  1. alphanumeric means errors on At Current Rates, Only a Few More Years' Worth of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why recreate the wheel if they already got ipv6 for that?

    By using that approach of alphanumeric [a-z] you'll also get a lot more errors in spelling, O & 0, I & 1, ..
    HEX solves that entirely by only allowing [0-F].

  2. Divided by technology? on At Current Rates, Only a Few More Years' Worth of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    OK, I could share that IP with my wife, but given the number of devices in between us, that won't really work.

    Divided by technology?
    Or what kind of devices are you referring to exactly ? *nudge nudge wink wink*

  3. Public IP's for household appliances?? on At Current Rates, Only a Few More Years' Worth of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    Name me one reason why household appliances, or even a phone, or your dog .. requires a direct IP address?

    Why can't we put our second priority devices on a NAT network and save a bit of ip-space?

    Now, It's dwelling with the faucet open without any good result at all...

  4. Re:Fine grain rule to stop anything after 2014 on SpamAssassin 2010 Bug · · Score: 1

    Actually a better rule taking that in account is:

    ##{ FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
    header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =~ /20(1[4-9]|[2-9][0-9])/ [if-unset: 2006]
    describe FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The date is grossly in the future.
    ##} FH_DATE_PAST_20XX

    I've made a post entry about this on my blog at http://development.artistblog.me/2010/01/spamassassin-2010-bugfix/ ; although I've heard cases where sa-update didn't work, so I wouldn't know which way would be the best since there are more ways to skin a cat ...

  5. Fine grain rule to stop anything after 2014 on SpamAssassin 2010 Bug · · Score: 1

    This rule is a little bit more fine-grained. It will not allow anything to be sent after 2014.

    edit the file /usr/share/spamassassin/72_active.cf

    ##{ FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
    header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =~ /20[1-9][4-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]
    describe FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The date is grossly in the future.
    ##} FH_DATE_PAST_20XX

    I wish variables could be used in regexps like these, like $year + 2 would be a nice start....

  6. Try to write undocumented code with Perl on Myths About Code Comments · · Score: 1

    Since I'm using remarks in my code, my coding has increased double in speed.

    for loops, a missing bracket can be easy defeated by adding a code remark behind every closing bracket.
    In big sources, this is a convenience to see where exactly a subroutine has finished to its result.

    Not only for loops, but also repetitive code, regexpes (which you can write in more than one way) and parameters will give a lot more meaning when having a little bit of documentation; even, if not for the next programmer.

    I could not imagine an architect or anyone who builds buildings would be not making *any* sidenotes about their project.

  7. The difference in this is in your visa statement.. on Man Tracked Down and Arrested Via WoW · · Score: 1

  8. Catastrophical ... this could mean the end ... on Gnome Switches Nautilus Back To Browser Mode · · Score: 1

    The plot thickens ... it always starts like that.

    I've always knew these little Gnomes were going to take over the world. First they'll start 20,000 miles under the sea by putting the Nautilus back to browser mode.

    bottom line: Don't trust Gnomes ... Don't trust Dwarves either, since Santa isn't a real Elf anyways!

  9. Finally someone talking sense! on Israeli Border Police Shoot US Student's Laptop · · Score: 1

    Better to ask: In which parallel universe does a "reasonable procedure" involve three bullets through an unknown explosive device?

    They clearly seem to be very professional at their work, clearing up bombs with bullets..

    On TV, they mostly cut the red wire with a lot of sweat, to disarm an IED ;)

  10. You are forgetting a small detail ... on Israeli Border Police Shoot US Student's Laptop · · Score: 1

    ... Which security guard/bomb squad is that stupid to fire upon (unknown) explosives?

    I'd think there are still judges available in Israel; not borderguards being judge, jury and executioner at the same time.

    To my opinion, this is one gigantic power-security-struggle-theater.

  12. Who the freak shoots at EXPLOSIVES ?!? on Israeli Border Police Shoot US Student's Laptop · · Score: 1

    Or they thought that the laptop was a bomb, and decided that lugging it out back by themselves and shooting it was the correct make-safe procedure

    Since when is it a failsafe to shoot at explosives ? Craaazy world ...
    They wouldn't have an airport anymore, if that laptop would be rigged with explosives in the first place.

    Your first estimate looks more acceptable, they just wanted to play judge, jury and executioner.

  13. Meds to control the smartline of people? on Poorer Children More Likely To Get Antipsychotics · · Score: 1

    I'm having a very heavy form of ADHD which I control myself, without medication.
    It's not always as easy because solutions often just don't fall into your hands, so, repetitive thinking is sometimes healthy.

    I think like a tree forms it's branches; Start with the roots (problem) and start to see every possibility as a branch (solution) which has each it's negative and positive sides. When I reach the point to take the most neutral solution of all branches; I choose...

    I've tried Relatine and Concerta .. The relatine was the worst of them kinds; disabling me from any artistic functions like drawing, creating music, writing and even programming. It took me about 9 months, AFTER stopping taking the medication to recover; because my brain seemed to be rewired to see mostly only one straight path, one option, solution or direction to watch & live to. Basically, all branches to alternative thinking where gone, destroyed, erased ... for a long moment even after stopping these darn pills.

    Variety gets killed in high numbers; where kids mistreated in ADHD often get such medication where their brain doesn't think about alternative options anymore. Sounds, almost they want to create mindless thinkers.

    Basically .. I felt "more stupid" when under three different medications.
    mods: I think the parent post is not rendundant at all...

  23. 1000$ for headphones ?!? It's human adaptation ... on Can We Really Tell Lossless From MP3? · · Score: 1

    You can already get serious headphones around 300-400$ ; which is half of the price.

    The difference CAN be spotted if you know the original track, by listening to the original master.
    It happens mostly in the production process where gains get pumped up, details get lost but it'll boom anyway (cfr: loudness war)...

    To be sure to hear the difference, you have to hear the full original, on tape or digital format. After hear the MP3 and you'll hear tiny differences which are in essence quality losses.

    It's because the human mind adapts to the imperfections, it doesn't get noticed.

    Like DJ mixes (through beatmixing) ; when a DJ makes an error, which is even grave, most people don't even notice; while it gets noticed immediately by my trained ear; I call that adaptation ...
