Comment Re:Weather, not climate (Score 1) 387

I see a lot of these stories that don't actually claim to be a global warming story (because it isn't) but are presented in a way to leave the person with no other conclusion. The CBC in Canada is getting very good at this kind of sleaze. Their story that last year was the warmest ever in the northern hemisphere would have been put into much better perspective if they had also mentioned that it was one of the coldest on record in the southern hemisphere. But then people wouldn't wander off joining dots that aren't really there. Here are a few questions. How long has this site been recording temperatures? When was the last time the instruments were calibrated? Lets see some pictures of the site.

Comment Systemd (Score 1) 557

The move from init.d to systemd has at least tripped the length of time it takes me to boot. That doesn't even take into account the fact that I often have to reboot several times because the fsck tried to run before the encrypted /home partition was unlocked, or the fsck ran before the now mandatory relabel was done or any number of other combinations that put the machine into a cyclical death spin. Before you used to track maybe 10 start up processes now there are close to a hundred. Trying to keep them in order when every time you upgrade they get shuffled is impossible. And because you are now longer allowed to look at your system while it is booting ( compete stupidity ) you more or less have to use the force to try and guess at what might be going on. Systemd was a great idea with a pulse audio style implementation.

Submission + - LulzSec exposes 26,000 sex website passwords (sophos.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Passwords and email addresses of almost 26,000 members of adult website Pron.com have been released on the internet by the notorious hacking group LulzSec. To add to the victims' humiliation, LulzSec called on its followers to try the email/password combinations against Facebook, and tell friends and family of the users that they were subscribers to a pornographic website.

In addition LulzSec released passwords belonging to the administrators of dozens of other adult websites, and highlighted military and government email addresses that had signed up for the xxx-rated services.
