  1. Re:Another problem on How Android Phone Makers Are Missing the Marketing Boat · · Score: 1

    That ad for what you can do with the iPhone was actually an ad for what you can do with iOS.

    And people were disappointed when they could not browse internet at the same speeds as depicted in that ad.

  2. Re:so use two CDs on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Won't Fit On a CD · · Score: 1

    How hard is it to put the optional stuff on a second CD?

    Lets replace "own citizens" with "foreign nationals" and blacklist USA.

  4. Creator of X says that x is the best thing on Godfather of Xen On Why Virtualization Means Everything · · Score: 2

    In other conferences Microsoft says that Windows Advanced server is the best tool for the job, drug dealers show benefits of increased cocain use and Hitler says that final solution to the Jewish question improves German ecosystem.

    Virtualization also leads to resource overbooking. If I run on two physical X5355 Xeons, I know that I have two physical X5355s at my disposal. If I run on two virtual X5355, I can't tell if provider does not use same X5355s for other clients.

  5. Re:Not provably secure on OpenBSD 5.0 Unleashed On the World · · Score: 1

    There you go, raising that tired old misconception that the only security work OpenBSD team did was to "secure the base install only".

    Then maybe OpenBSD should stop emphasizing that on their front page.

  6. Re:Russia and France are loving this! on Belgium To Give Up Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    As efficiency continues to scale up

    You can't scale up beyond 100%. Some old dude Newton invented law about it.

  7. Re:Not provably secure on OpenBSD 5.0 Unleashed On the World · · Score: 1

    Just find a remote exploit or two.

    How many remote services OpenBSD has in base install? How fast OpenBSD can downplay importance of remote exploit? How many people run only base install?

    People might praise OpenBSD for their docs, until they find piece of documentation which does not match actual system function and system function is fubared.

  8. Re:Update & security responsiveness on How Can I Justify Using Red Hat When CentOS Exists? · · Score: 1

    Let's start with the packages. Let's say there's a major exploit in SSHd, you will likely see a fix from Red Hat

    Let's say there is a bug introduced into the package by doggy RHEL patch. How fast can this be fixed? My current experience says that it will never be fixed. Your company keeps postponing bug report.

    Doesn't the DMCA have exceptions for interoperability purposes?

    It does, but sanctions for using DMCA to harass others are missing.

  11. Re:Master Card Opt Out on Mastercard, Visa To Help Target Ads · · Score: 1

    Anyone know if there's something similar for Visa?

    All cards have similar options. You go to your bank and cancel your card based on privacy violation. It is also against some privacy laws to disclose that kind of information.

  12. Re:Huh? on Why Tokai No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant Survived March · · Score: 0

    Then the tsunami came. Japan Atomic Power's wall was good enough. TEPCO's wall still was not good enough.

    JAP was lucky. They still had two pumps working after being overrun. TEPCO was not so lucky. You can't just build a bigger wall to avoid tsunami.
