It has come to the attention of the management that trolling on slashdot is
occupying a large percentage of server resources. This posting is made to
pre-empt most trolls thus saving slashdot users from having to sort through
the trolls themselves:

Light trolling is forecast for the rest of today wih a scattering of crapflooding and gratuitous insults. Further trolling is expected for the indefinite future.
Yeah right, I sometimes program for fun with no "business functions" involved at all. I like writing code for the purpose of doing something useful or creating something elegant.
There's also a specific clause in the MSDN license that basically says you are not allowed to use any information contained in the MSDN to reverse-engineering document formats to produce competing products.
This is pretty similar to the CIFS (SMB) document. It's basically incomplete and contains may errors and omissions. Windows also breaks this "standard" all the time.
ORBS suck. They blacklisted most of the IP addresses allocated to Australia incorrectly and refused to listen to reasoned arguments why this should not be so. What a bunch of assholes.
As an international visitor to CA at the moment I find that you Americans simply waste huge amounts of power in lighting, heating, and unecessary appliances left on. If people did simple things like turning off their monitors and uneeded things like televisions, heaters, air conditioners, computers then the entire country would use so much less power.
The casual consumption and careless waste that continuous goes on just boggles the mind. It isn't just limited to power. Try food, water, gas and disposable styrofoam stuff too.
The problem I think is the lack of a proper method/standard for reliable multicast. For stuff like video and audio (esp audio) it doesn't matter much if you miss a couple of packets. You just wait a bit and display the next packet you receive. For stuff like binaries you need every packet to be received correctly.
There are a couple of efforts going though. Check out the Lightweight Reliable Multicast Protocol (LRMP). You may also want to search for data fountains.
From reading the article, it sounds like Mr Abrash has a fine job at Microsoft doing exactly what really interests him, and probably getting paid buckets of cash to do it.
This leads me to speculate - I wonder if he realises that all the cool things he does are probably going to be used by Microsoft as more weapons in their ongoing dirty tricks campaign against anything non-Windows.
I think I would be very peeved if someone used my work for political ends rather than technical ones.
Maybe, but clearcase costs $$$$$$$$ and CVS is free. Oh yeah, and the Redhat version of Clearcase refused to install on my Redhat 6.1 machine as I didn't have the text "redhat" in my/etc/issue file. (-:
I'm amazed at how crappy the DOS command line interface has remained through versions 3.x up to Windows NT. No decent command line editing, or any useful shell type tools.
My favourite way of recovering a lost local admin password is to use the "Offline NT password utility". Basically it is a linux kernel on a floppy that mounts the NTFS drive read/write and allows you to create a new SAM entry for the local administrator with a password you give it. Very cool.

Don't get picky? What a stupid example. Do Ford or the Japanese car manufactures have a 97% monopoly?

Report a bug then!
A most excellent game suitable for kids of all ages!

Gee, sounds just like Microsoft.

Watch out for Samba 2.2 which should support NTFS ACLs on Linux (with bestbits patch), Solaris, HPUX and maybe a few others.
The neat thing is that this should drive the bestbits patch to be accepted into 2.4.
There's also a specific clause in the MSDN license that basically says you are not allowed to use any information contained in the MSDN to reverse-engineering document formats to produce competing products.

It would be nice if you could look at their website without being bothered by flash plugins all the time.
Sheesh.

Surely a file that can be XORed with an encrypted ROM to yield an unencrypted ROM is the intellectual property of capcom.

Has anyone else noticed the date on the DejaNews posting? It's exactly midnight on April the 7th. I wonder if it was deliberate...

Very cool.
Batch files weren't even that nice in DOS.
I'm amazed at how crappy the DOS command line interface has remained through versions 3.x up to Windows NT. No decent command line editing, or any useful shell type tools.
What a joke.
