SLASHDOT IS EVIL, you should be ashamed of yourselves. SLASHDOTTING AN ATRI800! What has this world come to. Next we will be slashdoting a poor defenseless little electronic watch, evil, bad slashdot.
I am serious, we all throw in a dollar (use CmdTaco as the moderator), setup a mail list or news group and have polls on things such as
"What server to use in this setup" 0 Linux 0 FreeBSD 0 OpenBSD 0 NetBSD 0 Solaris 0 DOS 0 Windows98 0 DOD Linux v3.2 0 CoffeeMateOS v0.0.00.1 ALPHA
and post such messages as "Where exactly is the web server located at?" and "Who posted porn to the 'Christ for Kids' forum?" and my favorite "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
AHH MY FREAKING EARS!
We could all meet once a year and where name tags like "Hi, my name is BOB, CEO of disorder.com" and "Hi, my name is TIM, CEO of disorder.com" and my favorite "Hi, my name is YOUR NAME TO, CEO or disorder.com"
I would be willing to throw in a dollar for 1/250,000 share of an Internet company, I would be called an equal shareholder! Are the rest of you 249,999 geeks with me? Come on, it is a dollar for a good cause.
I call dibs on the sugar packets in the break room!
The company would probably self-destruct in a pool of it's own anarchy, but hey it is $1 and I bet we would make the 6:00 clock news, plus I bet slashdot would link us, and then slashdot us.
(Everyone wants to be slashdotted atleast ONCE in their life time, come on, now is your chance!)
Send 1 dollar to:
CmdTaco SlashDot.com The Internet, USA 209.207.224. ATTN: regarding post on slashdot
How about posting the URL? Get some hits up this month for the site, and you can show those nice men a graph chart of the last years hits, and point and say "Look the line has been going up, and here we had a spike in March, line go up, this is good"
Also I say 250,000 geeks from slashdot throw in $1 a peice and buy the site. Everyone would have equal share, and we could run the business from a slashdot sytle forum!

And that isn't the bad part of it!
After these kids leave school anyone that doesn't fit into their fucked up view of what their society (school) said was "normal", they will view as wrong!
I am not a bad person, I like people, I go out of my way to make people feel good, make em laugh, or atleast I try. I also have a eye brow ring, not so bad, doesn't hurt anyone and the ladies seem to like it.
So I am standing in line at a public store, buying some cheese, meat and more cheese, I like cheese, pepper cheese. Standing in line right, looking at my cheese, not brothing anyone and these elder lady drops a couple things. I set down my cheese and help her pick up a few things, tring to be the "nice guy", and not only that, I was leaving my cheese unguarded, during this time. If their had been a cheese theif around, I would have really regreted this. But luckily, no one messed with my cheese.
So I have everything back in her cart, expect for a pad of paper, I stand up and hand this to her and are eyes contact. What does she say "Thank you for risking you cheese for the safety of my pad of paper"? No, she says, "what the hell is wrong with you?!" real anger like.
"How do you mean" "You have something, do you have a ring in your eye?" "Yea, it is called a stud"
She gave me a dirty look, I didn't think of it, and paid for my cheese and meat and started walking out the door. Before I hit the door the Stores Manager (I assume, he didn't show me his offical ID) tapped me on the arm and ask "Could you come of here a second?"
He was really nice about everything, but basically what he was getting at is that certain customers (while he was looking at the elderly lady) had complained about me soft lifting and using abusive launage. After about 5 minutes, the manager didn't have any reason to hold me. I showed him everything that was in my pockets, patted my coat down, untill he was sure I didn't have anything on me.
He was convinced I didn't have anything on me, and he was really nice about it to, he just had to "check out" all "alarms" as he put it.
The point being, just because someone looks differant, or acts differant, does not mean they are some freak that is going to kill everyone.
Also we have learned, that if you teach people that "this is wrong, this is right, no other way, this is the right way to look, this is the wrong way to look, there is no other way" People do a funny thing and carry that over into their adult life
Never leave you cheese unguarded no matter what! Cheese protection and the safety of your cheese is more important then tring to be a "good person". Watch your cheese
DOD Linux 3.2 B1 Security Inriched. -- Comes free with a Tux 12'plush pengiun
Free orange and red book with purchase. Must be 18 years or older before ordering. Not avaiable outside the United States.
