The vast majority of americans don't give a damn what a bunch of poor, socialist losers like yourselves think of us. Go on and look at Chirac as the leader of the EU. We'll continue to laugh at you.
That I am dumb.
The Year of Our Lord 2003 has been a particularly bad year for the "B"s,
- Bob Hope
- Buddy Ebsen
- Buddy Hackett
- Barry White
- BSD
This honored list of dead is but a small token of adieu from the many fans of the deceased.These dead were truly some American Icons. They will be missed.
Beware of breasted Turkish homosexuals.
Go on and look at Chirac as the leader of the EU. We'll continue to laugh at you.
Go on and look at Bush as the leader of the US. I think the joke's on you...
Damn, why did I write so much instead of getting the first post here, at least !!
I JUST USED A CITY BUS AND I SAW THIS CHICK, 19 YEARS OLD, AND I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL AND I GOT THE COURAGE TO SAY HER 'HEY, YOU LOOK NICE. CAN I FUCK YOU?' AND YOU KNOW WHAT???

IT WAS THIS EASY TO GET SOME PUSSY OF A GOOD LOOKIN' BITCH!!! I'M 30 YEARS OLD FAT SYSADMIN BUT I JUST GOT SOME PUSSY OF SO FUCKING GOOD LOOKING BITCH!!!!
I am pretty sure that TCP/IP was developed by the millitary. They needed a better protocol. What you said is true though, BSD and Microsoft did develop the implementations that they use in thier OS's at the same time. I think both tcp and ip have been around since the 70's though (just in use at DoD and not majorly on arpa net, but I could be wrong). Am I correct, or am I making my self look terribly stupid here. PS. Dont Feed The Trolls! :)
Stop signs are only Suggestions
Not only that fagbitch, I'll surely grind your homo foreskin up as a stew and serve it to your starving crackwhore "mother" (ironic since your "mother" features both an airplane-hanger-sized vagina and a monstrous semen-dribbling cock). Given some nourishment, your "mother" will certainly perform random acts of whatever-the-fuck-i-want, including orally sodomizing her/his pedophile "son" "Sir Haxalot". Really, aren't you dead yet?
I for one, would like security on my Tablet
I'd like security *for* my tablets. My goddamned roommates keep stealing them when I'm asleep.
Fuck Israel, fuck Islam. Let's toss all the zionists and islamic fundies in one big pit and let them slaughter each other.
As a non-native English speaker, I'd like to ask you why is it "the biggest threat to world peace" and not "the biggest threat to the world peace"?
Thanks in advance.
The *BSD Wailing Song
What's left for me to see
In my ship I sailed so far
What can the answer be
Don't know what the questions are.
And after all I've done
Still I cannot feel the sun
Tell me save me
In the end our lost souls must repent.
I must know it is for certain
Can it be the final curtain
As long as the wind will blow
I'll be searching high and low.
Who knows what's really true
They say the end is so near
Why are we all so cruel
We just fill ourselves with fear.
And heaven and hell will turn
All that we love shall burn
Hear me trust me
In the end our lost sould must repent.
I must know it is for certain
Can it be the final curtain
As long as the wind will blow
I'll be searching high and low
Final curtain
Final curtain
I received the email first thing in the morning from the IT department. Our network would be undergoing a major overhaul to correct the ad hoc growth it had experienced in the last year, and starting next week Internet access would be sporadic. There would also be a new firewall and security measures, replacing the old OpenBSD system I'd managed to get installed last Spring. Happy for the heads-up, I went to work right away to make sure Linux had no place on our network.
Since the Open Source Mullet had been canned, a new threat had arisen at my workplace: the Fat Perl Hacker had assumed most of the Open Source Mullet's system and network administration duties, and it was no mystery to anyone at my workplace that he had a hard-on for Linux tucked away under his enormous, cascading gut. Since he was a major suck-up and workaholic, he had a lot more credibility than the Open Source Mullet-- this would be a real challenge for once.
That night, I went to work on my strategy. First, I would document the changes in Linux and OpenBSD since a year ago when we last went with a security plan. Linux was still at version 2.4, while OpenBSD had raced from version 2.8 to 3.1-- a major revision! This was good so far, and I included the relevant diffs for each. I wondered what the Fat Perl Hacker was up to and pushed ahead with my preparations.
Tuesday morning, I went to talk with the VP of Operations, who had final say on the network project. I wouldn't leave anything to chance. But after chatting with him for a few minutes, I learned of a major monkey-wrench I hadn't expected: instead of a Unix firewall system, he was planning on installing a dedicated firewall box-- running Windows XP Server. Thankful for my fortuitous social engineering, I went back to my desk and began making over my strategy to deal with this new threat. Not only would I have to deal with Linux, I'd have to eschew the Windows option now.
Sitting in front of my iBook after work, I realized that taking on Windows XP in the same manner I was going to deal with Linux would be foolish if not wasteful. Obviously the Windows option was not about numbers, anecdotes, or experience. It was a bean-counting decision and all of the security statistics in the world wouldn't matter. Since I hadn't the foggiest about how our accountants viewed the whole operation and didn't have time to learn, I'd have implement a rapid-fire real-life assault on the Windows box, which was sitting on the VP's desk awaiting its place on the network. It was time to put on my Black Hat, and that night I stayed up until 02:00 researching Windows XP vulnerabilities. Linux would have to wait.
With just two days before the network changeover was to take place, I marched into work Wednesday morning knowing that what I did in the next few hours would decide the fate of our network security. To my surprise, just moments after I had sat down, the Fat Perl Hacker asked me to join him for a cigarette outside-- away from the ears and eyes of the office. 15 minutes later, I was fully aware of the precarious situation I was in.
Joining forces with the Fat Perl Hacker was something I had thought about but hadn't wanted to consider. It was a double-edged sword, and I wasn't about to kid myself. Although I am damn good, he had another full decade of experience over me and that included office politics. If we aided each other I ran the risk of pushing for Linux, even if inadvertently. And I certainly wasn't about to reveal my anti-Linux research to him. After doing some quick scheming, I agreed to help the Fat Perl Hacker dissuade the VP from using Windows XP-- but I had my own twist to what would follow after. Knowing my shortcomings, I decided to do the only thing that would give me an edge. And that was doing something that I knew better than anyone else at my office: playing dirty.
After a power-lunch of strategizing, the Fat Perl Hacker and I went to work on cracking the Windows XP box into oblivion. We then called back
