Like when you're on the highway and see a cop car passing you by. Suddenly you're a model driver, five percent below the speed limit, signaling lane changes and everything, can-I-help-you-officer
You do realize they can tell you're doing this and it makes you stand out like a sore thumb, right? Even if speeding, you're best move is to not change your pattern (unless your pattern happens to be fucking stupid, which yours sounds like since apparently the only time you signal is when a cop is watching).
Doing less than the speed limit will get you red flagged instantly. You want to be doing slightly over it in clear day time driving or you're going to be seen as someone trying to 'not get pulled over', which means you're more likely to get pulled over.
The data says they aren't melting, and those people are commenting in fact on how the ice is getting closer, not further away. You guys are really going to have to stop using that battle cry until Deadliest Catch goes off the air, its really hard for anyone to believe your bullshit when they can see the ice going further each year and most certainly not retreating.
It also helps when you don't have NASA coming out and saying 'oops, we were measuring wrong, those ice caps weren't actually retreating after all!'.
Seriously, you are why people don't listen to the climate debate.
If they were climate scientists, they'd still be telling us the world is seconds away from a catastrophic tipping point in which there will be no recovery and humans will be doomed. They would not just change their story to 'you don't understand the data and the trends!'
And that is why they aren't being respected anymore.
Or rather, thats the comments I can make to refute your retarded statements while at the same time making my own equally retarded statements. Claiming the global warming debate has anything to do with science is disingenuous at best. Stop politicking and maybe we can talk about the science of it all.
More scary than the arrogance of someone like you? That shit is creepy. You're not smart enough to be dangerous, you just think you're smart enough to be dangerous. Truth of the matter is, if thats how you feel about the general population, you're pretty ignorant yourself.
If you have to wait for a DNS timeout than you have a misconfigured setup. You should get an immediate return of NXDOMAIN. A DNS timeout is only going to occcur when a DNS server is done, not because the domain doesn't exist.
Realistically however, URL suggestion handling in most browser will turn 'google' into www.google.com when you hit enter.
Perhaps the problem is that your browser sucks ass?
You do realize their competitors are already hosting Akamai content servers... which is who currently does this function for Netflix... right?
So what you're saying is that netflix is going to be destroyed because their competitors are not going to do what they are already doing for them?
And when Netflix just continues to use Akamai in those data centers, how exactly does this destruction of Netflix come about?
You're comment would only qualify as Insightful if netflix didn't already have its content cached in the datacenters you say aren't going to let it cache its content there. Pretty dumb dontcha' think?
No he didn't. The military got Osama, he got the reports about it and got to watch them do it, he had no actual useful part in it other than not telling them they couldn't do it.
pass Obamacare,
Yea, its fucking awesome that I get fined if I don't have health insurance, and taxed extra if I take the company health insurance because its 'too good'. You can shove Obama care up your ass, the solution is to not make it a legal requirement for everyone in the medical industry to charge more for less which is essentially what happens.
ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Who cares? Why is your sexuality coming up when you're working? Don't ask don't tell is great... both ways, I don't really give a fuck if your straight either cause I'm more concerned with not getting shot while you wax on about equality.
get some banking reform passed.
Are you fucking kidding me? If by banking reform you mean made it easier for the banks to walk away as legalized criminals then sure.
Sigh... yes it does, learn how to use zdevs properly.
also
zfs set sync=always zfs/filesystem
But thats retarded if you have any idea how the ZIL works.
I have a commodity hardware machine with 4 best buy disks, 2 of the cheapest SSDs I could find, a decent mobo. I use it as a SAN over dual gigabit links to a VMware ESXi server. One link will easly move 130-140MB/s and last time I looked it was averaging about 12k IOPs/second. We've done 4 times that in testing. Thats over NFS, with deduplication turned on. Basic commodity hardware.
I'm fairly certain you have no idea what a properly configured ZFS setup is capable of. You're probably one of those guys who tried to run multiple terabytes of data on a ZFS machine with a couple gigs of ram and no SSD or RAM cache and gzip-9 compression, sha256 check summing and deduplication.
