I don't really approve of the method used by the folks at guinness, this guy who registered these domain names should propbably be in a mental institution if he thinks that Guinness sucks.
When those pesky alumnus donation forms show up in your mailbox in a few years you at least have an excuse, you can just refer them back to this particular incident and flip the bird in their general direction. And then when you make your fortune on your first IPO you can call up the Dean of Student Affairs and let him know where he can shove his goddamn attitude.
And the domain name system would start looking like usenet. Not that there's anything wrong with usenet.

... and I'd use some of them to shoot the writers churning out the bilge on the Simpson's for the past couple of seasons. And I'd pop the new homer too. Face it, the Simpson's time is past. It reminds me of last few years of the the Cosby show. Dreck. And the lame threat of attacks on Canadians is getting old.
The e2compr kernel patch installed one can compress files, dirs using 'chattr +c'. A directory with the '+c' attribute set will compress everthing that gets copied there (but for.gz files.) The patch is not ready for prime time and with the advent of JFS, ReiserFS, etc, we may finally be seeing the end of ext2.
They also want youngsters who are still in the amoebal stage and look forward to sitting in front of a computer for 18 hours a day. Those of us who have passed 35 years of age are definitely widely ignored. Myself, with 25 years of experience in the industry (15 with unix and linux since '92) one would think that I would somehow be bankable to IT companies. These companies rarely even bother responding anymore so I've just stopped sending out cv's. Most of the contract work I get is word of mouth, which is fine by me.
What really annoys me are the constant comments from your average L^Huser that "you are so lucky" to be a geek in this day and age. Bullshit, you're better off as a lawyer, doctor or chartered accountant. Even a pinhead with a BA and experience in personnel is better off once past 35.
Because a lot of this stuff is probably not worth listing on ebay. The idea of selling someone a piece of equipment that's worth less than its shipping cost is hardly a moneymaker. That old 486 motherboard is worth what? Five bucks maybe - if you find a sucker. I've got a shitload of old AT power supplies, most just need a new fan soldered in (I fucking hate power supply fans).
This is a potentially really good idea. Something that charities could use to get reasonably cheap (since S&H seems to be the defacto requirement for all offers) equipment.
Besides, no one is holding a gun to your head. If you don't want to take the time to donate your old crap then don't go to Freeboxen.
But for a slash shouldn't IBM's legal department be investigating this name? Every time I see PS2 mentionned on/. it takes me a few seconds to parse the abbreviation into a modern context.
IPv6 will allow more people to have static addresses because more addresses are available. Whether static addresses end up becoming the norm remains to be seen. A dynamic system of assigning IP's to names would eliminate this problem and remove the problem of identifying users based on their IP address.
The MAC address is completely independent of your ISP, it's hardwired into your Network Interface Card (NIC aka Ethernet card). DHCP can use MAC addresses to map the same IP to a given NIC.
All good points. And most readers I know could get through 1/3 of a King novel in a couple of hours. Does anyone really want to read this novel over a 3 month period?
First chapter free. Pay for the rest, get it immediately after reading the first chapter.
Your argument would have carried a bit more weight if you were running 5.2 patched and generally upgraded to 2.2.17. What's this boinkum about an old Redhat 6.2 system all about? My stable old Redhat systems are running 6.0.
Otherwise I agree with you. But what are you gonna do, it's been inbred into the geek culture.
Wait a couple days to upgrade our stable old Redhat 6.2 systems and traffic will be mostly back to normal -- or find another mirror.

Then again, a search for apache htaccess failed. Maybe I should have included linux in the search criterium.
Funny that you're not sure since the seller on ebay appears to be someone named ravenwolff. Coincidence? Not fucking likely.
Ha ha. You fucking yanks are a laugh riot.
No more excuses.

Aren't you describing wholesaler's?
Anyway, I hope it proved useful to him.

I like evilness as a word, really, sounds groovilicious, but evil will do as the adjective.

And for software this could be a convenient way to ensure that your Microsoft OS is already damaged before it even gets installed! Why waste time.
The shit doesn't belong on /.
What'd they think they'd find there? A tamale? Mmmmm, tamales.

Think differently!
