  1. Milking the franchise.. on Indiana Jones To Arrive Again in 2005 · · Score: 0, Troll


    Harrison Ford is a good actor, but come on.. he'll be sitting in his wheelchair with a blanket over his legs muttering to friends long dead while his diapers fill with turd.

    Is it any wonder entertainment companies are losing cash? Don't blame piracy, blame the fact that they can hardly come up with a new idea among the lot of them.

  2. Re:We will publish no brief before its time. on FSF Statement on SCO vs. IBM · · Score: 1


    Spend your next vacation on exotic LB426

    psst, if you're referring to the planet in Alien (when it was unnamed) and Aliens I believe it's called LV426. Otherwise still a funny sig. :)

    You just ignored the license you pasted by not providing the full "[v]erbatim" copy of his "entire article". Prepare to have your doors kicked in by granola crunching FSF lawyers.

    The only regex you need to know is "*" when using "rm -rf", dagnabbit!

    But DuPont's Nafion membranes are very delicate, which makes the roadworthiness of fuel cells an issue."

    Delicate now. Future membranes may not be so fragile. It's still a step forward.

    Algae prevention is a drawback? Remind me to never eat from the submitter's refridgerator.

    Yay. Benchmarks. Wowee-zowee.

    If it's that boring, why include it on the main page as a story?

  9. Re:can't believe their numbers on The Next Step in Fighting Spam: Greylisting · · Score: 1

    Just grepping the maillog looking for the messages I set up from within my sendmail.mc file.

    ie: (from sendmail.mc)
    FEATURE(`enhdnsbl', `relays.osirusoft.com', `Reject: Open Relay. See http://relays.osirusoft.com', `', `127.0.0.2.')
    and in the spamstat script the corresponding lines are:
    echo -n "Open Relay: "
    zgrep -c "Open Relay" $ML
    Where ML defaults to /var/log/maillog. I zgrep as it can take a parameter of any file and older logs get gzip'd when rotated.

    HTH

    Sorry man, if I released my leet "grep -c"-laden script, SCO would have lawyers banging at my door. ;)

  12. Byte link on My Visit to SCO · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    From the Byte link:
    Specifically, Sontag believes the "SCO technologies" which were misappropriated into AIX, IRIX, and the derivative UNIX-alikes (including Linux) are:
    JFS (Journalling File System).
    NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access), a SGI/Stanford collaboration.
    RCU (Read-Copy-Update).
    SMP (Symmetrical Multi-Processing).
    Shit, now I'm going to have SCO weenies kick in the computer room door at work and take our SGI machines away.

    Earth to Sontag YOU ARE INSANE Sue that, fuckhead.

    If you don't like what I have to say them make me an Enemy and filter me away. It's kind of warming to know that I have such an effect on a troll that he'd go to the trouble of posting like you did.

    I'm using up far more of your brain than you are mine, loser.

    Let grubby eat you up. That's a good dummy.

  25. Don't buy. on More Incompatible DVDs and CDs Coming Your Way · · Score: 1


    Just two stories ago, some people were commenting that MS has bowed to public pressure. The best way to voice your opinion is to not buy any protected music or movies. Ensure that the media firms know why, lest they attribute the lost sales to piracy.
