  1. Re:Not heard of BSD on Why Was Linux the Kernel That Succeeded? · · Score: 1

    By doing the same Jolitz did, port the more portable 4.3-Reno release. Not as much fun as writing your own kernel from scratch. Reno would have been available through his University. Anyway, the BSD kernel was already a spectacular success well before Linus started writing his kernel.

  2. Theo on Why Was Linux the Kernel That Succeeded? · · Score: 1

    Because Theo is an asshole obviously. Then again, I consider the BSD kernels a spectacular success just as well. A big part of the internet as we know it was built on VAXen running 4.x BSD long before Linus started working on a kernel.

  3. In other news on Automakers To Gearheads: Stop Repairing Cars · · Score: 4, Funny

    Religious leaders are supporting provisions in copyright law that could prohibit home writers and book enthusiasts from repairing and modifying their own bibles. In comments filed with a federal agency that will determine whether tinkering with a bible constitutes a copyright violation, churches and their main lobbying organisation say bibles have become too complex and dangerous for believers and third parties to even scribble in. The dispute arises from a section of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that no one thought could apply to bibles when it was signed into law in 1998. But now, in an era where books are text files, the U.S. Copyright Office is examining whether provisions of the law that protect intellectual property should prohibit people from modifying or even put boogers in their hardcopy bibles.

  4. Get lost on How Ubiquiti Networks Is Creatively Violating the GPL · · Score: 1

    You are not getting my .config and trivial kernel patches either (for value of patches, a few well placed /* */'s). Do your own homework.

  5. Re:Define "Threatened" and "Unwelcome" on A Software Project Full of "Male Anatomy" Jokes Causes Controversy · · Score: 2

    Yeah, when Babbage was getting all these government grants Ada Lovelace dropped measuring skulls and decided to be a programmer..

  6. Nation of stalkers on Top-Secret US Replica of Iran Nuclear Sites Key To Weapons Deal · · Score: 1

    This is getting way beyond creepy.

  7. Re:What "historical predictions"? on California's Hot, Dry Winters Tied To Climate Change · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Go ahead, return to sender, but sticking fingers in your ears whilst singing LALALA doesn't make it a good idea to keep using the atmosphere as dumping ground.

  8. Re:Isn't this a bit obvious... on California's Hot, Dry Winters Tied To Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Climate is the 30 year average weather, both are subject to change.

  9. potentially malicious indeed on Valve Censoring Torrent References In Steam Chat · · Score: 1

    Following links led to the browser auto-downloading .exe files, hope they fixed it by now.

  10. Re:Lizard Squad? on North Korean Internet Is Down · · Score: 2

    With the number of FBI informants in Lizard Squad these likelyhoods are not mutually exclusive.

  11. Hanlon? on British 'Porn Filter' Blocks Access To Chaos Computer Club · · Score: 2

    What was that quote again? Never attribute to politics that which is adequately explained by stupid perl scripts?

  12. Keep up the good work.. on OpenBSD Drops Support For Loadable Kernel Modules · · Score: 2

    Now if they could also drop support for shared libraries I might consider upgrading my warezed copy of NetBSD 0.8.

  13. Re:Is there a way to prevent this? on Verizon Injects Unique IDs Into HTTP Traffic · · Score: 2

    Rig as many webservers as possible to give users with that header a nag screen

  14. Death of USENET.. on Hungary To Tax Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Pulling a full feed will be about $10k/day.. lol

  15. Yeah right.. on Pentagon Reportedly Hushed Up Chemical Weapons Finds In Iraq · · Score: 1

    Invade Belgium and you'll probably find 50000 tonnes of 'hidden' chemical weapons. UNSC resolution 1441 was a pretext, and I'm not falling for it that the islamic state suddenly got WMD capabilities . None of these remnants can actually be fired and deliver the originally intended result. It is just a pile of toxic waste.

  16. ..because kids should be kids, and even if they are coders, by the time they start working the language they learned will be branded `the worst first language'

  17. Re:Well.. That sucks on Lennart Poettering: Open Source Community "Quite a Sick Place To Be In" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes we care, too bad the bitcoin address isn't in the summary.

  18. This fake too? on $500k "Energy-Harvesting" Kickstarter Scam Unfolding Right Now · · Score: 2, Interesting
  19. Give it a try.. on ICANN CEO Wants To Make Progress On Leaving US Control · · Score: 1

    ..and you'll probably die from a hearth attack shortly after.

  20. Re:Under our noses... on Aliens and the Fermi Paradox · · Score: 1

    Yeah, like crop circles...

  21. Flawed assumption on MtGox's "Transaction Malleability" Claim Dismissed By Researchers · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They wrongly assume that they were able to capture all MtGox transaction attempts. Many were posted on their API that were never broadcasted over the network because they were broken / invalid. That didn't stop people from fixing and / or malleating (sp?) them.

  22. Re:Unfortunately, More to Come on Facebook Is a Plague That'll Burn Out In a Few Years, Says Study · · Score: 1

    Of course there will be more to come.. maybe even a massive retro trend and we'll all have geocities style pages again, quit tweeting and filling out our .plan on panix instead and g-d forbid, cyber over IRC!

  23. Not enough in the air? on US Intelligence Wants To Radically Advance Facial Recognition Software · · Score: 1

    What!? They were not using TV channels for development all this time?

  24. where is the rest? on AT&T Maintains Call Database For the DEA Going Back To 1987 · · Score: 2

    Would love to hear story about how they lost the records from before 1987

  25. Semantics on Syrian Rebels Claim Hundreds Killed By Poison-Gas Attack · · Score: 1

    The Department of Public Safety deployed crowd control measures vs. The regime is brutally murdering its own people with chemical weapons. ..all the same nowadays.
