    If I had a nickel for every "I was in the Army and Iraq won't be a problem" comment from 2002...

    SMH people never learn.

    Iraq was not a problem for the Army in 2002. Iraq was a massive fuck up after the war but the Army rolled over all resistance in under 200 hours, the problems where after the war.

    If you feel that no candidate is worth voting for you should spoil your balot paper. When Micky Mouse wins an election people will pay attention at the moment you appear to be apathetic rather than consciously abstaining.

    It actually works in favour of organised religion because they can point to a reduction in the number of people having no religious beliefs.

    I and all my colleagues were asked to put Catholicism on our census or failing that any religion even a made up one on our census returns last year by our resident Catholic Zealot.

  13. Re:Uh.. no on Why You Shouldn't Reboot Unix Servers · · Score: 1

    Very few systems are so critical they can't have some planned downtime.

    Nothing is so critical that it cannot have planned down time, the more critical a system is the more down time it requires for planned maintenance. If the service cannot go down it need to be clustered preferably on different sites with different power etc.

    This is why the USA has the 25th amendment.

    However, rebooting is not a troubleshooting procedure it is a maintenance procedure.

  15. Re:How long will IPv6 last? on Military Pressuring Vendors On IPv6 · · Score: 1
    I have always assumed that consumer IP6 routers would have a statefull firewall with default incoming deny rule and a default allow rule for outgoing, as consumer IP4 routers do now.

    I would also assume that the web interface would identify each attached device by DNS if possible IP if not and have a drop down list of services to allow or deny incoming and outgoing access.

    Why is this worse than NAT? It gives you all the advantages of NAT without any of the problems, or am I feeding the trolls because there seems to be a huge NAT love in ever time IP6 is mentioned here?
