  1. Re:wtf on Man Accused of Selling US Military Drones On EBay · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be security through obscurity? I'm pretty sure that's verboten in /. groupthink.

    But go on believing the politicians who tell you it's great. They wouldn't have anyting to gain from lying to you about it, would they?

    It's better for the poor. For the wealthy and upper-middle-class who could afford US style overpriced healthcare it's a form of charity, we suffer for the benefit of all. Those who don't like that are called Conservatives and they are trying to game the system, those that do like that are called martyrs and are trying to fix the system.

    I've seen something recently about him saying that his biggest regret with C++ is how he let too many people use it too early, but I can no longer find the interview. He's said before that he regretted it having been in such wide use before there was a truly useful standard template library.

    That sounds more like something Stoustrup would say.

    If anything, this demonstrates how safe nuclear power it.

    I hope that you can come back in five years and say that with a straight face. I think it's fair to say that at this point we have no idea what the long term issues will be with this reactor and the contamination.

    let's face it... that Godzilla sucked.

    Well Jean Reno was good, but yeah the rest of it was a waste of time.

    I watched the 3rd and 4th Doctor as a kid and I've found Mat Smith is doing a wonderful job of bringing the character back to life. (Tenent wasn't half bad, but a little too reminiscent of the 5th Doctor for me...)

  14. Re:Hartnell+Baker on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 1

    I'm a big fan of the 3rd and 4th Doctors, but the latest young fellow is not bad at all.

  15. Re:At the risk of my nerd card... on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Agreed. Maybe it's because he was the first Doctor I saw, but I still think he was the best.

    In Dr. Who fandom it's commonly said: "You never forget your first Doctor."

    I started watching Dr. Who in 1977 (I was eight...) when I spent four months living in an old manor house on the outskirts of Sheffield. So of course for me The Doctor will always be Tom Baker. He could even make K9 tolerable.

  16. Re:Well, that's sad. on Texas Site Pushes Back Known Settlement Date For North America · · Score: 2

    Either /. commenter creativity has hit a new low, or Texas's reputation is so overpowering that such jokes are inevitable.

  17. Re:Closed ecosystem on Apple Remove Samba From OS X 10.7 Because of GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think Apple is trying to totally close their software and hardware ecosystems so only they can provide software,

    You're right – that's why last time apple dropped a GPLv3 hot potato (GCC) they released their own alternative using the BSD license. Wait... no.

    Which means that the whole situation is a hell of a lot more complicated than the average pundit can handle.

    The comment above is insightful, highly relevant, and made in a calm, noninflammatory manner in the middle of a GPL vs. BSD argument. Obviously, iluvcapra should face a tribunal to decide whether he or she has violated Slashdot norms.

    I, for one, embrace our new insightful, highly relevant, noninflammatory overlords.

    Agreed. There is always the possibility that there is some history of anti-competitive behavior that we are unaware of. But short of that this just comes off as suing your competitor when you fail to compete.

    The assumption for linux these days is that the distributions will take the source and provide a distribution/version/architecture specific offering.

    For ubuntu there is a PPA and therefore an install process. I would assume that it's multi-architecture.