I would buy DOD Linux for home usage, I got a lot of lesbian porn that I don't want my freinds to see. (kinda of embrassing when they find out your stock 50 gig RAID server is stuffed full and choking on porn)
(for the unenlightened) The above is a joke, the DOD doesn't have a Linux distro and I don't have a 50 Gig RAID server full of naked pics. I wish I had 50 gigs running under a DOD Linux distro, oh and porn, better yet, I wish I was a porno star (steal free porn when the director isn't looking ; )
DOD Linux motto should be:

WTF all the karma I just had before I posted this is now gone! It was there a second ago
IMHO I think she did the right thing about not answering the last question asked. It was an honest, fair question, but there is just way to much stuff anyone could go into.
Her purpose here, (the way I understand it) was to answer questions dealing with OSWG, her involment with it, and techinal writing in general. I don't think (IMHO) she would want to get into the indepth issuse as "gender and computers" during this interview, there is just to many ways it could go.
Sure they lose the long term sales, if the just sell the unit, but if they REQUIRE you to use the service also, they also lose the sale of the unit. No one is going to sign up to a year (or 2) service contact on an Xterm that they aren't going to use.
I know allot of people, including myself saying "Hey $100 for a freaking X term, where else can you beat that?"
I was going to get one to, not now, this is crap. You PAY for their product, what you do with it AFTER you have PAID them, is your right. If I want to buy a Compaq Computer and burn (as in fire, not as in CD-R)the Windows CD that comes with it, that is my right AFTER I have PAID them and they are happy with the payment.
They are losing sales. Sure only probably 1000 (if that) would have been sold to the geek population, but still $100 X 1000, that is some extra cash the company can put in their pocket.
What happens if you buy one, use there service for 2 months, then cancel service? The machine is still yours, if you want to burn it, break it, make it better, put NetBSD on it, run Linux on it, run OpenBSD on it, that is your right.
"You should be able to use it as a sex toy after you have paid for it, it is your right, and your duty as an American. As long as you don't hurt youself or other while lubing it up. I don't know about you, but that LCD is fscking sexy." Just for the record, I have not had sexy with the iOpener or any other type of computer/inanimate object. This would be a good time for a grits troll.
Plus NY is ranked in the top 10 highest costs of living.
$80K in NY == $40IL in almost any other city.
$120K may look like allot on paper, but not really. I was looking at a sysadmin job in Alaska, and it was running about $75K per year, + stock. I did some firgure, and I found out that I made MORE in IL doing asst. level sysadmin work then if I would of moved up there.
A 1 room "shed" up there was running for $85K, a 5 room house here doesn't break that.
I would have had allot neater systems to work with up there, the main reason I didn't go was because Alaska is fscking cold and all my family/freinds are down here.
BTW, they didn't have cusomer grade ISDN, DSL or cable there, 28.8 dial ups where $25 per/month.02$ per minute you where online (not my the telco, by the ISP!), I don't know what there telco charges.
It depends what city, $75K in Anachod (my spelling sucks) Alaska worked out to about $150 week spendable money after bills. Which if you have an addiaction to computers and the Internet isn't really that much, plus sometimes eating and putting gas in your car is nice.
I haven't lived or even looked at what it cost to live in NY (just remebered it from when I looked up Anacorg Alaska), but for a 6+ year sysadmin that is on top of his field, 120K this/could/ be reasonable. It also means any sysadmin that takes a job like this will mean he will be there 24/7 no matter what and he will be lucky if he can find 6 hours a day to eat/sleep/shower and relax on the "non-busy" days, if in fact "non-busy" days do exist.

The IT Labor Shortage
·
· Score: 1
No shit. I used to work for a company (which shalt remain nameless) that tried to hire out of US works. The staff there was %90 non-us, %10 white americans. I was one of the white americans. System admin work, for that company in the last 7 years they have had 10 system admins! Why? I don't know forgein works do come in system admin form?
Anyways, all the programers and hackers there where highly skilled people (non-us). They work C/C++ for 12-16 hours per day, 5 days a week. Really nice people, really skilled to.
The thing I never understood was that I (Unix system admin) was making 4 times the amount the head developer (ie. real hacker) was making, he was more skilled at his trade then me, he worked harder and longer hours and had more experience.
Typically programers make more than a system admin. That is the way it is, anyone can get a couple Linux boxes at home and learn basic admin in a couple month, but programmers ussually need massive amounts of college and practice to learn their trade.
