    This has been out for nearly a week. Glad I downloaded it before the crowds started forming.

    Knoppix is awesome BTW.

    with a large selection of fake Windows login screens, so I can reboot a public computer with this disc and collect a few login/password pairs?

    I think one can assume english is spoken if you're reading an english web site.

      This translates to "Help! Where am I?!" for those whose grasp of the Finnish language is less than perfect.

    "Knoppix 3.2 Available"

    I don't know what you mean by "available" - I certainly can't find any mirrors that will respond

    "These distributed, multisource p2p apps are perfect for stuff like this."

    Wanna bet 99% of the users don't bother with checksums? The words "massively parallel" and "r00t3d" aren't ones I'd like to see together in a sentence, thank you very much :-)

  6. number gone? Good! by timothy · · Score: 2, Funny

    It was from some spammer advertising a cable descrambling device. I talked to the guy who answered the phone (I love calling 800 numbers attached to spam), and he was ruder than he should have been. Of course, by sending spam he'd already been ruder than he should have been, but I digress ...

    So, if that sig is outdated, good -- I hope the whole operation dried up and shriveled away.
