  1. Re:similar to Snow Leopard on Hidden Fees Discovered For "Free" Windows 7 Upgrade · · Score: 1

    It is even worst for me!

    I spend EUR 49,- for SL upgrade ( family pack ). I get per mail.
    Then Apple send me 3x a free SL upgrade, the bastards ;-)

    "When does Ford sue GM for making vehicles?"

  5. Get over it! on Senate Hearing On Laptop Seizures At US Border · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For how many years are you not allowed to bring guns on airplanes.

    Still the second Constitutional amendment states:
    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    Well at that point you bear Arms, or am I way off here?

    That is the reason why you should always buy all software from Microsoft.

  7. Let the games start on Air Force Aims for Control of 'Any and All' Computers · · Score: 1

    Who will be better?

    The NSA with SELinux to protect us or the Air Force with the ultimate root kit?

  8. Re:I don't understand the difference on Debian Cluster Replaces Supercomputer For Weather Forecasting · · Score: 5, Informative

    Many distro's add kernel patches and add different drivers to the initrd.
    Also the core os ( most minimal installation ) has many different tools and libs.

    Also at time of release they can pick from many different versions of a single package.
    That in combination with what version of GCC and compile flags can and does make a huge differance.

    And at least with Debian you really do know how the systems was build, with RedHat I still wonder...

  9. Re:Half way solution: GPS on Playing With Atomic Clocks At Home · · Score: 1

    Okay first of all I am **NOT** some time freak but...

    The latency on the USB bus is so bad that you get a better time using NTPD, even when using a server on the other side of the world!

    But it does have a better nerd factor so good luck!

    "There are 11 types of people in the world, those who know binaries and those who don't."
