People wanting a secure Linux server will *NOT* use a distribution of Linux based off of Debian Sid (unstable branch).
If you want a secure server, use Debian Etch (current stable version), configure SELinux, recompile the kernel with anti-stack-smashing and other patches (e.g. exec-shield), and set up some decent netfilter (iptables) rules, etc.
I had tried to send my friend a link to a website like site.com/staff.php, and gaim said "blah blah received an error from the MSN switchboard".
Another thing to note: you used to be able to crash people out of chats by typing "[.pif]" (without quotes). It would cause everyone to exit the conversation with a "connection error". Now, it just kicks you out.
Show me someone who NEVER breaks ANY laws during their normal, day-to-day activities over the course of a year and I'll show you a bridge that I have for sale...
How does that quote go? "If there aren't enough criminals, there aren't enough laws", or something like that?
'MercExchange has utilized its patents as a sword to extract money rather than as a shield to protect its right to exclude or its market share, reputation, good will, or name recognition, as MercExchange appears to possess none of these,' he wrote.
Debian offers 3 versions: a stable release (currently 'Etch'), a testing release (currently 'Lenny'), and an extremely bleeding edge release (which is always called 'Sid')
Ubuntu is basically Debian Sid, but rebranded with Ubuntu artwork. Essentially, you're running Debian Sid if you use Ubuntu. (Interesting fact: Shuttleworth used to be a Debian developer/maintainer)
Personally, I use the stable version of Debian on servers and other places where security/stability is paramount. But I use the testing version on desktops, where sacrificing very, VERY good security/stability for more up to date programs is more acceptable for me. I really dislike running the unstable release, as it's usually just that.
I read the first "sentence" (i.e. a collection of sentences strewn together with commas) and saw the "it's" at the end. At that point, I closed the tab the article was loaded in.
Please, for the love of $DEITY, don't let people who can't speak English write articles.
I feel like pointing out that the equivalent of/etc/hosts on Win32 systems is C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, should some non-Unix users need to override this censorship.

You DO realize what website you're on, right?
Seriously.

Why not just turn your children over to the government when they're born?
Parents today obviously have ZERO interest in spending time with their children and monitoring their activities and habits.
This is ridiculous.
He sounds like an author of fiction to me...
If I see IPv6 implemented worldwide in my lifetime, I'll be really surprised.
Nope.

What did you end up settling on?
Also, nice sig. Isn't that a Schneier quote? I could've sworn I've seen it before... and it's been a while since I read Applied Crytography.
Yeah, I liked how he went from a 'hacker' to just another tool who was butthurt about Anonymous getting his real life information.
I realize that you were being humorous, but it's worth mentioning regardless.

i.e. = 'that is'
e.g. = 'for example'
You are incorrect on both counts.
Class dismissed.

For being a voluntary rating system. It's grown out of control.

I, for one, do *NOT* welcome our new ESRB overlords.
Or, rather, you only hear about the stupid ones.
The smart ones do not get caught.

'sudo -i' to become root (until you Control + D or 'exit'/'logout')