I left the company awhile ago because the company was really fucking immoral about it's business practices (and can I really say this in an interview, they will think I am dis-guntled), and now I see why they had so many out of state workers.
To think about it, when the head developer/programmer was working there (still is), he was making less than my freind (based on per hour) that did manual labor (put CD's into boxes all day).
Seriouly this guy was chucking out 12-16 hour days, had developed and programed thousands of lines of code, everything from GUI to lowlevel ASM, he was a really good hacker. He once re-wrote a driver for an ATM card without source to the card nor the old driver, by him self, by hand, during the weekend, his "spare" time.
The world is fucked up. These workers should not be controlled like this. They should be able to come into the country, and be able to work for any dam company they wish. If it suckes, they SHOULD have the right of us americans have and say "This fucking sucks, you are an asshole, fuck off I am going to work at VA Linux."
They may be non-citizens, they maybe non-american, but what really matters is that they are true hackers at heart.
I want to work for a company that is controlled by geeks, not some greedy money-hungary asshole who only cares about the "bottom line"
There is 2 things more important (as far as jobs are concerned, NOT life in general), and that is people must come first, second it should be done for the "hack" or because it is the Right Thing(TM) to do. It should be done, because that is they way it should be done, NOT because it will make or loss money.
Fuck that, fuck these companies, I should go into a differant field where they care about their employees and they care about the Right Way(TM) of doing things, not the bottom line.
I would take a lower paying job that had a better office moral, higher job safication, and more "human" envoirment with/real/ people and real feelings then a really high paying job with fucking no job safication and no respect for the person on help desk or person in the programmers chair.
If you want to bring more workers in, that is fine, along as they do it the Right Way(TM). Make sure they have they same rights as the other people living in this country. If they don't or can't bring the workers in and give them the rights they derserve, they should not bring them in at all, because the only thing they are doing is bring them into slavery.
I could be one-sided since the only experience I have had with this is from a company that was already immoral about their business practices, so if they are already corrupted at one aspect of the business, it could of fed over into this part of their HR department.
Maybe there is companies out there that do have moral and right ways of bringing forgein work in, but for the rest of the companies that do it the Wrong Way(TM):
I know it is/REALLY/ bad form to reply to your own post, but the point, plain and simple.
Should an "adult" male be judge as a bad person, and the sum of the earth, just because he enjoy the/pure/ joy that lego's can provide?
I wasn't even making the "gun shoot" or "whooshing" sounds with my mouth like when I was a kid, I had a very adult and professinal apperance towards my lego experince. I was in a suit and fucking tie for God's sake.
Fucking kill me, anyone that enjoyes lego's should fucking die.
I am 21 (male) and my sister is 18 (female, duh!), anyways one of her freinds gave here like 3 10 gallon buckets full of legos. Now me, and my geek instances (and childish though pattern) though "WOW!" fucking lego's man, and 30 fucking gallons of them.
I sit down and start going though them, and there are all these fucked up parts I have never seen when I was a kid. There was thousands of lego's, as a kid I loved these fucking things.
So what do I do? I dump them all out and start building a full size coffee table. WTF man, there was like 30 gallons of freaking legos, start with something easy, but since there is so many legos I could build something big!
Remember, this is a 21 year old kid^H^H^H adult smiling and really happy. (lego's are fun).
Anyways I hold a steady job as a system admin, have my own apartment, paying on a car, what some might say as a "productive member of society". The point being, I have/atleast/ some education and/atleast/ some thought patterns moving though my head, it is not like I have the though power of a 2 year old kid, but the thoughts of an adult (on most issuses, besides legos). The point is, I can act professinal and like an adult, but sometimes enjoy playing with lego's when avaiable.
There is nothing wrong with this! Stop judging my LEGO HABIT DAMMIT! It is not like I do it everyday, just once in awhile, and there was 30 fucking gallons of them, have you ever seen 30 fucking gallons of legos, man? Fuck, I bet %99 of slashdot would be atleast intersted in what 30 fucking gallons of lego's look like. Don't fucking judge me on my lego habit dammit, any of you would have done the same thing.
