Really. Author is an idiot. He should actually read something that is not a documentation volume for his beloved IBM mainframe.

Linux has cgroups support which allows to partition a machine into multiple hierarchic containers. Memory and CPU partitioning works well, so it's easy to give only a certain percentage of CPU, RAM and/or swap to a specific set of tasks. Direct disk IO is getting in shape.

Lots of people are cgroups in production on very large scales. There are still some gaps and inconsistencies around the edges (for example, buffered IO bandwidth can't be metered) but kernel developers are working on fixing them.

If it was good enough for Gagarin, it's good enough for everyone.

An easy fix, just set your locale in browser to Russian. Voila, no more video ads on YouTube.

Well, you really try to fail. You can't have it both ways.

If you're saying that people's will, not Constitution is above all, then certainly the will of hundreds of thousands of people in Ukrainian East should be honored? Right? After all, tens of thousands of people on Maidan were enough to oust Yanukovich.

If you insist on following laws, then all those in the government should be jailed for anti-constitutional revolution.

Nope. We can't. Because we don't trust nazi scum not to go and simply do their nazi-ish things once they don't need to keep appearance: http://www.rg.ru/2014/03/11/ki...

So in Ukraine it's against the law to air information that you happen not to like? And what about the law which forbids armed uprisings and attempts at overthrowing the government (ironic, I know)?

I'm a reserve officer with a military specialty in anti-air defense. I think I even have a comment on Slashdot about it. And the video looks exactly like a strike with NURSes.

Yatsenuk promised to write a new and better language law. Where is it? And then there's the fact that on the very first day a repeal of law forbidding nazi crime-denial was attempted. And of course, Maidan is not nationalistic and portraits of Bandera were never there. Yeah.

As for media censorship - what pro-Russian channels are there? Lots of anti-Yanukovich channels were on the air during Yanukovich's reign.



About SNBO. Right now it contains: Parubij, Jarosh and others.

As authentic as SBU's claims that all prisons in Kiev are overflowing with GRU agents. Or that Luhansk explosion was caused by an incorrect operation of an air conditioner.

BTW, another piece of trivia. It's impossible to shoot an Igla missile at an air conditioner - it simply won't lock and fire. Or rather the gunpowder charge in the launcher will push the rocket out of the barrel and then it'll flop to the ground right at your feet.

So shelling of cities is all ok? A nice position. The article in Korrespondent says that Right Sector militia simply shoots all suspected rebels. There are multiple corroborations from rebel sources, I just tried to find one from a pro-nazi resource.

Actions: cancellation of the Law about the languages. Media censorship. Lots of nazi scum in SNBO. President openly supporting OUN-UPA. Enough?

And since we're on a topic of conspiracies: http://fox-talleyrand.livejour... - so the SBU know about the downed plane BEFORE it was downed. Whoops.

Newton's law won't save you if you're flying at 4km and being chased by a well-aimed Igla. A small info for you: Igla's rocket engine is constantly engaged during its operation. At the end of its trajectory, Igla is flying at 2.3-2.5 Machs (or about 1000 meters per second). On a purely ballistic trajectory it can fly up to about 50 kilometers, disregarding the air friction.
The limiting factor is the _time_ of flight. Liquid nitrogen in the seeker head boils off after 14 seconds, that causes the rocket to lose target lock and triggers a self-destruct.

Have you seen prisoners of war from DNR? Guess so. Do you know why? Ukrainian military simply shoots all suspects, there are multiple confirmations of that. They even admit it, as if it's good thing: http://korrespondent.net/ukrai... (see around the phrase 'put against the wall').

And then, of course, shelling of cities and the infamous bombing of Luhansk.

So there's censorship of inconvenient information. Other than that - complete democracy! That's straight out of Orwell, you know.

Maidan fought for two things: EU association and after the initial crackdown for the Yanukovich ouster. There was no rhetoric about national unity or anything. Nazi scum rose to the top only by the end of it. Also, Maidan was against oligarchs and corrupt politicians.

And about this election? Sorry, an election where about 15% of the country couldn't vote is not democratic in any way or form. And you might notice conspicuous absence of praise from foreign election observers - there were tons of violations. Poroshenko would have probably still won without these violations, though may be not without a runoff election.

Do you think that the rocket immediately stops at 3.5km? Without any effects of terrain, speed of the target, firing trajectory and so on?

3.5km is a guaranteed height - the rocket can reach it in any situation, even when chasing a target. In better conditions it can fly higher, 4km is within range. 5 km is definitely outside, though.

And as for probability - both are likely. Ukrainian army is not playing nice (up to the level of war crimes) and is in a tight spot right now.

Odessa is not Russian-leaning. So nope, it doesn't count - try Luhansk for a change. BTW, a Pushkin statue was defaced in Kharkiv ( http://www.e-news.su/in-ukrain... ). Parubij is the secretary of SNBO and oversees the ATO.

Congratulations. You've won. Now you have a good old feudal society with local lords having absolute power. Just look at who are governors right now - it's a total perversion of what Maidan stood for. And there's now censorship on TV and in press (certain foreign TV channels are banned), the Parliament passed draconian anti-demonstration laws, there's a talk of purges (sorry, 'lustrations') and so on.

You REALLY can't learn how to use Buk without training. It IS an all-or-nothing system with lots of moving parts that require manual control to set up properly. It's an old weapon with little automatics and primitive computer systems and if you do something incorrectly, you can either break your system completely or in the worst case destroy yourself. There's no incremental training.

It's certainly not magical, just too complicated. Imagine trying to take off a Boieng 747 with no training. It's similar.

And no, misidentifying the target is certainly possible. I'd even say that it's the probable cause.

Igla can reach a little bit higher, especially considering the ground elevation. At the end of its trajectory it's moving at supersonic speed, so even small variations in starting conditions result in a wildly varying range. The hard limit is self-destruction timer linked to exhaustion of its internal gas generator charge or to boil-off of liquid nitrogen in optical tracking sensors.

It's also possible to get additional 100-200 meters of elevation if it's shot towards the approaching plane (it's tricky to get a lock in such conditions, but possible). And lastly, the rocket itself detonates within 40 meters from the plane to maximize the damage, so it's possible to get a little more altitude from that.

Hitting a target at 5km requires specialized MANPADs (like Grom missiles), I don't know if Ukrainian army had them.

Right Sector is a splinter of Svoboda party. And Svoboda have 8 cabinet positions right now: ministry of defense, prosecutor-general, lots of SNBO members, etc. And while Jarosh got 1%, Lyashko got 12.5% and Tyahnybok got another 2%.

And why should we wait for the crimes? Jarosh clearly states that Ukraine is for Ukrainians. Here's his direct quote: http://lenta.ru/articles/2014/... - "Russian speaking citizens should leave Ukraine, if they don't like it here"

Sorry, but that is nationalism that should result in immediate expulsion from politics in any self-respecting state. No arguments. No questions.

Is there even a reason why Russian-leaning regions should remain in Ukraine? Clearly, Ukrainians disdain 'vatniks' and 'Colorado bugs' from the East. And East also thinks that all of the Western Ukraine are fascist swine.
