Comment Auto-update from Kingston (Score 1) 194

So there's auto-update form kingston. With just a few grand from his own pocket, he can just request for a specific update on his current IP while his IronKey is still inserted on his machine. The update would extract his keys USB keys. If he want more, maybe they can offer to email him his file containing the private key.

... so Linus just needs to build ECC into his kernel and be done with it. If hardware people won't listen to your needs, then create ECC at software side. A switch or option in your kernel to enable/disable ECC. No need to insist and argue with hardware geeks when you can just implement it on your side.

Comment Metal as Fuel (Score 1) 103

Similar to mercury propulsion system in Vedic Vimanas. Advanced space propulsion technology being researched now is directly inspired by ancient flying machines mentioned in Vedic texts (hindu holy book) such as Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Srimad Bhagavatham, Ramayana, etc. Seems alien scripts were just hiding in Hindu holdy books. Iron is metal and so is mercury.

The user literally can't do this. Only the system administrator can. That's the point. Stop being disingenuous. The system works fine out of the box on any modern system. I installed Fedora 29 on a system with 2 GB of RAM and did software development on it all day with no problems. In this case a clueless *system administrator* used privileged commands to bork his system then claimed that it had a problem.

Exactly. They seem to forget that "*nix is to OS" as "C is to programming". They have same philosophy. These OS and language wa built by programmers for programmers. This OS (*nix) and language (C) is a very sharp tool, you will hurt yourself if you don't know what you're doing.
