    Nuclear weapons have done more for peace than any other invention in the history of the human race. No-one can risk fighting a major war any more.

    Nobody rational can risk fighting a major war anymore.

    But watching the news lately, there is plenty of people out there that do not fall in that category and are happy to destroy the world just because the ${DIETY} told them.

    What's left to say that hasn't already been said?

    I never heard the officials explaining why getting a warrant is a problem. Would that prevent them from protecting the POTUS or investigating a crime?

    Actually Europe is moving to contactless cards (to the level that you are not even offered cards that are not contactless) - which means you don't even have to punch in the pin most of the time. That solves the complaint about "slowing things down". I personally do not trust that as far as I can throw the merchant.

    You did no understand me. I'm saying that it is invalid argument that Snowden is not leaving Russia because US agents could get him if he did. It is invalid because US agents could get him in Russia just like they could get him outside of Russia. If they really wanted.

    Her fiduciary responsibility as CEO of a corporation was to maximize profits, thus maximizing returns to shareholders.

    The best thing Fiorini ever did for shareholders was to get fired -- HP share prices jumped 7% the day she left the company.

    If only she could have been fired twice. Or ten times. The share prices would skyrocket.

    Why didn't you just use the windows media creation tool and skip all of that work? http://windows.microsoft.com/e...

    Can you tell me why should I download a program that is supposed just to download a .iso? And can anybody tell me what is it doing when it is "Verifying my download" and why it needs 10 minutes "Creating Windows 10 media" after the network transfer finishes? And if I run it twice, why do I get a different thing every time?

    It does not build much confidence in paranoid people like me.

    1) Download ISO from here:

    From my experience this page allows to download a .iso if you access it from Linux. When accessing from Windows it redirects to the "media creation tool".

  22. Re:Move to the latest version? on America Runs Out of IPv4 Internet Addresses · · Score: 1

    And, thus, people like yourself don't understand enough to be worried about having to plug in an IPv6 address anyway.

    Who is going to do it on my LAN if not me?

    Seriously, do you sit and hand-craft your local DNS zones for each individual machine?

    No, I run a DHCP server that dynamically updates my DNS server. However with IPv6 we are supposed to do away with DHCP and can use something like radvd. With that however the address is created by the client and the client has to update the DNS server. That means that rather than keeping the DHCP server up to date and keeping the DDNS signing key secure on one machine, I have to do that now on all clients. Mhm, perhaps DHCPv6 still isn't such a bad idea ... um ...

    Perhaps people like yourself could do a better job explaining it to the noobs like me?

    Ah right. I live in the socialist Europe and every car has to undergo a technical and emission test every few years. The advantage is that you mostly meet cars on the street that are not a total junk with not working breaks, lights, leaking fluids and polluting environment - i.e. generally not dangerous

    Why do you even have certification procedure when it is enough to pass a test once in the lifetime of the car? Looks like a waste of money.
