    You just needed an invitation from someone who had an account.

    The reason those didn't get tossed around willy-nilly is that you were held accountable for the problems caused by people you invited.

    For example, had I invited you, and you got banned for uploading porn torrents, I would be banned as well (and perhaps everyone else I invited)

    I don't understand what relativistic deep space combat has to do with F22s in atmosphere.

  4. Re:CAcert audit on BT Begins Customer Tests of Carrier Grade NAT · · Score: 1

    You can't audit a web of trust like you would audit a centralized authority.

    CAcert is a bandaid on a broken system. It works, but it doesn't "fit."

    Maybe you should go learn what CAcert is, before holding your breath for an audit that would be meaningless.

    I've never had NAT, and I've never had to avoid it either.

    I think you're confusing where the NAT lives. This is NAT outside of your zone of control. That's the problem.

    Strange, as it lets me do my work on one image and then easily apply it to the whole roll.

    Sounds like you just didn't spend 5 minutes of time learning how to work it.

    Neither does "mother" for that matter. There's a difference between ma, mama, mom, momma, and mother, I would expect Norwegian to have short words for it as well.

    Just about everything in every language can be used to refer to genitalia. This is new to you?

    That's very strawman of you.

    Then you bought an upgrade. If you try to install on a clean drive, you're going to fail activation later on.

    You're kind of missing my point. My point was that adequate controls are not going to be practical, because when it comes down to it, they can just build the damn thing themselves and end up with something more sophisticated than a .22 on a stick.

    Apparently you didn't even look at it, let alone try it.

    It's Linux software. That you can even build it for Windows, you should take as a blessing. Obviously Windows users are not the primary audience, and it's user base would be even smaller than Gimp, so not a lot of effort has been placed into cross-compiling or distribution of binaries.
