  1. Re:VMWare rocks but... on Virtualization Decreases Security · · Score: 1

    VMs do add some interesting security twists...especially giving people root access they can have lots of fun with network access (ping -f works:) (L2/L3) and mess with the operation of other virtual machines by configuring bridges and stealing data transiting the network. Not necessarily. For example, in VMware ESX server the default configuration is that a VM can not switch any of its virtual NIC's to promiscuous mode unless explicitly allowed to do so.
  2. Re:both are illogical even on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1

    Base 10 isn't special either.

    Maybe for someone who lost a finger to an accident it isn't!

  3. Re:SSH on Carnegie Mellon Resists FBI Tapping Requirement · · Score: 1

    Probably in a few hours if you invented it.

    We can't mod articles as -1 Troll.

  5. Re:Protest on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: I am Turkish as well.

    The story is not bullshit. Read the NTVMSNBC story again. He is convicted from "helping/harboring terrorists". What the hell were the people who wrote these laws smoking... Do you think people should be jailed because they have "PKK symphatising" material found on their computers? How is this "helping" terrorists? So what if the guy is editing the Kurdish section of DMOZ. PKK and the Kurdish struggle/armed separatist movement etc. is an objective fact in the history of the Kurdish ethnic group.

    Although I have no word to describe my hate towards those who killed innocent Turkish civilians, I still stand for freedom of speech. These people should have every right to make their case. They should be able to publicly express and debate their requests for independence. I believe the situation would be much healthier in that case. They would have no justification (that we approve or not) for armed resistance, and they can't even persuade the Kurdish people in Turkey to vote for separation. I would say, if you hold referandum in the southeast, ~60% would vote against separation.
