About digi_owl

So it seems HN has semi-blacklisted me.

Ever so often i get a "you are posting too fast" even though it has been working on a comment for 10+ minutes.

I guess i got one too many flags aimed my way regarding my opinions of Mozilla's recent management of Firefox.

Ok, this is dumb. They want me to make more substantial comments, but when i try i get "you are posting too fast" thrown in my face.

Real "clever", HN, real "clever".

Oh, hilarious. The limit is 5 comments within 2-3 hours.

"Clever" way of silencing "troublemakers" without giving the impression that they have been silenced...

    Samba is a "mess" because anything Microsoft is a mess to be compatible with if you are not MS. That said, sharing files across networks is a hell all its own. In particular if you…

    Netsurf can be compiled for framebuffer, and that variant can also be used in X (and imo is much easier to get compiling than the GTK UI).

    The process Google has set up is an outcome of DCMA, because Youtube can only operate as long as they can claim DCMA "safe harbor" status.

    Enough to register on sensors, not enough to trigger an immediate evacuation?

    Err, when it didn't get the outcome the brass wanted they reset the whole event and set strict rules on the red side.

    Also went in late in both wold wars, when the other side was basically exhausted. Never mind never having had to operate the industry under 24/7 bombardment.