Anyways one of my sisters college freinds (who is extremely hot) (19, female) came in. This chic thinks I am a geek, well because I sit at a computer for 16 hours a day. A loser, because I don't have a girlfreind. A a weirdo, because my social skills are less then par. A pig for referering to the Female gender as "chics" and "women". (She got offened over the word "women"!!!, wtf is the deal with that) And now she see's me on a "lego high" getting my kicks from toys that kids play with.
Admittly it was fun, but it was kinda of embrassering. I seen links in this forum to lego cad programs for Linux, this is good on so many levels.
I can have something that looks like a highly advanced engining computer sceince program on my computer screen, but when in fact I am doing nothing more than playing with lego's.
The moral of the story is:
Chicks don't dig geeks that play with lego's, no matter how many lego's are avaiable.
Chicks don't see the art and science it takes to make a 15 foot battle ship with moving parts from lego's.
Chicks dig complex look GUI 3D programs.
So my question to the slashDOT crowd is; how the hell do you get a girlfreind with OUT compromising your "geek instances"?
&Rant(); sub Rant() { Is it REALLY that fucking wrong to play with lego's? Is it that potically incorrect? Mark me with the fucking plague, I enjoy lego's under certain sisuations! Tie me up, nail me down, hang me, then sit me on a fucking cross and mock me, for the simple fact I enjoy plastic interlocking blocks! I should be fucking shot in the head for the simple enjoyment of colored plastic interlocking cubes. FUCK! kill me, I am ready to go. return; }
That is THE Springfield to. It is about an hour away from where I live. There is a town next to it called Shellbyvill, which if you watch the Simpsons closely they make refererences to it. There is also a Lake Spring I think.
How many people does it take to churn out Slackware? Do you think the size or number of people hacking at Slackware will increase once Slackware Linux, Inc. offical comes to light?
Do you see any major techinal issuses or details that will change with the distro it's self once the change from Walnut Creek CD-ROM to Slackware Linux, Inc. is completed? (or will the goals for the Slackware distro remain largely the same?)
43.5% slashdot pure (56.5% slashdot corrupt). According to the scoring guide, your slashdot experience level is: Average Geek
That Grape story has already be posted on a SlashDot Quickie! About 6 to 12 months around it was up on here, I think someone is smoking to much dope at the geek compound. If they start posting stories about food then we know they are puffing on the wacking weed over there. I think we need a web cam that is focused on the slashdot crews eyes.
Think about it, a geek is only 1 step away from turning into the college dope head, geeks sit in front of computers 18 hours a day while pothead sit in front of TV for 18 hours a day. Take away a geek's keyboard and hand him a bong and it is all over.
I would like a slashdot poll that rates which drugs geeks use, I am clean (for the record, you know the FBI monitors slashdot post), but was wondering "Ask Slash: Can LSD enhance AI programming in LISP?"

SSH v. SRP

· Score: 3
Sure telnet can connect to any port, this is really great for testing out service "by hand" or to see if xyz host can connect to port xx on host zyx though the firewall. Sure telnet is invaulable for some things, but it is still unsecure.
For example, if you telnet into a server, su to root, do some root work, exit root account, read your email, exit the telnet session. If someone was sniffing your network they would have
1) you login and password 2) ROOTS! login and passowrd!! 3) the IP of the machine your telneted into 4) A rough idea of how you work, what "major" logs, info you check when you fist log on 5) that you girlfriend is pissed at you (via the email) 6) that your boss is pissed at you (via the email) 7) that pretty much anyone that emails you has some bitching to do about something (via the email) 8) how good of a typist you are.
Sure telnet is convent, but is insecure. If you do anytype of remote rooting(TM) you need SSH. I would highly suggest you use SSH for normal remote logs and ALWAYS use SSH when doing remote rooting(TM).
True story, I know a freind that used to go to college part time, and did Jr. level admin stuff for a local company. At school one day he was chilling at the computer lab after class, he got an email at his school's email account saying that their was problems with XYZ on the server at work and all hell was breaking loose. He quickly fired up Windows 95 Telnet, hoped over to the site in normal user mode, looked around and firgured out the problem. The problem needed root access, he shoved up the SU command without a thought, entered the password, fixed the problem, the bosses where happy.
The thing he didn't know was that there was a group of college security nerd playing around in the computer lab at the time, they where developing a Windows 95 ethernet sniffer. It was still beta, but it sure enough grab his password and also ROOT's password!!! They told him about it, and he promptly called an admin on site that changed root's password from the console, but if these security nerds in the computer lab where script kids or malice mother fuckers, who knows what would of happened!!
