  1. Spam content dropoff? by dzym · · Score: 4, Interesting · on NZ Spammer Shutdown Makes Big Difference
    Not according to my graph it hasn't.

    Perhaps too much of a bit of wishful thinking there?

  2. Re:If you build it, they will come by dzym · · Score: 2 · on #debian & IRC Politics
    To put it into perspective, we're talking about administrating a 7000-user irc network, with a sizable pool of volunteer staffers. This irc network is run based on hardware and bandwidth that is donated by benefactors who donate it to assist with open source projects with no expectation of actual reward other than the sense of satisfaction of having done something nice for the community at large.

    This person that we're talking about, takes advantage of this generously donated hardware and his position on the network, and advertises a donation space for his own private needs (somegeek.org, at one point, mentions various monetary needs that this donation effort has gone to, which includes gas bills, cell phone bills, and of course there's that business-class DSL line.

    Aside from that, complaints that he is using his position on the network irresponsibly, quite possibly unethically, almost definitely illegally, are met with scorn and derision--those who bring the issue up are of the "vocal minority", those who try to reason are "trolls", and those who voice their opinions are silenced (this is the best one, if you don't read any of the other links, read this one at least).

    I've had my fill.

  3. Re:And as an art project... by sfraggle · · Score: 2 · on Making Games Live Longer With Mods

    Not really an art project, but I am part of the Freedoom Project which is working to create a full doom game. Combined with the GPLed Doom source, when done it will result in a complete free game. Part of the hope is that Doom will continue to live on in an open (as in Open Source) fashion.

  7. FreeDoom by sfraggle · · Score: 1 · on The Best Linux Games of 2001?

    This doesnt really count as "this year", but there is work going on towards a Free Doom-based game: there are of course many ports of the original doom source which run on Linux and will be able to run with this when it is completed.
