  1. Re:What's next? on Text Message Spammer Wants FCC To Declare Spam Filters Illegal · · Score: 1

    Filtering is one thing, dropping another.

    I have no problems with an ISP putting suspected SPAM in a different place. Just deleting it? That's not so good.

    It's only murder if you kill a person.

    Spammers are not people, so...

  3. Re:Thanks! on Engineers Use Electrical Hum To Fight Crime · · Score: 1

    Seems like an entirely over-the-top solution.

    Just slap a freaking notch filter on there already.

    I see what you did there...

    Sure, if steel and the porcelain core were not different elements/compounds?

  6. Re:one-quarter the size on Air Force Sends Mystery Mini-Shuttle Back To Space · · Score: 1

    Last I checked size meant physical dimensions, not mass or weight.

    Unless you want to try arguing that two balls, otherwise identical but one made of wood while the other iron, are of a different size?

  7. Re:"Hidden" on top of a rocket?!? on Air Force Sends Mystery Mini-Shuttle Back To Space · · Score: 1

    Yea, I am amused as well. You know, because payload fairing is meant to keep you from seeing it right? Nevermind about drag. Nope, no reason at all you'd want to smooth the payload over during launch.

  8. Re:Timed with asteroid flyby on Air Force Sends Mystery Mini-Shuttle Back To Space · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually that sounds like an excellent opportunity to test the sensors. Can they track and get anything back from the asteroid? If you can catch a photo of an asteroid whizzing by, this tells you a lot about your effective capabilities.

    I'm impressed by the automated landing. Granted you don't have to be quite as careful as there are no meatbags inside, but it's still a damn cool feat.

  9. Re:I wouldn't jump the gun just yet on Samba 4.0 Released: the First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server · · Score: 1

    I think he's asking how things like group-policy would apply to linux clients.

    It is a good question.

    Why would you be adding/dropping fields outside of installation/upgrading?

    This new Samba release is the DC.

    Why does it require a specific SQL server? Coded by monkeys? SQL is SQL.

    Fine. "That does cover almost everything we, as a whole, object to."

    If you can't understand that, I can't help you. If you don't agree, fine. You're entitled to an opinion. However, you can't just say "nah uh!" and walk away. State how you disagree or move along.

  16. Re:So what's the word on software? on New EU-Wide Patent System Approved · · Score: 3, Informative

    Anything that can be distilled as "same as X, but on/with/in a computer" needs to go. That covers just about everything we object to.

    Mine does that sometimes. The fix?

    I think you should read the link in my signature.

    Not that your point is off... just that that is not what Free Software is about. (It's a pleasant side-effect)

    Still, it's better than what they had before. From the description I gather it's just a car with some armoring for the driver (only).

    You know, most GPS let you ignore an instruction and they will compensate. It's not like it has a fit and stops directing you entirely.
