    Surplus pleonasms?

  2. Re:Let's get the politics out of the way on Slashback: Electioneering, Blimps, Shuffling · · Score: 5, Informative

    And if you lived here, you'd be getting reports on the *exciting* hijinks:
    1) At least half of those "felon voters" who shouldn't have voted were juveniles when they were found guilty, and thus never had their voting rights stripped. Many of the others had their rights restored after serving their sentences.
    2) Someone is challenging the votes of around 15,000 voters on the grounds that they are illegal immigrants. The evidence? Their last names don't sound American enough.

    Are you referring to those green dots? That's just center-pivot irrigation of farmland. Zoom in all the way and you can see the ruts left by the wheels of the irrigation system.

    In terms of what's best for your feet, moccasins beat sandals, but not by much. Both offer protection against sharp objects and stubbing one's toes, without working against the natural shape and movement of your feet, but moccasins give you a better feel for the ground.

    I don't think this is an April Fools' joke. Last activity on the project was March 29.

  9. Re:Take the article with a grain of salt on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 1

    Along those lines, I wouldn't put RAID 0 on a server of any sort.

  10. Re:Take the article with a grain of salt on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 1

    If your RAID 0 goes and all that's on there is swap, you just reboot and you're ready to go again -- but without being able to use virtual memory until you replace the bad drive.

    If your RAID 0 goes, and you've got all your data on there, you'd better hope you've been making backups frequently -- otherwise, you've just lost everything, and the only way to get it back is to spend a few thousand on data recovery.

    Which would you pick?

  11. Re:Take the article with a grain of salt on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 1

    Swap and temp are the only two good uses for RAID 0. For anything else, the increased risk of data loss outweighs the increased speed.

  12. Re:To save bandwidth, how about being pro-active? on IBM Unveils Anti-Spam Services to Stop Spammers · · Score: 1

    The vast majority of zombie machines are running WinXP. Ping of Death only works on Win95, unpatched Win98, and ancient versions of some minor OSs.

    My computer's "Any" key is the button between the power button and the power light.

    The last Electronic Arts title I bought was "Pinball Construction Set" -- and back then, their logo was "ECA".

    Lying on your taxes is a time-honored tradition.

    And at the same time as the packet goes from A to I, it'll be heard by D, E, and H, preventing everyone except G from using that radio frequency until the packet is completely transmitted.

  18. Re:This is great but... on Introducing 802.11s - Wireless Mesh Networking · · Score: 1

    What's the point of wireless mesh networking? By its very nature, it'll always be a broadcast network rather than a point-to-point network, so as the number of users goes up, the available bandwidth goes down. I'd think you'd want to get your connection off the air and into wires as fast as possible.

    Consider the alternative: a head crash from a dropped laptop. Which would you rather have?

    It's a race condition between the table layout code and the html download code. The people most likely to see it are those on dialup; those least likely to see it are those on fast high-speed connections.

    That's not what I'm referring to. If you actually clicked on one of the Coral links, you'll get the following message:

    Its getting insane and I favor criminal rather than civil charges if spyware makers began to make trojan horse rootkits.

    Personally, if that occurs, I favor dynamite charges over either of the above.
