Turning Your Mac Into a Serial Console Server

chrisbw writes "Want to put that old VT100 terminal to use? Mac OS X Hits has a story on how to make a couple simple changes in OS X to enable login on a serial terminal (even over a USB serial adapter if you're on a newer mac). Cool trick for adding a text-based web surfing or email terminal in another room, or remote iTunes control!"

  3. The Straight Truth About the GNAA by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    The GNAA is a small loose knit group of trolls whose sole purpose is to post retarded shit to various websites. Membership of the group is really irrelevant, but they do have guidelines, which are really just part of their elaborate "troll". Basically, you gotta be a nigger, gay, or both, blah blah. Post an fp for the group and your ub3r l33t, bs ,bs . ...

    The cold hard facts about the GNAA
    There's nothing gay or black about the GNAA. In fact, the GNAA doesnt have a single gay or black member at all, and most likely never will.

    (Nws4Turds) actually, i'm a straight honkey

    And at this point, Nws4Turds ebraces his heterosexuality, coming out of a "reverse closet" for a brief moment, exposing his inner self. He then feels the need to expound on this idea.
    (Nws4Turds) i had sex this morning
    (Nws4Turds) it felt good
    (Nws4Turds) she came twice

    After these statements i was threatened!

    (pocide) not only will YFI but you'd be testin my gangsta and you don't wanna do that, oh no

    Following our conversation, my ids picked up a portscan from 24.174.81.26, the address from a user in the channel known as "penisbird".

    (koft) Damn, i didnt realize that apache and sendmail were part of IIS and exchange... You guys are leeter that i immagined...

    Truth: GNAA is a group of wanna be script kiddies who troll on lame message boards like 'Slashdot'
    Truth: The GNAA leader 'PenisBird' has a prefrence for porn depicting under age individuals
    Truth: All GNAA members are white
    Truth: None of the GNAA members are gay
    Truth: All GNAA members live with their mothers

  4. Dear Apple: by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Dear Apple:

    I bought an Apple computer because of its native support for teledildonics. I bought a USB FUFME and MacOS immediately recognized it and installed drivers instantly! As a gay Catholic priest who often can't be at the altar all the time, you can understand how the ability to have sex with children whilst on the airplane with my Powerbook and wireless internet service is a lifesaver.

    I just have a single question, will Apple be releasing a firewire version of the FUFME anytime soon?


    With much gayness,

    Father Michael "Arminass" Sims

    Dear Father Sims

    Thank you for your kind letter! Being a former Catholic priest myself, I know exactly what you are talking about! It has been our dream at Apple Computers ever since we began in the 80's to shape the homosexual experience with the ultimate computer.

    I can answer your letter by saying that YES we will indeed be making a firewire version of the FUFME. With the additional bandwidth offered by the firewire bus, we will be able to more accurately record and deliver more minute and subtle movements that the USB FUFME simply couldnt support due to lack of bandwidth. You will be able to recognize our firewire FUFME in stores by the fancy holographic logo of a cock entering an Apple.

    We are glad to help loyal customers such as yourself. If you ever have any more questions, feel free to drop a line (or connect to my teledildonic FUFME server on fufme://cockman.apple.com).
