    Ah, but imagine you are an aristocrat in 1800s India. Quaffing tea, examining your monocle, trading spices, fighting wars. Then, sir, saying poppycock out loud is the least of your worries.

  7. Re:Photos? You mean people use FB for photos too? on How Facebook Stores Billions of Photos · · Score: 1

    I get updates like "Friend A has left a comment on photo X" with a link to the photo and comment - where photo X is in an album of person B - somebody I do not know. I can go view all the photos in that particular album. I'm not very up on how things at facebook work, but has Person B allowed full public access to their photos for me to do this?

    Not everyone prides themselves on using a 'cool' isp.

    OTOH, if Wikipedia linked slashdot on every page slashdot would go down, if do to nothing else but bandwidth exhaustion.

    Sounds like a dare to me. Gentlemen, start your packets!

    If they are retired, they don't have an employer liable for the fine, so its moot.

  12. Re:Interesting story... on A Cautionary Tale of Open Source Social Technologies · · Score: 1

    The main problem according to the article is that credit cards donations will not be accepted from Israel due to significant high rate of fraud from there. Forking your project won't do anything about that. The attitude in the article itself strikes me as a bit clueless and a little childish. They seem to be trying to attribute blame for this on coders of the projects in question. What it boils down to is some zealots getting all high and mighty, and making barely concealed threats, about something without checking some facts or asking nicely first. Nothing new there though.

  13. Re:Why not every time? on ICANN to Add Anti Front Running Charge? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Because doing stuff "for the money" is damaging to society in the long run.

    If indeed the current oil prices crisis is all about a few people gettng rich, rather than actual supply and demand - well thats hardly good for anyone, is it?

    Humanity is losing its empathy and that not a good thing overall.

    Sure, I'd love to be an easy made millionaire - but is doing so by rigging taxes/profits/artifical inflation/raison du jour and ripping off millions of less well off people the right way to do it?

    Easy fixes that both benefit people and financial sponges are only good in the short term. Proper fixes that mutually benefit everyone woudl be much better. I'm not saying I have the answers, but more thought into the entire cost cycle is a must.

    A small percentage of humanity is excessively greedy beyond its means. And that minorities needs to be excised by mass effect. Everyone must stand up and say no. Is making $6 at the loss of others that much better than making $3 each instead?

  14. Re:buy an external eSATA RAID5 array on Best Way To Store Digital Video For 20 Years? · · Score: 1

    Might want to invest in a UPS too. RAID wont save you from sudden power outage related drive crashes.

    If it has to be wireless I can't help, but have you considered USB over Ethernet http://www.google.com/search?q=usb+over+ethernet ? Or networking over mains power?

    Even better, you could tag each one so you can group them together more easily. May I be so bold as to suggest something like "thisoneisneeded" and "thisoneisadupe". See, folksonomies make everything better. No wonder Web 2.0 won.
