  3. Minimizes Defense Spending on Need a Receipt On Taxes? The Federal Tax Receipt · · Score: 1

    The defense numbers seem suspiciously low even after I factor for the fact that they don't include veterans benefits or the interest on defense spending in the defense category.

    I must have missed the part of the 1st amendment that allows an exception for "Secret" information. These people swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. By even bringing this up they are breaking their oath.

    OK now you are switching the subject. I said it works in Linux not Ubuntu. Specifically it works on Gentoo(My guess is that it probably works on quite a few other distros as well). If you want to cherry pick a distribution that it doesn't work on you could probably be right about just about anything not working on Linux.

  7. Re:Ubuntu not ready! on Shuttleworth Suggests 1-Way Valve For User Experience Testing · · Score: 1

    So what you are saying is an OS that hasn't even been released supports it. Linux has had support since June 10, 2009. In my book that means Linux beat them by 4 months. Also it does work on Linux all you need is 2.6.30 and Xorg 7.5(possibly compiz too I don't remember) Just because you aren't intelligent enough figure it out doesn't mean that it doesn't work.

    Since when? Almost all new SATA controllers support AHCI. AHCI supports hot add and hot remove. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Host_Controller_Interface

  9. Re:Ubuntu not ready! on Shuttleworth Suggests 1-Way Valve For User Experience Testing · · Score: 1

    You probably shouldn't tell others that they are full of shit when you are also spouting BS. I know for a fact that Linux has multi touch support in 2.6.30.

    You need to double that as the antimatter would react with an equal amount of regular matter but I think there must be some other flaw in your calculations as according to wikipedia 1 gram of antimatter would be equal to 43 kilotons of TNT.

  12. Re:No Immunity on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    By wikipedias defininition that would be ex post facto sisnc it changes the legal consequences retroactively. "An ex post facto law (from the Latin for "from something done afterward") or retroactive law, is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences of acts committed or the legal status of facts and relationships that existed prior to the enactment of the law."

  13. Re:No Immunity on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 2, Informative

    Congress doesn't even have the authority to give telco's retroactive immunity. Did they miss this part of the constitution? Article 1 Section 9 "No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."

  14. Linux Client Sucks on EVE-Online Patch Makes XP Unbootable · · Score: 1

    Who really cares about this it only affects Windows users and is trivial to fix. Im much more disappointed in CCP saying they now support Linux but they don't provide a Linux version of the new premium client. They also don't give a date for its deployment(they say something like possibly if we feel like it and Cedega cooperates possibly next year)

  16. Re:Whiskey Tango Foxtrot on One Failed NIC Strands 20,000 At LAX · · Score: 1

    Not really most likely it was a STP issue in the Netgear case(Damn unmanaged switches with no/bad STP support). Basically what you end up with is a loop which can cause switch CPU to go to 100% even on 6500's which makes tracing it interesting. Fastest way is to start poping cards until it becomes responsive then isolate to a port. I don't like putting portfast on user ports anymore because of this.

  17. Re:I work for a very big Cisco shop on Duke Wireless Problem Caused by Cisco, not iPhone · · Score: 1

    I call BS on this. We have 1000's of HP and Sun boxes on my DC network that all auto-negotiate fine with my 6513's. In the far past there was a Sun bug that broke autonegotiation on certain Sun adapters that was caused by Sun not following the RFC's. I believe this has been fixed in Solaris 9. Chad

    At that point why not put / on dm-crypt as well? I've been running like this for quite a while. Put the key on something small and easy to destroy like a transflash card that could easily be destroyed with a pair of pliers or a very small container of strong acid.

    When I switch VT's on my Gentoo box every VT has a logon prompt. KDE3.4 and some earlier versions have sessions and easy user switching. As to the bottom part there are the various hotplug daemons that autoload kernel modules and if you are actually talking about upgrading the version of a module then usualy you are compiling a new kernel as well which will require a reboot anyways.

    NAT is not a security feature it was never meant to be! I don't know how many times this needs to be said. If you want security use a Firewall. If you want many to one mappings use NAT.

    Yeah but when you try to d/l it asks for a Nortel customer logon to check entitlement. Nortel gives you their Windows client for free with the box but for every other version you need you pay extra. Thats everyone should boycott Nortel VPN products. Cisco gives you all of their clients when you buy a concentrator.
