Except however you can snort heroin. Pretty much any semi dried powder can go up the old nose. You probably wouldn't want to snort plants, but hey, snuff was a pretty popular way to get a nicotine fix at one point in time.
I'm not into snorting, I just watch way too many documentaries while I'm on acid.
I work for a registrar and this issue is raised again and again. From what I've found, the weakness is from after we check the registration status through EPP. That traffic is encrypted. Whois doesn't appear to be affected, not from my trials anyway. Perhaps verisigns systems have been compromised.
Typically whois.internic.net is first called to decide which whois server you'll need to get the information from (for example, the whois server on google.com is whois.markmonitor.com)..net domains work the same, but most others work with a centralised whois server.
Whois likely isn't the problem, unless your traffic path is compromised, if that's the case, you have bigger problems than people registering your domains.
Web whois is annoying, but not clueless - it stops data mining.
I love the way if you mention you're not a troll you become insightful.
All technologies not involving Oil are going to explode or have a possibility of burning. Hell, even oil powered cars catch on fire for no reason sometimes. I'd much sooner get in a car with L-ion batteries than get in a Hydrogen car.
This opinion that we're somehow "better off" than the average computer user grates my cheese. I spend money on a Mac, Wireless Keyboard and a $160 Wireless Mouse from logitech, a huge monitor, a 2TB raid array and suddenly I have all this money??
No. There's no chance I'm going to spend any more after I'm done pimping my Mac. Sure, if you want to sell something that matches it, then fine. Otherwise, make something that runs on it.
IInet ripped me off. I asked to get connected, gave them my credit card believing that I would be connected. Was told a month later that Telstra had to replace the lines. Waited 6 months! Found out that I was charged for this time, and if I were more astute, probably would have checked my credit card bill before paying it. $600 for the time waiting for telstra to connect the line is in my book a pure scam. I get my own back now though. Working in the industry has cost IInet more than $60,000 in referrals. The Singaporeans get my praise currently, but they are treading on thin ice.
The salesmen at my work tend to worship anything they can sell. They worship everything I've come to hate. RedHat, Microsoft. Anything that they can sell really.

Fortunately for me. I always know where the File menu will be. Saves on fuckaround.
I call bullshit. Semi technical people in my office use linux. They were typing shit out because they couldn't figure out how to paste in the terminal.
My managers aren't scared enough. I have to constantly remind them that we can't just take source that someone else has written, change it so it suits our needs and then charge for it.
Obviously with no actual authority I'm saying this purely because they're acting immorally, but this is something managers should really keep in mind as they are the ones who'll take the full force of the shit storm if anything ever happens.
Uh, I dunno if you've used a Mac before, but I'm pretty sure that since OSX they've understood NTFS drives. Sure, no writing, but that's why you convert all your drives to HFS+. It reads Internal, External or Anal, whichever I chuck at it.
Also, my windows machine seems to be able to handle the mac drives. As long as I'm using MacDrive (the application, not the drive itself)

Hear hear!
I think we need another world war to push our technology ahead sufficiently. It helps a lot.

I wouldn't say enjoying... More ignoring...

I'm sure he's saying 1.3 billion per year. (1.44 actually)
Apparently the iTV can't have OSX applications running on it either ;)

Could this be a cheap way to get a nice small G5? Somehow I doubt that it'll run anything other than pirated games a some *nix.
3400KMs thanks, they're going the smart way and using metric on this one.
Now how am I supposed to make a crack pipe from a light bulb??
