As a previous node operator and development mailing list lurker, I can tell you that shitty VMs account for half of Freenet's problems. When you write in C, you don't have to put up with a VM.
I'm a dangerously underweight, obsessive-compulsive computer geek, and I sit here with my stopwatch, timing out twenty seconds to write a comment, then resetting the watch and timing out two minutes until the next one.
It's called slow. I got to play with it for a while at a desktop publishing expo. I prefer my desktop environment with a bit of speed and responsiveness.
Besides which, the Austin Powers joke got old after the first movie...
I can't believe a talented actor and comedian like Mike Myers would waste his time churning out that rubbish. Wayne's World kicked ass, Austin Powers was a huge disappointment.
You're a geek, right?
Doesn't that make you a wacko, psycho, nut AND loser among the geeks who disagree with you about your stance on Jon Katz and the Hellmouth?
I'm in high-school right now and I've been going through some pretty rough times. I've considered both homicide and suicide (usually mixed together).
AND, GOD DAMN IT, I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS WHOLE FUCKING WORLD WHO *APPROVES* OF THE COLUMBINE SHOOTINGS!
(There, I've said it. Moderate me down for advocating murder)
A friend of mine got into trouble for some stuff he posted on his website. After punishing him, the school administration got the network guys to ban his site so that it's not accessible from the school (transparent proxy with a filter)
And here's some thing else: my site got banned too! Purely because I was his friend and was a geek, except that I didn't have anything offensive to the school on my website.
The next casual day I turned up in black clothes and a trench-coat and so did most of my other friends.
That depends on your definition of a nerd, really.
I was brought up believeing that a nerd is your general math/physics/whatever intellectual and that a geek is someone who uses computers for purposes other than work and video games.
(Seeing as this is a Jon Katz article and tempers and egos are in critical, I feel that i have to say "I'm not claiming that I'm right or that you're wrong, the nerd/geek definition thing is open to interpetation. Please don't flame me)
Java does suck. The only reason I don't run Freenet on my firewall is because my firewall is an outdated machine with only 64MB of RAM. This is fine for BIND and SQUID, but the IBM JRE sucks up the RAM like a whore.
I recently added 100MB of swap just so I could run the freenet-server, I had to do requests from another machine though.
Yes, wouldn't it be wonderful if this could all end in bloodshed?
I will now proceed to fantasise about Quantum Corporate HQ in flames as it's being stormed by hundreds of people in black jumpsuits withpenguin insignias, toting assault rifles... mmm...

I ran it for a while but it sucked up way too much RAM and ran too slowly for me to feel like I was contributing in a concrete way. I don't have enough machines at my disposal to make it worthwhile - I run distributed.net

On the contrary, I only read posts marked Off-topic, Flamebait or Troll.
As a logged in user, I claim this AC's first post for Nader, whose anti-semitic first post reclamations always make me laugh.
I love the arrogant way in which you graded that other user's comment. You, sir, are my hero.

I do it for the children!
Yours is a most worthy cause, and I will shower you with modpoints. (as soon as I get some)
I love you.

He's an "experienced (Windows) programmer," on Slashdot this usually means that his language is Visual Basic.
Mod me down for being right, I'll get you back in meta-moderation.

Everyone loves using Doom as an example. I haven't played the original game since I was in primary school but my dad still refers to it.
"Did you do anything with your life today, son? Probably just wasting your time playing DOOM as usual."
And how come they never pick on Half-Life or Quake II? Must be the lack of satanic imagery.

Katz isn't a bad guy. I think that most people who hate him and the Hellmouth series are probably people who were never abused [much] at school.
Damn it, all your posts on this subject are so frighteningly accurate!
(No, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely bitter about this)
1024x768, buddy
Because it's 4:3 ratio and
256 x 4 = 1024
256 x 3 = 768
720x480 is used for DVDs and I'm sure it has roots in broadcast video somewhere.
That hurts. That hurts on the inside.
Yeah, but are we really running a business-oriented server here? And what about servents like Napster and the Gnutella clones?
(In the past... *checks ntop* 10 days I've spent... ooer, $408.50. That's about $200 US)

Actually, SUN are no longer the "dot" in .com.