Sniffing is easy, try sniffit, a easy to use packet sniffer for Linux. When I was on help desk I used to sniff the admin computer and come up with all kinda of neat things. The thing I didn't want to find out though is that %90 of his day was involed in IRC chatting under the #lesbains channel with the nick Amy34Blonde (he was male).

Sure they lose the long term sales, if the just sell the unit, but if they REQUIRE you to use the service also, they also lose the sale of the unit. No one is going to sign up to a year (or 2) service contact on an Xterm that they aren't going to use.
I know allot of people, including myself saying "Hey $100 for a freaking X term, where else can you beat that?"
I was going to get one to, not now, this is crap. You PAY for their product, what you do with it AFTER you have PAID them, is your right. If I want to buy a Compaq Computer and burn (as in fire, not as in CD-R)the Windows CD that comes with it, that is my right AFTER I have PAID them and they are happy with the payment.
They are losing sales. Sure only probably 1000 (if that) would have been sold to the geek population, but still $100 X 1000, that is some extra cash the company can put in their pocket.
What happens if you buy one, use there service for 2 months, then cancel service? The machine is still yours, if you want to burn it, break it, make it better, put NetBSD on it, run Linux on it, run OpenBSD on it, that is your right.
"You should be able to use it as a sex toy after you have paid for it, it is your right, and your duty as an American. As long as you don't hurt youself or other while lubing it up. I don't know about you, but that LCD is fscking sexy." Just for the record, I have not had sexy with the iOpener or any other type of computer/inanimate object. This would be a good time for a grits troll.
Plus NY is ranked in the top 10 highest costs of living.
.02$ per minute you where online (not my the telco, by the ISP!), I don't know what there telco charges.
/could/ be reasonable. It also means any sysadmin that takes a job like this will mean he will be there 24/7 no matter what and he will be lucky if he can find 6 hours a day to eat/sleep/shower and relax on the "non-busy" days, if in fact "non-busy" days do exist.
$80K in NY == $40IL in almost any other city.
$120K may look like allot on paper, but not really. I was looking at a sysadmin job in Alaska, and it was running about $75K per year, + stock. I did some firgure, and I found out that I made MORE in IL doing asst. level sysadmin work then if I would of moved up there.
A 1 room "shed" up there was running for $85K, a 5 room house here doesn't break that.
I would have had allot neater systems to work with up there, the main reason I didn't go was because Alaska is fscking cold and all my family/freinds are down here.
BTW, they didn't have cusomer grade ISDN, DSL or cable there, 28.8 dial ups where $25 per/month
It depends what city, $75K in Anachod (my spelling sucks) Alaska worked out to about $150 week spendable money after bills. Which if you have an addiaction to computers and the Internet isn't really that much, plus sometimes eating and putting gas in your car is nice.
I haven't lived or even looked at what it cost to live in NY (just remebered it from when I looked up Anacorg Alaska), but for a 6+ year sysadmin that is on top of his field, 120K this

No shit. I used to work for a company (which shalt remain nameless) that tried to hire out of US works. The staff there was %90 non-us, %10 white americans. I was one of the white americans. System admin work, for that company in the last 7 years they have had 10 system admins! Why? I don't know forgein works do come in system admin form?
Anyways, all the programers and hackers there where highly skilled people (non-us). They work C/C++ for 12-16 hours per day, 5 days a week. Really nice people, really skilled to.
The thing I never understood was that I (Unix system admin) was making 4 times the amount the head developer (ie. real hacker) was making, he was more skilled at his trade then me, he worked harder and longer hours and had more experience.
Typically programers make more than a system admin. That is the way it is, anyone can get a couple Linux boxes at home and learn basic admin in a couple month, but programmers ussually need massive amounts of college and practice to learn their trade.
I left the company awhile ago because the company was really fucking immoral about it's business practices (and can I really say this in an interview, they will think I am dis-guntled), and now I see why they had so many out of state workers.
To think about it, when the head developer/programmer was working there (still is), he was making less than my freind (based on per hour) that did manual labor (put CD's into boxes all day).
Seriouly this guy was chucking out 12-16 hour days, had developed and programed thousands of lines of code, everything from GUI to lowlevel ASM, he was a really good hacker. He once re-wrote a driver for an ATM card without source to the card nor the old driver, by him self, by hand, during the weekend, his "spare" time.
