Slashdot Mirror
A Strategic Comparison of Windows Vs. Unix
Ramsed writes "On LinuxWorld Paul Murphy wrote an article comparing Unix and Windows for a 500-student system and a 5,000-user manufacturing company. Summary: Most of the Windows versus Unix debate has been cast in terms of which is technically better or which is cheaper, but the real question is, 'Under what circumstances is it smarter to pick one technology rather than the other?'"
this blather added to escape lameness filtering.
slow down, cowboy!
Not less than 10 minutes ago I gave another guy head. It was the first time, and I have to say, it wasn't that bad.
Most of the cum hit the back of the throat, so I didn't taste it too much. The anal hurt big time though.

Errr, as the code is commented just above the part you pasted:
# logs attempts to break, fool, flood a particular form
That is, the people who are attempting to break, say, the comment posting form and post 500 comments at once are logged and may be banned by IP if they try hard enough.
Anyone can see, by reading Slashcode itself, not the misleading or irrelevant comments surrounding it, that the code in question does not apply to people who try to abuse the "multipost" bug (which doesn't even exist anymore; it has long since been fixed), but to people who have been moderated down with a certain frequency.
Let me spell it out for everyone since you have so little regard for the truth as to actually attempt to hide this fact:
Anyone who is moderated down four or more times within a 24-hour period will have their ENTIRE TCP/IP SUBNET banned for the following 72 hours.
That is a fact. It can be confirmed by reading the slashcode. It can further be confirmed by simply posting a comment which will be likely to garner a few negative moderations (i.e., any comment that disagrees with popluar slashdot opinions) and observing the results.
So michael, the obvious question here is, why are you lying to people? Why not just tell the thruth: The moderation system, combined with the IP-subnet-banning system, will automatically ban people for posting anything people disagree with.
Slashdot is clearly designed with the expressed purpose of surpressing unpopular opinions within its comment system.
That is, of course, your right, as this is your website and you may do with it as you choose. However, people should know that you are lying when you claim (in the FAQ and elsewhere) that people are never banned for their opinions, only for attempts at "flooding". That is complete fiction.
What to do? Well, here is a suggestion from an AC: What we need to do now is set up some sort of IP spoofing system so we can get huge popular subnets banned from commenting on Slashdot for 72 hour periods. There must be a dozen critical subnets that would really quieten things down here if they were regularly banned. I.e. a few important University campuses.
Get going on it, trolls. Have fun with it. Let's get some of these stuffed shirts banned for a few days and see them fume.
I'm not technically adept enough to accomplish this. Anyone want to have a go at it?
why dont you read the fucking comments, theres alot of them, and there is one or two posts from you, some fucking ivory tower EUNUCHS user with a 2 cm. penis and a hankering for goat sex
If it's so mission critical then why don't they choose a more mature platform that doesn't require as much patching?
You mean like this? darrellsilver@mail.com
Is that correct? I'm rather new at this so-called "address demunging". I've also taken the liberty of posting your e-mail address on a popular e-commerce mailing list. Apparently the people there are quite good at address demunging and are happy to help you test your address.
By the way, can you post your real postal address as well? I have some complimentary white powder I would like to send you.
So you finaly got that shoe out of your ass... we thought (hoped) it had killed you along with Signal11... well well... btw what the hell happened to your kHarma?.. I thought you were a gutter boy at -1?..
