Re: One slight niggle

Who needs fiber optics ? Mirrors suffice, the rest is just boffinry. Besides, I do not get this whole idea. They are using a Ferrari to tow a trailer ...

1. We have discovered organic degradation quite some time ago, why not use that ? If they insist on trying to create fossil fuel alternatives, they could also simply have the excrements dry out in a conventional, yet enhanced, sun oven (with only mirrors, no fiber optic bs).

2. This system is overly expensive, difficult to maintain, with very little gains and very poor performance in terms of m3 of waste - WTF are they doing ?

3. How are they gonna get the mass into there ?

I do not get it...

What they should do where they do not have sanitation facilities is use sun toilets ... This is just complete utter waste of resources and my time, thanks !

That NSA denial in full: As of right now, we're not pretending to be Facebook or Twitter

Hans 1

Re: lol

> I wonder how history will look back on the NSA and what form it will take in future.

History is always written by the victors, so until the bubble that is the US explodes, you probably know they have an incredibly high debt, the NSA will always be portrayed as a James Bond organization, keeping bad guys at bay. As soon as the bubble bursts, which will happen sooner than later, the NSA will be portrayed like KGB, Stasi, and all those other "ethical" agencies.

I mean arresting and torturing ppl because they wear the wrong model of a watch is pretty much fucked up. Yes, the NSA is doing just that across the globe, in complete impunity!

We were organizing political talks in a pub in town ... up until the point where the owner said we had to stop as he had been asked by the local intelligence agency. There were never more than 10-15 people participating ...

The agency also interviews judges to be after the written examinations, which obviously meant that a relative of mine would not get the job, seeing as I was politically active outside of the corruptible system.

Not anon because I might as well let everyone know who I am ... in case I vanish ;-)

Microsoft closing in on Apache's web server crown

Hans 1

GoDaddy went IIS some years ago as well, that caused a spike as well, back in the day.

IIS is for idiots. It is nice and easy SSO solution for corporate intranet in windows only shops with window cleaner admins, for us who understand this shit, LAMP/nginx/tomcat are way better alternatives. Besides, IIS runs on windows server only, nuff said.

What I like on netcraft, is the availability metrics ...FreeBSD and Linux beat everything else.

Brawling neighbours challenge 'quiet' cul-de-sac myth

Hans 1

cul-de-sac is French for "bottom of a bag", or, "arse of a bag", literally.

As for cats, I have chosen not to own one, as I often fly off to other parts of the world. I have, in the past, had to endure this situation and must say it is a nightmare. If you have pets, make sure they do not wander onto other people's property, if you cannot, you should not be owning a cat ... I ended up laying a trap ... and had the council come around, cat had no collar. I did see the advert for missing cat after that and informed the owner of what had happened.

My sister has this problem as well, in fact, worse ... the cat attacked a pre-teen in the garden, biting her hand so badly she needed stitches. We are not sure, of course, what exactly happened and do not know the owner of the cat; my sister is unwilling to lay a trap.

All that because neighbors have pets that they cannot control in urban areas ...

Yes, I am the bloke who opens the front door when I see ppl letting their dog do their business on the pavement in front of my house, I have bags available for the forgetful. Some ppl left their dog's feces in front of my door, that was enough ...

I also think phones are insecure by design for a reason.

Re: Company Car vs Company PC

In fact, if you do not know how to install windows by yourself on company kit you should not be allowed admin privs. Those other bright guyz in your company who never complain simply have reinstalled windows, not attached to domain, same username/password as domain account and never have any issues whatsoever ... if you do not know how to pull that one off, you do not deserve admin privs.

All jokes aside, I also have an HP lappy that is underclocked (1.2 iso 2.67Ghz) because it kept overheating during builds ... I swapped 4Gb for 8Gb RAM, my own RAM, swapped HD for SSD (also mine). I work from home. Lappy is HP EliteBook with i5.

For the others who do not know about ant, no, builds take much more oompf than crappy flash adds, believe me ... build uses 1-2Gb of RAM, easily, all four cores on my laptop are almost constantly above 90% usage, even at 2.67Ghz ... build time between the two clock speeds is about the same, the bottleneck is IO, I have a 500Gb SSD - the lappy came with windows 7, I dropped Debian on that. I almost halve build time on Debian compared to Windows 7 ... not sure why that is ... note that this is a biiiig application.

