  1. Re:Which only makes sense on Data Centers Expected to Pollute More Than Airlines by 2020 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    wrong. by 2020 EVERYTHING will be too expensive due to poor economic policy based on non science and fear mongering.

  2. false economies on Data Centers Expected to Pollute More Than Airlines by 2020 · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I love it when they trot out these old war horses.

    let me ask you this - what resources would be consumed if we DIDN'T use computers for these jobs? how many forests would we cut down to store the data in the worlds data centers?

    i think people who write this kind of dribble lack any perspective. computers are energy savers, not wasters.

    OH BULLSHIT! sure america isn't perfect, but it's legal to beat your wife if she "dishonors" you in iran. which society do you think is more moral?

    your just another mindless sheep following the let's hate america because it's cool crowd.

    you aren't going to score any kind of points against these guys. they don't give a fuck what you or NYCL thinks, they just go home and roll around in their piles of money, doing the Dr Evil laugh.

    I remeber trying to install slackware (7 i think) and it was so painful i had to burn the cd, least anyone else ever attempt to use it.

  7. they never did show any infringment did they? on SCO's McBride Testifies "Linux Is a copy of UNIX" · · Score: 1
    this whole saga has gone on for years now, i can't ever remeber them showing any kind of proof that linux has in fact got unix code in it anyway?

    anyway, mcbride has been very entertaining, in the same way funniest home video's is entertaining when some moron gets hit in the nuts.

    there's no books on how to program unix either. linux and unix are not programming languages. there is however LOTS of books on how to write programs FOR unix AND linux....

  13. yet another bogus /. headline on Wikipedia Blocks Suspicious Edits From DoJ · · Score: 1
    you people bitch about fox news, but what i'm seeing from /. these days is worse.

    wikipedia can't "overrule" the DOJ since it's their own fucking website. who is going to rule against them, santa claus? maybe Elvis?

    how about we try dropping the sensationalist headlines for a day ok.

  14. who is linking this to the backbone? on Spammers Hijacking IP Space · · Score: 2, Insightful
    this has a very simple fix. major backbone providers like at&t need to cease routing from providers who allow this kind of misconfiguration of the internet.

    because that's all it is, a mid level isp has added someone to their routing tables with ip's that they have no right to. simply telling their provider to correct their configurations or all their traffic will be dropped should be enough, indeed it should be mandatory for backbone providers to do this in order for them to legally keep their own ip ranges. anything else is asking for people to start claiming ip's all over the place and before you know it each isp will route you to a different site for the same ip, making the internet useless.

    DO what i did, change careers but do something where IT supplements your job but isn't it's focus. that way you can pick up a high paying job using your existing experience and get out of the rut.

    Who gives a fuck about the cops? even if they catch him he'll only get a year or 2 at the very most, mostly likely a suspended sentence.

    the real reason for video is to see what the asshole looks like, because 99% of the time they are a local who doesn't live very far away themselves. once you have his picture put up some flyers stating there is a $100 reward for anyone who provides his home address (scum bags roll on each other for very little).

    then you just get some of the boys together and have yourself some old fashioned mob justice.

    Well when you've got such a low starting point it's not hard to improve is it? i think this deserves a dilbert comic, something like marketing showing a 100% increase when they only sold 1 extra unit.
