  1. Re:I'm sure this is on the money, but on Microsoft Developer Explains Why Windows Kernel Development Falls Behind · · Score: 1

    Politics my friend, it is all down to politics, successful companies sooner or later create these little islands of power inside their organizations, when that happens nothings else ever happens.

    Everybody kills off anything that has the perception of breaking the status quo.

    The moral is to make your success vast while keeping your organization as small as you possible can.

  2. Re:Accidentally, or not? on Misconfigured Open DNS Resolvers Key To Massive DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    This has to do with not good thought out default settings of the various DNS servers out there, but also has to do with people running too old DNS servers.
    You can restrict recursing resolve based on source IP, groups of IP or subnets.
    First I do is define an internal mode and an external mode where external mode only sees an authoritive server and the internal mode can do recursed resolving.

    It lives in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on windows systems at least up till win7.

    This info is brough by a Linux user... :-)

  7. Re:A nuclear first strike... on Firefox Will Soon Block Third-Party Cookies · · Score: 2

    I dunno about others but when a site refuses to show content without me unblocking scrips it will just get ignored.
    b.t.w. US sites are really the worse with sometimes 15 or more scripts and most of them 3rd party.

    Besides, unless advertisers find a way to serve me from 127.0.0.1, they will not do anything as I couldn't care less about their whining because I do not want their bought for web anyway.
    They can keep their 80% of their paid for web and stick it where daylight is not showing as it's all cheapo losers crap anyway.

    I see...

    Another post being marked troll because the overlords don't like the message, Slashdot is becoming unbearable as platform.

    I hope somebody with mod points will change this back to at least neutral.

  10. How convenient. on Copyright Claim Thwarts North Korean Propaganda · · Score: 0

    Censoring by copyright, the law is working well for the masters.

    However, not that one should like the North Korean proganda makers, but that is besides the point here.

    Knowing the reputation of various UK administrations, it will be put to use to spy on people and fine them for small misdemeanors.

    Yes, and he should have copied the environment that gave access to his subcontractors and make the copied environment update at his employers environment by scripting.

    He was only half smart, his lazyness did him under.

    I appaud his idea as he did the same that most corporations do, but he was sloppy doing it.

    Bull, every company has insurance for mistakes by workers, the patent office should have too.

    Accountabillity and damages go hand in hand, if the system awards damages to certain parties then the system has to hold to the same standards, otherwise you can call it corruption.

    Sorry to distract to a sideline of this conversation but the Gnome thing is a symptom of a wider problem in the GNU/Linux world at this moment.

    There is a war going on, a pityful money grabbing one packaged as an idiological one.

    Simple said, Canonical and Red Hat are both undermining the GPL by changing the progammable environment into extreme complex beasts so that all others (not backed by lots of r&d money and lawyers) lose entrance to the material wheter it is GPL or not does not matter anymore, the entrance is too high.
    They do it under a guise of having idiological Issues with each other, one backing Gnome and the other Unity.

    Recently even the Kernel developers got caught into this mess, having Linus calling some maintainer of UDEV a lier.
    Google UDEV and systemd to see the whole gory mess, and mind my words, this is only the beginning of the troubles in GNU/Linux land.

  22. Re:Right conclusion, wrong reasoning on Fabricating Nature and a Physical Turing Test · · Score: 1

    Surfaces are the photo of the real object, the trouble with surfaces is that you have to calculate the deception, and in the end the real thing will need much less energy.

    We would not be able to be here if nature wasn't so efficient as it is, so taking natures algorithms and paterns to solve our space/time dilemma's is not such a bad idea.

  23. jailbait... on In Mississippi: 15-Year Jail Sentence For Selling Pirated Movies and Music · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It seems you got more chance to get a minimal sentence when you shoot your procecutor than copy a few disks.

    This sort of imbalances in the judicial system will cost the country dearly in the end.
