SCO DOS'ed
Thomas Cort writes "BusinessWeek has an article about a DDoS attack against SCO.
"At 10:45 a.m., the Unix and Linux seller was hit by a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) that hampered its Internet operations, said SCO spokesman Blake Stowell ... the Utah-based company has incurred the wrath of many Linux enthusiasts infuriated with its lawsuit against IBM ... SCO's Internet service provider, ViaWest, told SCO that about 100 high-speed T1 data-transmission lines of network capacity--about 90 percent of its total bandwidth--was being consumed in the attack.""
You failed it!

How to solve the OOP problem. (Score:1) by Anonymous Coward on 0:46 Wednesday 16 April 2003 (#5740274) Don't use it. Seriously, have you ever tried writing OOP? Tried using C++ or Java? Two shitty languages, both OO - coincidence? I didn't fucking think so. OO is just something for object oriented fanboys like Stroustrup to fap about when they run out of anime tentacle rape divx videos. Object orientation - what the fuck? Even the name of the paradigm is fucked up. Why orientation? What's the damn point? Just call it TOP - "The Object Paradigm" or some other 'amusing' acronym and be done with it. Why use C++ when at least C is vaguely intuitive and doesn't require a doctorate for you to be able to use it with any degree of safety? Seriously, you could get an eleven year old writing POSIX tools safely in C. When you consider how many people fuck up writing C when it's so damn easy, imagine what it's like when they try using C++ to beef up their salary, or, worse still, try learning it as a FIRST FUCKING LANGUAGE. They have no bloody chance. If you thought using gets(), using global variables, using void main(), not checking the return value of malloc(), not using free(), using casting too much to cover up shitty code - if you thought these were bad, just fucking think again. You use C++, the odds are stacked against you from the start. It's more inconsistent than the C shell and more bloated than glibc. The ANSI C++ specification is over 750 pages long and that stands to grow decade by decade. What are you going to do in 2040 when you find that the little project some idiot fresh out of university started at AT&T or Berkeley has grown and taken over entire operating systems and you have to maintain it, and it's STILL spaghettified because the little turd was following a structured programming mindset? You're fucked, that's what! By that time there'll be about 40 different specifications for it from three different sources, ranging in size from 30 pages to the size of "The Complete Works of James motherfucking Joyce". You want to spend 30 years of your life trawling through reams of dated specs and your shitty incomplete compiler's man pages to find those three little commandline options which will make everything work? And don't tell me that there will be a compiler which can properly implement the C++ standard, because THERE ISN'T a fucking internally consistent C++ standard which makes a scrap of sense. Just look at g++. That thing is a steaming pile of poo, crap and excrement. It brings tears to my eyes just looking at Richard Stallman bashing his head against his keyboard in frustration because the guys who came up with the ANSI spec and the guys who came up with the Single Unix spec can't agree that 'new' should do what it does, or that we can use // comments, or some
other stupid shite like that just to keep shitty C or COBOL programmers in
work for another 20 years. The future of OOP is the crapper. BSD isn't
moribund, because it's written in C. However, Sun is so fucking dead,
because they are the home of Java. Thusly, they're fucked. And the
creators of X and Simula will be repeatedly buttbuggered with shards of
glass and welding torches for being so incredibly short sighted as to even
consider the idea of simulating objects and their properties on a
computer. Really! What the FUCK?! Why are we pretending that we can
comprehend how to use some wheelbarrow of faeces which tries to pretend it
can grok the real world and its complex interrelationships; you want to do
that, go the fuck outside for a change! Look through a telescope, skim an
encyclopaedia, listen to a poem - don't write shitty languages and shitty
code just to try and prove your point. C++ weenies are the equivalent of
macho sexist rednecks. C coders are the kind of people who will walk over
water in order to heal an injured swan. OOP isn't big, it isn't funny, and
it isn't clever. It's incredibly gay and when you use OOP, people get
hurt, Jesus cries, and God kills a kitten. Just look at Microsoft - they
wrote all of their OSes
NOT. If you piss off alot of technically knowledgeable people you're gonna get screwed.
Yeah, just look at Saddam Hussein....
Like what I said? You might like my music
A MAFIA TURNCOAT told a stunned courtroom yesterday how he gunned down his mob boss - because he was gay. Former DeCavalcante soldier Anthony Capo said the New Jersey-based family - often described as the real-life "Sopranos" - feared they would be the laughing stock of the New York underworld if their acting boss, John "Johnny Boy" D'Amato was outted.
"Nobody's gonna respect us if we have a gay homosexual boss sitting down discussing La Cosa Nostra business," Capo told jurors in Manhattan federal court.
Capo was testifying at the racketeering, murder and conspiracy trial of Stefano "Steve" Vitabile, the DeCavalcantes' reputed counselor for more than 30 years, and alleged capos Philip Abramo and Pini Schifilliti.
Capo, the mobster-turned-government informant, said he felt like killing D'Amato when the boss's girlfriend, known as Kelly, confessed to him about his secret life.
"She told me John D'Amato and her were going to sex clubs in the city, swapping partners and John was engaging in homosexual activity," he said.
"It shocked me . . . he couldn't be acting that way - he was a leader of men."
He said the family's leaders, including consigliere Vitabile and then-capo Vincent "Vinny Ocean" Palermo, approved the killing, but knew the hit would be a "very delicate matter."
"The rule in La Cosa Nostra is not to take down a boss without the permission of the commission [of all New York crime families]," said Capo, under questioning from federal prosecutor John Hillebrecht.
"We knew we'd have to sneak him - kill him without permission."
Capo made his move early in 1992 against D'Amato - who had helped him become a made man only two years earlier - when the acting boss returned to New York from Florida, where he'd been on the lam.
He told the jury how he and another mobster, Victor DiChiara, arranged to pick up D'Amato up from Kelly's home in the Mill Basin section of Brooklyn.
"John D'Amato got in the car and sat in the back," Capo said. "He said, 'Let's go eat,' and as we drove away, I turned and shot John D'Amato.
"He said, 'Oh, s- -t,'" Capo recalled proudly, saying he shot the boss twice and then twice more when he kept moving.
Capo said they found $5,000 in one of D'Amato's pockets.
He said the money was given to DiChiara because his car "would have to be destroyed because of all the blood in the back."
funny hahahaha funny. Did you think of that all by yourself or did your mommy help you?

We GAVE peace a chance. Boycott the ANTI-war machine.
Putting aside all ethical or moral stance on the war, I still can't believe some people believe this line. The plan always was to go to war, with or without WMD (and there were none). And you know it, but your fanatical love of your country is blinding you from what is clearly visible to reasonable people. This war was played on the religious and nationalistic pride of the ignorant US people. Only a country of childre would put out something as cynical as a deck of card. Having the US rule the world is like being stuck on the island in Lord of the flies.
Rather than living in a world ruled by the US you mean?
You know, I'd rather live in a world which is ruled by all democratic nations, or at least no nation in particular.
But with a Bush in the Whitehouse, and apologists such as yourself, that's aparently much too much to hope for.
