  1. Re:FreeBSD 9.1 on Malware Attack Infected 25,000 Linux/UNIX Servers · · Score: 4, Informative

    OpenSSH 6+ will print "unknown option" instead of "illegal option", hence the "grep -e illegal -e unknown" ;)

  2. Re:From the Article on Malware Attack Infected 25,000 Linux/UNIX Servers · · Score: 5, Informative

    What other fucking form of authentication is there? Certs? Those are just strings - like a password. Encrypted certs? What are you encrypting them with?

    It all comes down to a secret someone has too know. Call it a key, a cert, a token, whatever, it's a fucking password at the end of the day.

    If your auth'ing with a username / password on an infected server you're actually *sending* your credentials to the server. This is not he case wih a cert auth, especially when you use ssh-agent to hop to other servers.

    Did you RTFA? This is not an apache module.

  4. Re:IBM Trackpoint on Best Mouse For Programming? · · Score: 1

    I configure my window manager to focus a window whent the cursor point on it, so i can change the window in which i want to type very fast. All that with a tiling window manager! DWM - tiling window manager http://dwm.suckless.org/

  5. IBM Trackpoint on Best Mouse For Programming? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I use a keyboard with an IBM trackpoint so i don't keep moving my right hand between keyboard and mouse. It takes a little to get used to it, but it worth the try! http://www.pc.ibm.com/ww/healthycomputing/trkpnt.html

  6. A keyboard without 'windows logo' ? on Review of the Model M-Inspired Unicomp Customizer Keyboard · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't understand why keyboard manufacturer still put the Windows logo on the meta key (unless Microsoft give them money).

    Can you point me out websites where i can buy a keyboard without 'Windows logo' ?

    Anyway, only recently I found a use to this key (using it as meta with Awesome window manager. This don't interfere with 'alt' key in irssi !)

    P.s. English isn't my first language !

  7. Re:Don't miss.... on Hewlett-Packard Brings Linux To Select Desktops · · Score: 1

    Sorry I was a bit agressive ! I did a lot of interpretation (American centric) of your comment. I'm from Canada and sorry for my english. HP selling RHEL in Australian is almost as innaccessible as Dell selling Ubuntu in the USA for me.

  8. Re:Don't miss.... on Hewlett-Packard Brings Linux To Select Desktops · · Score: 1

    I suppose you did not say the same thing when Dell was offering Linux systems only in the US. So what's your point ?

  9. Re:I hate to be negative, but on Scientist Calls Mars a Terraforming Target · · Score: 1

    Maybe we could live on Mars in domes or sealed caves but I doubt we'll ever be walking about in the open on its surface. I think we will live in domes on Earth before on Mars.
  10. Re:So... on Dell Refuses to Sell Ubuntu to Business · · Score: 1

    Dell isn't coding Windows, like Apple codes Mac OS.

  11. Buying with Ubuntu then install a Windows copy ? on Dell PCs with Ubuntu Are A Little Less Expensive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What if people start buying with Ubuntu to save [50-150]$ then download a copy of Windows using bittorrent and install it ?

    Can you really decide not to send the signal ? :o
