    Semantic differences, but my opinions and action remain the same.

    Gee, that almost makes me feel guilty for my "fuck you, I'm playing them anyways" attitude.

    Sorry, but I don't think you should have to pay to read/interpret media, any more than you should be charged to be allowed (not learn) to read.

    WPA supplicant is a mess. I should be able to type in a network name and passhprase at a prompt, and be done with it.

    Which contains one of these 'illegal' codecs. I think its all bullshit, and use it anyways.

    Or, like me, they will say "fuck that" and use "illegal" codecs, laws be damned.

    I'm not creating content with your proprietary codecs, so you can fuck off with your royalties.

    Please explain your math. How is 15/30 more than (20 < x < 60)/24 under any circumstances?

    ----
    30 = days/month
    24 = just some number between 3 and 4 weeks
    20 = your stated minimum
    60 = my observed maximum

    If you liked single player, MP is better. They've got games up for all styles of play, from "lets go kill shit" Diablo-style to "everyone got their character sheets filled out" DnD style.

    I guess that means it's really Cheney's fault, not really Bush.

    It seems to me, that Bush is more of an innocent idiot. Cheney however, knows what the fuck he's trying to do.

    Ah. You can't skip past what's buffered yet, so I didn't get to see the end. Scanned through the first quarter of each and thought "well, this is delightfully informative."

    No, I meant a bug report at Launchpad. Mozilla can do what they want, it is their trademark. Ubuntu can choose to play ball or go do something like Debian did with Iceweasel.

    I vote we push them to go with Iceweasel.

  15. Re:Single apple ipod touch bug slashdot worthy? on Users Report Faulty WPA In 2nd-Gen IPod Touch · · Score: 1

    If I have your mac, I can de-auth you. When that happens, I see you reauth. I do this enough times, I can brute your key out of those auth exchanges.

    Granted, you need to be using a stupid key to make that worthwhile, but WPA itself is not perfect.

  16. Re:Fair enough on Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Same here. I keep going back to Debian, but keep returning back to Ubuntu. Debian stable's repos are just too damn old, but testing and unstable are too... unstable. I'm not sure how Ubuntu seems to hit a balance between the two, but I would love to have a happy medium between Ubuntu's 'newness' and Debian's disposition.

    Then we should all start filing it as a bug until it gets fixed or they put iceweasel in.

    We don't know if it's offhand. Support of his opinion would be offtopic, probably long-winded, and probably earn him a few flamebait/troll mods just because.

    We don't need more legislation. We need the judicial branch (ie, the court the suit is going into) to do it's job. Whether that would lie in the town or the telco's favor, I won't side - but this is not something legislation should fix.

  22. Re:Satan created the controversy on Ubuntu Satanic Edition Banned From Distrowatch · · Score: 1

    You know, Satan is actually pretty fucking cold.

    Dante and Virgil, with no one to talk to, quickly move on to the center of hell. Condemned to the very center of hell for committing the ultimate sin (treachery against God) is Satan, who has three faces, one red, one black, and one a pale yellow, each having a mouth that chews on a prominent traitor. Satan himself is represented as a giant, terrifying beast, weeping tears from his six eyes, which mix with the traitors' blood sickeningly. He is waist deep in ice, and beats his six wings as if trying to escape, but the icy wind that emanates only further ensures his imprisonment (as well as that of the others in the ring). The sinners in the mouths of Satan are Brutus and Cassius in the left and right mouths, respectively. They were involved in the assassination of Julius Caesarâ"an act which, to Dante, represented the destruction of a unified Italy. In the central, most vicious mouth is Judas Iscariotâ"the namesake of this zone and the betrayer of Jesus. Judas is being administered the most horrifying torture of the three traitors, his head in the mouth of Lucifer, and his back being forever skinned by the claws of Lucifer. (Canto XXXIV) What is seen here is a perverted trinity. Satan is impotent, ignorant, and evil while God can be attributed as the opposite: all powerful, all knowing, and good. The two poets escape by climbing down the ragged fur of Lucifer, passing through the center of the earth, emerging in the other hemisphere just before dawn on Easter Sunday beneath a sky studded with stars.

    I know you are being funny, but CERN uses Scientific Linux. [scientificlinux.org]

    SL is a Linux release put together by Fermilab, CERN, and various other labs and universities around the world. Its primary purpose is to reduce duplicated effort of the labs, and to have a common install base for the various experimenters.
