Anyone interested in the software mentioned above, or even just general UNIX security, would do good do take a gander at OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org). It's based on 4.4 BSD, like most of the Freenixes, and is designed with security foremost in mind. Think of it as FreeBSD after reading "1984".;-)
It comes with OpenSSH. And Kerberos.
Ooh, and also... stickers! Put them on your box, and maybe the MiBs that break into your house while you're at work won't even bother trying to crack yer system.
Remember: paranoia is good. Anyone with doubts regarding the truth of that statement should check out the Echelon links that have been appearing here lately.
I think that the cat is sort of dumb (The UF cat, not the BSD one!). Perhaps Illiad a bit distracted about going to CeBIT? Or maybe his creative juices are running low after the kick-ass "Pitr the Borg vs. Crud Puppy" arc.
Hmmm, what should Pitr's "Borg name" be? I'm wagering on "vi of IX". (Emacs users, just ignore that.);-)
just so the people know that i didn't make it up, tell them they have to shave their genitalia to get into heaven!
Thanks for writing. As many of you know, I've been in heaven for about the last 1970 years, and I've got blue balls the size of Idaho. Dad sort of looks down upon fornication in his kingdom, so I'm pretty screwed (not literally; I wish!) whenever I want to lay down with a Heavenly body.
(Sure, I could mosey down to Hell for some hot anal sex, but Dad gets all bitchy about that too. "Just don't bother coming home at all!" Fuck you, asshole! Some of us were born with balls! If you didn't want me to have desires of the flesh, you shouldn't have made me half human!)
So anyway, it's been 2000 years, and I'm ready to FUCK! When the doors My kingdom (okay, it's Dad's kingdom, but I'm paying rent, dammit!) open, you're crazy if you think you're getting in without giving Jesus a little nookie! That's right, spread your legs and prepare for the Savior's coming! (Pun intended! Ha!)
The flipside is that as much as pedophiliac homosexuality has been associated with My church, I'm not gay. So all you guys out there, if you want to get in to Dad's kingdom, (and frankly I couldn't care either way!), you'd better be prepared to do some sick stuff to make me laugh. So yes, if you shave your nuts, that'll probably get you in.
Man, know what pisses me off? The lack of left-handed penises. Yeah, I know that none of you knew that Jesus was left handed, but I am, dammit, and it's a damn shame that I can't masturbate as well as everyone else because of My horrible luck. Heck, if My penis curved to the right than maybe I could fake it, but I don't even get that! Fuck!
And ya know what the kicker is? I probably could've convinced Dad to give Me a lefty penis back when I came returned to life. Hell, I died! I was born again! Why shouldn't I get a new penis? But I was too busy thinking of philosophical things to say to be thinking about My penis. Fuck, the one time two thousand years that I'm NOT thinking about My penis, and I miss My chance! Fuck!
Oh well. I'll go turn some water into wine and get piss drunk.
Can you imagine using "three finger technique" in this new layout, without modifying your hand!
While I do admit that the layout look sort of fruity, I don't think it would affect my fragging technique much. Whether using the arrow keys or the WASD keys, my technique is the same: middle finger on "up", index finger on "right", ring finger on "left", and - this is where it varies from some people's - thumb on "down". I've gotten some weird looks because of how the thumb has to go under the index finger to do this, but I find it works best. I use my pinky to hit accessory keys, like tab for showing scores, shift for walking (as opposed to running), and control for crouch, and tilde for console. I've used this with Quake 2, Half-Life, and Q3A.
Obviously the right hand is on the mouse. I use an Intellimouse, and the wheel is mapped to switch weapons.
My layout allows my to have faster reactions (IMHO) because my three fingers and thumb never leave those movement keys (except when I hit the spacebar with my thumb to jump).
This having been said... and I know the Vi people will love this... I think that a "four in a row" layout is much more comfortable. I've been thinking of trying to deathmatch with ASDF, analogous to Vi's HJKL.
Finally, performing wrist strengthening exercises can help tremendously (a previous poster suggested Aikido).
I find vigorous mastubatiom, performed as often as possible, is also quite helpful. About three months ago I cut back on manual masturbation after I cut a hole in my desk, which I would line with a high-grade lubricant and "hump", so I could use both hands to scroll through porn sites. After two weeks of this, not only did I have splinters in the shaft of my penis ("wood in the woody"), but I was afflicted with a crippling pain in my hands and fingers.
Needless to say, I returned to my previous masturbatory habits, and the problem has completely disappeared. I make sure to masturbate at least fifteen minutes for every hour I spend coding, (or was it the other way around?).
This brings up another problem: jizz in the keyboard. Having to hit a key multiple times because it "sticks", due to semen spilled into the keyboard, can add millions of keystrokes to your workload per year, if you "stroke" and blow your work-"load" as much as I do. I am currently designing a "splash guard" desk attatchment, similar to the "sneeze guards" employed at salad bars, to keep my mayo off the counter.

It's not complete, and it's not meant to be.
Maybe this will help make it more so: homepages for some of the software you discuss.

I think the name Script Kitty is funnier...
It is, but Illiad wasn't the first to think of it. Check out the Script Kittie on the OpenBSD 2.6 cover art. He isn't explicitly called that on the cover, but that's what he's called on the t-shirt page.
I think that the cat is sort of dumb (The UF cat, not the BSD one!). Perhaps Illiad a bit distracted about going to CeBIT? Or maybe his creative juices are running low after the kick-ass "Pitr the Borg vs. Crud Puppy" arc.

Yes, it's official. Jesus uses vi.

Does it leave duracells around as little presents?
LOL!!
