You obviously don't run Linux...

/DUCKS and runs away fast...

Interesting site in your .sig, but I think that it would be better run on something like the bash.org codebase than Slashcode.

Or to put it in another way, how to install your linux wireless device:

0. Ask around your linux friends how you could install a wifi device, they tell you to search the web and read lots of man pages
1. Buy cheapest device you can find, don't spend ANY time looking at websites mentioning supported wifi chipsets for linux (*)
2. Complain on slashdot that it doesn't work on linux, and the wireless support must be crap.
3. Everyone in linux-guru land givea you step-by-step explanations on what to do.
4. Profit!!!!

(*) really, you would have found that the prism54 is one of the more expected ones to be supported, I did the same some time ago, BEFORE going to the store

<Pax> I wish my lawn was emo, so it would cut itself.

I'm doing my BComm concentrating in MIS, and I have to say that I am a little bit offended.

Faking Accounting: See Enron... and then see Sarbanes Oxley...
Faking Finance: You're knocking math? For shame...
Faking Strategy and General Management: Considering that these courses are the most academic and often produce a large amount of legitimate research (or do we not like research around here?)...
Faking MIS: MySQL and UML don't lie...
Faking Operations Management: Isn't this an engineering thing? How can we slander an Engineering Thing (tm)?
Faking Marketing: Yeah, I can see that... except there are hard metrics in place to prove these otherwise stupid theories (ie: brighter lights sell more groceries)
Faking Human Resource: Yeah, I can see that... just don't except a change management coordinator to coming running to your rescue when you're PM'ing a company-wide project

With my current course load (2 MIS Classes, 2 OPMA classes, and a managerial accounting class), I know there is no fakery going on. The hours spent producing coherant (BS free) reports, interviewing project managers for help with risk mitigation, and of course preparing budgets for projects so that I can afford to take all of my coders on a retreat at the end of the project do not waft of fakery. In fact, one of my MIS projects required heavy support from the IS&T department of one of the world's largest energy companies - so I hope you're not calling an entire IS&T department fakers...

And finally... a (silly) bash quote... http://www.bash.org/?7717

I would watch before you call a BComm'er a faker... you might just be working for one.

bash.org rules. you should be mod'd up. =P

for those of you not in the know... check it.

<_kr4m3r> so many fucking criminals, its bullshit
<foniks`> heh, if we sent all the criminals to some empty continent and just left them there to die

<foniks`> whatd u think they'd say?

This just needed to be said:

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Most trojans out there use IRC in some form. Most modify your mIRC scripts file (SCRIPT.INI?) to automatically DCC-send an installer to everyone who joins channels you're in. Some also connect directly to an IRC server to listen for remote-access commands. As an unfortunate casualty of this, many corporate networks block outgoing IRC connection requests. IRC doesn't have too many business uses, but sometimes an open source project uses IRC for "support."

Infecting P2P networks is the next logical step since IRC is going the way of Usenet (not dying so much as shrinking to a loyal core of users).

That has to be the most pretentious fucking website I have ever seen.

SMALL TEXT NO GRAPHICS LOTS OF RANDOM PARENTHETICAL STATEMENTS USAGE OF FAKE WORDS OMFG I'M SO COOL

"stop. unchain. (chain reaction)"

I only have one thing to say about this. The last line.

And it's so so original!

Obligatory bash.org quote:

[Ahem]

I have to type in some non cap letters here, otherwise the server won't let my quote pass. It is not my fault it's all in caps. That's the way it was written the first time!

So, without further ado, the quote, courtesy of that haven of IRC gems, bash.org:
YES IS NOT AN ANSWER TO "A OR B?"

In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penisses, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

NSA caught with cookies?

"So I went to the fuckin' shop for some fuckin' fags[1], an' I saw they 'ad the latest fuckin' [car|bike|console gaming] magazine, so I fuckin' 'ad that..." is a fairly typical example. These people seem to become completely lost, however, when something worthy of a decent curse happens. They've used up their vocabulary and are reduced to standing open-mouthed and helpless (or screaming, in the case of accidental self-injury).

Far better to save the (formerly) impressive curses for suitably momentous events, thus preserving your linguistic headroom.

[1]Cigarettes. With apologies to bash.org, it is illegal to traffic in homosexuals in the UK.

It's been done... alledgedly. Try this.

