I demonstraited this to a local news channel once a few years ago, they were doing a report on how kids can be attacked by perverts on the internet. I logged into IRC and used the nick blueyes I set "her" name to Christina koleman and she was blasted by all sorts of freaks looking to invite her into a private channel. Some were young idiots asking her for sex others seemed to be charming old farts who were attempting to will her into talking with them about herself. Eventually I stopped when the messages reached 20. The news reporters were upset that they hadnt filmed it.
I have noticed that the MS digital nervous system servers are off this morning, probably because they dont want a spinal tap and a hit of acid from a little lady called melissa. So what good is a digitial nervous system (implemented with M$) if you can screw it up with a macro virus? I think windows is too trusting for critical operations.
I often find that people hate what appears to be challenging. *WE* know windows is not challenging so it must have some real issues. I have used both oses extensively and prefer unix because its more powerful. It might be harder to use but hey I am not afraid to learn, are you? Then let microsoft do all the work so you can go on drooling and clicking your mouse button.

If you cant figure out whats wrong with the syntax of "dev/hda1", you need to get a guru to help you. If he doesnt know he isnt a guru. I got tired of needing a CDROM all the time, so I did this 1 single speed cdrom, 1 8port hub. nics all around. LAN in my house where I do ftp installs with redhat with out a hitch. Redhat 5.2 comes with PCMCIA support and redhat 5.0 does for that matter too. Both of them found my 3com etherlink III pcmcia card in my notebook with out a problem. Installation was a breeze, then again I have lost count of installations I have done.
You cant be a newbie and install an OS that didnt have the hardware designed for it. Microsoft is an easy install because *ALL* PC hardware vendors support them. Linux you have to know what hardware is supported and only purchase that hardware. It bothers me that these "tech writers" attempt installations of linux, they dont know anything about the OS, there hardware, or hardware in general then do a bad write up about it. There is also an IBM laptop -> linux faq out there also that shows you how to get the sound working/cdrom (atleast for the 380). IBM's pcmcia nics are supported as well. Its not that hard people. Just make sure you have supported hardware, or complain to your hardware vendors if they dont support it.
Why would you automate a nuclear system? I cant see the designers trusting an AND gate to determine the history of their families. I know if I designed a Nuclear missle system there would be a few keys that you would have to turn to initiate the launch. Not
if (Radar_Blip) { launch(); exit(1); } else work_on_rc5des();
If you dont have to set the year on it when the power goes out. It doesnt have a y2k bug. Your microwave will work, your toaster and your car. Your computer will work too, it will have the wrong date if its not y2k compliant. Your system is not going to shut off because the date rolled over. Some software might not work because your software license expired but then again you should use GNU stuff anyway =)
They just had a post on bugtraq about inetd doing this. Its easy to fix, just put an alarm() in the source code if the client doesnt answer in 60 seconds.
bet you I can fix this faster on my linux box with sources then my NT box without..
has anyone tested the 2.2 kernel for linux sparc? Last time It wouldnt compile because of some syntax problems.
The love of my heart.

Uh what version of OS/2 is that? I had 4.0 warp on a P133 with 32megs of ram and it was _DOG_ slow. I would walk away while it booted take a leak get coffee and it still wasnt done when I got back. I could get linux booted in under 30 seconds on the same box. And if I opened a few apps and mail tools I ran out of memory and the 32 megs of swap I had.
I have done y2k consulting for banks and powercompanies. They arent ignoring it. The only thing that is going to cause problems for y2k is panic the media is creating. This is the digital age and everyone is affected by a computer system somehow its those that dont understand and rely on the media for technical information that will panic and cause problems. I had a woman ask me about her appliances, I told her did you have to set the date on your washing machine last time you lost power? no? then dont worry. Computers will not crash, they will show an incorrect date which will foul up programs that rely on the YEAR for computations. Thats all people. There is no line of code that says:
if (year_current(yy) - year_previous(xx) 0) over_heat_reactor_core(TRUE);
They should work on compact 640x480 LCD displays and portable PC power supplies. People could start building Handheld/wearable PC's at home. We have the matchbox sized motherboards... Just need to shrink other components.

That was very funny. Thanks.

I needed this laugh today.. Thank you.

Microsoft is going to go down in a big burning ball of fire. It is pretty sad in a way, but they brought it on themselves.
