    Isn't everything, eventually?

    "Engineering is the art of compromise."

    Your sig is oddly relevant to your comment.

  3. Re:Not much of a problem... on Finding Fault With Google's Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    If they sue me it will be because they fucked up and confounded me with someone else.

    And you're comfortable with this, seeing as they've proven that they always have a good reason to sue and never make any bad assumptions about technical details.

    Right?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Df_(Unix)

    For those too lazy to even click the link:
    DF (disk free) is a Unix system utility that's assumed to be in the path (In /usr/bin/ on his system, apparently. It's in /bin/ on mine.) Deleting or overwriting it would be a bad thing, as it's a standard part of any Unix system, and taken for granted by anything meant to run on them.

    It's a shame there's no -1, LIES mod...

    Okay, I'll bite.
    Linux is only FREE if your time is worthless. With some distros like Ubuntu, you can install faster and easier than you can with XP, and still use the computer while it's working. So, not only is the software free, but it uses less of your precious time to install it.

    How about the band '!!!'? They say it 'chk chk chk', so you can find them that way, but still...
    Add that to the list of weird things you learn from random wikipedia articles.

  11. Re:Hacked... on Ubuntu Servers Hacked · · Score: 2, Informative

    The problem is that most people don't know these things. Most people seem to think that when Juliet asks "Wherefor art thou, Romeo?" she's asking after his location.

  12. Re:So I read it right? on ATI Driver Flaw Exposes Vista Kernel to Attackers · · Score: 1

    You could argue that kernels don't matter much anyway, as long as they're posix, and that's true, to an extent, but most desktops are now embracing HAL, etc., which are linux-specific.

    From Genesis 4:

    13 Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."
    There were clearly other people on the Earth at this point; who else would Cain be worried about killing him?
    Anyway, here's the story of Cain and Abel, if you'd like to read it; many people haven't.

    Nuclear subs are steam powered; they use the reactor to make hot, which makes steam.

  16. Re:Oh, it's the worst... on On the Widespread Misuse of the Mouse · · Score: 1

    You could open up a charactor map. That would speed things up, and it's all in nice asciibetical order.

  17. Re:Know your audience on Is RIAA's Linares Affidavit Technically Valid? · · Score: 1

    While you are correct, what he means is that putting punctuation inside the quotes, like 'John Does,' makes it seem like the comma is a part of the string literal, and not a part of the syntax of the sentence.

    I'm a Christian, and I find your argument ad hominem, off topic, and ignorant at best. If you aren't trolling, please keep in mind that a belief in a God, although shared by crazies and extremists, does not make one any less intellectually capable, any more than being a vegetarian makes a person evil because Hitler was one.
