Last week I installed opensuse. When I tried to send an email using the mail command, Postfix was giving me odd permission errors for maildrop. So I went to look at the Postfix log, and there was none that I could find.
I've been kinda sitting on the sidelines about systemd all this time.. I still run init based startups on my debian boxes (wheezy and squeeze currently in use, on 2 machines.)
I hear so much... hatred for this program... now as someone who's mostly not researched this... what is good about systemd over init scripts, besides supposedly ridding ourselves of the need for init scripts? I won't go into why I think that's probably not a good idea in general, but anyway. I hear so much hatred and so much 'it breaks this and breaks that.' I've never heard one good thing about systemd?
Based on the tone of the anti-systemd camp, I'm certainly afraid of this.. thing. Where's the big shiny beacon of 'this is cool you should use it, this is why' camp?
Tech goons are tech goons, and you better believe it, if you're any of these colorful adjectives, they're going to toss it around to each other for a chuckle.
What do you expect? Employees always make fun of ***** customers. It's just a fact of life. I know Comcast in general sucks at customer support, but face it folks. I'd be willing bet most tech support call centers, regardless of the product they're supporting pass around stories with lots of colorful adjectives about you.
Sticking it in your internal support database is a little crass and over the top perhaps, but.. not surprised. When you're the worst customer support in American, all bets are off, go the extra mile to alienate the people paying you.
Well, it sounds good on paper, but most people drive faster than the speed limit, making the slow drivers very much a serious hazard. So, frankly, you being the goodie-two-shoes driver is actually putting you at higher risk of an accident. Sorry about that. The BEST speed to choose when driving on the highway is the speed the traffic around you is going, to minimize lane changes by other drivers (the cause of many accidents.) So frankly, you are in the minority and therefore the problem, not the speeders. Drive a safe and responsible speed for the roads you're on, and it's often not the posted limits.
Goodie-two-shoes driving sounds great on paper, but in practice.. well, it's going to get you killed man. If not by an accident, then by a road-raging driver who shoots you or runs you off the road.
I have DVDs that I've burned as a teenager kept in a nice, high-quality soft "archival" binder for the last 18 years. Nearly all of them, of varying quality/expense, are unreadable due to degradation.
Same experience as this guy. While I do have a handful of CD's that were written 15 years ago that're still readable, I have a ton of DVD's that have degraded and caused loss of data that were written less than 5 years ago.
Optical media, at least the writables we as consumers have access to are completely inadequate for long term storage. No comment on BluRay consumer writables however, as the loss of data from using DVD's for archival really turned me off of optical media.
Magnetic tapes or sealed HDD's are probably the best bet. I am currently using a pair of 2GB external HDD's for my long term archival of data, which I mirror periodically, keep one in a safe place (usually at least) and the other is my working copy. When one fails, I will replace it with a similar HDD. This to me is the easiest solution, and resilient enough for my needs as well as portable.
Didn't Swatch try this same ploy with Costco, trying to go after them for buying their junk from one country to resell it else where? And they're losing every court battle over it, too.
Sadly, doubt anyone will try to drag UbiSoft into court over video game key revocations.. but yeah.. what they are doing has set precedent against them having a leg to stand on in a court.
You've just entered the same realm as Sony as a completely assbackwards company with no respect for your customers whom I will never do business with again, no matter what.
(not that I had a very high opinion of UbiSoft as it was, but this kind of shenanigan just brought it to the bottom.)
If police feel they are under threat by being identified, then why the heck are in they in clearly marked cars, wearing recognizable uniforms? I mean, if you're going to say knowing where you guys are is a problem then lets go all the way, get into normal cars and wear normal clothes.
Or you know, you could try not treating most of the population like lesser people than yourselves and show a little respect for people occasionally. I'm getting really tired of Law Enforcement's "we're better than the civilians" attitude.
I guarantee that your life will not be adversely affected if you were to just drive 5mph BELOW the speed limit everywhere you went, all the time. In fact, you could even save someone's life, will experience less stress, and usually save money on gas and tires.
Sorry bro, logic fail here. There are many cases where driving less than the speed limit is actually MORE of a hazard than driving the correct speed for the highway. I can't even begin to tell you how many times a slow driver has caused problems or even an accident. They are just as much a hazard as the speeders.
People just need to pay attention to what is going on and drive speeds that are appropriate to the conditions of the road, including weather and other drivers. In my opinion, speed limits (on freeways & highways, mind you, on city streets I agree everyone should be VERY close to the limit posted) are more of a 'recommendation.' Having just returned from a roadtrip into and out of the San Diego CA area, I can tell you, most people drive faster than the posted limits, but not excessively. Most drivers seem to pick a speed that is safe for the conditions. It's the idiots who have no clue how to drive and drive inappropriate speeds (faster or slower than the posted limit) that are causing problems.
That's a chimera, it something that anyone with any technical understanding of security issues knows does not and cannot ever exist. It's like building a lock that only "good guys" can open: computer systems, just like physical locks, cannot distinguish between good guys and bad guys. If you build a weakness into a system that police can access with warrant, then so can $EVIL_COUNTRY's state-sponsored hackers, with no need for such legal formalities.
Yeah, you also forgot to point out.. what self-respecting bad guy is going to use the government approved and mandated locks? None!
The whole idea is retarded on so many levels, it leaves me flabberghasted that any supposedly 'intelligent' person would even suggest this, yet.. our beloved POTUS has done just that...
I dunno where the President gets his information from.. but.. Seems to me, even if you could pass any sort of law requiring everyone to use some backdoored encryption method so police and intelligence goons are listen in when courts say its ok.. with me here? If that happened... what delusional idiot thinks the bad guys are going to use the method the police/intelligence can easily spy on? Does anyone in government really think they're are that frickin' stupid? Nobody is that stupid.
That's why most of the posters here are all singing the same tune: "Not going to work, just spying on everyone EXCEPT the bad guys with this retarded idea."
Really? The POTUS is this stupid? Wish I could say I'm surprised.
1) Don't run your fileserver on your router/firewall. You're asking for problems.
Really? What problems might you be speaking of? I've been running router+firewall+CIFS file server on the same box for at least a dozen years, never had a problem yet.
I'm with ya there! I was glad the rollout of the new 'wanna-be-SimCity' was a flop cuz I managed to get a refund for it. Terrible game. Wouldn't even pirate it. SC4 was the last true SimCity.
This. SimCity 4 was in my mind the last SimCity game. The two games that followed it with that 'brand' on it (SimCity Societies and SimCity 2013) are not part of the series. They're just bad ripoffs.
Since you are boycotting them how again were YOU hurt by the PSN outage?
Sony deserves hatred. And they have hurt me, by filling my news pages with their ineptitude of being hacked, what, two, three times in 2014 alone? Go away Sony and go away Sony lover.
On the other hand, I suspect that many Sony employees had a much less pleasurable time of cleaning up the mess.
Payback for the CD Rootkit they infected millions with is sweet irony. I cry tears of joy every time I hear about Sony getting hacked. No company deserves it more.
When you can download or watch it for free. I have never gotten the people around here who say piracy doesn't hurt sales, of course I am going to seek the cheapest method possible to get it. I don't give a shit about DRM/IP/etc.. I am cheap and not some evangelical mission.
Because you wouldn't have bought it anyway, duh.
Mod parent up. Piracy has always been a non-threat. Pirates don't buy. They're never a missed sale, they're simply a no-sale.

Start on page 254 of his book and work your way through as he describes the field and how it (supposedly) permeates everything.
This just instantly makes me think of "The Force."
