// for integer division instead of comments? Are these guys on crack?
brokenparser··on Dutch Court of Appeals overturns Pirate Bay IP blockade
Funny, the copyright maffia hates the Internet but then goes on to require it in order to consume content on blessed physical media.
brokenparser··on Eve Online wages largest war in its 10 year history
Sssh, that's all part of the plan.

brokenparser··on US and UK spy agencies scoop up private data from 'leaky' phone apps
Time to use tin cans again.
brokenparser··on Why not kill -9 a process?
By convention, SIGHUP is used by daemons to signal a change of configuration.
brokenparser··on Why not kill -9 a process?
No because only SIGQUIT, SIGABRT, SIGKILL, SIGTERM and often SIGHUP are supposed to do that. All of the other signals have wildly varying meanings. See man 7 signal: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?signal+7

And they're all way too slow for what I'm doing.

So, how does one poop?

I rather quack it :)
brokenparser··on JQuery 1.11 and 2.1 Released
Great, now I just need a third-party package manager that only runs on their own javascript environment. Whenever I write a web application in something other than javascript (happens), that's quite a build dependency right there. I'd rather not have Ruby gems and npm packages in a Python project, for example.
brokenparser··on Dogecoin and the Appeal of Small Numbers
...says the crazy communist. Certamen ad hominem in infinitum, ac vicit nemo (or some such). According to the dictionary ( http://thesaurus.com/browse/libertarian ) we could go on for a while, it's just utterly pointless. Rather than pointing fingers (babies can do that much), I'm merely asking a simple question why said libertarians would be crazy. FMR

crazy libertarians? How so?

brokenparser··on Today my startup failed
Are you referring to 4chan? If so, I think Twa^Hitter is far worthier of that title.
brokenparser··on Exposing Malicious Tor Exit Relays
Some of the attacks might actually be due to ISP misconfiguration or legal (court order) compliance. For instance, The Pirate Bay is blocked by several ISPs and exit nodes in their network would inadvertently be unable to route traffic to that site.
brokenparser··on What should we expect from a modern init system?
Daemons implementing their own logging in addition to syslog is a feature, not a bug. With journald, even more so.
brokenparser··on What should we expect from a modern init system?
Bull, we've had a syslog facility for ages.
brokenparser··on What should we expect from a modern init system?
I expect an init system to be an init system, not to also be pm-utils, (x)inetd, acpid, syslogd, watchdog, cron and atd. I also expect it to have configuration files I can change, not to have everything symlinked to /usr. (If I can even find the right configuration file in that mess of directories, that is.)
brokenparser··on LESS vs Sass? It’s time to switch to Sass
Grunt only takes 10 minutes to set up (5 minutes to add it to package.json and copy a working gruntfile, another 5 to realise grunt-cli should also be in the list of dev dependencies).
brokenparser··on Chrome Is The New C Runtime
XULRunner is almost 8 years old now, it was invented for the same purpose TFA uses Chromium but it's actually documented:

Not only that, but why with that many servers pages (playlist top, artist/album details, etc) are often very slow to load.

They're waiting for you Gordon, in the spam folderrrr.
brokenparser··on Mother
I don't usually jump to conclusions that quickly, it rather kept reminding me of the devolved people on the Axiom as depicted in Wall-E.

brokenparser··on CentOS Project joins forces with Red Hat
You don't need those virtual machines if you use pbuilder. All builds will run under the same kernel but if it's affected by that you're doing weird things. Also, your package shouldn't depend on any meta package as it's bad style (what if that package drops a dependency you relied on?). A good package lists only the bare minimum dependencies needed to get it to work (but under Debian may recommend and suggest other packages to go along with it).
brokenparser··on Dell Wasn't Joking About That 28-Inch Sub-$1000 4K Monitor; It's Only $699
Yes, but you're talking about TV's where it's fine if it has a 16:9 aspect because all of the content is in 16:9. If I buy a monitor, I want it to have a proper 16:10 aspect because it matches the ratio of the W*XGA displays it would replace/complement. More specifically, I don't want to be left out of those extra lines and would feel cheated by Dell in this regard if I either bought it or had to use one due to a budget stricken IT department. A TV is a TV and a monitor is a monitor. The thing they're selling is a TV without a tuner and remote control, marketed as a monitor.

It appears the link has changed (used to be http://www.centos.org/about/governance/ ), so all is well but I wonder how.
brokenparser··on Why we should give free money to everyone
Thanks, but it's completely US-centric and doesn't address the problem that such a system would drive down wages to a bare minimum.
