  1. Up in arms? on Toyotas Suddenly Accelerate; Owners Up In Arms · · Score: 1

    If your car suddenly accelerates I would have thought you'd be better off keeping your hands firmly on the wheel.

  2. Must be some typography geeks here... on Web Open Font Format Gets Backing From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    If so, can you remind me which font is often known as "Dogfucker Sans" in typography circles due to the designer's criminal convictions for fucking both the family dog and his daughters?

    I though it was Garamond or maybe Gill, but I see no mention in the Wikipedia articles. Please help, as there is a limit to how many search terms containing the words "dog" and "fucker" that I'm prepared to type into Google in order to satisfy my curiosity. Especially at work.

    Linux dont seem to have this tweak. Right?

    You are unbelievably fucking stupid.

    Now, please explain in detail exactly how the tweak you are suggesting works, and include enough information on the various TCP congestion avoidance algorithms to make it clear that you know what you're talking about. You absolute fucking twat.

  5. Re:I Don't Have a .PST on Microsoft Opening Outlook's PST Format · · Score: 1

    is there any easy way to convert an .ost file to a .pst file on a personal machine?

    Yes, pay for one of the pieces of software that does this. They will probably be of wildly variable quality, so make sure to try all of them. Welcome to the wonderful world of commercial Windows software, an area where Linux just can't compete.

    Sony Acid, Sony Soundforge, Photoshop. uTorrent, Emule.

    I'm going to go way out on a limb here and suggest that you aquired the first three of those packages using the last two. Like every other Windows kiddie.

  7. Re:What to do get a try on Deadline Scheduling Proposed For the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    I did swith from CFS to Deadline about week ago.

    You could have saved yourself a really long, boring post if you'd just read enough to realise that this story is about something completely fucking different.

    I/O schedulers are not the same as process schedulers. Thanks for the tedious fucking anecdote though.

    And I would like to test the BFS.

    Yeah, I'd say you're probably in the target audience.

  8. Re:Linus won't allow that on Deadline Scheduling Proposed For the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    You can take your superior benchmarks and shove it. On older hardware, the difference in responsiveness with BFS is absolutely astounding.

    And yet nobody can demonstrate it. Lots of people can feel the difference, but they tend to be the kind of people that post in forums about how the kernel developers are saboteurs for not making Reiser4 the default Linux filesystem.

    In other words, fourteen year old faggots with aspergers who should stay the fuck away from Linux and any other OS that isn't Windows.

  9. Re:NO! Try Alfresco on What Desktop Search Engine For a Shared Volume? · · Score: 1

    It's traditional to use **** to imply expletives. Although I don't really see how just four characters covers "unbelievable half-baked cocksucking pile of shit".

  10. Re:work performance on Toyota Claims Woman "Opted In" To Faux Email Stalking · · Score: 1

    Unanswered question: how was her work performance before the emails? Was it really that much worse?

    I think what you're trying to say is, "It must have been pretty bad, because she's a woman. LOL, amirite guys?"

    Congratulations on never, ever getting laid.

    I have bonded 2 IPSec VPNs running over 2 ISP's to create a bigger (and cheaper) site-to-site link on the cheap.

    Not using that product you didn't. It uses OpenVPN for site to site connections, not IPSEC.

    Yo, there's a word for racist nerds - it's "libertarian".

  13. Re:Old Argument on Harald Welte Calls Out Netgear's Open Source Sham · · Score: 1

    This sounds like the same argument that's been going around within the Linux kernel comunity about the "Open-Sourceness" of all these drivers which use binary-blobs - in partuclar, a lot of wireless Ethernet drivers, and stuff like NDISwrapper. It's idealistic to want all software to be open - but for companies which pour a lot of intellectual property into their drivers and firmware, I find it understandable that they wouldn't want their work made available to competitors' products. If they're not using any open-source in their binaries themselves, it's no violation. My opinion is this - if you don't like it, don't use it.

    My God, you really are the genuine article, and by article I mean imbecile.

  14. Re:Why Windows 8 needs 128 bit. on Microsoft Leaks Details of 128-bit Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    With Windows taking up more resources exponentially with each new version, 128 bit was the natural next step.

    Thanks, this is just the kind of fresh, insightful humour that keeps me coming back to Slashdot day after day.

    Make sure to look both ways before crossing the road, as I would hate the world to be deprived of your talent by a speeding truck.

  16. Re:This is why God invented ECC memory on Google Finds DRAM Errors More Common Than Believed · · Score: 1

    This is why God invented ECC memory.

    They're using ECC memory, idiot.

    Even with ECC memory, gamma-ray- and neutrino-induced ECC memory errors cause our generic x86 systems to corrupt memory, and thus corrupt my database. Half the time it corrupts the system table indices which are always kept as a memory-mapped file. Somehow it manages to corrupt the tables themselves.

    However, I do not have even ONE line of evidence of a recovered ECC memory error from ANY of our generic x86 Linux machines. All we need to do is restore the database from a backup. It's usually corrupted beyond repair.

    If our database was regularly corrupting itself and the DBA kept blaming memory errors even though there was no evidence of memory errors, I think that DBA would soon be looking for alternative employment. Honestly, your story sounds pretty fishy.

    I say to Google: next time give AOL or IBM a call before you publish.

    I'm an incompetent DBA who can't even read articles, allow me to tell you what Google are doing wrong...

    Fuck this site.

    Your opinions also seem a little insecure.

    She then turned back around and asked me if she had checked my ID. I gave her a hard time because in this system I am assumed to be untrustworthy until she says otherwise so she shouldn't trust anything I tell her.

    Did they fix the hole that allowed imageshack and such to get hacked a while back? Did they ever even find out what that hole was?

    (The hackers claim 5.2 is safe, but for all we know, that could be a trick to make us upgrade to an even buggier version... the hack was in the name of avoiding full disclosure, so we'll probably never know exactly what they did, and thus not be sure it's fixed, and thus the incredibly anti-full-disclosure people demonstrate exactly why full disclosure is a good thing :-/ )

    You are quite incredibly stupid. Does that answer your question?

    From High School lectures on Nuclear Winter, our class was told that after the 27th nuclear detonation, anywhere on the planet, it wouldn't matter who won, or lost, for long, long, long time. Mainly because human civilization would be reduced to something slightly more advanced than Afghanistan.

    That's such a ridiculous and arbitrary thing to teach.
