  1. Re:Perhaps... on OpenBSD CVS RAID Array Failing, Needs Replacement · · Score: 1
    You mean the DARPA money via POSSE? Which was set to expire mear months prior to it's cancellation?

    As no corperation I've hear of specifically goes out of their way to support Open Source software beyond AMD, I find it unlikely that everyone is going to be able to completely stop buying from other companies.

    Chill man, slow your role. This guy was just doing a troll, everyone with a brain in their head that has been reading Slashdot should be aware of the anti-GPL stance of the OpenBSD team; so it is obviously just a person trying to get a rise out of pissing people off.

    Leave the trolls to their starving, feeding them never helps.

    Indeed, charmed, I'm sure.

    No, in the sense which I used the word posting it was used as a noun and not a verb. Much like entry, which is an action in one sense of the word and an object in another. It seems that within your pursuit of higher ground ('a leg up'), you failed to even check to see if there was an appropriate meaning to the word as I had used it.

    Your reaction is what is referred to as an "over reaction" in "ignorance", this is not really a bad thing, it simply means you do not know the full spectrum of the English language.

    That is correct, I saw no multiple meanings within your posting. The only meaning you had was to call me a rotten sod for not posting where I first read something and doesn't really confront me at all. If it had bothered me I would have tracked the original source and had it in my first post in this thread. So as it stands the purpose of further discussion is more to irritate those that would have me do their googling for them than anything else (oh look, I used a verb as a verb).

    It has ammused me that people find the desire to further discuss after I have refused an action, it is not as though they can convince me to change my mind.

    That is correct. One thing I find with your posting however is that it reads poorly, mayhaps if you'd posed it in a different manner.

    "So, let me get this straight, you had the time and inclination to:

    * carry on a completely inane conversation,
    * compare your situation to that of a societies encouraging independence in their weak and
    * ultimately have produced more bullshit than you had originally

    Yet not to use Google for a moment to provide a link, you imbecile!"

    Oh yes, that looks much better. You'll note I have now made yet another post and still have not done the work I refused to do from the start.

    Depending on your topic it is sometimes hard to weed out the good from the bad, however, that is not so much a problem with the words used as the fact that businesses seek to ruin searches such as that one.

    Anything regarding popular technologies and ideas will be smothered by bad links, such is life and the nature of humanity; rotten.

    As Google is not the only search engine it is often wise to consult others if you are having a hard time.

  7. Re:Hand-up != hand-out on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1
    If this person was smart enough to find their way to Slashdot and learn to type semi-coherent statements then they are smart enough to know how to use Google. They should require no more beyond those skills than the ability to think independantly, their inability to do so is their own problem which they themselves must solve.

    I view aiding people that seem to genuinely require assistance as a good thing, but helping idiots never amounts to good, it generally only wastes resources.

  8. Re:Already on the DS on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1
    In still other culters it is incouraged to let the weak die off or become stronger on their own, because giving people hand-outs will only deepen their dependance on them.

    It is a fine line to walk, aiding others; if you go too far you are not helping them but making them worse instead.

    No, I know what mimic means:

    IE: That was either Theo or a person which is skilled in simulating his style of typing.

    A meme however would be the idea of security being important.

    Looks like you need to read harder: NetBSD/xen can run in both privileged and unprivileged virtual machines under Xen 1.2, and in unprivileged virtual machines under Xen 2.0. Perhaps that is the why of it?

    The idea of the massive scalability of the processors is what made them the fucking bomb, if they had been properly developed under HP's ownership 64 of these suckers would have been very impressive indeed.

    Unfortunately, HP just spent money on buying something to let it die, like everything about Compaq and VAX, for as you can see Tru64 is doing really well with HP's massive backing.

    I wasn't referring to the stupidity of letting a good architecture wither, I was talking about buying it to let it wither.

    I have to agree with Cyc here Eivind, you can just skip explaining the logo...

    Perhaps instead of trying to explain it, just start explaining the technical merits of the system. If you don't give them a chance to be idiots they may not bother you about it.

    I don't really think SuSE was constantly explaining their chameleon at press releases, and OpenBSD hasn't been explaining their puffer fish. Plus OpenBSD and SuSE seem to have done alright without having some random shape for their logo.

    If there are these discussions all the time and you still keep the daemon doesn't that mean something about how it's a whiney minority trying to pester you into something? Just tell the person to STFU and RTFA (archive, not article).
