  1. Re:name on Johansen Cracks AirPort Express Encryption · · Score: 1

    Well, here's a stupid guess:

    Air => the air around you where gentle waves spread in complicated motions
    Port => like a serial port, a parallel port, an ethernet port, etc...
    AirPort => how neat: when you glue the two previous words, the concatenation has a meaning! What a killer name!

    It's just a funny way of describig a wireless interface. :)

    Wait until he starts singing. Now THAT is scary ^^

  3. Re:Well this is all due to our hero... on Marine Finds Duct Tape on Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mac Gyver sucks. The A-Team would have duct taped all the weapons together on the front ok a huge kick-ass custom-armored tractor.

    Of course, it would have involved drugs to get Mr.T to fly to Mars...

  4. Re:eh? on Debian Aims For September Release Date · · Score: 1

    That might be a good thing indeed :)

    Like a lot of people, i also ran into some troubles during my first experience with an 'unstable' debian setup. Mainly because i was updating/upgrading first thing every morning at work. This is definitely *not* a wise thing to do, as when doing this every single day, you're sure to run into every serious package trouble as soon as they're delivered :). And even though nothing was ever really serious, it already happened to me to lose X11 and to go hunting for the fix using a text-mode IRC client...

    The two 'wise' behaviours would be to not upgrade every single day just because you can, and first checking on the web or on the IRC channel (better) if there are any critical packages broken. The IRC channel topic and the news functions of the local bot usually provide this kind of information.

  5. Re:eh? on Debian Aims For September Release Date · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I prefer the Fedora Core model of having a new stable platform every six months and doing a major upgrade at that time, so I can schedule and dedicate time to work out upgrading errors Eh... Why don't you 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' every six months then, for example ? :)

  6. Re:Island? on Sites Shut Down to Protest Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, i just signed it myself from the same island. I suggest you have a look at 'Eire' :).
