What the fuck is this crap? Ignorant drivel from people to stupid to know what Afghanis real problems are?
Let me give you a hint, society is fully functional without the Internet when you can actually eat. The Internet is worthless when you can't eat, or get your head blown off for showing your face or standing up for your self.
People dying of starvation and lack of clean water really don't give a flying fuck about the Internet, and they don't NEED the Internet to solve those problems.
This sort of utter ignorance is an example of why some groups over there want to blow us up, and frankly, we'd deserve it if this were a common feeling among our populations. Fortunately, most of us are not still in high school or tweens like the author.
No. They are politicians. They're life depends on people knowing they exist and lying to them. They will use ever vehicle in the known world to do so. This isn't new.
Oh, and neither Merkel nor Putin post on Twitter any more than Oprah does. If you think they do, you have no idea how politics works.
Every freaking year, the bird/swine/carbonfiber/alien flu is going to kill us all... and yet... nothing happens different than the year before.
I remember a couple years back, the CDC was putting people on television talking about how its the worst epidemic they've ever seen, pandemic, catastrophe, this is the worst we've ever seen!!! (Yes, I said it twice in the same sentence... just like they did.
But you go to their website... and the year was actually statistically below the previous several years, and lower than the rolling average of the last 20 or so years.
My sister-in-law came home from the doctor and said OMFG I HAVE H1N1!!?!!
Guess what, SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE, thats the standard fucking strain of flu that floats around 98% of the fucking time. And saying 'H1N1' doesn't mean shit, thats a CLASS of virus, not a specific strain. H1N1 is not special, its more or less the definition of opposite of special.
The CDC has turned into a fear mongering agency just trying to get themselves more money and the hypochondriacs of the world eat it up and wear their shitty little $0.99 face masks that have absolutely no effect what so ever on virus transmission as they aren't that type of filter, nor do they fit the face well enough to actually filter the majority of your breathing air, which comes in around the side. They are extremely useful to prevent a doctor from breathing directly into an open wound/surgical incision, thats it.
Everything was previously tied to your 'Google' account, now you have to... I don't know, click 'Join G+' then skip a few times to not give it any extra info? You already have an account with them, what exactly are you freaking out about? And how exactly did reader compete with G+?
XMPP federation still works perfectly fine, I use it every single day.
Theres a checkbox on a settings page somewhere that you can turn off chat logging, I know this because I once turned it off and then forgot where the hell it was to turn it back on. Took me a while.
Pardon my complete ignorance... whats the answer, or could you explain the point of the question more? My only response is 'thats a stupid question, it can't work that way unless they are breeding in the room, in which case, I have no idea how many are left?', so can someone enlighten me as to the purpose here?
Get a clue troll. Why are you referencing some random website written 2 days after the incident was noticed rather than the vendor, who did a full write up on what happened?
Add to that, we now that we know the NSA had access to the certs from diginotar and might had done or paid for the diginotar hack I think one might as well use windows
What the fuck does that have to do with FreeBSD or Windows? You want to use Windows because it has Diginotar/Comodo certs included by default? You know FreeBSD itself doesn't trust ANYONE's certs by default, right?
And if you read the page you're linking to... it was clear, even on that shitty page, that it effected pre-built ports. Specifically stating the OS itself had absolutely no risk of intrusion, since the keys in question had no access to write anything other than 3rd party packages.
You're just a ignorant troll, a shitty one at that.
Really, what way is that? Answering 30 ignorant questions a day by people asking for stuff that is so clearly WAY above their heads they shouldn't be asking, yet they do.
As a developer, this is why I avoid working on projects where random people can interact with the devs. You get mailing list questions like
I'm trying to make this plugin that can totally change the way the software works, but I get an error:
main must return a value
Can you help me fix?!!@?$!@?^#$^!@?!?
What is the response I'm supposed to give to all those morons who are so ignorant of what they are doing that they don't have any idea how ignorant they are. Thats not something I can fix, its not my problem, its theirs. Its one thing to not understand how something works, its entirely different to not know anything about the subject matter at all, and then ask someone how to do something that's never been done before.
Do you think race car drivers and mechanics should sit around and answer the 'I want fast car, how me go fast?!?!?!@?! What is drivers license?!?!@?@!?@$ What is engine?!?!?!?! tires?!?!?!?!' crap as well?
When you so clearly don't know what you're doing, and you so clearly haven't tried to figure out anything at all, and then you go ask high-end devs how to do something that shows you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE OS OR DEVELOPMENT FOR IT... you deserve to get a kick in the teeth.
Its fucking rude to waste my time with your ignorance when your ignorance can be solved by spending the time you took to write to the kernel list on Google with far better results. Lazy fucks.
Mind you, I just thought about this as an uneducated random thought. I certainly don't understand the physics well enough to make a real comment.
With that said though, I've wondered for a while if we're just experiencing what its like to be on the inside of a black hole thats suddenly expanded due to some sort of fluctuation in gravity.
For all we know, its an illusion and we're still in a singularity from a higher dimension.
Yea, betamax could do that... about 3 plays through the tape before it broke or degraded to ugly due to having to make the substrate so thin to fit the movie, and that was only after several years of advances in technology.
By that point, people were recording 8 hour VHS tapes.
Betamax had decent quality nothing else in the good column, and in the bad column it had ALL of the typical Sony bullshit such as over priced proprietary equipment that they are typical of. Betamax was not as awesome as you think it was, the public said so.
You use a corp account and group policy rollouts? I love how people talk about Windows like its so horrible when they have absolutely no idea how it works and clearly have no experience managing it.
Other than you 'don't like Windows 8', explain why its so horrible? The start page is the only major user noticeable difference between it and Windows 7, and there are plenty of IT/management reasons to choose Win8 over Win7. I've spent a couple weeks working with them to re-certify our apps with their upgraded internal apps and Windows 8. God knows how many millions they've spent in the process, and the cost isn't even a large percentage of a single years worth of their IT budget.
They've been preparing for this migration since Win8 RTM. You'll have to excuse me if I don't think some random slashdotter knows more about a companies needs than the company itself.
They're business isn't trolling slashdot with anti-MS sentiments, they rent beds. They have different requirements than you do. Windows 8 isn't that big of a difference in their workflow for end users, they'll just roll it into to their other yearly training programs and nothing of value will be lost during the upgrade.
Windows 8 is a problem for curmudgeons, thats about it. Its trivial to never see the start page (without third party software) and other than there not being a start menu, and windows now being square instead of rounded Luna, I doubt 90% of their users will even notice the difference.
... One of our customers has over 50k desktops, a business in the hospitality industry... going straight to Windows 8 next year, in both corp offices and individual locations around the globe.
Contrary to what you think, the world doesn't revolve around you or your narrow view of the world.
Jumping to 7 rather than 8 just shows you're afraid of change. When 99% of your employees spend all day in a 1 or 2 apps that are full screen, and you treat a machine like a utility rather than your lover, the change doesn't matter.
As a user, I find the start screen to be utterly jarring, but I switch between apps a lot. Most people don't.
When will ignorant slash dotters realize their fantasy/love affair with their PC is something most of the rest of the world laughs at?
> post-up ip addr add dev wlan0 192.168.42.49/24... just adds the ip to the interface and sets the net mask to/24. Nothing magical about it, its not really and different than the lines above it really.
My router, which costs less than a RaspberryPi with the additional parts needed to make it capable of this, is far more powerful as a CPU and has ASICs that can handle 5 gige ports.
The RaspberryPi is a SHITTY networking device, pushing 10MB/s through it is almost certain to give you a reboot due to the shitty USB stack and that all networking on it is via USB.
Staff weapons are weapons of terror, not combat. I'd quote the episode, but I'm lazy. It was one of the ones were they were just starting to partner with the Jaffa, and they had O'neall talking about the MP5s they use, the staff weapon fired at a log hanging took some hits and missed, the MP5 in Sam's hands, cut the swinging target in half.
So awe removes the 4g limit from 32 bit apps, using a standard old school technique... So old that.... All intel and and x86 based processors for the last 20 or so years have supported it, even though most OSes don't use it... It's called segmented addressing, and it's why you can boot an x86 chip and move your kernel from the first gb of address space to the upper gb ofaddress space on the fly with only a segment change.
You really don't have any idea what your talking about. AWE was made to let 32 bit apps deal with gobs of memory, used properly, it's really not that bade for most data sets and can actually be faster than 64 bit code even though you have to swap segments.
64 bit addressing just makes it so the programmer can be dumber and still work with larger address space, which is important because of people like you writing software are the norm.
RaspberryPi is cheap because its missing all the shit that is required to make it useful.
Keyboard, mouse, monitor, power supply, SD Card for OS, USB stick for writable partitions because the SD card support is asstastically slow, Wifi adapter, time for someone to image the SD card for it, trouble because the RaspberryPi is poorly engineered power hog that can hardly sustain its own circuits, and don't forget, you still need a case.
To get a raspberrypi functional as a 'desktop', you need more basically to buy a full machine worth of hardware.
This is like handing some one an i7 chip and telling them to go learn how to program. Its stupid on every level.

