  1. Re:I like the concept, not the implementation on WikiLeaks Set To Release Unpublished Iraq War Docs · · Score: 1

    What if we made it a crime to over-classify documents, with identical punishments to disclosing classified material? Seems like an easy fix to me...

    Cannot work - how are you supposed to ever find out something was over-classified?

  2. Re:Ah the joys... on The Recovery Disc Rip-Off · · Score: 1
    Heh.

    Living in a 200k people city in Germany I have like ... a lot in my area. Plus buying online is not problematic since sending back bought products is allowed here and has to be handled by shops.

    So yes... maybe getting some decent hardware seems to be a problem in those rural areas - I hate to admit it.

  3. Re:Ah the joys... on The Recovery Disc Rip-Off · · Score: 1

    How many shops will unbox a PC that has no floor model to let me test it? Or (in the case of small form factor machines with no built-in optical drive) let me plug in a USB DVD-ROM drive? Or unbox a printer or scanner and let me connect it to a floor model PC?

    Bah.

    Ever considered this to be an indicator of whether to buy there or not?!

  4. Re:The paradox is evident... on Wolfenstein Being Recalled In Germany · · Score: 5, Informative

    It clearly shows that you have absolutely no clue of what you're talking about.

    Being from Germany I can assure you that Nazi symbols are not banned from any history book or documentation or whatever. But presenting Nazi symbols in another context than education (or similar) is not allowed.

    This ban helps keeping Nazis under control - you have a simple thing in your hands to kick their butts with this law and others. Additionally, regarding the well known history of Germany there is NO REASON to show, wear or use Nazi symbols other than for a) education (allowed) or b) propaganda for forces against the German democracy (disallowed).

  5. Linux what? on Linux Lupper.Worm In the WIld · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So it's just the name of the worm or does anyone seriously think this is a Linux-worm? It's a web-server worm - nothing more than that!

  6. Re:Additional Coverage on Linux Desktops in New Zealand Schools · · Score: 1

    You might want to try http://thegraveyard.org/skippy.php/. I have heard of numerous success-story in the Gentoo forums - could eventually be exactly what you are missing.

  7. Re:Experienced Gentoo users on Beginner's Guide to Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    What a useless thing to say. Gentoo is a voluntary distribution made by all sorts of people for all people.

    Discriminating people off their used distribution is childish beyond words - labeling something like this "Insightful" is a disgrace.

    Way to go, people!
    o.O
