    I really like the bit where he says 'If you want to calculate more digits, you can add more plus signs at the obvious place in the file.' Yeah, right. My head hurts.

    Considering this is the beginning of the file it seems pretty obvious unless you're blind.

  4. Re:Denial on New License Forbids Human Rights Violations? · · Score: 1

    OK, I was deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for six months supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and help SETUP and GUARD Camp X-Ray. I WAS THERE helping to move the FIRST detainees into the camp after setup was finished. Those detainees there were treated better than most of the Marines and Soldiers guarding them. Who's shelter do you think was setup first? The detainees, after a month the Marines and Soldiers guarding them were finnaly able to get some shelter besides a bare CP Tent filled with 10-12 Marines/Soldiers. FYI, the detainees no longer stay at Camp X-Ray since the new camp is finished, they have ALL been moved to Camp Radio Range.

    I just can't stand people that moan and complain about the detainees brought to Cuba but don't think about or give a damn about the Marines and Soldiers guarding them or the Marines/Soldiers/Sailors/Guardsman/Airmen supporting the entire operation.

  6. Re:I bet this "hacker" is a.... on US Busts Military Network Hacker · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You have no clue what you are talking about. Do you really think troop movements are done via unclassified networks? It's all done through AUTODIN via messaging, or through DMS, which requires a ISSUED Fortezza card to release the message. I don't think a hacked email/message coming from "Doe Col John A" saying to move "10,000 troops to Luxembourg" would be taken seriously. It was most likely some unpatched IIS servers that were servers as www.wherever.service.mil. Sure, those IIS servers should be patched, but the crap it takes to get it authorized is insane. We're still waiting to stand up a single Win2k Server (without AD). Of course, in the Navy/Marine Corps, everything IT is essentially "on-hold" for NMCI. You think this will be any better when EDS takes over the unclassified networks for 1/2 the military?

    But if you already own a GameBoy Advance it's the same price as a Rio, with the advantage that it would only require you to carry around one device to both play GBA games and MP3s/WMAs.

    Sure, you can recomment whatever you want, free speech, blah blah, just because you can doesn't mean you should should somtimes. The fact that you use terms just as Monopolyware, which in my book equates with "M$" and "winblows" does nothing to help your argument. Yes, outlook can be hacked, sure, maybe it's because it's used by the majority of users, most of who don't care about how it works or the some free software license holy war, they just want to get work done simply with what they know, and have fun on occassion. Many of the Linux email clients would also probably have exploits against them if they were used over such a wide, diverse base of users. Sure, it "can only affect your home directory" in Linux, but it's still an exploit, and how happy would a user to be have all their settings/documents/etc corrupted?

    I'm glad you use pine, good for you, and I'm not saying Windows/Outlook is any better or that you should use it, although that's what you seem to take it as with your calls of "stupidity". I am in no way trying to start a flame war, but neither do I enjoy zealots trying to tell everyone that "so and so is better" constantly and spreading their gospel, as you have absolutely no idea what that user does and what they need to acomplish with their PC, you cannot simply say that "they should run Linux" to everyone, like you do. As for your "go out and try another system for once" I will tell you that I do, and I have. I am a Solaris administrator at work for the government doing administration on classified-level material, I know about unix and security. I've used Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD extensivly, but for very specific purposes. I'm also a Network Administator of a Marine Corps network composing of Win2k/NT4 servers, and over 7000 local clients running Win2k Pro/NT4/98/95, so I'm pretty diversified, don't assume what I know and tell me to try something. But I know when to use the proper tool for the proper job, and for me sitting at home reading/posting to /. , playing games, using office, Visio, AutoCAD, etc, I know that I need Windows, and in fact I ENJOY my system at home, as it does the job very well.

    Again, this is not a flame or some kind of petty war, I just want you to realize that other users have different needs then you, you just act as if you're totally oblivious to the fact. Everything has it's use, and Windows has many uses.

    Yes, because the lawsuit he'd face afterwards would cost absolutly nothing I'm sure. You can't go destroying your employers work after you're done with the job, especially since they are paying you to do it, for a good reason, they expect a product. You certainly may not be legally required to continue supporting it, but you are breaking the law by using some type of "back door" to destroy your previous work that he now owns.

    Think of poor windoze users reading html spam with cookies or javascript popups enabled, for example. Or any of the email exploits that monopolyware has enabled. (Yeah, they should be using Linux or *BSD.

    Yeah, they really should be using Linux/BSD, because even though the system they have works perfectly fine and they enjoy using it and it's the only system that is able to do their work, they should use something else because it's much easier to hit delete in Linux than hitting the red "X" in Windows to delete an email. Please don't tell people what they should be using, they probably know their habits better than you do.

    Gabber is Linux (well it certainly doesn't run on Windows) only!

Trillian is a good peice of softare, along with everybuddy and Gabber, but stop complaing when software mentioned in a comment only works on Windows, remember, it IS the most popular OS out there, plus there ARE perfectly good alternatives (like everybuddy) out there for non-windows OS's.
