Tell you what - try remote managing a Win7/8 machine purely via the command line (of course you'll have to install sshd since MS don't bother to ship one) then get back to me about how much "better" the windows one is.
"A DNS query needs one packet each way, assuming the server has the answer cached."
Its pretty unlikely your local DNS server is going to have all the addresses in even a single web page cached , never mind an entire site. And if it doesn't then the query has to wander back up the DNS tree with all the packet passing that entails - which is what takes the time.
4% just possibly, 41%? Highly unlikely. The main slowdown on loading pages or any data is DNS lookup then the data itself. The time taken for actually doing all the TCP negotiation for a connection is trivial in comparison. Its only a few small packets after all.
There's nothing worse than being in a building where money was no object - for the machinary, but to hell with the staff. So at lunchtime you have to wander down to some dodgy joint to get some garbage for lunch because there's nothing else around and coffee comes curtesy of Mr Vend. Thanks, but I don't care how 733t the equipment is, I don't want to work somewhere like that again.
Depends how you look at it. Coax ethernet did to all intents and purposes use an RF signal and , though I'm not an electronics engineer, I can't see any reason why - interference aside - you couldn't simply have plugged it into an antenna and with some suitable RX/TX amps used it as wireless.
Hardly any 10 base T systems bother with the CDMA/CD system that original ethernet had , in fact its more like a serial protocol rather than a broadcast "in the ether" one now. WHy not just give it a new name?
They'll probably release 10 seconds of it and the rest you have to pay $$$ for the DVD. The fact that they're making a big thing out of it but giving away nothing I suspect means they'll find people giving them the finger when they actually try and sell any footage.
"China is a whole lot more complicated than your statement would have it."
I wasn't writing a dissertation on it , but as an overall soundbite it is a capitalist dictatorship.
"You use sweeping statements that cover the fact that you don't have any real knowledge about the subject."
And you're making out I was pretending those sweeping statements were the last word on the subject simply so you can argue the toss. Straw man anyone?
"Middle class guilt? It is in other words impossible to imagine that an educated person can simply be genuinely idealistic?"
Possibly, or stupid , but usually its guilt.
"I mean, the teachings of Christ do sound a lot like Socialism, so it is easy to imagine that Christians must suffer from middle class guilt as well, then."
Certainly guilt. Ask any catholic. Bit out of touch arn't you.
"And this is the standard whinge that we hear all the time from people like yourself when they can't come up with proper arguments."
And "can't come up with proper arguments" is usual whinge from lefties like you who don't like the argument put forward. Your idea of a "proper argument" is one which you agree with. End of.
"The thing is, when you are anti-something, then your opnions depend on that something; thus they are no longer under your control."
What total and utter crap. What Sociology for Dummies textbook did you parrot that out of? All opinions depend on some existing state, whether for or against. If they didn't they wouldn't be opinions, they'd be ideas. As for not being under your control, whatever, when you figure out what the hell you're talking about let me know because I have dont' have the first clue.
"There is a strange irony to the fact that these abuses arise from a combination of the kind of corruption typical of pre-Communist China and unfettered Western-style Capitalism. "
Its not rocket science - china is a capitalist dictatorship. The economic model has no bearing on the social model.
"On that background it is strange that so many of those that sympathise with Socialism are well-educated high-achievers, while so many of the most conservative and reactionary are found amongst those with little or no education."
Its not strange at all. A lot of high achievers suffer from middle class guilt complex and so tentatively support socialist policies to assuage that guilt. Meanwhile its natural that the people who actually suffer from socialist policies such as unfettered immigration are going to be against it.
Btw , "reactionary" is standard liberal lefty shorthand for right wing views they don't agree with. Same for "populist" which The Guardian is so fond of using. As if a view being popular by a demographic other than psudo intellectual liberals somehow renders it null and void.
The functionality of synth equipment that used to fill a room can now be done on a laptop with a synth + sampler package these days. Probably even on a smartphone TBH. I don't see the point.
Lets hope so. If a large fracture does open it'll be potentially unkillable and a large proportion of the contents of the field could escape into the ocean until the pressure is equalised making the wellhead spill seem like a small pot of ink.
Given that artic drilling has been given the go ahead by various countries in water twice as deep and much colder with consequently little potential baterial cleanup if theres a spill, I doubt the powers that be really give a damn. So long as government get their taxes, the oilmen get their profits and idiots can drive 15mpg 2.5 ton SUVs to go to the supermarket it seems the enviroment doesn't matter.
