    Because they'd have to accept it into the codebase I assume.

  2. Re:In my experience... on Charter School Firm Attacks Online Criticism · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that schools seem to believe that they can punish students for what they do outside of school. As in "you were riding your bike without lights at 9pm several kilometers from the school. But because you were wearing school uniform we are allowed to suspend you." :|

  3. Re:If they're anonymous, are they really parents? on Charter School Firm Attacks Online Criticism · · Score: 1

    I'm at a public school and I get the same deal if I want to complain.

    you are using My-SQL... something goes wrong... what do you do? Post in a forum, email a friend...

    Or you can get support from MySQL...you did buy a commercial license right?

    I think he was just confusing Open Source and Free Software.

  9. Re:Obstruction of justice on Encrypted Fileserver with Bittorrent Web Interface · · Score: 1

    Well it would be very suspicious if the suspect immediately gives up the password to data known to be encrypted with TrueCrypt.

  10. Re:Obstruction of justice on Encrypted Fileserver with Bittorrent Web Interface · · Score: 1

    But then they would know you were doing that because the plaintext is significantly smaller than the ciphertext.

    But they could almost definitely recognise a TrueCrypt partition...

    I thought 0x5c was for a segfault? I've seen it in a BSoD before...

    Yeah...0x0000005c is so much better!

    I'm not trying to spread FUD, I'm just trying to give one idea of what the GP could have meant if it's true.

    Unless there's been actual evidence one way or the other I wouldn't consider either opinion FUD.

    Well it keeps to the spirit of their software! It just works.

  19. Re:OSS Chain Gang. on The Unemployed Working on OSS Projects · · Score: 1

    Well if they know how to code and choose to do that instead of whatever other community service they would otherwise be doing then why not?

  20. Re:I'm sorry, Google on Google Web Accelerator · · Score: 1

    A "Web Accelerator" designed for broadband connections, what kind of crack are your PhDs smoking?

    It doesn't just accellerate your connection, it probably uses a cached page so that you can negate things like a Slashdotting, Googleblatting, etc.

    Those cheeky North Koreans have funny little nucular[sic] weapons, let's give them the benefit of the doubt too, at least until they start launching them.

    Substitute North Koreans for Americans and see how different your opinion is.
