    The fun begins when they start noting illegal commands and retaliating. Fun.

    ... and the severity is different as well.

    What's worse? A weak cipher, or an escalation? Depends on the use certainly... but yea.

    Oh I already have. And that wasn't my neighborhood, but a piece of shit one that was in the way of me getting to work back then (unless I wanted another hour on the bike ride...)

    Yes, exactly. You will notice that that error was found and corrected fairly quickly, and didn't rot around for almost two decades...

  5. Re:My excuse on Sitting Down Too Long Is Bad Even If You Exercise · · Score: 1

    I used to ride my bike through a nice little place called the Rainbow Village. Definitly sketchy. One evening, I was followed by a car who turned their lights off shortly after spotting me. I got away, because I hopped a barrier and rode through a construction site they couldn't drive through. Scary, but only happened once in the year I worked along that route.

    Now, I would have to ride across the Gandy Bridge - only just shy of 3 miles, but I don't fancy riding across the bridge at 2pm in rainy weather... I'd be more worried about a car hitting me than the water though.

    But... I gotta do something. I'm a mess right now, and it is only getting worse.

    Erm. Yes, I made sure compositing and such was off.
    It's most noticeable with Firefox and Thunderbird, but it terminals... you can actually watch the windows redraw when they change.

    Did you not read my post? I have had nothing but poor performance EVEN DRAWING A WINDOW.

    Yea, when you get a slideshow when you scroll an email down... yea, that's "mostly completely acceptable for all 'normal' desktop use".

    Indeed. Intel graphics are useless for nearly every use. Even if you don't do 3d - 2d window drawing and other operations seem to cause X to use a lot of CPU for some reason. This only happens with intel.

  9. Re:Dual-license on Providing a Closed Source License Upon Request? · · Score: 1

    Oh, I didn't realize that. Really? The license itself is copyrighted? That seems... odd.

  10. Re:Dual-license on Providing a Closed Source License Upon Request? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, I was speaking as the licenser.

    And the name of the license doesn't matter. It's the legalese that does.

    Does anything stop you from altering the BSD 3-clause to remove said attribution clause?

  12. Re:What if it was really a bomb? on Police Called Over 11-Year-Old's Science Project · · Score: 1

    Read it again. The counseling was recommended NOT by the administration, and was recommended in the context that the child and parents were extremely upset.

    Indeed, 'tis a common signature of a tool.

    A coil gun, by contrast, does not. The term rail/coil is often exchanged, even though they are completely different ways to do the same thing - electrically accelerate a projectile.

  15. Re:Article Has No Meat. on Using EMP To Punch Holes In Steel · · Score: 1

    If you are doing parts for the aerospace industry, I'm betting you won't be doing 600 strokes/minute with dull tools, either.

    I've been using XFS at home for about a year now. I've got a UPS, but it only lasts about 5 minutes. It's enough that little blips from stuff turning on/off don't bother it.

    No issues yet.

    quick tip:

    If you can, set up "ntop" on a device that sees all of your net traffic.

    These statistics can be invaluable. You'll see exactly what is eating your bandwidth.

    ... am I the only one disturbed by companies playing at this tax game?

    They use us down to nothing and don't give shit back in taxes. That's fair.

    You have to admit, annoying as it is, the situational awareness fostered by this (you can only smack into an obstacle so much before you start paying attention) is not a bad thing to have.

    Just what is (R4,NZ,OZ,TL1,TL2,TL3) supposed to signify?

    I'd recommend you all get over your stigma and pick one up. Those things are the shit, and I mean that in a good way.

    There's just something disturbing (on a fundamental level) about fucking the shredded body parts of an animal.

    Lets put this in perspective. Go find a cow. Stab it. Now fuck the knife wound.

    Yea, that's basically what your doing there with your "truck driver's cunt"