The world is fucked up. These workers should not be controlled like this. They should be able to come into the country, and be able to work for any dam company they wish. If it suckes, they SHOULD have the right of us americans have and say "This fucking sucks, you are an asshole, fuck off I am going to work at VA Linux."
They may be non-citizens, they maybe non-american, but what really matters is that they are true hackers at heart.
I want to work for a company that is controlled by geeks, not some greedy money-hungary asshole who only cares about the "bottom line"
There is 2 things more important (as far as jobs are concerned, NOT life in general), and that is people must come first, second it should be done for the "hack" or because it is the Right Thing(TM) to do. It should be done, because that is they way it should be done, NOT because it will make or loss money.
Fuck that, fuck these companies, I should go into a differant field where they care about their employees and they care about the Right Way(TM) of doing things, not the bottom line.
I would take a lower paying job that had a better office moral, higher job safication, and more "human" envoirment with
If you want to bring more workers in, that is fine, along as they do it the Right Way(TM). Make sure they have they same rights as the other people living in this country. If they don't or can't bring the workers in and give them the rights they derserve, they should not bring them in at all, because the only thing they are doing is bring them into slavery.
I could be one-sided since the only experience I have had with this is from a company that was already immoral about their business practices, so if they are already corrupted at one aspect of the business, it could of fed over into this part of their HR department.
Maybe there is companies out there that do have moral and right ways of bringing forgein work in, but for the rest of the companies that do it the Wrong Way(TM):
Fuck those companies, they should be shot.

I know it is /REALLY/ bad form to reply to your own post, but the point, plain and simple.
/pure/ joy that lego's can provide?
Should an "adult" male be judge as a bad person, and the sum of the earth, just because he enjoy the
I wasn't even making the "gun shoot" or "whooshing" sounds with my mouth like when I was a kid, I had a very adult and professinal apperance towards my lego experince. I was in a suit and fucking tie for God's sake.
Fucking kill me, anyone that enjoyes lego's should fucking die.
I am 21 (male) and my sister is 18 (female, duh!), anyways one of her freinds gave here like 3 10 gallon buckets full of legos. Now me, and my geek instances (and childish though pattern) though "WOW!" fucking lego's man, and 30 fucking gallons of them.
I sit down and start going though them, and there are all these fucked up parts I have never seen when I was a kid. There was thousands of lego's, as a kid I loved these fucking things.
So what do I do? I dump them all out and start building a full size coffee table. WTF man, there was like 30 gallons of freaking legos, start with something easy, but since there is so many legos I could build something big!
Remember, this is a 21 year old kid^H^H^H adult smiling and really happy. (lego's are fun).
Anyways I hold a steady job as a system admin, have my own apartment, paying on a car, what some might say as a "productive member of society". The point being, I have
There is nothing wrong with this! Stop judging my LEGO HABIT DAMMIT! It is not like I do it everyday, just once in awhile, and there was 30 fucking gallons of them, have you ever seen 30 fucking gallons of legos, man? Fuck, I bet %99 of slashdot would be atleast intersted in what 30 fucking gallons of lego's look like. Don't fucking judge me on my lego habit dammit, any of you would have done the same thing.
Anyways one of my sisters college freinds (who is extremely hot) (19, female) came in. This chic thinks I am a geek, well because I sit at a computer for 16 hours a day. A loser, because I don't have a girlfreind. A a weirdo, because my social skills are less then par. A pig for referering to the Female gender as "chics" and "women". (She got offened over the word "women"!!!, wtf is the deal with that) And now she see's me on a "lego high" getting my kicks from toys that kids play with.
Admittly it was fun, but it was kinda of embrassering. I seen links in this forum to lego cad programs for Linux, this is good on so many levels.
I can have something that looks like a highly advanced engining computer sceince program on my computer screen, but when in fact I am doing nothing more than playing with lego's.
The moral of the story is:
Chicks don't dig geeks that play with lego's, no matter how many lego's are avaiable.
Chicks don't see the art and science it takes to make a 15 foot battle ship with moving parts from lego's.
Chicks dig complex look GUI 3D programs.
So my question to the slashDOT crowd is; how the hell do you get a girlfreind with OUT compromising your "geek instances"?
