  1. Re:Get your daily clue: learn what Debian volatile on Debian Refuses To Push Timezone Update For NZ DST · · Score: 1

    Have they updated the default install to include volatile? Last I looked it had to be added manually and there wasn't a lot of documentation pointing to it. The only reason I knew about it was to fix clamav update problems.

    If they're going to point to volatile then they should have been pointing to volatile all along. It should be part of the installer or get as much attention as security.

    Now, in this case anyone who was interested has probably dealt with the problem so it is a bit of a non-story. My problem is everyone pointing to volatile as if Debian bothered to tell people about it.

    I was actually referring to this. The Hoff was smart enough to stay far away from it. Either that or he was too busy with Baywatch / Baywatch Nights / Nick Fury: Agent of Shield. Now, there's a hall of fame.

  7. Team Knight Rider on Knight Rider To Ride Again · · Score: 2, Informative

    I thought they already had a remake. I guess they just needed to rehash this one more time. Oh well, let's hope it's not another Flash Gordon.

  8. Re:So what about the car? on Knight Rider To Ride Again · · Score: 4, Informative

    They won't use anything Italian due to cost. They'll use something cheap and common enough to replace / repair every time they break one. I could see them use a Lada or Hyundai.

    Or they could try to do it all with CGI on a TV budget. Won't that look cool.

    Bill should step down and make Steve chairman just for the joke value.

  10. Use the right language. on 1-Click Rejection Rejected · · Score: 1

    They just need to find someone who speaks 'judge' that can come in and explain it in an approachable manner. One of their peers who can come in and ridicule the amount of 'work' in the patent.

    "I think the panel needs to realize that Amazon patented the bar tab. They've then gone and harmed other bars and clubs with this patent.'

    Yeah, I'm probably wrong. Ignore me.

  11. Re:Top two priorities on Cyber Crime A Distant #3 Priority for FBI · · Score: 1

    1. The **AAs' paid bitches are politicians. They give the orders and have a better ROI. Remember kids, an honest politician is one that stays bought.
    2. The FBI is too open for torture. You use a sub-contractor's cousin's business associate for that.

    No, their most likely top priorities are turf wars with other agencies and maximizing their budget.

  13. Re:What about them terrorists? on First New Nuclear Plant in US in 30 years · · Score: 1

    Yeah, whooptie doo. A million or more people with no electricity. Do that for a day or more and I'm sure everyone will be just fine, especially this crowd.

    We lost power for a day to a city of almost two million because of poor maintenance on distribution lines. If a terrorist had knocked down a couple of towers we would have had to fix the lines and find a way to secure over 1000 km of line from repeat attacks. And then they'd probably start targeting line crews.

  14. Re:What about them terrorists? on First New Nuclear Plant in US in 30 years · · Score: 1

    You don't hit the plants. You hit distribution. Knocking down towers in the middle of nowhere is easier. We've had a whole city blacked out for a day because distribution lines were taken out by weather. I seem to remember Auckland had problems with their feed a few years back.

  15. Re:Does Nuclear Energy Really Make Economic Sense? on First New Nuclear Plant in US in 30 years · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You should look into how they handle the radioactive waste from coal plants. CO2 isn't the only bad thing they throw into the atmosphere.

  16. Re:Why? on First New Nuclear Plant in US in 30 years · · Score: 1

    The nuclear plants are for base load. They work at night and in calm conditions. The others can and should provide part of the solution, but can't provide all of it.

    You may wish to check the current economic viability of the alternate sources. When they become cheaper than burning expensive fuels, generators will start using them.

  23. Re:Total FUD on 802.11n May Never Happen Due to Patent Concerns · · Score: 5, Insightful

    *Australian taxpayers!*

    The 'public' who want this resource are foreign companies that didn't pay for the research and whose only contribution to Australia is flogging us goods that violate our patents.

    If the CSIRO was acting like a corporation they would have already patent-trolled 802.11 out of existence.

  24. Re:Fury...building... on 802.11n May Never Happen Due to Patent Concerns · · Score: 1

    They hold patents on most of 802.11 and they're getting nothing now, so careful is the wrong option. They should get some pit-bull lawyers and sue the manufactures who are already violating their patents.

    I'm one of the (~20 million) people who pays for the CSIRO, so don't be calling me greedy for wanting some payback.