I need to position the laptop like /\ for it to build at 2.67Ghz without overheating - I cannot work during build without external monitor/keyboard/mouse and the noise is unbearable ... not worth it.

Waiting for a i7 tower with 16 or 32Gb ram and a second SSD for raid 0 - the shit is in subversion, all I need is speeeed.

Ohh, come on ... there are already lousy REAL names to choose from like "Elisabeth", "Nigel" or "Stanley", for example.

More seriously, though, if you cannot give your offspring a customary name you should not be allowed to raise one ... it is called responsibility or maturity. A kid is not a toy/game.

I seriously think we need to be much more harsh with saving kids from irresponsible, immature tutors.

No, I am not some [neo-]cons guy, I just think there are a lot of responsible potential tutors out there who cannot have children ... most of which even have functional braincells.

What do you mean there are no Surface Pros? HAND 'EM OVER, yell Microsoft resellers

Hans 1

She did say, however, that 1,000 devices had recently landed in distribution and by the next day, just 10 units were left after authorised device reseller feasted on them.

So they produce them in batches of 1000? Probably to avoid the embarrassment of another $1bn write down. Now, these batches vanish in no time? I think Apple/android probably have that issue with one hundred times bigger batches... lol

This is carefully orchestrated BS... all that for 4% market share, which obviously includes the loss making surface 1.

With MS Office goes exchange, with exchange goes windows server ... MS is dead, will only go downhill from here.

The only reason we had MS in the datacenter was because we were forced, this will change shortly for government and all their major contractors, and contractors contractors ... like dominos (the game, not pizza).

You do not know SVG so your opinion does not count, here.

BTW, OpenOffice, in all fairness, has an issue with Calc where you import CSV files with locales ... a , iso . for decimals, for example (1,5 iso 1.5 - French/German/... way of specifying decimals). But a bug has been filed and it should be fixed soon, if not already (I have not checked in a while).

Hands up if you have one good reason to port enterprise apps to ARM

Re: An ARM world would be nice, but...

>Now, demonstrate a toolset that makes it equally easy (as in just a compiler option) to build on ARM as x86 and you might get the software houses on board.

Ever heard of cross-compiling ? I compile Windows apps on Linux, man ;-).

The thing that is great for ARM is that you already have a complete ecosystem, complete software stacks, OS' etc available on ARM thanks to the freetards. Linux and BSD's run on ARM, what more do you want ? This means the whole Internet infrastructure can be moved to ARM.

Maybe ARM will mean Windows will die off quicker than expected, Intel saved MS' lunch by increasing performance at regular intervals, but I doubt they will get Windows Server to run on ARM ... even ONE gui-less windows server install takes up 32Gb, I can have 10 Linux/Freebsd servers instead ... I know disk space is cheap, but still 10 times more ... Plus, when I calculate CALS, Server licenses, Exchange/SQL Server/whatever license etc I can even get support for the 10 servers for the same price as the one windows server.

Even Avaya claims Linux has a lower TCO than Windows, they are not exactly Linux-friendly as they do not provide client software for Linux.

Syrian Electronic Army: We hijacked FACEBOOK ... honest, guv

Re: So they didn't actually hack Facebook

Which part of the word "hijacked" did you not understand ? I checked the article to make sure, nowhere does it say SEA hacked Facebook. Just that the hijacking was the first step in a hacking attempt ...

Now, those who cry about the usefulness to hack facebook ... I still have popcorn left and am enjoying every SEA article on el'reg - not that I support any of the factions fighting in Syria - it is just fun to read how window cleaners get what they deserve.

Jean Michel Jarre: Je voudrais un MUSIC TAX sur VOTRE MOBE

Hans 1
Mushroom

M. Jarre

M. Jarre, allez donc vous faire voir chez les Helenistes! Excuse my French.

I occasionally listen to music I illegally ripped from CD's I own, because I have not yet figured out where the CD drive is in my Blackberry z30 ... well I have, I can plug my portable CD drive into its usb port (USB Host anyone ?), but it is quite bulky and not very fashionable, to say the least, to carry the additional CD drive.

BTW, I have already paid certain albums twice/three times because I first owned the vinyl, then switched to CD, which got scratched, on to a 2nd CD until I figured in the early 2000's I could rip it all to HD in flac/AppleLossLess. My CD's all end up in the attic once I have ripped them.

Admittedly, I also have a dozen albums I bought online for only slightly less than the CD and a third of the quality - no thank you, I do not want to get ripped off like that no more. Gimme flac for the current mp3 price and I might consider it.

