I'm resisting pushing the caps lock key for this post. You sir are an idiot, have you even used BitchX? I didn't think so. Let me walk you thru the process of installing it. get ircii-pana-75p3.tar.gz. tar zxvf it. cd to the dir called "BitchX" that was created. run./configure with whatever options you want in it. let me summarize the post configure message:
When you are satisfied with your configuration settings, type "make" to compile BitchX. When compiling has finished, the binary will be located in the directory:/tmp/BitchX/source/.
*** IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: ***
We are trying to get statistics on the number of BitchX users. In the source directory is the file "cl.c". This file contains a function that will send a single UDP packet to BitchX.com. The ONLY information that packet contains is a user's BitchX version and OS. The function does NOT interfere with the client in any way, and does NOT receive any information back.
We are interested in this information for statistical purposes and to improve support for various operating systems. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS EFFORT. If you would like to disable this function, remove the line "#define WANT_NOTIFY_BITCHX_COM ON" from the following file: /tmp/BitchX/include/config.h.
Dont talk shit about things you know nothing about, or at least try to hide the fact that you are too lazy to do the research yourself.
On a remotely similar topic, i caught a article in the paper this morning where the rcmp (canadian cops) are testing a new ultra tough thin screen laptop thingy at 5 grand a pop, running, you guessed it, windows 98. im glad that our guilty until proven innocent photo radar tickets are paying for the cops to have thier criminal database crash in mid-arrest. proud to be a canuck. not.
forget the smoke detectors. imagine if people went to the hospital to get a regular imaging scan done, and OH THE HORROR ITS GOT THE WORD NUCLEAR IN IT AAAAAH! lets rename it an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) when its better known in the scientific community as nuclear magnetic resonance. the public at large is retarded and everything they come in contact with is dumbed down and euphemised, just look at mircosoft windows.
ive been searching thru the mess known as canada.gc.ca (gov web site) for the food and drug act portions pertaining to the drug caffeine, its a mess. my friend wanted to market fruit juice with caffeine added, in canada, and found that adding caffeine to anything not already containing it was unlawful, but i have found a bunch of links pertaining to caffeinated bottled water, im not sure if they are canadian or what. will keep looking.
heh in canada the mountain dew has no caffeine in it its illegal to add caffeine to a product that doesnt already contain it "naturally" so its coffee, jolt, etc. all them clear pops aint nuthin but sugar water.
"The only way to have people not pirate your stuff is if it's pretty dull stuff that no one cares about. I dare to bet that no one has pirated Mathmatica or Maple for linux to a warez site."
I have seen Maple and Mathematica for linux on warez listings, hell I even saw the iso for Redhat on one (haha). I bought my Maple V, it comes with both MicroSoft Windows version and Linux version on the CD.
Its funny, my stepdad (clueless) made the association that linux = redhat, and he is right. If you think you can run linux in any way shape or form that doesnt involve redhat or its method of doing things, you are mistaken. Try installing this tool on a non-rhat system./usr/src/redhat? wtf i thought it was rpm, some package manager. How about we rename it and maybe so many people wont have such a big beef about using REDHAT PACKAGE MANAGER, Linux Package Manager? I dunno just a suggestion.
"Whose responsibility is it now when that box is cracked using that exploit? As you state it, it would be Redhat's or suse's..."
you are joking right? well maybe not, since most people just rpm stuff in their box and dont read any README's or.c files, maybe this 'snippet will change your mind, and who knows, maybe you or someone else has seen it around before:

the distro, the daemons, and the gnutilities included with it are covered by this license, so its up to the user to realize the security and application of security patches/updates, and if you get screwed its your fault.
Oh and if you read the MicroSoft EULA, its not thier fault either if your licensed copy of thier Operating System gets hosed through accident or malicious activities, whether or not they come around with a security patch or not.
when you are running win98- IE is also running, whether you want it or not. it shits itself into memory when you boot up, thats why win98 with ie has a much larger memory footprint than win95 or win98 without ie, and is also why everyone claims that ie loads up faster than netscape, because it is already loaded up.
i found this rather funny too, thanks for the pick me up: "You can't uninstall IE on Windows '98. Its security holes are seamlessly integrated with the operating system. Did you miss the Microsoft trial, or what?"
"We need to set up some scripted servers to absolutely flood the net with automated trades of legal MP3s, and let them go bankrupt paying lawyers to go through all the traffic."
Its called www.mp3.com There is a digital ton of mp3s on there free for download of every class of music you can think of.
I love true life testimonials on MicroSoft operating system hell. I would like to see more testimonials in these forums, perhaps even starting one up solely for this purpose. Disappearing "user profiles", forced reboots followed by filesystem manglings, and install-IE-only-to-find-it-repartitioned-your-disk stories make me squeal with delight!
Why is it that NT puppets like to say stuff like you just did, I hear it all the time, usually in retort to seeing things like really high uptimes in linux.
"NT isn't my favorite OS by any means, but I've got two NT servers in my comms room that have NOT been rebooted in one year for any reasons other than to update the Service Pack"
its that little , but... that i hear all the time, gee i have years of uptime only rebooting for service packs. Sorry pal but thats downtime, which doesnt make years of uptime. I have a 2.2.6 kernel running on a ipmasq and shell server since the day it came out. No service packs. No rebooting. No Blue Screen of Death*

You know what would be cool? If MicroSoft bought out/into Wal-Mart like they did Rogers Cable and Radio Shack. Then we could have this huge MicroSoft-Mart that devours and shits out the competition, coming to a mall near you!
Funny you should mention MicroSoft using a NT kernel that is beta, a developmental kernel.

"Linux does not provide support for the broad range of hardware in use today; Windows NT 4.0 currently supports over 39,000 systems and devices on the Hardware Compatibility List. Linux does not support important ease-of-use technologies such as Plug and Play, USB, and Power Management"
See NT4.0 doesnt support USB or Power Management, and the newer production kernels do, sort of. But Windows 1900 (formerly known as NT5) is going to so its just as good right? Maybe in the next benchmark we can show that the reliability of NT is approximately 3% of Linux, or maybe the Linux guys can use the Reiserfs since its in release now too.
..Win98 or Win95 all running on identical machines. Which are Compaq Professional Workstations with dual Pentium Pro 200 cpu motherboard.
Ahem. Why the god damn hell are you running MS-DOS 95 and 98 on a dual processor machine? You must be related to the suit who threw away a dual P90 machine with NT on it when it was configured to run single processor at 120mhz, which i rescued from the trash and use as my linux gateway. No doubt its instability is what drove the genius to toss it.
Gates and that fat bald guy, isnt it Ballmer? driving around in a parody of a vw commercial, it goes da da da da, and they pick up a old chair with a old computer on it, then keep driving, only it smells, so they dump the computer (it looks slightly apple II'ish) and keep the chair.

It aired a few times and there is a avi of it around here somewhere too.
