tetraverse | 10 years ago | on: How to Be Good: Derek Parfit's Moral Philosophy

I know, but I read something like that and thought it might amuse. Cause going on the number of down votes I attract there is a distinct lack of same on here. Anyways, it is getting tedious round here so I'm off. Someone please do delete this account.

A train has free will but still has to go where the tracks are laid down - that's my philosophy.

tetraverse | 10 years ago | on: Why are so many smart people such idiots about philosophy?

There's been centuries of philosophizing and what's that contributed to humanity - nothing. Science has provided clean water and protection against most pathogens. I'm with the science guy anyday.

Has this refugee crisis anything to do with the US decision to destabilize the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad regime?

"The CDDL cannot apply to the Linux kernel because zfs.ko is a self-contained file system module — the kernel itself is quite obviously not a derivative work of this new file system."

imho: The longer the same people stay with an organization, the more personality issues come to the surface. As you end up with a self appointed dictator and his/her sidekick, assorted followers, the opposing team and the rest regulated to the sidelines. Meanwhile it's sad watching a sinking ship.

So, what happens if you disconnect the electrical power input and connect the output back into the input. The device should continue to run for a measurably period until the 'cold-fusion' fuel is expended.

"The measurements of electrical power input were performed with a large bandwidth three-phase power analyzer. Data were collected during 32 days of running in March 2014. The reactor operating point was set to about 1260 oC in the first half of the run, and at about 1400 °C in the second half. The measured energy balance between input and output heat yielded a COP factor of about 3.2 and 3.6 for the 1260 oC and 1400 oC runs, respectively."

"EMET injects emet.dll or emet64.dll .. into every protected process, which installs Windows API hooks"

This is what the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit consists of - a DLL injection hack!

"One thing is certain: what happened in those difficult times was intercepted and transcribed by .. the National Security Agency (NSA), as this interception and other top-secret documents published today by WikiLeaks and our newspaper reveal. "

Well it ain't no secret anymore and I wonder at the timing, who at the NSA leaked the documents and what their motivation is.

'Microsoft's "mistakes" are part of what made it the unstoppable juggernaut'

Microsoft's first mistake was when IBM signed a non-exclusive contract to supply the Operating System for the first IBM Personal computer. should have read the small print :)

What did it cost to transfer Netflix to AWS and what are the running costs charged to Netflix. I recall reading somewhere that the first attempt was less than successful, and Amazon had to virtually rebuild the service from scratch.