I already pay a tax for ALL my hard drives, although the music is only on three (backup, backup of backup, backup of backed-up backup) out of ten - plus i paid a tax on all the empty CD's/DVD's I used to buy back in the day ... I also assume I pay tax on the 10-15 USB sticks I have lying around my place - you know what, read Arkell v. Pressdram (1971).

This of course helps me beef up my payslip, thanks guyz, but in return I have to live with the fruit of your stupidity all the bloody time. $#@!

I'll take it even further, a well-designed web page has no JavaScript, use JSP/PHP - real men keep it server-side.

I honestly have to admit that I do not know what is causing GW and I do not really care that much, tbh. I am waiting on the scientists to finish their studies, analyses etc and come up with a globally accepted cause to GW. However, I think we need to address environmental awareness because we cannot go on the way we going on today, especially since we have a great number of Chinese and Indians joining the club of globetrotters, airco owners, and car drivers and our traditional energy supplies are finite (coal, gaz, oil, uranium).

Centralized energy production is silly, no ifs buts or maybes, plain silly, because we lose most of the gains during energy transport. You are gonna ask why do we have centralized energy production ? Because it is a very easy way for the big guyz to milk us lot.

What we need is humongous amounts of funds for research into solar energy as that is the way of the future. We are currently losing ~60% of energy in solar cells, a lot of it is heat - note that up until recently, that figure was closer to 90%, but some uni-guyz in Holland managed to improve the efficiency by ~40% (for the lucky ones with calculators, a rarity on el'reg: yes, I am generous when I am saying ~60%). We are talking a small underfunded public uni, here, not some multi-continent cooperation team burning through $ trillions working on fusion - the fusion scientists even admit that they have no idea if it is economically feasible to produce commercial electricity with the technology as they have yet find out how to build the box that will house a replica of the sun. They admit that even if it were feasible, fusion plants will not be around for another century at the very earliest.

Before I get any BS from the blokes on here, I have been to several public meetings, talking to the most eminent scientists who work over at ITER which is only a few miles away from where I live, sorry, you will have to keep your clueless gutters shut.

As for the commentards who are badmouthing Greenpeace, I am not, have never been a member/sponsor etc of Greenpeace, I think you are not very thankful, because they have been blowing whistles for quite some time on issues that affect us all - I do not agree with all they say, by several orders of magnitude even, but these guyz have managed to bring REAL problems to light. Like French nuke waste ending up on open-air storage facilities in Russia or the threat of GMO's. Although Greenpeace screws up regularly, they are useful. I know who funds them and all that shit of course, but still, occasionally they blow the right whistle and as such are needed; I just smile and ignore their, admittedly frequent, BS.

Bill Gates to pull a Steve Jobs and SAVE MICROSOFT – report

Hans 1

It would be greatly appreciated if those who think the Gates & Melinda foundation, that was supposed to receive $48bn 5 years ago and never did, has done very little in this world, would STFU. I intentionally omitted the word "good" in the last sentence as I have yet to read about anything even remotely "positive" the foundation has done.

I know it was heart-warming, having the richest man on the planet say he will give his foundation 98% of his wealth to heal/help/save/do good - this, however, was a PR stunt as reality has shown us. TBH, I am as sad as you are about this, because although I saw through it (PR stunt), I thought there was maybe some hope in Melinda's influence. This influence never materialized.

So again, would you please STFU, thanks!

I think what Oracle wants to do is squeeze ever more money out their customers who are currently paying for the server + OS + Oracle software. Oracle only gets the cash from the software and wants to change that ... that is also why they bought Sun. However, it is not working out as well as they expected, plus, IT guyz seem to think it is worthwhile to put all their data into a cloud, thus using competing stacks.

Oracle needs to address that, so they enter the cloud business.

Funny thing is Larry has stock in Salesforce as it is a company created by former Oracle employees ...

The other thing is that all this cloud hype is gonna burst like a bubble ... I have popcorn ready for when major data leaks occur. You have to know as well that NSA is there to help out USian companies where they can and love the idea of a cloud, all that data on competitors of USian companies at the tip of their fingers ...

And, the one citizen of Europe who loves the EU the most is of course the Queen ugly betty II, she gets more money from the EU than anybody else ... and, out of the top 50, my guess would be 45 are British lords (only slightly exaggerated).

And it's us in the middle who have to pay up for all that. If at least we could have a EU football team, the dream team!
