Some country tried that from 1917 till 1992 or so...
It was called "communism" or something like that and it doesn't work...
(Nor does pure capitalism...)
We should come up with something in-between...
... something that has the best of both worlds. :-)

it does work (same as socialism) but only for as long as the person that started it is in charge. After that someone greedy will take over and the ideals will evaporate.
The Swiss system seem to work but that might be because of the somewhat low amount of people there. They have referenda on a lot of questions.

@Fabby The chinese system works too unless you are openly against the governement (...) Regionally people are chosen for office democratically and laws are made openly but the regime at the top enforce the long term. Rather harshly, But if you can follow the regime nothing is holding you back from a good life.
- what clearly does not work is the english system :P
- nor what we have in Holland, Election in march will have 65 parties ... and counting.

Quote from my textbook: "Now suppose you enter such a WiFi jungle with your phone, tablet, or laptop, seeking wireless Internet access and a blueberry muffin"
Yes, I do seek blueberry muffins whenever there is WiFi
And if that place has coffee that's even better
" The Bandwidth of each of the 13 WiFi channels is actually 5MHz. How many WiFi channels does an 802.11g/n signal really occupy? Which channels therefore are really available for use, without interference from other channels?"
ugh . . .13 channels ?

@Serg um...

I'm confused here, badwidth of bgn wifi signal is supposed to be in reality 2.4 MHz
 
Thomas Ward
Thomas Ward
List of WLAN channels
This list of WLAN channels is the set of legally allowed wireless local area network channels using IEEE 802.11 protocols, mostly sold under the trademark Wi-Fi. The 802.11 workgroup currently documents use in five distinct frequency ranges: 2.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5 GHz, and 5.9 GHz bands. Each range is divided into a multitude of channels. Countries apply their own regulations to the allowable channels, allowed users and maximum power levels within these frequency ranges. In some countries, such as the United States, licensed Amateur Radio operators may use some of the channels at much higher...
@Serg ^ useful pictures
^ the ranges
all within 2.4GHz, offset by MHz range items
 
Serg
Serg
right, and that's the same thing I'm saying , supposed to be like 2.4 Mhz for each channel. Why our prof says it's "actually 5Mhz" ?
 
Thomas Ward
Thomas Ward
@Serg because it is
you're confusing multiple terms
and concepts
the entire frequency spectrum for g/n is in the 2.4GHz range, with each central frequency of each channel offset by 5MHz from each other
2.412GHz is 1, 2.417GHz is 2, etc.
USA is weird
oops
so there's a central frequency for each channel, offset by 5MHz from each other, with individual overlapping frequency widths for each channel
you're not saying the same thing as your professor or the standard.

@reversiblean You're leaving something out. There's no reason that command would behave differently in a script.
@reversiblean I just tried with a simple curl -v google.com and there's no difference when running through a script or directly. Or, rather, the only difference is what you get when running that command twice a few seconds apart (so some different values in time etc fields).

On the other hand, while I'm not an expert, my gut feeling is that any solution that allows regenerating the same password is one hell of a security risk.

Byte Commander
Byte Commander
3:22 PM
So the only source of randomness comes from the input, i.e. the three answers the user has to give.
It's still much more secure to generate such a pseudo-random password based on three simple secret answers than to just use a simple password.
 
terdon
terdon
@heynnema You don't, I'm afraid.
@ByteCommander Absolutely. I just feel (I stress that I am in no way a security expert) that it is always a risk to allow a password to be reused and it is a very minor annoyance to just generate a new one.
For one thing, any program that prints out a password is a risk.

@terdon not just a screen grab, an actual separate camera video.

@Zacharee1 Yes, and? How can you know what made the text appear?

Even if you're videoing the keyboard, you can't know that Up hasn't been mapped to paste.

@MarkYisri Thanks for making the effort on this askubuntu.com/posts/859111/revisions :) but when you do a translation, you can ditch the old version as it will be available in the revision history so it's just noise in the post, and putting your name in it is adding more noise... I've edited it as I think it should be...
I voted "edit and reopen" but I think it should be closed as a dupe? ^
 
terdon

@Zanna Why reopen? That's still unclear. What "closed"? What happened? What was the output?

