Dunno, I had ethereal and tcpdump installed at the moment so I don't think so

Reminds me of a previous job where IT wouldn't let me install netcat, because "it hadn't been updated since like forever", my response: "because it's fucking done", I was eventually permitted to install it

This seems intuitively true to me. Most of our conscious cognition works on and with memories, it's like a snapshot of what we think happened at any moment. It's that feeling when you "discover" your reaction to somethin

Interesting, didn't know that, thanks! :) In Danish we use the word "Ton" which is 1000 Kg, didn't realized that English has two words for it, didn't realize there's an emperial ton either :D

nah, when you're constrained enough, you rarely to never sacrifice anything in the name of future changes. You figure out what needs to be done, then you write a program that does it. If it needs to change, you write a new program. Par

"Oh, but the computer is doing the right more often than (9.4608e+16)-1 times out of 9.4608e+16 times!"* Yes.. but that's "less than" a single mistake per year, per computer. How many cores do your data go through p

As a professional software developer, I find this absolutely fucking terrifying.. Finding out THAT there is a malfunction can already be just about practically impossible.. Add to that proving that there is.. That's probably provably i

it's my understanding that python is more used as a user interface to the actual AI programs, which are mostly written in some GPU-friendly language, so Python is more for menial work that can be slow because it's just doing minor

Oh, I do remember that Konqueror had this really cool way with URLs, but I didn't realize the depth of it at the time!

Imagine if programs were more like plugins to the operating system, they'd register the stuff they could do, and the stuff they need to be done, and ultimately let the OS and user chose.. it could be that my text editor registers that

yes, by all means, add additional components, complexity and digital logic to detect the overheating of an underspecced component, that sound much more reasonable than using a connector that can carry the required current without heating up

Cooler and more "cyberpunk". I often imagine how cool it'd be to "operate the computer" if we were generally stuck with 80x25 columns, maybe a separate "bitmapped" CRT for viewing graphical content. I do e

I've had this happen back in on a modular 1100 watt psu on my 8800 Ultra.. The system was unstable at high graphics load, and it took me a long time to find the fault, the PCI-E power connector was high-resistance at the PSU end, the c

I absolutely agree- I want there to be places for things, a fairly rigid system so I can depend on things being in their place, not having to constantly "try to understand what's happening now"

I think GUI has evolved too far, what I want is devolution, not back to what came before, but back to other basics. We're in a terrible state, some odd and ugly place between native and online, where even native apps are picking the wo

The amount of law concerning that suggests that it's something we're well aware of and have handled correctly since forever.

Well, it's not that much of a problem for me, I just buy the "multi use" ones and use them a single time.. It's just silly, it makes me feel annoyed, because of this, I'm throwing away more plastic than I'd oth

The EU ban on single-use plastics is insane

It's probably not a problem, nice thing is that the existing kernel sources will stay available, so even if special systems need to run on 486, they can always build kernels. There's probably no intersection where 486 legacy syste

The best feature of discmaster is that it works on pure clean HTTP on actual webbrowsers on period correct machines. It makes it much easier to get software onto old machines.

This is a fine idea, but be _VERY_ upfront about it, if it comes as a surprise, even though it's entirely reasonable, a lot of people will be angry and put off because they feel they've "been had" if they weren't aw

Here in Denmark, people are divided on the subject of beverage temperature, some prefer it ice-cold, others don't. I'm firmly in the "don't care" group, unless I'm very thirsty, then I prefer less-cold (10-20 d

Soo... What's next when they've determined that you're conscious ? How is being trapped inside your head, potentially forever less of a nightmare scenario? I'll go the opposite "If you detect I'm conscious, kil

I never got into laptops, the portability is not important to me, and before it becomes comfortable, it's docked and has real big monitors and mouse/keyboard and a comfortable chair and good table.. At that point, it's just a

This is the same country where people can buy guns in stores and have to pay to go to university or the doctor, so it makes complete sense.

in a few generations, phones won't have keyboards anymore, "you don't need that, we'll show you what you need to see"
