people to believe.
Yeah , it is , apart of course from the solar array , the escape pod , the living module and the control module. Which are russian. Oh and theres some japanese science modules too. Oh and training is currently done at Baikonaur (thats not in the good ole US-of-A incidentaly). Oh and you can only get there on a russian rocket at the moment. Apart from that its a 100% american effort!
Well said. Americans tend to me somewhat sniffy about the achivements of the former USSR which I've never understood. Mind you , your average yank probably couldn't even find moscow on a map so you can't expect them to understand russia (and ukraine etc) and their achivements. I wonder if someone pointed out to Leno that Mir might have been a bit of a clunker towards the end , but where exactly was the american equivalent? Oh thats right, Skylab was ditched 20 years ago and until the ISS the yanks didn't have a space station AT ALL!
I'm not a windows admin so I may have got the wrong end of the stick here , but I can't see
too many people getting excited over support for NT4 trust relationships just as MS is phasing NT4 out. Isn't this a classic example of too little too late since anyone who wanted NT with this functionality would have long ago gone the all MS route and is unlikely to suddenly want to zap their legacy NT4 servers and replace them with *nix and samba. Are they?
Ok , which 13 year old idiot moderator made the parent a troll?? He's quite correct about ldd , its a standard unix tool for gods sake thats available on every version of *nix out there. Just because it doesn't have a fluffy wuffy fwunt end for idiots doesn't mean that it can't be used!
I don't give a damn what books or code he's written , the way his quote has been presented makes it looks as if he doesn't think VPNs can
be compromised. Well I can assure you and him that they damn well can and I've been privy to it happening and if ATMs are on a VPN they'll eventually get hacked. Or would you claim otherwise?
Since when did company spokesmen or the decision makers ever have a clue about security? I imagine the IT guys in these places are pulling their hair out in frustration but the suits will make it happen anyway and then blame the IT people when it all goes t*ts up with a virus or a hack and the bank loses $$$. Its the way of the world I'm afraid.
50KW??? Ok , 5KW I could just about belive but not only would a 50KW AM amplifier be almost the same size as the trucks engine but it would pretty much kill any electronic equipment within a few hundred meters including whats in the truck itself! Sounds like an urban myth to me.
"Poor people are generally poor because they are either dumb, lazy, or both"
What a clueless moron you are. That may well be true in the affluent west where if you work hard you can better yourself but in some countries the children don't get a chance to be educated before they're out in the fields helping their parents grow food or even supporting their brothers and sisters after their parents have died from disease or war!
"They just want the government to hand them welfare and be done with it. "
Yeah , the welfare systems in africa and india are known to be the best in the world right! Jesus , get a clue you insular dick!
Thats what they've said about every display technology thats been invented in the last 100 years. What pundits and people such as yourself
ignore is human nature. Yes it could be done but most people (myself included) *like* having a stack of books they can browse through. It may well go some way towards replacing disposable printed media such as the daily paper or magazines , but books? No , don't think so.
Ok , so you type in a duff address and it routes you a default page. I mean whats the big deal? Who really gives a damn? This isn't meant to
be a troll but I really don't understand what the fuss is about. Its not like they're taking control of your browser or downloading spyware onto your system. Its just a simple web page which for newbies might even be useful. Please people , get a grip , stop foaming at the mouth , this really isn't a big deal.
Sure , MS are pushing CE in ICE and maybe cabin
control systems , but CE isn't used in the EMU. Besides , even MS would think twice about putting one of their OSs in an enviroment where a crash could cost 500 lives.

"Drag queens dress as a women to entertain, transvestites do it for other reasons (i.e. they like the feel of ladies underwear *shivers*)"
So drag queens just decided to wear womens clothes purely as a career choice? Yeah right, pull the other one.
"Btw, the currently accepted politically correct term is transgendered,"
You can go shove your politically correct terminology where the sun doesn't shine.
But I do have a drag name (even if I've never done it) of "Vaceline Di Yawn."
Vaceline eh? Bet that'll have them rolling in the aisles. The yawn is appropriate however.
Umm , a drag queen likes dressing in womens clothes and a transvestite likes um , dressing in womans clothes. Yeah , I can see the difference.

Well given the amount of bugs in 5.0, apparently not!

Any ETA of when 5.x will become STABLE? Since I like the new features but I can't put up with a flakey server.

the time being? Even though I use FreeBSD (though admittedly only as a backup OS to Linux) I'm confused by their release policy. At what minor

Though I'd prefer Delta Goodrem to sing it.

Does anyone (apart from truckers naturally) use CB radio anymore? Is it ever used in these sorts of scenarios?
