He said (d-m.o) he stopped using the name because she told him to.
She said (the actual debian team) he shouldn't use the confusion it causes and people think donating to him is for Debian in general due to the scammy way its worded and fine print...
He said, I'll just dump the original name, then in my nice passive aggressive way, I'll use another name that is going to cause more or less the exact same problem! That'll teach those guys!.
She then had to warn all of her customers because he just let the domain expire and be taken over by someone else for phishing purposes, he is such a considerate guy, she said under her breath.
So basically, the debian-multimedia guy is being an ass by not only making a new nearly equally confusing name, the jack ass let the old one expire immediately so that someone else could pick it up, and in tiny print (wtf is with jackasses making text small, let the browser do its job douche) he puts on his website... that no one visits after the initial hits because they now have the repository in/etc/apt anyway... there he tells of the change...
Since apt doesn't validate that the domain is held by a trusted source/known private key before accepting it, this is a known issue and the d-m.o guy is just being an unhelpful ass.
After reading everything, I think d-m.o douche could have been a lot more professional.
He could have been a normal person and just done what debian asked... put a notice on his page saying 'I'm not taking these donations for debian, they are for me!' but instead he didn't want to.
He's essentially trying to scam people into donations unless they carefully read the right parts of his site. Now I'm all for reading the fine print, but when you are intentionally scamming people and trying to skirt around that fact by 'the fine print' so to speak, you're still just a scum back.
This guy, needs to be blacklisted by geeks. No one should give him money, he's not a team player, a bad sport, a jerk, and a scammer. He's a passive aggressive asshole.
Yes, I can get that from reading a couple of his websites and an email thread on the Debian lists.
Do you really think that you 'helping out' was a good enough reason for them to dump money into a product no one actually was willing to pay for rather than into products that actually pay to keep the lights on?
Whats better... you love the paypal links... I can not think of a worse way to send money, they are worse than the credit card companies.
You talk like you care, but your actions show its more of just a show to pretend you care and give you a poor claim to 'supporting' something.
Redhat forgets who made them successful, and they foget 95% of what is in their wares is other open source project's work.
And Linux Zealots almost universally forget what made it relevant, servers ran by commercial companies for closed source services.
Outside of fanboys and Google, no one actually uses a Linux desktop. (Qualification: If you are ranting at me on slashdot, you have to be an idiot to not realize you're a fanboy)
Have they used vSphere/ESXi? Other than both of them do something with Virtual Machines, I'm fairly certain they've never compared the two things.
OpenStack is your typical big open source mess that requires more than some assembly of parts that were clearly designed for Amazon scale sites rather than what most of the world would want.
VMware's products are semi-polished tools that a semi-competent Windows admin can fumble their way through and work with pretty GUIs to make it all work without much effort.
VMware is like normal furniture and OpenStack is like Ikea... except you also have to cut most of the parts out yourself as well with OpenStack.
OpenStack is about 9 billion times more complicated than it should be for limited amount of functionality it actually provides overall.
Spaghettification isn't exactly a concern on the scale of humans. Its a problem for solar systems, sure, but a person isn't large enough to have that large of a difference. Its not an issue on tiny black holes and only becomes less of a problem the larger you get.
Of course... all the things you state as if they were facts are really relatively new theories about how the universe works, but that one in particular shows you've been reading too much sci-fi.
What prevents the black hole from sucking in additional matter from around it in order to stay alive? Its not like the black hole is in the middle of mostly empty space, its more or less 'inside' a planet full of matter to consume.
Uhm, Flash is orders of magnitude slower than DRAM, which is orders of magnitude slower then SRAM.
SRAM is on chip because its expensive and its interface is expensive so you'd waste a lot of money and effort to have a SRAM discreet component on the other side of the mobo. Designing an interconnect to put the L1/L2 cache in an external chip is a REAL PITA by itself for consumer devices.
Looks like modern SLC NAND goes at roughly 100ns access times.
DDR3 - 2000 has a 9ns access time.
That DDR3 is roughly on par with the SRAM cache on my old 486, which was about 10ns. I have no clue what the internal L1 latency is on something like an i7, but considering that the MHZ is a couple orders a few orders of magnitude higher, I can assume its off the scale faster in comparison to NAND.
NAND is fast compared to a slow spinning platter disk that has to move a head and a platter into the right position to even get started. Its not really fast otherwise unless you do massively parallel reads. NAND has to do parallel (multiple chips) reads just to keep up with current SATA speeds. The interface isn't the issue.
It did, hell probably still does. Its just it only applied to us poor kids.
