  3. Funny story on ADV Confirms Cable Anime Channel · · Score: 3, Funny

    So I had puter setup and for some crazy reason I had anonymous ftp set to read and write.

    Well, one night I'm in bed and I can hear the server hard drive going crazy. I go over to the server and the console is slow as crap. I check the log and I'm out of diskspace on a 8gig drive that had nothing really on it but a bare bones install of redhat.

    So I start searching around doing du and I notice that my ftp folder has about 7gig of data. I look in the folder and there are hundreds of anime porn videos!

    I do a search on the internet for my ip and find out that I got flagged as the anime porn hub of the internet. Needless to say, I shut down ftp and made a lot of anime porn fans unhappy.

    Personally, I don't get the infacuation with anime porn.. but hey, people also like to watch beastiality and bukkake.

  6. Re:Yay! on Laser Shoots Down Artillery Shell In Flight · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So, lets review. 'Predator' unmanned aircraft armed with Hellfire missles for patrol and attacks, lasers to shoot down artillery (and you know bullets are coming soon), Star Wars V2 to protect us from missiles, and any country that tries to develop anything we don't like gets a "regime change".


    Hrm.. well we [Americans] have to get something out of our tax dollars. It sure made my day when CNN reported they were able to identify the target of the hellfire by the leg fragment they found by the blast site.

    Honestly, peoples hostility to this program in current time has me baffled.

    Probably just snooty French men who are afraid they won't be under the umbrella of protection that the US will be able to offer in 10-15 years.

    It will be pretty funny how quick France and these other little puke countries get on board with the US when we threaten to remove our anti-nuke satelite defense system from their homeland.

    Microsoft gets my money without my consent. This is robery -- they are stealing from me.

    Supply and Demand 101. If there was a market for laptops with no OS, someone would be selling them. Nobody, meaning the majority of laptop buyers, wants to buy a system with no OS.

    MS is stealing from me? I would imagine that we steal from MS much much much more than they have ever "stole" from us.

    I told him that my wife likes to walk around the house naked and he no problems with that either! What a great guy.

    Unfortunately, the most popular browser becomes the browser that sites get coded against. Consequently, it becomes the standard. Key word is unfortunately.

    My problem with Fords is not that "they crash more" which is kinda funny since the driver is responsible for driving the car.. my problem with Ford is how they cover up known faults in their cars and they don't give two shits about the public's saftey. For instance, the link about the cop cars blowing up because of a problem with the gas tanks on the crown victorias is being fixed, for free, by Ford. However, they are not fixing the crown victorias bought by the normal joe schmoe. I don't even want to begin to comment on the firestone debacle.

  20. Re:These articles proliferate the problem on Online Banking And Browser Support · · Score: 3, Redundant

    IE is standard because it's the most popular web browser. When banks analyze their log file traffic and 90%+ of their traffic is coming from IE, then yes, people get the impression that IE is the standard.

    Does IE actually use "standards" though? Well, that's another argument. Unfortunately, the most popular browser becomes the browser that sites get coded against. Consequently, it becomes the standard.

    I would say that Opera is an alternative browser too. The average web user has no idea what Opera is. Even if they did know what it is, why would they even want another web browser when IE is conviently located on their desktop? Man, if the IE icon isn't right on the start menu, quick launch toolbar and on the desktop, my family has no idea where the icon is.

    And it's a good thing Ford isn't the standard otherwise we would have to deal with more of this and that but I digress

  21. Re:Why the heck /should/ banks support "alt" brows on Online Banking And Browser Support · · Score: 2

    There's a difference between what's required by law and what would "be nice to have". Sure it's your right to use whatever web browser you want, but don't expect anyone to to start crying because you get an error in Konqueror.

    The truth is that when a bank builds an online banking application and they start UAT testing, there will be no mention of Mozillas, Operas and Konquerors. You'll be lucky if it works in NS 4.72+ and IE 5.0.

    You honestly think anyone is screaming in board meetings "Good heavens, our application doesn't work in Opera!"

    The only reason why some of these applications work in Opera/Mozilla is just by chance that they emulate the popular web browsers.
