    LPBN caught all the SCALE talks on video and has them available online. Everything from the case for Linux in the University, to the latest 2.5 updates from Robert Love and Patrick Mochel.

    So we beat the fscking shit out of thier servers and rack up their bandwidth bills... how nice.

  2. Linux in Universities by locarecords.com · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I think the is an inescable argument for LINUX to be used in Universities. At my Uni we are looked into Microsoft campus agreements that are *impossible* to get out of without an exceedingly shocking leave clause. Now whoever signed that shouldn't have but now getting out is harder and people get used to their software and then Microsoft becomes a very expensive *need*

    On the contrary if they had moved in an Open Source direction at least they would be spared this restrictive contract and they could have bought Office for those that were really keen rather than EVERYONE even *if they don't use M$ products!!!

    Is it true that people pay /. money not to be mentioned here?

    This is AWESOME news! Now I don't have to rent a DVD, check HBO 1-6, go to the opera, or interact with other human beings in any way! This makes my Friday night! YESSSSS!!! I only wish I could decide which one to watch first! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Damn we're good.

    In the beginning we could take down servers with a mere few clicks.

    But that wasn't good enough. We didn't want to just crash the servers, we wanted to truly stop anyone from viewing the data so next we attacked the cache.

    Now we:

    • 1. Link to the site.
    • 2. Nuke the site.
    • 3. Nuke the google cache.
    • 4. ???
    • 5. Profit
