  1. Re:I'm curious as to how they're selecting victims on Under The Surface Of The BSA Anti-Piracy Campaign · · Score: 1

    Here in Minneapolis, they have radio ads that warn employers that a disgruntled employee could call the BSA and report the use of unlicensed software.

    inline...yeah but...

    int main()

    char *temp=NULL;
    temp=someFunctionThatReturnsCharPointerByMalloc();
    free(temp);
    return 0;

    this is not inline. Isnt this how some standard C functions work??

    I'm looking for things like "did you malloc a buffer you don't need, and then forget to free it, or worse yet return it?".


    What is wrong with returning a pointer that you used malloc to allocate??
    as long as you remember to free it later.

  5. Repeat to your self: "it's just a movie" on Review: Pearl Harbor · · Score: 1

    I saw Pearl Harbor Sat. night. I knew it wasn't 100% accurate and I didn't expect it to be. I did enjoy the cgi and it made me appreciate the men and women who died so we can have freedom.

  7. Re:Time for lessons: (Was:P4 thermal problems) on Clawhammer to be 1/2 size of P4 · · Score: 2

    The idea is, if your fan breaks, your Pentium4 won't melt, it'll just run a little slower. Don't try that with your Athlon!

    my motherboard has temp sensors(as do most motherboards these days), that will give a warning beep and eventually shut down the pc.

    some motherboards/software even clock your fan RPMs so if it's 0, it will tell you.

    What you mumble here is clearly bull. Win2K is designed to be rocksolid, as was NT. There is no designflaw in NT that makes it unreliable.Mostly just hardware or driver failures are causing it to get unstable, the same with other OS-es.

    True, but a printer driver should not take down the entire OS.

  16. I feel great on At Long Last, Election Day · · Score: 1

    I feel great, I just got done voting. There was a bit of a line(inside) but it was good to see a lot of people voting. I also feel good for voting for "my guy". I know the system is not perfect, but this really is the best in the world. We all have freedoms that most countries dont have. If you dont vote, you give up the right that our founders fought and died for.

    Please go out and vote, I dont care for which party. Even write in "your mom" or whoever, if you dont like the list of canidates, but exercise your right.

  18. Re:With RoadRunner... on GNOME, Security, Linux, and Cable Modems? · · Score: 1

    Not in my area(MN)..I blocked all of their addresses.

    here is what I do
    first I allow the dns server access to "see" me
    $IPCHAINS -A input -s 24.26.163.32/32 -d $Any -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
    then I ban all other addresses from their subnet
    $IPCHAINS -A input -s 24.26.0.0/16 -d $Any -i eth0 -j DENY

    then I ban all input from eth0 that has 1.1.0.0 subnet on eth0..to stop spoofing
    $IPCHAINS -A input -s 1.1.0.0/16 -d $Any -i eth0 -j DENY -l

    then in my /etc/hosts.deny file I have...
    in.telnetd: ALL: twist /root/bin/ipban %a %u
    in.ftpd: ALL: twist /root/bin/ipban %a %u
    in.fingerd: ALL: twist /root/bin/ipban %a %u

    ipban is a script that does..
    /sbin/ipchains -A input -s $1/32 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -i eth0 -j DENY
    /sbin/ipchains -A input -p icmp -s $1/32 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -i eth0 -j DENY
    echo $2 has been Denied all packets

    so if anyone that is not in the /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts trys to connect on the telnet, ftp, or finger port they get ipchain denied

  19. Re:Yes it is on Checking Out Library Censorship · · Score: 2

    Here in Minneapolis, MN. One of the local news channels did a story about people coming to the Public Library and viewing porn. They caught 1 man on tape masterbating and aired it. He just stuck his hand down this pants right there in front of everyone. Now Im not for censorship but things like that have to stop. How can we provide the freedom of viewing anything on the internet, but yet stopping the perverts who abuse it?? Is every library in the country going to have to hire an internet baby sitter to make sure no one is abusing their internet connection? It's a pretty messed up problem with no clean solutions. Censor and piss people off, dont censor and piss people off.

  20. Re:Its not religion vs. science, its politics. on Slashback: Retroaction, Breakeven, Kansas · · Score: 1


    First off they didn't replace evolution with creationism, they gave school districts the right to choose to teach it or not and removed it from state testing standards. I believe they also pulled the terminology too. No, I don't think that's right, in fact I think its very wrong and there is a not-so hidden fundamentalist agenda here but lets not boil this down to the typical hackneyed science vs. religion rhetoric.


    And giving people choice is wrong?? A person should not have to have creationism shoved down his or throat, just like a person should not have to the (the theory of) evolution shoved down his or her throat.

    you said: "Do I get equal time on the pulpit at a xitian church to teach evolution?"

    A church is a private organization. A school is public. A private organzation sets its own rules without the interference of an outside force..ie..govt.

    A public organization has strict rules it must abide by.

    The theory of Evolution is not fact. That is why we say theory of evolution. It's a theory.
