  2. Re:2^52 on Preparing To Migrate Off of SHA-1 In OpenPGP · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    but if my math is correct

    Actually it's wildly wrong;

    2^57 is way bigger than 144
    2^52 is also much bigger than four 4

    2^52 / 2^57 = 0,03125 = 3,125%
    ^none of those are equal

    you must be REALLY stupid

  3. Re:illegal file-sharing? on EU Rejects Law To Cut Pirates Off From Their ISP · · Score: 2, Funny

    I found this quite ironic when I went to see if they had any other images like that http://questioncopyright.org/cm/images/

    Some of us enjoy that you insensitive clod! By which I mean that if that's the best you can do for crap on RTÃ ( I bet /. can't handle the proper spelling of RTE) then you aren't trying very hard. As for political matters you're very right, but it's worth bearing in mind that RTÃ really led the liberalisation of the country in the last few decades ( Gaybo's Late Late and the Riordans).

    Also, get off my lawn. Damn kids. And if you ball lands in my yard again, you're not getting it back.

    Real men use a M1 Garand to keep the kids off their lawn ;)

    Real men use use this. And just so it's not offtopic I compare the two. Google is massive and can do anything, alpha may be useful in some circumstances.

    Is modding this funny libelous or just insensitive?

    Long live Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky!

    Is it not a little ironic that they are all long dead?

  10. Parent implies link to virus! on California Family Fights For Privacy, Relief From Cyber-Harassment · · Score: 5, Informative

    -MILDLY IMPORTANT-
    If you do go to that website be warned, it does contain the images mentioned but also a video. THIS VIDEO IS A VIRUS. It didn't run very well in WINE but some people have less secure nonfree operating systems.

    tl;dr
    If you go to her name dot net the video is a virus.

    What incentive does linux have to get you to use it? etc.

  16. Re:What about deltas? on Use apt-p2p To Improve Ubuntu 9.04 Upgrade · · Score: 2, Informative

    $diff slashface-1.1.deb slashface-1.2.deb> slashface1.1-1.2.debdelta

  17. What about deltas? on Use apt-p2p To Improve Ubuntu 9.04 Upgrade · · Score: 1

    I honestly cannot understand why they don't just release deltas against the old packages. They don't really change greatly between releases and most people do keep a reasonable number of packages in the apt cache. I know it won't work in every single case but maybe only then should they fall back to the full download. Getting the whole thing every time seems hideously inefficient.

    Please someone show me where I'm wrong (in a helpful way if you can manage, bonus points for analogies).
