Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have a pointer to your particular object it doesn't have to be 64bits long. Unless of course the address is longer than 32bits, but that doesn't happen unless there's a shitload of ram in the machine.
Or am I missing something?
That too. Then again, a sysadmin using windows is hardly a sysadmin. I don't know about you, but I reserve the title sysadmin for people who administer systems.
Sysadmins of such networks really should block all ports except for the ones they really need. I don't even think they realise what the consequences of their lack of security can be! Shame on them!

Now this is the lamest remark I have ever seen.
Humour me and tell me who (or what) gives a flying piece of crap when you use encryption. Do you honestly believe that it is at this very moment impossible (for the government or your isp or.. ) to see whether your connection is encrypted? Of course it's possible. Do you think they care? Of course not! .
However, if 25 children have been raped in your neighbourhood and you frequent "adult video stores" and ask the kind people there whether they have videos of "younger people" THEN you will be in shit. THEN people will start to wonder what it is you're encrypting.
You need to show a little more faith in the legal institution. You're honestly not going to jail for doing, well, nothing illegal.

I don't see why all you people (*COUGHS* BRITISH XENOPHOBES *COUGHS*) are so against ID cards. It's a solid way or proving your identity.
I've heard ludicrous arguments, such as "It makes not carrying your card a criminal act", wel excuuuuuuseeeeeeeee me but people with that argument have suffered serious brain damage while they were attempting to build a wall around their island or something.
Face it.. privacy is dead. It died a very long time ago and no one gave a fuck. Now all of a sudden people are crying bloody murder..
I'll tell you something... The EU's new Privacy Laws require the owner of any network (aka everybody) to save the localisation (aka which user is where) and identification (aka who is who) data for at least a year. I have been fighting this law for TWO years now, and not once has anyone given a fuck. People just don't seem to realise what that means. Aside from wasting countless of terabytes of storage it also means that I can trace where you were yesterday morning at 11am, because a cell phone network is also a network.
Have a nice day.

The first thing that popped out on the Cyberangels site is the word "virii". Looks like there is no end to the number of stupid people in the world.
First of: the Latin word "virus" means "mucus" or "slime". Which means the words do not relate.
The plural of this particular Latin word is "viri". Not "virii". "Virii" simply does not exist.
Since the word "virus" in its present form is not at all related to our Roman friends it is pointless to make up your own little Latin plural form.
Get a clue people.
Actually if you were REALLY paying attention to the mailing list you would notice that the current focus is not on features but on BUG FIXES. Maybe you're having trouble reading or something, or maybe you don't read the mailing list at all. But please do shut up when you don't know what you're talking about.
Then again, had you read the interview you would've noticed that the 0.4.5 release will be the bugfix release. Guess you didn't read that either huh.
You know it wouldn't hurt if you tried it sometimes before pounding it into the ground. Who cares about the looks? They can always be changed when the OS is stable enough. It takes 10 seconds to modify a layout.
How is it similar to Linux, OSX and Windows? Just because it's decently (well 90% or so) POSIX compliant? Because it has a BASH implementation and uses Grub? Other from that it isn't similar at all (except driver ports and such but that's not at all what you mean). Linux and Windows and (*insert favourite ancient OS here*) are all prehistoric code with a fancy layout on top. Or in Linux' case, with no layout on top. Syllable doesn't have to go through all the utter crap of installing x and picking a favourite desktop manager and then coming to the conclusion that this particular desktop manager doesn't run this particular application.
Syllable has a console, but the console resides within the GUI, and not the other way around.

I wouldn't give a sh*t if someone built 75000 wind mills in my backyard. Hell I would welcome it. Why do people keep bitching about it? It looks kewl (it moves.. it beats grass or sand!) it prevents annoying pigeons from waking me up in the morning (it'll scare them off) and it gives off POWER.
And don't give me any of that 'it spoils the view'-crap. Or the 'those things are noisy'-scam.. they're not any more noisy than the wonderful highway next to my door!
We have those here in Belgium (Telenet) though right now only for companies. Home users get a coax link to the fibre backbone. In Holland (I think in Amsterdam anyway) the city is going to build a mega fibre network that will allow everybody to hook up directly to it.
Gotta love the linux community.. you're nothing but a bunch of PATHETIC people. Kids really. I guess the good old saying "Linux is for those who hate windows, BSD is for those who love UNIX" is correct huh. You people are sad, very sad.
