    You are making a stupid assumption. You are assuming he ignored a court summons. I have yet to see o hear any evidence that he was properly served. Whose name was on the service documents? Whose company? If it didn't have his name on it he couldn't legally open it to see what it was.

    If they were properly served they did (maybe) but there seems to be a tendency for proper service to be documented incorrectly that is growing and growing.

  4. Do you know who Rob Pike is? on Google Engineer Decries Complexity of Java, C++ · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Do you know who you are dissing? Did you read the article? No, and no. He never said anything against C, he said C++ was too complex not C. So you echo him and slag him off over your misreading at the same time? One of the founders of your profession? Standards dropped? Yep, sure. But whose?

  5. Bit woeful, fail actually. on Tunneling Under the Great Firewall? · · Score: 1
    You say that there is no human right to health care etc.... Then you say that forceful taxation violates human rights. So, I guess you decide what rights are and who is human? Consistent much?

    In actuality there is no such thing as rights. Rights are what we, collectively, decide them to be.

    Most civilised countries have healthcare as a right. Primitive ones don't. If you want to be primitive, that is ok by me.

    Additionally the UN has a declaration of human rights to which the US subscribes (but does not practice) and is thereby supposed to adhere to (see The Constitution of the United States of America) but fails to uphold.

    So, but me no buts. The United States of America cares little for human rights and even less so if those humans are not US citizens.

    You have no possible reply that is not hypocritical so I won't be responding any more.

    No universal health care, appalling wealth distribution, limited unemployment aid, expensive education, over a million Iraqi dead, The School of the Americas, Guantamo etc, etc. Yes, you are right. No care for human rights there...

    I didn't set aside $5. I set aside $330,000. But settlements can do horrible things. I kept my business but no operating capital. It will me take some years to recover. Since I do not use credit things are sometimes tight. What he is saying does not account for the vagaries of fortune which he will doubtless realise when he is older.

  11. Hired? on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to be. Bt I was in IT and the young never believe the old can be wise about anything. Yeah, I would love a job again.

    But I have ~30k of computer gear in use in this house. Bought when I could afford it. That was before a separation. So, you telling me I should sell my gear and use the library? That is a bit offensive. Particularly as due to ill health I can't climb the hill to it anymore. "You are old, father William the young man said...."

    It routes MILFs to his bedroom so he can root them. ["root" pronounced the same a "route" is Aussie for fornication] On the other hand, since route and root are homonyms in English (not American) a "wife router" would be her husband...

    In my life I have gone from broke to wealthy and back several times. Living in a social democracy has allowed me to take many risks. Aside that, circumstances change. They always do.

  16. Voodoo? on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not at all. Changing channels is a low work method to solve the problem which will take little time. Since it may very well fix it, it is an efficient first thing to do. Who needs to know about interference on an unused channel? Additionally they may provide information. For example, If all channels are blocked then it is not likely to be another Wi-FI issue unless something is majorly broken (to the point of not functioning). If the quick, cheap and easy fail then you assign resources to the problem.

  17. Problem with that idea... on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Fox and CNN supply different data. A Wi-Fi channel carries the same data. A difference that makes no difference.

  22. Internet on US Shows Interest In Zombie Quarantine Code · · Score: 1
    It is called the Internet and not the Web because the web is only on (or two) of the services which the Internet runs.

    The actual power of the Internet has been far from realised. We will go from cloud to something even more dispersed. Imagine for example a protocol where programmed objects can exist on different servers and services so the meme of the net being the machine is actualised. The Internet is far more than TCP/IP port 80 (the Web) and has hardly been developed since the invention of the Web. It could very well be said that the Web has almost fatally distracted the development of the Internet.

  23. Re:Information control is the goal. on US Shows Interest In Zombie Quarantine Code · · Score: 1
    And you information is not just controlled but false.

    Currently Australia has no Internet censorship and likely never will. Both parties are getting their knickers wet over it but they both know that a party that actually brings it in is dead in the water.

    What Australia is doing right now is considering how malware might be controlled and trying to produce a standard for it. An industry wide code. Eventually regulation, yes, control, no. They want it but I doubt they will be allowed it.

    A good parallel would be the Australian Broadcasting Company. Fully funded by the government but not controlled by it - despite many attempts. Similarly for the two SBS channels.

    I don't mind if traffic is monitored. I mind if the contents of the traffic is monitored.

  25. The answer is not that difficult. on US Shows Interest In Zombie Quarantine Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You make the laws according to the constitution. If it is important enough then people can break the rules and take the legal consequences. If you need to torture a terrorist, spy on someone, then break the law and do so. If you get the information you need great. You probably won't get a jury to convict. If you don't then you do the time. If you are not prepared to do that then what you did probably was not necessary. This only works when there is transparency and accountability. I think that once upon a time in England the hangman faced a court the next day but this may be just a legend. But that is the way it needs to work.
