So, you allow relay without authentication, this is their fault how? You're bad at your job.

I really wish this law would come to the US. There are so many hit-and-run cases where people get away with murder (literally) because they can just ditch the car somewhere, maybe break a window, get picked up, and claim it was stolen.

Unless you can ID the driver in the US, you have almost no case against hit-and-runs.

Yea, I was happy to see Ubuntu doing something with basic SMART output by default. The main problem is the more advanced health detection values are basically noise unless you're the manufacturer or a big enough disk customer that they will let you in on the secrets. But like you implied, lots of drives don't output sane values.

Yes, more bubble up health reporting would go a long way toward making computer support easier.

Yea, I would like to see a better communication method for these error to be communicated up from the kernel through userspace. Most of the time when a "normal" user gets errors for EIO, they see some kind of crash or debug message. If the filesystem could simply put the filename with the error into a list for some userspace service, the GUI file manager(s) or some health monitoring service could notify the end user with something a little more descriptive.

This could also let the user activate the relocation write scrub for that file.

I guess this is all stuff that can be solved in the more advanced filesystems like ZFS/btrfs where they can simply read the replicated copy or recover with the RS code blocks. Then the end user doesn't even know they had a platter defect outside the relocation count.

It's not a satellite. It's mostly a set of EVDO towers pointed/tuned for aircraft not ground-based cell phone users. Although it looks like they might use satellite in the future to cover ocean travel.

The latency has been pretty good for the most part, on par with EVDO on the ground.

Mmmmm.. milk fat. So tasty.

Thankfully many american grocery stores carry HTST milk products. Many of are non-homogenized. It's limited to the smaller organic/co-op type places, but thankfully they're more common than they used to be.

Why would you make bread with honey OR sugar in it? Bread shouldn't have that stuff in it. I want a loaf of bread, not cake.

Take a look at this example: http://acmebread.com/bread

Pain au Levain
* Organic unbleached wheat flour, organic whole wheat flour, whole wheat starter, sea salt, and malted barley flour

Why not zoidberg?

LiveJournal, hopefully just temporarily. There are about 45 of us on there now.

+1 to this.

Unless you have a business case where you know you need something different, stick to what's simple and what works.

ext4 is also a nice option over ext3. It uses extent instead of bitmap block allocaiton which improves metadata efficiency with no downside.

With modern machines you only spend about 2% of your CPU handling the HTTPS part of the transaction, especially with HTTPS connection re-use handling. Back when they first started enabling HTTPS I calculated that it might take one more rack of machines to handle all the HTTPS needs for facebook in a worst-case situation. One rack is a drop in the bucket for the http front ends these days for service as big as facebook.

I suspect you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Also, that has nothing to do with PCCW not filtering BGP announcements.

The fact that the guess was within 500 miles is kinda amazing.

These actually exist in many cities now. I have a nice modern mid-sized apartment in San Francisco. It's loft style with concrete between me and my neighbors.

We had a few issues with some early-20's adults acting like they were 16 and throwing absurdly loud parties at 1am. Thankfully things have settled down and my building is fairly pleasant now.

In SF it seems like people in owner-occupied condos are much more civilized.