Robohunk: A friend of mine took an exam in his French class while on acid once. When friends asked him about it later, he said, "I think I did pretty well. I wrote this great story about a thunderstorm."
Robohunk:
Robohunk: The professor called him into his office soon afterwards and showed him the test. It was a piece of paper covered with the words "Noir noir noir, noir BLANC!!! noir noir noir noir noir, noir noir noir BLANC!!!" over and over.

The trouble isn't making an arbitrary number in the hopes that it's prime, it's in proving that it's prime. There are relatively simple methods to look for Mersenne primes, they just take constant time for crunch. For non-Mersenne primes, you'd have to crunch out every possible factor to prove that it's prime, a tedious process. The goal isn't to discover every prime number, there are far too many. We just want bigger prime numbers because it's a challenge. If you want to make arbitrary primes, you're free to, just know that it'll be a pain to prove it is prime.

Oh, and FYI, 1 000 000 ... 017 was debunked rather easily due to the fact that in base 10, if the sum of the digits is divisible by three (1+1+7=9, 9%3=0), then the number itself is divisible by three as well. It's covered at Wikipedia and the other repository of all geek knowledge, bash.org. Proving something's not prime can be surprisingly easy.

Third, as someone else said, you wanna bet tons of chicks are going to see the movie just to get a look at this guy's wang?

[Cthon98] hey, if you type in your pw, it will show as stars
[Cthon98] ********* see!

[Cthon98] *******
[Cthon98] thats what I see
[AzureDiamond] oh, really?
[Cthon98] Absolutely
[AzureDiamond] you can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2
[AzureDiamond] haha, does that look funny to you?
[Cthon98] lol, yes. See, when YOU type hunter2, it shows to us as *******
[AzureDiamond] thats neat, I didnt know IRC did that
[Cthon98] yep, no matter how many times you type hunter2, it will show to us as *******
[AzureDiamond] awesome!
[AzureDiamond] wait, how do you know my pw?
[Cthon98] er, I just copy pasted YOUR ******'s and it appears to YOU as hunter2 cause its your pw
[AzureDiamond] oh, ok.

Crap. You beat me to it :-)

Start off on the good foot. If you're a magic-user, the most important spell is Lvl. 3 Eroticism. Be sure to tell the GM that you would like to "put on your robe and wizard hat" before you learn it, aight?

If your party ever encounters a gazebo, be sure to ask the GM how many hit dice it has. Be careful - those things have powerful resists.

And on a more serious note, if you enjoyed either of those links, you're on the right track. Buy a basic set. Find a group of players who recognize a (Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Monty Python, Terry Pratchett, Snow Crash, or any other bit of canonical geek humor) and start playing. If they're not playing D&D, play whatever it is they're playing. All pen-and-paper RPGs are fundamentally the same - if you've got even the slightest inklings of an imagination and a sense of humor, it doesn't matter how introverted you are. You'll have more fun than you ever thought possible.

IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Porn in other words.

Hey, hey, hey. IRC can be used for pirating too.

I'm actually kidding. IRC is used ONLY to promote mature and academic discussions regarding many lofty educational and child-safe topics.

my uncle has a celeron
  would XP run on it, do you think?
  about as well as a dog runs with no legs or torso
  and with bricks tied to its head
  at the bottom of a solid concrete pool
  filled with dead corpses and rocks
  so, about the same as it runs on my P4 then
  more or less

Yup, even IRC geeks seem to know that PIMPIN' AINT EASY

maybe they should jump on the bandwagon and print safety labels on game boxes, like they put on coffee cups (hot coffe in your lap whilke driving = bad) and microwaves (don't dry your cat in them)!

A design flaw, but a sometimes humorous one too.

The worst one is when you're downloading some stuff with IE.

That's not the worst one! This is far worse (NSFW).

Makes me think of this quote.

Maybe we should all do this

People (even some /.ers) are somehow getting the idea that EULAs are contractual obligations. They're NOT. Once you've paid for an item, clicking "I Agree" doesn't do a single thing except let you continue using what you've paid for. This means you can do ANYTHING you want with the software/hardware provided it doesn't break existing laws (eg. copywrite).

If it weren't so, we'd have bigger issues at hand.

My friend sent me this bash.org quote link.

I would had copy and pasted in here, but /. didn't like the uppercase: "Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING." and I am lazy to lowercase them manually, and EULA is all CAPS. :(

Where have I heard that joke before? Oh, right...