&Rant();
sub Rant() {
Is it REALLY that fucking wrong to play with lego's? Is it that potically incorrect? Mark me with the fucking plague, I enjoy lego's under certain sisuations! Tie me up, nail me down, hang me, then sit me on a fucking cross and mock me, for the simple fact I enjoy plastic interlocking blocks! I should be fucking shot in the head for the simple enjoyment of colored plastic interlocking cubes. FUCK! kill me, I am ready to go.

That is THE Springfield to. It is about an hour away from where I live. There is a town next to it called Shellbyvill, which if you watch the Simpsons closely they make refererences to it. There is also a Lake Spring I think.

Yes office I am stoned out of my fucking mind and triping on X, it is a requirement by my school, let me enjoy my higher education Pig.
Where can I enroll? : )
How many people does it take to churn out Slackware? Do you think the size or number of people hacking at Slackware will increase once Slackware Linux, Inc. offical comes to light?
Do you see any major techinal issuses or details that will change with the distro it's self once the change from Walnut Creek CD-ROM to Slackware Linux, Inc. is completed? (or will the goals for the Slackware distro remain largely the same?)
"Linux is now the second-most-widely-used PC operating system in the world, firm proof that the open source concept is completely commercially viable"
Is this true? You got to be shitting me, what about MacOS 8 or whatever runs on those iMac's and iBook, Linux beat out them? Cool
43.5% slashdot pure (56.5% slashdot corrupt).
According to the scoring guide, your slashdot experience level is: Average Geek
That Grape story has already be posted on a SlashDot Quickie! About 6 to 12 months around it was up on here, I think someone is smoking to much dope at the geek compound. If they start posting stories about food then we know they are puffing on the wacking weed over there. I think we need a web cam that is focused on the slashdot crews eyes.
Think about it, a geek is only 1 step away from turning into the college dope head, geeks sit in front of computers 18 hours a day while pothead sit in front of TV for 18 hours a day. Take away a geek's keyboard and hand him a bong and it is all over.
I would like a slashdot poll that rates which drugs geeks use, I am clean (for the record, you know the FBI monitors slashdot post), but was wondering "Ask Slash: Can LSD enhance AI programming in LISP?"
"My philosophy is that technology transfer is fundamentally a social process,"
Sure this sounds great! I am a productive member of soceity can I join in and help code Windows 2000? Please send url where I can download the complete Windows 2000 source code, thanks.
Sure telnet can connect to any port, this is really great for testing out service "by hand" or to see if xyz host can connect to port xx on host zyx though the firewall. Sure telnet is invaulable for some things, but it is still unsecure.
For example, if you telnet into a server, su to root, do some root work, exit root account, read your email, exit the telnet session. If someone was sniffing your network they would have
1) you login and password
2) ROOTS! login and passowrd!!
3) the IP of the machine your telneted into
4) A rough idea of how you work, what "major" logs, info you check when you fist log on
5) that you girlfriend is pissed at you (via the email)
6) that your boss is pissed at you (via the email)
7) that pretty much anyone that emails you has some bitching to do about something (via the email)
8) how good of a typist you are.
Sure telnet is convent, but is insecure. If you do anytype of remote rooting(TM) you need SSH. I would highly suggest you use SSH for normal remote logs and ALWAYS use SSH when doing remote rooting(TM).
True story, I know a freind that used to go to college part time, and did Jr. level admin stuff for a local company. At school one day he was chilling at the computer lab after class, he got an email at his school's email account saying that their was problems with XYZ on the server at work and all hell was breaking loose. He quickly fired up Windows 95 Telnet, hoped over to the site in normal user mode, looked around and firgured out the problem. The problem needed root access, he shoved up the SU command without a thought, entered the password, fixed the problem, the bosses where happy.
The thing he didn't know was that there was a group of college security nerd playing around in the computer lab at the time, they where developing a Windows 95 ethernet sniffer. It was still beta, but it sure enough grab his password and also ROOT's password!!! They told him about it, and he promptly called an admin on site that changed root's password from the console, but if these security nerds in the computer lab where script kids or malice mother fuckers, who knows what would of happened!!
Sniffing is easy, try sniffit, a easy to use packet sniffer for Linux. When I was on help desk I used to sniff the admin computer and come up with all kinda of neat things. The thing I didn't want to find out though is that %90 of his day was involed in IRC chatting under the #lesbains channel with the nick Amy34Blonde (he was male).
