    "Bill, The Galactic Hero"

    In a sane world, that book would be required reading, for the 7th grade.

    The film should have been made, and released in 2001. It's sadly, too little, too late - but for the bitter laughter of those who were wise to this, all along.

    Instead, we get fed garbage and lies like "24" and "Zero Dark Thirty" - While we are still sending children to kill children.

  12. MADE FOR SECURE VIRTUAL APPLIANCES: on Linux Fatware: Distros That Need To Slim Down · · Score: 2

    Openwall (OWL).

    Secure?
    When packaged for Owl, the software components are configured or, when necessary, modified in order to provide safe defaults, apply the least privilege principle, and introduce privilege separation. The use of safe defaults, where optional and potentially dangerous features need to be turned on explicitly, lets us audit the pieces of code used in in the default configuration in a more thorough way. Extra systems administration facilities ("owl-control") are provided for managing system features such as the optional SUID/SGID binaries independently from installing the corresponding packages. Every Owl package will have its audit status documented to allow for risk assessment.

    Appliance?
    Just the base OS - like a bootstrapped Deb. Allows packages from RHEL, CentOS and Fedora.

    I wouldn't slip like that. I'd use a different browser, without cookies enabled, specifically to do such crapflooding - were I so inclined.

    I was amused by the intersection of so many crapflood and troll memes in ONE post. Seeing the pity that this was -1 Troll, and I had no mod points, I replicated the post to elevate it with my borrowed Karma, that others with more humour than yourself might enjoy.

  14. "Jewish" media is a BOAST not an accusation on Anonymous' "OpIsrael" Has Little Impact · · Score: -1, Troll

    The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.

    As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you'd be flipping between "The 700 Club" and "Davey and Goliath" on TV all day.

    http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-stein19-2008dec19,0,4676183.column

    Let's be honest with ourselves, here, fellow Jews. We do control the media. We've got so many dudes up in the executive offices in all the big movie production companies it's almost obscene. Just about every movie or TV show, whether it be "Tropic Thunder" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm," is rife with actors, directors, and writers who are Jewish. Did you know that all eight major film studios are run by Jews? But that's not all. We also control the ads that go on those TV shows.

    How can you trust what you can never see, or even know is there?

    Thesis: Security requires trust.

    You are not trusted to know these secrets, therefore you are not secured through their application.