I challenge you to do so because this discussion is about trying to bring 2 things FreeBSD already has... to Linux, not the other way around.
If you mean it doesnt' have drivers for every POS hardware device out there, sure, FreeBSD devs tend to value their time enough to not buy cheapass obscure hardware.
Anyone with a clue missed the stories you linked too. Who reads crap timothy and kdawson approve? Its almost certainly going to be wrong and a load of crap topped with a heaping of editoral opinion just in case you weren't quick enough to realize the story only made it to the front page because one of those fucktards actually believes the bullshit submitted.
Sorry, you lose all credibility by mentioning a kdawson or timothy story.
If you think censorship is evil in all forms, well then go fuck yourself cause that makes you just as much a ignorant fuck as the people pushing filters on everyone. You're an idiot if you can't understand why censorship exists and what benefits (not just the costs) it brings.
No, but that doesn't stop any of them from thinking thats the case.
Your stance on the existence of God has no more relation to your intelligence or knowledge than your opinion on the meaning of life or the infinity of the Universe, or what lays outside of the infinity of the universe. These are things our mind simply can not comprehend.
It doesn't REALLY matter what you believe (within reason).
I believe in God and that he created humans. I don't know the particular order or path that got here for sure, and I'm fairly certain it took more than a few thousand years to do it as I firmly believe in evolution.
Of you course, most Atheists are more ignorant than religious nut jobs. And my most Atheists, I mean only the ones that feel the need to tell the world they are atheists in order to make themselves feel superior. Anyone who comes out and starts debating something by leading their argument with critisms of someone rather than their though patterns, its certain they aren't talking about anything they actually know about.
You say that, but its not exactly like people haven't done just that in the past.
You have to recognize up front that anyone who is going to set off a bomb in a public place is mentally ill in the first place so they may do something non-intuitive like announce their plans.
Why? Because they aren't mindless fucks who wonder around beating anyone who makes a stupid statement, contrary to popular belief.
I also know of someone in high school who made what appeared to be a well thought out plan for doing so and was at their house when the men in black showed up to talk about it.
Most of the time, at least in the US, they put at least a slight amount of thought into going after people who post stupid shit online.
Now, I will admit that since my original slashdot post on the subject I do always get sent through extra security in airports, I'm fairly certain thats just cause I treat all TSA agents like the scum they are and not actually because of what I said here.
Thats not direct democracy, nor is it actually voting.
Direct democracy doesn't have a representative.
What you saw was a poll, run by a representative who then voted based on the results of the poll. You haven't supplied anything that says he had too, just that he did.
If you thought about it for a minute, you'd realize pretty much the same thing happens in America, its just not as obvious to most. Parties and politicians currently run polls and generally vote in that direction. Not really sure what you think the difference is?
Everyone has the Internet now, perhaps not at home, but almost certainly closer to them than their nearest polling station is currently unless they happen to live/work in that building... which also probably already has internet access as well.
The rest of your post is no different in either situation. Those problems are current problems and would remain problems with a different system because they are problems of human nature, not technology.
-What happens when your constituents make a choice that you can not in good conscience follow through on? Say they are against equal marriage rights and you are for it.
Then you reword the problem and ask it again.
For instance, I'm all for equal marriage rights and against gay marriage. So if you repolled but changed the question to something about gay rights instead of equal marriage rights, you would get a different answer from me, one more in line with what you wanted.
In reality, just like politicians now, the politician would spend a lot of time and effort to figure out how to ask polls in such a way that got what they wanted out of the deal.

ports is not like apt, pkg is.
pkg_add -r zsh
and
apt-get install zsh
are the same
cd /user/ports/shells/zsh && make install clean
is entirely different.
Ports is to build from source, if you need something none standard.

Freedom to arrest Kim DotCom in New Zealand with no evidence.
You can't lead with a statement like that and expect to be taken seriously you know.