God I hope not, they are bigger scare mongers than the DoD.
The new iOS will ask you if you want to 'trust' the host you're connecting to on connection, in theory, no condom is needed.
Make jokes as (in)appropriately as possible.
I can accept both, why can't you?

Just for reference to those who aren't aware of who the post above is from
tlambert is:
http://people.freebsd.org/~terry/
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/terry-lambert/2/70a/770
I.E. He knows his shit and has the references to back it up. His resume is pretty much a list of industry leading companies for the last 25 years.
Given that Freebsd never released a good audit report after that hack I can only be worried more.

No, I won't imagine.
The 'event horizon' is not an object. Its an imaginary construct we define related to the theory of physics on the scale of black holes.
Its not a surface. Its nothing at all. Its a clipping pane in a video game. The result of a mathematical formula.
You act as if we've seen and observed and KNOW everything there is to know/see.
You couldn't be more wrong.
There was once no time in our universe. Or if you're talking about any universe, you need something "out of time".
Please stop quoting hypothesis that have absolutely no proof as fact. And apply this to the rest of your post.
Just because Hawking said it, doesn't mean its absolutely fact.
Mind you, I just thought about this as an uneducated random thought. I certainly don't understand the physics well enough to make a real comment.

No one, anywhere, under any condition gets 'short changed' on lectures.
