  1. You might laugh... on Username/Password - Is It Still Secure? · · Score: 1

    But I think we should be using retinal scans or palm prints by now. It may cost a lot but for such personal and important info I'd be willing to pay the bucks. I think I'm gonna stick with physical banks and doctors for now, however.

  2. Well on Candidates for 1999 GNU Free Software Award · · Score: 1

    My vote would be for Miguel de Icaza. Bill Gates is definitly tempting though.
    Maybe Willie G will win because everyone votes for him as a joke. I think I'd laugh my tushie off if that ever happened :P

  3. Re:"this makes me sick"??? Bah on Microsoft Adresses World · · Score: 1

    I think the sickening fact may be the sheer amount of times the word "innovate" is used in a paragraph with no actual facts. They always yelp about innovation, yet, during their diarhettic binge of the mouth they never support it with hard evidence. These people need a basic essay writing course. If they actually belive thye innovate (which I doubt) then they are quite insane. M$ has slowed down the computer era by at least 10 years. In an earlier article it was said that Bill Gates truly believes what he is doing is good. Overthrowing companies in a dictator like fashion is not good in my book, and points to an at LEAST mildly insane human being.

    MUAHAHAHAH!!! It's at 92% to 8% now. Uhhh... Quake1, 2, 3? Myth 2? Unreal Tournament? Those will keep me busy for awhile, among many others. Then there's games in wine, then there's the fact that once game manufacturers notice a large Linux user group for their products more will be pumped up. Mark my words, by the year 2001 we will be complaining about how damn commercial this Linux thing is and most likly praising a whole other, new, OS. Hardware comparison? Actually, quite a bit. Know your shit before posting. For pretty much any Windows program there is also a Linux program (only acception to the rule that I know of is PowerPoint, which I suppose is good but I never have the need for).

  8. Well on iBook boots Linux · · Score: 1

    I guess the only question left is... "why?" I'm not bashing macs here, they're fine, but... doesn't this thing have no floppy drive? Why not just get a notebook / laptop that does? What is the advantage to using Linux on an iBook than, say, an IBM laptop / notebook? Maybe I'm missing the point here, and if so don't smash me in moderation points just tell me.

  11. Re:Movie portraying spirit of hacking on On Hollywood and the Portrayal of Computers · · Score: 1

    Pi is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Unfortunatly, you need a brain to even begin to grasp what it is about, so it wasn't that popular for the public. I omn it and have watched it at least 10 times and I still get something new out of it each time. It is a perfect exemple of why real (or near-real) computing isn't publically interesting.

    If you want to, you can come film me in my room. You'd get a fat, lazy, and irate C and Perl coder doing nothing but looking at a screen. Maybe the occasional sign of life to water my bonsai tree or get something to eat. Whee. "Hackers" is a good movie - - if you dan't think about haw fake it is. Same with all the other movies. It's just the kind of person (like this REALLY annoying girl in my school) looking at you and asking in awe, "are you a hacker?" It's pretty sad. I was feeling evil one day so I told her I was hacking a Web site by logging on to a random FTP server and typing ls. She believed me. Now I can never leave my house without her asking me about my latest haX0ring exploit. UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH...
    Ok, now for the POINT of this story: No, mavies won't ever accuratly portray hackers and crackers begaouse it just isn't interesting for the dumbed down masses. Just sit back and relax, for some they may be thrillers - - maybe we can just treat them as comedies? That way there is a REASON the most advanced computers in the world make the noise of a cholichy dot matrix printer (see Alien).

  13. You know what? on Slashdot Reader Analyzes BBC Interview With Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    I always KNEW Bill Gates was a little nutty, but not THAT nutty. Whether The Dodge was exaggerating or not, if Bill Gates has become this bto the world around him thes we may be in for a ride. A not good ride. This reminds me of Dr. Rappuccinni's Daughter where a doctor's wife left him he was so terrified that his daughter would do the same that he switched her blood with that of a poisonous plant, doing the same to the man she loved so he could never leave her. Whenever they touched a living creature it would die. How is this relevant? Bill Gates puts out the OS and is so blind to the fact that he is furthering the dumbing down process that is now so evident in public schools that he actually believes he is doing the world good, while the opposite is true. He may not be wanting to cause the damage, though he acts like a dictator, finding any competition and purging it from the land. From the way this sounds he may be so disillusioned that it borders on insanity. Did Lenny from Of Mice and Men mean to kill his pet mice and that girl? Of course not. But they were still killed. Maybe this DOJ Antitrust case will be the shot in the back of the head for Mr. Gates and his company, maybe he'll get away scott free. No matter what the outcome, we, the enlightened (if that is what you can call the people who stand against a dictator), have a duty to spread knowledge and undo the damage that Bill Gates has done. Hear the call, and answer.

  17. >:( on Major Star Wars Character To Die in Next Books · · Score: 1

    Look, Chewie was one of my favorite characters. I grew up on Star Wars. I loved Episode one. Why did I like it? Purely for nostolgic reasons. If it bore any other name it would be pure drivel. I don't know what kind of crack George Lucas is smoking, maybe one of his kids (probably the source of Jar Jar) gets nightmares from Chewie's roar. I don't know. All I do know is that George Lucas is a god damned sell out bastard. Lando should have died, even Luke, but nut Chewie. I can only hope Lucas comes up with some lame ass cheesy shit to reincarnate him, as we all know he is gonna do for Darth Maul, the only redeeming factor of Episode One that was shot to hell by his death. A cheesy death at that. Lay off the China White, Lucas.

  18. cool... on OpenBSD receives equipment donation worth $10,000 · · Score: 1

    This is a LITTLE off topic, but what would be a good BSD to start on? I tried installing Net and Free but for some reason my new (new, no other OS ever on it) HD won1t boot them... gives me a blinking cursor as if there's nothing there. Any help? I may take it to pcs for everyone (where I got it) and talk to them.. it IS a Seagate which is a part of Microsoft so maybe THAT has something to do with it, even though it was listed as UNIX-Friendly. Thanks.

"It's the new frontier," they say, "It's wide open, anything can happen." But you've got a lot of nerve to call yourself a pioneer when you're too god damned conservative to take REAL chances. Tin-eared graph-paper brained accountants instead of music fans. Call all the shots at giant record companies now, the lowest common denominator rules. Forget honesty honesty, forget creativity, the dumbest by the mostest that's the name of the game!
