  1. Re:Repeat after me on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    Not being American (or a lawyer, no matter how many feathers), I'm often amazed by the amount of use of the U.S. Constitutional Amendments. I'm equally amazed by any possible misinterpretation of said amendments. The DMA feels that the list is unconstitutional (it's anti-free speech). The parent states that: "the right of free speech does not entitle one to an audience." Is there a right NOT to be an audience? If so, blocking the list is unconstitutional - would it not?

    ..probably should have used the wording from Term 2. Not that you spelled a domain incorrectly, but you accessed the system by initiating a DNS query for a non-existent domain. Unfortunately, it seems that you've already accepted the terms. I don't like it anymore than you do, really, I don't..
    But let me try this agreement stuff:
    By reading this comment, you agree to always wear red socks.

    Check out point 14. If you spell a domain incorrectly, your accept the terms:
    14. AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND.
    By using the service(s) provided by VeriSign under these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions here in and documents incorporated by reference.

    ...or fined up to 5000 pounds of flesh.
    Sorry, had to, but wouldn't that be an even better deterrent?

    Let's just wait for the anti-antitrust IIS patch next week.

  6. Re:RTFM on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    agree. I wasn't trying to back the reasoning only provide an explanation to the 'why?'. It only serves as an example to bad foresight that lead to these annoyances.

    From scp(1):

    -P port
    Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Note that
    this option is written with a capital 'P', because -p is already
    reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in
    rcp(1).
