The only reason you're seeing it is because it's still in your resolver cache. Without the registrar and corresponding TLD DNS server returning a SOA record for goatse, no names can be resolved for that domain. You demonstrate a lack of understanding of either the situation or the functionality of the DNS.
If anyone out there is curious what is on the site, all you need to is issue the command:
$ echo "198.247.175.96 goatse.cx" >>/etc/hosts...and you will be able to reach it. (Not that you'd really want to, but...)
And, last time I checked, the PHP core developers had not given their thumbs-up to mod_php with Apache 2.x. It was still "experimental" or something.
Since 2.x uses threading instead of prefork (maybe you can change that with a different MPM, not sure) it means that everything that runs in the context of the webserver has to be thread-safe and reentrant. That introduces a lot of junk to check and/or fix.
WHere's that dude that used to obsessively post to any slashdot topic that was remotely segway-related about his gushing segway ownership experience and how he's keeping a journal of every hour of hot segway action, etc.
One of the main differences though is that SpeakFreely required a central server to organize everything, which every client connects to. In other words, you can easily go off and use the linux kernel without anybody running a central server. But to keep this project running someone would have to step up and offer hosting and bandwidth for it, and be prepared to fund/support that.
Yes but now you get to reimplement all the useful parts of TCP, such as reliability, retransmissions, rate control/exponential backoff, fragmentation and out-of-order reassembly, 3-way handshake to prevent spoofing, etc. That kind of thing belongs in the kernel or protocol stack, not the application. For some situations it's not needed, and perhaps VoIP is one of them. But there are still lots of things (like p2p file transfer) that need all of the above, and to say "Oh just use UDP" is really a non-solution.
Exactly. The picture and description in the article makes it sound like they were sitting around in folding chairs with laptops under outdoor-wedding style tents, not "you can't sit up without hitting something" tents. I wouldn't be surprised if there were generators and porto-potties like you'd see at an outdoor concert. I'm sorry, that's not camping. It may be a lot of smart people getting away from their normal offices or homes, and doing something outside. But it ain't camping.
If it's a slow leak then I wouldn't expect to be able to see anything just by looking. After all, we're talking about air here, it's not really going to stand out against the stark blackness of space. And even if you could see something, the amount of surface area on the outside of the ship is enormous and there are a limited number of windows. It could be coming from any little joit or crack, so you'd have to really have an eagle eye to detect it.
I'm sure they have ways of detecting these things (such as looking for small differences in pressure, or currents) but I would doubt that any of them involve looking for visible streams on the outside.
A-fuking-men. My thoughts exactly. It's the same mindset, the same group of people that are attracted to these things. The original poster made the fallacy of lumping all of slashdot into a single category, that of "casemods are cool." You couldn't pay me to drive a riced up car with cut springs and a Wright-bros. style wing, and I find most casemods completely pointless and quite gaudy.
Yeah frikkin right. Those gawdy acrylic case windows don't do jack shit for ergonomics, nor do they show off the hardware. Really, when was the last time you saw someone with one of those things and cold cathode lights and actually looked in there and determined jack shit about his system? "Oh, I see you're using a 3 GHz CPU and 1 G RAM". Bullshit. It serves a single purpose, and that's to make its owner feel better about themselves and the crap they paid money for, just as chrome rims are meant to spice up an otherwise boring car. An acrylic window has jack shit functionality other than aesthetics, just as big ass chrome wheels and super low profile tires are usually detremental to handling because they weigh significantly more than the stock rims + tires. And frankly, both types of 'mods' shout "I'm an idiot" because both those ridiculous huge wings on the backs of civics and those "LED-enhanced" casefans serve no useful purpose and cost a lot of money that could have otherwise been spent on something functional.
The thing that the article fails to mention is that we've been using transmissions FOR A REASON, knowing darn well that they result in an efficiency loss. But the problem is that no matter how hard you try you will never be able to create a motor that is efficient over a wide range of RPMs. The transmission may cost you some efficiency, but it's a must for any application that requires a range of speeds. In other words this city bus is an exception, as who cares if it can't go faster than 50 mph. But to apply this idea to general automotive transporation would be nuts. Any benefit you'd gain from eliminating the transmission would be lost by having to run the motor outside of its peak band. And not to mention the *serious* tradeoffs you'd have to make to compensate for all that unsprung weight.
Exactly. The only reason that this is remotely feasible is because the bus is such a big honking massive thing. Forget about applying this to regular cars. You'd be back to suspension technology of 100 years ago, where you'd chip your teeth on sharp bumps if you weren't careful. And forget about any sort of handling at high speed.
The lack of transmission is advertised as a good thing, but I can hardly agree. Electric motors are not perfect, they have a limited range of speeds through which they they can operate with any efficiency. They have a lot of torque at low RPMs, which is good for a bus -- both because it has a low top speed, and because the tires are so large. Thus the motor is never called upon to spin that fast. But in a car everything is different, and this would be a complete failure.
The reason no one has tried this yet is not because no one had thought of it. Believe me, there is nothing new in transportation technology. Every so often someone thinks they've discovered something new, but it turns out it was tried 75 years ago and failed then. It's impressive that they somehow shoehorned this into a bus, but don't hold your breath waiting for this in anything other than these special situations.
And the diesel-electric combination has been used in locomotives and ships for probably 60 years if not more, so there's absolutely nothing novel there.
If you'd RTFA you'd know that the patents and the licensing only applies to the VFAT extensions to the filesystem which were created for Windows 95 to support long filenames in a backwards-compatible way. So the specifications for the basic FAT filesystem are not relevant to the discussion, no one is trying to license that.
Retail? Phffft. You could pay about a quarter of that price on eBay. (Yes, I know it's used. Presuming it's clean do you really think that matters much?)
Huh? Because it's going slower than escape velocity it will eventually escape anyway? That makes no sense. Escape velocity by definition is the minimum speed you must travel to escape the pull of gravity. BTW, things in geosynchronous orbit travel much slower (they have a period of 24 hours instead of 90 minutes) and yet they still remain in orbit.
If you have a $20 million wad to blow on something this frivolous, something tells me you don't have any problem picking up chicks. As in, you could probably find plenty that would let you do a line of coke off their ass in return for driving around in the ferrari and playing barbie in the mansion.
I wouldn't be so sure. I bet some policies have clauses related to activities that a person voluntarily embarks on that involve "significant chance of serious injury or death" or some crap. In other words, if you went out and got a million dollar life insurance policy and then jumped off a high cliff because you thought Red Bull gave you wings, well, do you think they would cover your sorry ass?
The ISS makes a complete orbit around the earth every 90 minutes or so. That's about 26,720 km/h (16,603 mph.) If you're up there for 8 days, that's 3,187,776 miles.
The whole REASON that it stays in orbit at that height is because it's moving so f'ing fast, nimrod. Why was this AC modded up for such a misleading post? Isn't this slashdot, where you'd expect to at least see correct info about nerdish crap like this? If I travel from San Francisco to New York is the distance measured by the change in elevation? No? Thought not.
"XP installs are a drop in the bucket compared to 2000."
I want some of the crack you're smoking. From Google's stats:
Windows 2000: 19% Windows XP: 42%.
So they're getting about twice as many hits from XP compared to 2k. You have to remember that all home machines shipped within the last mumble years have had XP, not 2k, which was always intended more as a workstation/business/corporate release.