Not at the wellhead but oil matching the signature of the Macondo field is (or was earlier this year) leaking out of the seabed from somewhere. If the oil has found a fracture line out of the bottom of the dead well then to quote the song , There could be trouble ahead...
"I have been a clear capitalist in the past. It is behind me now."
Oh right, a road to damascus conversion due to self inflicted guilt or some other BS and now you're trying to make up for it. *yawn*
"from people who have such an obvious drum to beat."
You mean people like that russian guy who's grandmother had first hand experience? Yeah , what would he know. He only lived there.
You're priceless.
"is everyone who died prematurely because they couldn't afford the best healthcare or food a casualty of capitalism?"
Ah , the usual twisting of logic. Because someone gets private treatment then in your lefty brain that means someone else suffers whereas in actual fact it usually means theres more public money available for everyone else because that person did use not public funds.
Anyway , its been fun but I have work to do so enjoy dreaming about your communist nirvana. Or better yet - go live in cuba or north korea.
"Unless you are very old, you are making shit up."
No I'm not "making shit up". Street kids doesn't mean homeless, it just means kids hanging around day and night doing nothing. Go down to any london council estate and you'll see them.
"It is easy to think you are seeing the whole picture."
Whatever. I only know what I see. If there are thousands of homeless down in some basement somewhere then obviously they hid from me in the all the time I've spent there. *shrug*
Ignore her - she's just a clueless marxist apologist. Probably a student. No amount of facts or personal anecdotes will persuade her that her beloved communist system was anything more than an evil experiment that caused millions of deaths and even more misery.
Of course there's homelessness there. There's homelessness in london for gods sake. But its hardly 3rd world level and in fact I see more beggars and street kids in london than I ever did in Kiev. Its not like I stay in some posh hotel and only notice the locals when I step over them at the entrance either. I stay with my inlaws in a standard tower block in a standard suburb and they work in factories so they're not rich. If that doesn't give me a taste of normal life there then nothing will. I somehow doubt the authorities clean up the streets just before I come wandering along.
"Eh? Heath was captain of the ship until 1974 - he steered us with America and Europe and set the scene"
Then wilson and callagham came along, rolled over to the unions and pissed our industry up the wall.
"What problem do you have with the word "imperialism"? It merely describes subjugation of other nations to obtain cheap resources, labour or military advantage"
Nothing is wrong with the word itself when used in its proper context. - which would generally would cover most large nations on the planet at some point in their history. Its when its aimed pejoratively and specifically at the west and britain in particular that I get pissed off. If the USSRs subjugation of eastern europe wasn't imperialist I don't know what was.
"I can't believe that most people still believe this."
Yes, because believing lies instead peddled by the left to justify their own botched policies is much easier isn't it.
"Imperialist "
Oh dear, we're down to student debating society level already. What next , "patriarchal" or perhaps something ending in "ist" or "ism"?
"becoming the laughable shell of a nation that it is today."
Right, because 13 years of Labour mismanagement had nothing to do with that did it. You are REALLY in denial.
"pathetic, authoritarian, second-rate males"
Unlike the creme de la creme of manly intellect at the top of Labour at the time such as Micheal Foot, Kinnock or Tony wrong-about-everything Benn, oh , wait....
"Implying that the Ukraine was ruled like Russia under Soviet control."
It was.
"Implying that the Ukraine is ruled like Russia now."
It is. In case you hadn't noticed the Orange revolution failed and Timoshenko is now a political prisoner of the former mafia thug - now president - Victor Yanukovich.
"which many people cannot afford."
They can afford it. I suggest you visit there one day. Sure, there are poor people but not on the scale of india or africa and they're a long way from starving.
"On a personal note - if, Violet, you and your partner are lesbians,"

"It uses the same connectors, "
I take it you've never seen coax ethernet then. Those connectors have nothing in common with the phone style ones used now.
Depends how you look at it. Coax ethernet did to all intents and purposes use an RF signal and , though I'm not an electronics engineer, I can't see any reason why - interference aside - you couldn't simply have plugged it into an antenna and with some suitable RX/TX amps used it as wireless.

Try block of flats and petrol station, but thanks for playing. Next time you try to be funny - actually try.
"apartment complex" , "gas station"? These are not terms the average Brit uses. Unless you're an american ex-pat of course.
