  2. Re:It happens every year on $700 Billion Bailout Signed Into Law · · Score: 1

    naw, even bigger con job going on since 1913 by the international banking cartels establishing our local branch office, the Federal Reserve. This bailout just gives them another big asset, more debt on our heads.

    no stopgap measure, it will take months to implement anyway (with huge conflict of interest of the outside wall street contractors who will manage the toxic asset purchases).

    so this whole thing of being needed to pass "immediately" is a crock of bullshit and lies. There are plenty of better alternatives, and over a hundred economists including nobel laureates petitioned Speaker of the House and president pro temp of the senate not to do such a foolish thing.

    just as long as you're not advocating any of that ungodly same-charge attraction and strong force coupling, that queer stuff needs to stay in the closet, dammit!

  6. Re:Damnit!!! on Wall Street's Collapse Is Computer Science's Gain · · Score: 1

    it's much worse than that, the bailout has a wee bit of a "scope creep", to cover not just subprime based instruments, but any "troubled asset" having major impact on markets. there is over $1,000 trillion in "bad paper" out there, and these fools and idiots in washington are going to borrow their way up that mountain. pointless, futile and hopeless.

  7. Re:Linux is web HA, Solaris is critical and financ on NYT Ponders the Future of Solaris In a Linux/Windows World · · Score: 1

    sounds like fanboy talk. really serious financial places use mainframes or non-stop or heck, an OpenVMS cluster can have an uptime in decades as machines are moved out and upgraded. no skanky Slolaris box is going to touch that.

    for non-clustered some things shine even more brightly than Sun, I see the top ten tcp-c non-clustered benchmarks aren't held by sun boxes but by ibm, fujitsu, hp, nec, bull.....

    maybe Oracle shouldn't run on Linux. maybe people that want such a dbms can buy their $760,000 DBMS and run it on HP/UX or windows. fuck 'em. meanwhile the open source DBMS feature set grows and soon will bite Oracle in the ass.

  15. Re:LSB - just say no on How the LSB Keeps Linux One Big Happy Family · · Score: 1

    You've just said, if a KERNEL kills windows...which is nonsense.

    a distribution is a complete operating system. there are many operating systems based on the Linux kernel. sure, many are very similar Yes, they do compete in a sense (and borrow from each other in a happy incestuous orgy that benefits everyone).

    but the fact is use of Linux based OS is growing, even in spite of all this arguing that bothers you so much. tough.

    except it's not true, lsb compliant rpms can and do fail with alien, as do many other rpms. So Debian is can be MOSTLY lsb compliant (if you install the layer)

    nope, that's just a bunch shilling baloney.

    Ubuntu 6.06 has a compatibility layer that gives it LSB 3.1

    That's it.

    Debian says they're planning on it. Everyone hold their breath.

  19. LSB - just say no on How the LSB Keeps Linux One Big Happy Family · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's for rpm based commercial distros. Debian doesn't fit, and the "alien" program doesn't work on everything. Since I use Debian on servers and Debian-derived on desktop, I don't care about the LSB, I care more about the standards of the Debian project.

    you've just made a compelling argument for cutting off bandwidth. In national emergency when lines are saturated, idiot bothers 911 center with stupid requests, cut them off for twelve hours, and if a real emergency arises in that time them they can fuck off and die. who needs high maintenance stress puppies? no one, that's who. idiots clog adsl lines hitting too many news videos, cut them off. no problem.