If you only went to look at lego kits in the walmart/kmart/cosco if your small, poor town, you didn't see all the fancy parts.
I live in Raleigh NC now, we have a Lego store with the latest Mindstorns and Technics. A couple years ago when visiting the town I grew up in on the West coast of Florida (population 2,800) I was buying a birthday gift for a friends child... they have no technics, no special kits. Basically about 10 different Lego small box kits, one town kit of medium size, and a couple Duplo containers. Thats it. Most of this town is far too rural to get decent Internet, so they generally don't do a lot of browsing either.
These kids have no idea that Technics even exist, let alone be able to afford them.
That is pretty much the story of most things in my life that I wanted to do but couldn't.
Funding is generally the most important part, and when you leave it to last, it shows something about your management ability. Something about putting the cart before the horse comes to mind.
I'm not sure where you're getting your info from, but vasectomies are pretty benign other than the intended effect. They are easily reversible.
I'm not saying I want to line up to get cut, but now they even do things to help ensure that it'll be easier to reverse in the future if you want. Its ridiculously short office visit to get it done.
Last I heard, Goldschlager was not a good contraceptive, the opposite really.
Actively not asserting your rights under a law related to copyright is a good way to lose those rights. If they didn't make that statement, they'd put themselves in a weaker legal position should they ever need to go after someone breaking the law in some way they do care about.
If its not secure (before or after) then a pre-boot/hypervisor style environment can be created that will let the software think its secure, when its actually already rooted.
The assertion is entirely true in every meaningful way to anyone with a clue. Thats why you don't get it.
.its so they can bleed every bit of cash from you with their cheap Chinese Foxconn devices.
You do realize WHATEVER you happened to have typed this silly post on... it HAS FOXCONN components in it... RIGHT?
You simply can not buy a motherboard without Foxconn parts, let alone assembled in a foxconn factory.
Go ahead, rant rant rant... Hypocrites are cute. Considering you are aware of apple requiring Foxconn to changes its ways... but I've never heard of anyone else doing such a thing... yet... here you are, posting on the Internet with crap made from some shitty Foxconn factory, you're just too stupid to realize where it came from.
You don't want to pay for your device. You don't want to have a subsidized device. And you don't want to have a locked down device.
And you want to whine about how you can't have these things at your whim.
Either pay for what you want or shut up about it. The options are there. You don't get to dictate terms to the seller one you're one guy with silly terms no one gives a shit about.
You are ignored because all 3 people like you don't make up enough of a market for anyone to care about.
The rest of the world doesn't have some silly ideological stick stuck up their ass like you do.
Right, its not like they could... you know... figure out to turn the fucking thing on and try it first... thats not something that anyone would ever think of.
Why are people on slashdot... who think they are so smart and clever... so utterly stupid to the fact that people have been...
turning on and trying their used iPhones before buying them for years ALREADY?
Does your dumb ass buy a used car without trying it too?
I'm sorry, you utterly fail to understand what incorporation means then. A corporation is by definition, a method of immunity. Thats the point of the corporation.
and devastate a large area for thousands of years.
Okay fudmaster... lets be realistic for a change... worse than any nuclear power plant accident would be a nuclear bomb detonation... and even that did not do any real damage that will last 'thousands of year'.
This isn't the fallout video game.. we know now that nuclear events don't do damage for nearly as long as silly nutjob statements like yours.
And a whole bunch of you fell for it like good little sheep.
The 'hacker' hasn't been sentenced, ten years is the maximum POSSIBLE, HE HASN'T BEEN GIVEN ANY TIME YET.
Guess what, the rapests faced a possible life imprisonment until they were actually sentenced. Then they sentenced them to something far less than that...
A bunch of +5 threads above talking about sick puppet goverments and unfair treatment... And nothing has actually happened yet.
Congratulations, all of you huffing and puffing are too stupid to realize that you should never, even for a second assume anything is correct or even close to correct when it's a post by timothy. He makes bricks look like highly intelligent creatures.
Not only have you been trolled, you've been trolled by a moron.
The speed of the signal on an ISDN or T1 line is... the speed of light (or close enough to be indistinguishable from it) since thats how electricity rolls and all.

That is why consumer groups, and governments woldwide are questioning Apples anti-comumer practices
. I see some great looking phone OS's coming out from Ubuntu and Jolla, and the barriers for switching are getting higher.
Between those two statements, you've shown utter disconnect from the rest of the world.

Get a clue.
You have the idea of who's incompetent wrong. Look in the mirror.
Unless you are his/her manager, thats not even your freaking job. Since you're asking here, again I say, clearly you aren't qualified anyway.
