Comment Re:Cygwin (Score 1) 226

Because it's a native subsystem on top of NT kernel as opposed to a windows subsystem dll. This means many things, but first and foremost, integration and access. The filesystem is presented perfectly, all the groups, users, environment, services are presented directly and in a true POSIX way. You get real sudo, real unix paths (/dev/fs/C/), case sensitivity, sticky bits, etc. Secondly, performance. I have installed and compiled applications for SUA, including apache, and it performs at native speed level. Lastly, you get a decent package manager. It also has a package manager. The only downside compared to the ugly hack of a Cygwin, is lack of packages. Anyway, you might not see the value in this native posix subsystem compared to Cygwin, but it exists for those who do, and it's sad that it won't be there.

How can there be a dictatorship of the proletariat if the dictator isn't a proletarian?

By the way of cause and effect, genius. Lenin was a dictator, as far as implementing the reforms for the benefit of the proletariat. If and where he were not, like Trotsky, he would be out of the picture. The way leaders rose up in Soviet Union is almost exclusively through factories and other manufacturing elections and performance and ideological criteria established by Bolsheviks.

WTF dude, you are arguing against yourself...and losing.

Go read something other than pop fiction.

Uh, are you aware of anything? First of all, I said 'elites'. The same capitalist elites that financed German production, from US and from Great Britain. Second, I'm talking about the births of ideologies, in past tense, which makes my iteration and your "point" utterly redundant. Lastly, what the hell does Lenin's status has to do with anything? He was a slightly nutty revolutionary who acted out what he preached, so of course he couldn't be a proletariat at the same time.

Even though the nazi party committed crimes against humanity on a regular basis Germany wasn't an evil empire with sole purpose of doing evil.

Yes, it was, you idiot. Do you understand the difference between Nazism and Communism? Communism is the dictatorship of the proletariat born in the fight against oppression of the British capitalist elites. Nazism is the dictatorship of the supreme race inheriting from the British and international capitalist elites. In the name of my grandparents who fought and died for communist ideals, fuck you.

Comment Re:KGB? (Score 1) 129

Have you not read the news since WW1? Because last time I checked, battles stopped being fought with sticks and stones since then. Soviet Union was strategically defeated using propaganda and dissident counter-culture that birthed people like Gorbochev, who by his own admission did everything possible to destroy the Soviet Union.
So yeah, of course Soviet Union didn't "lose" in Afghanistan, they pulled out, but what the hell does Afghanistan has to do with anything? Nothing, just like neither does conventional warfare for a very long time.

No, it is bigoted to claim that a totally different government entity that is stuffed by totally different people, is the same thing after 20 years of vehement anti-soviet liberal reform. You are one of the people who will keep saying 'KGB' until there is no country left at all, because that is your true bigoted goal. That would be the meaningful change in your eyes. Also, Soviet Union was defeated in battle just as much as Nazi Germany, thats why US called it the Cold War. The Soviets were driven out of the party 30 years ago, by liberal capitalists, ie Gorbochev and Yeltsin. You can come out of the closet now.

Comment kFreeBSD notes link broken. (Score 1) 250

Nice release notes. I love FreeBSD myself, for its unified and thorough quality, but I work where CenOS/RHEL is the standard. I've managed to force the install of Ubuntu Server on the web server, because I need some of the latest packages. Can someone explain what the advantages of the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is?

Rails and Merb Ruby Web Frameworks Merge 80

An anonymous reader writes "The Merb and Rails Core Teams today announced a major merger; the two projects will become one, and be released some time in Q2 of 2009 as Rails 3. This is great news for lots of folks who worried about the potential community fracture, as well as great news for all the developers who will now have an all-around better option for programming Ruby. Read more about the details in Yehuda's blog post, or at the Ruby on Rails blog."