Oh, the Italian version said "it closed" not "it stuck". What stuck, then? And that's a pretty big difference.

@terdon I think they just want to install flash and they are doing it wrong? I guess I should have just gone to the link and edited it. instead of editing it from the queue.
 
terdon
terdon
@Zanna No, I mean that despite the edit, the question is still unclear. As is so often the case with people who post in other languages, the language is the least of the problems. I could understand the original well enough and it was still unclear.
If that were posted now, as is, I'd still vote to close it as unclear, myself.
 
Zanna
Zanna
@terdon OK... I think it is a bad question sure, but my thought was their intention is clear enough and it could be a dupe... we have sooo many questions about that
 
terdon
terdon
Well, if you find it clear enough, it's your call.
 
Zanna
Zanna
:S well you know better than me I'm sure... but afaik they are trying to install a non-existent package (in current Ubuntu versions anyway) and so it's not hard to understand why it is not working...
goes back to messing stuff up
 
terdon
terdon
@Zanna Clearly I don't. That package doesn't exist huh? Fair enough then.

:S I don't know if it answerable though. I don't disagree with you, just explaining what I did, idk if it was right and thanks for making me think harder about it

You know, one of the weirder things about being a mod is that when I express an opinion, people often think I'm laying down the law. It's very tricky for an opinionated bastard like myself.
PSA: If I am laying down the law from above, I'll make it clear. If not, assume I'm just being my opinionated self and my opinion is no more valid than anyone else's.
 
Zanna
Zanna
hehe I can understand that problem :) I totally get that you're giving your opinion and not laying down the law per se... but I respect your opinion and also I think folks get elected for reasons, so my first assumption will be that you know better than me what should be done with things.
 
terdon
terdon
They often get elected 'cause they've wasted more of their life amassing useless internet points than others. . . :P
 
Videonauth

^that and they do not share their points :D
sorry terdon im jus t in a funny mood today

edwinksl
edwinksl
you say useless points but you can ban someone and make that someone sad :)
imaginary internet points have real consequences!!11!
 
Zanna
Zanna
eh we all love those useless internet points but I think folks think about more than that when voting for mods (looking at the comments) and I think the community has done a good job in the elections so far
 
terdon
terdon
Aww, shucks.
 
edwinksl
edwinksl
when is the next election
 
terdon
terdon
When one is needed. There's no set election time.
Which is great since elections tend to be very disrupting.
U&L has only ever had 2 elections in 6 years or so.
 
edwinksl

5:30 PM
ah
what does "when one is needed" mean?
presumably whenever the current mods think they need more help?
 
terdon

Yeah, that's about it.

two people starred it, but do you think it should be actually pinned? You need a room owner to do it

@terdon well it could be demonstrated that it doesn't copy by pressing is a few times.
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
exactly why i said this question is going to be more hassle as being added value for the site, firstly i confirmed on a VM that 15.10 vanilla not behaves that way, so either he has messed up his system pretty badly, re-scripted the sudo, or hes simply trying to troll by saying this is what happens to him
 
terdon
terdon
@Zacharee1 Not if you map it to yank-pop :P Anyway, point is that expecting people to record a video to prove that they experience what they claim to experience is not a very practical solution. And how would you have a video clearly showing both what key they're pressing and what appears on the screen?
@Videonauth He probably entered the password once by mistake, so now it appears when pressing Up.
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
yes or that

@terdon you zoom out? You're nitpicking wayyyyy too much here

If you had to guess, how old would you say he is?
Just from his language?

6:01 PM
yeah well maybe he had a bad day or something and now what he tries as well wont work, but no need to bring personal mood into comments accusing others to not want to help etc
from his language, not sure my guess is late teen or early tween

I checked the site he linked in his profile, and he says he worked for the NHS for 12 years. He's an adult...

on the other side no age range is really known to not be like that
