  1. Simple solution to dealign with these trackers on Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found On SUV · · Score: 3, Interesting

    1) Find a place where trains pass somewhat slowly
    2) Wait for slow moving train
    3) Stick tracker on outside of train car

  2. Re:I doubt it... on Godfather of Xen On Why Virtualization Means Everything · · Score: 1

    I rolled my own RHEL5 desktop cloud. If an engineer does something stupid, the VM he has reserved dies and he reserves a new one. He doesn't impact the other virtual desktops and the VM that he crashed gets rebuilt from a single master image. This is the benefit of isolation, and it can be extended to security if you plan it right. It all boils down to the competency of the admins.

    Seriously though, most telcomm operations operate like this. Their switching centers are all fully automated and unmanned, and usually in the basement of some non descript building. This is nothing new.

  5. Re:Welcome to Canada? on NY Senators Want To Make Free Speech A Privilege · · Score: 0

    Do you have something against being made accountable for your own words? I am free to say whatever I want whenever I want, but I am held accountable for those words. If my words encourage hatred towards a minority, I am committing a hate crime. If my words encourage suicide, I am complicit in their demise. Thats the only real implication.

  6. Welcome to Canada? on NY Senators Want To Make Free Speech A Privilege · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In Canada, we do not have free speech in absolute terms like our southern counterparts. The difference between us and what those senators are suggesting is that we have a Charter of Rights which protects us from any attempt of gov't approved censorship. It can be annoying at times, but it keeps the holocaust deniers at bay.

  8. Re:Libertarianism cannot exist alone on Paypal Founder Helping Build Artificial Island Nations · · Score: 1

    Polygamy guarantees an excees of single men, much like the posters on slashdot. It must cast out the excess in order for the society to survive, and in order to be able to cast out the excess there must be a larger society with which to absorb these outcasts. Bountiful BC is an excellent example of this in action.

  9. Libertarianism cannot exist alone on Paypal Founder Helping Build Artificial Island Nations · · Score: 1

    By its very nature, be it libertarianism, objectivism, or even polygamy, cannot exist on it own and isolated from the larger society, as it is inherently parasitic. There is much it is incapable of addressing (such as welfare), so it deals with it by simply removing the "problem" from their faux society. So if they do manage to get this off the ground, expect to see a constant flow of people both coming and going just to maintain the untenable ideals of their utopian society.

    1) You never bug a pregnant, hormonal woman. EVER.
    2) You never refer to fetus as a blastocyst, parasite, or nickname him "blobby"
    3) The only acceptable response is "Yes dear, no dear, I will rub your feet right away dear".
    4) Never tell her that stretch marks are camoflauge to help her hide in the tall grass to escape predators.
    5) In the later stages of pregnancy, when she is immoble, that is not an opportunity to dutch oven or teabag her.
    6) Never refer to pregnant sex as "intercourse and a handjob all in one", otherwise you will not get intercourse OR a handjob.

    "Hyper-V works fine, and saves you a lot of cash"

    When using Hyper-V, you have to pay for the Host OS, as opposed to a KVM or Xen enabled Linux host which is free. How precisely does that "save you a lot of cash"? Hell, you may as well install the free version of VMWare on top of your Windows box. At least you'll get some of the features missing in Hyper-V.

  21. Hyper-V isn't second. It doesn't even place on Microsoft To Support CentOS Linux In Hyper-V · · Score: 4, Informative

    KVM and Xen are both fully featured enterprise class hypervisors with the ability to live migrate. Hyper-V only *just* got live migration and only when you're using clustering (translation: large wads of cash are required). VMWare is undoubtedly the leader, but KVM and Xen are defaintely fighting for 2nd.
