Mad Dog Goes Underground

Posted by Hemos on from the underground-tokyo dept.

Thanks to John Mark Walker for sending over a great spoof video performed by Jon "mad dog" Hall -and given the recent "myth debunking by Microsoft, the linux4u project seems timely. The project is intended to educate the corporate setting about the benefits of Linux. Grab the Mad Dog videos (high bandwidth) here and (low bandwith) here and see what I mean about mad dog going underground. RealPlayer is required.

    Wow - this has to be the least insightful piece I've ever seen on posted on /. It's nothing that hasn't been said 10,000,000 times here before. It's just wrapped up in an unfunny, high-bandwidth package. I love Linux, but this is just silly...

    There is a program I know that can download files using the pnm protocol. It requires Windows, though.
    (I'm sure that some Linux program for this exist, just too lazy to look for them now because I'm at work ;p)

    Get it at

    Download the .ram file and open it with a text editor to reveal the pnm location.

  3. Umm this is interesting? by JB · · Score: 3

    Was this video supposed to be funny? It was just some old guy with a beard telling us how Linux is stable and easy to administer. Duh. This is non-news.

    On the other hand, check out the latest Cringley column which talks about the bogus Israeli claim of the 12 ms 512 bit RSA crack. Also talks about how Jane's used /. input to re-write their article. And he says that that was a BAD idea. There's something to talk about.

  4. Why do they require us to register? by Ungrounded+Lightning · · Score: 3
    One thing that bugs me about the seminar: It requires you to register to watch it.

    Why is that? They don't seem to be asking for money - just names and email addresses. If I register, will I get spammed? Will I get billed later?

    Banner ads are bad enough - more spam is a nightmare.
