A good starting point. I'll look into it. Of course, any OS level key logging will be a factor, and the traffic will be easily traceable to Machine Y in the logs. Temporarily changing the MAC address and machine name will be far more secure, and a simple press of the "Reset" button clear nay and all evidence.
While there's no way to make it impossible to track the traffic back to the actual machine, it an be made difficult enough that most IT departments won't bother, especially if you;re not using much in the way of bandwidth.
Besides, a hidden partition on a bootable CD or DVD opens up sponsoring options by allowing for videos and the like to be read form the CD. Perhaps a tool for building the CD / DVD could include an option for copying your favorite clips or libraries at burn time. Add a "My Favorite Porn" folder to the boot from CD desktop.
Well, I wouldn't be using it, but we all know managers, PHBs and coworkers who would use it in a heartbeat.
Hell, I used to work with a network admin who played his favorite porn clips for general IT consumption, with the volume cranked loud enough for the customer service people upstairs to hear it!
If you want to make money off the CD, then start selling the links. Want links to your site included in PornLinux? Pony up the fee. Want some of your video clips (Complete with watermarks of course) on the CD in such a way as to make your site seem faster than the competitors? Pay the fee. Want to be a "preferred vendor" in the links on the CD, complete with links on the desktop instead of in the Bookmarks on the web browser? Pay the fee.
We all know Porn was the first thing on the Net to make money. Why should Linux be any different.
Now watch some bastard steal my idea, make a fortune and not pay me a royalty for the idea. I should patent it. Heaven knows the US Patent office would grant it in a heartbeat.
It's a boot from CD Linux, set up with all the links, video codecs and the like to let you put it in, boot and wank.
No traces left behind on the hard drive, no audit trails. If it spoofs a MAC address (A required feature) you can even use it on many corporate networks and no one will be table to trace it to you without puring over router logs.
Even better, make it a two part ion CD. One "regular" partition with something like documentation or even a backup of the user's data. The other is the bootable partition. A Linux partition of course, EXT3 or the like, so it can't be read from stock Windows. Design it so it looks like an Apple partition if Windows tries to get at it.
Oh good grief. What a "The Sky is Falling" post. How many missions have these shuttles flown? How many times has one taken off and landed? How many disasters have there been?
How in the world did such a random, flaky, paranoid article get listed anyway???
Feh, I wonder which/. editor hpulley is sleeping with.
I still play Nethack on the PC and Rogue on my Palm (Since a working Nethack port has never been done for the Palm due to the piss poor hardware and API)
Endless gameplay.
Those Nethack guys have thought of EVERYTHING!
I'm so damn close to getting a free ipod, which I'll fill entirely with CC licensed podcasts and rips of CDS I own.
Of course, in order to protect the children, any time an impure or immoral thought enters the mind, an electric shock will be delivered.
Of course, no one will realize that this results in an impotent population who can't reproduce without the aid of science.
Only the wealthy reproduce, since they're the only ones who can either afford the fertility aid, or can bribe their way out of their kids having the chips.
The middle and under classes literally die out, as no one can manage to reproduce.
American Civilization collapses, as the nation is invaded and divided by the nations that still have viable, living populations.
Actually, it's kind of refreshing to realize Bush's moral zeal is self correcting, and will eventually die off, at least in it's current extreme form.

Really, so you correlated the usernames of the people posting posting pro P2P with the usernames of people posting pro GPL and found they were all the same people, and that there were hundreds of them?
You have some statistics saying that it's the same group of people?
Or are you saying "the majority of/.ers" because you see lots of posts in both topic areas, recognized a few names as common to both categories of discussion, and assume that the two groups overlap?
Slashdot Mirror
Sometimes I don't understand why companies would go to such an extent to come out with some nice products, then hopelessly find a way to ruin it.
Read more Dilbert. That will explain it all
The place I used to work was the one with the Network Admin who watched porn in the office.
Ask me again in three months when the last of staff members I liked have been down-sized in the post buy out purge.
Mmmmm.
/me remembers his college days.
Russian babes.
You DON'T. You make the porn sites pay to have a link to their web site added to the distro.
Or you make the users pay for a CD/DVD that's loaded with the porn that's been purchased from said sites. (Would require partnerships with said sites)
Nah, I'll just use my bookmarks to start.
Er.
Yes, yes I will need such researchers until such time as the distro starts selling ad space and links!
Hell yeah I'm posting this AC.
Why? Now I can't pay you a royalty for the idea if I use it!
And suddenly, a Porn idea spawns defense and espionage related applications.

I wonder if the first release will make it to the Slashdot front page?
I find it funny that I got the "Slow Down Cowboy!" message from Slashdot the first time I tried to post the above.
I'm now seeking partners in a new business venture.
The Knoppix toolkit for building your own distro is a natural starting point.
Finally, a business reason to buy Knoppix Hacks, and I can claim it as a deduction!
Don't know if I'll call it PAL, PornLinux or what, but it's worth a shot.
Anyone know how to contact the people behind Stileproject? Anyone got Minka's business address? Who has the rights to all the Candy Samples videos?
Well, I wouldn't be using it, but we all know managers, PHBs and coworkers who would use it in a heartbeat.

Instant software popularity.
It makes sense then that Purdue tends to do well, groups at Purdue have been building these for decades competing against each other.
Man, that's a LOT of time as an undergrad.
I see you too, are a member of the "American Non Sequiter Society"

Feh, I wonder which
Z/Angband
Hmmm. Never played that one. OSS? Commercial?? Palm Port??
A quick Perl script can do that for you.
Have the script do the following:
Download the front page of wwww.nethack.org
Generate a Checksum.
Compare the Checksum to the saved Checksum.
If no saved checksum exists, save the checksum to file. (First run condition)
If a saved checksum exists, and it matches the checksum for today's page, exit without a word.
If the checksums don't match, e-mail $user telling them the site has been updated.
Create a scheduled task to run the script daily.
Never have to manually check the site again.
This is why I gave up on most games.

Of course.
We all know The Shurb is infallible!
Just like The Pope used to be, but isn't, because now God only loves the Conservative Right.
Probably for the same reason "The Adventures of Mark Twain" is VHS only.
No budget for a DVD conversion.
There was a female Dr in a very nice Dr Who Parody
Hugh Grant also plays Dr Who, as do a few other people.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Well, all the GOOD entries are friends only, so of course it looks lame to outsiders.
