  1. Why we blame M$ on Remote 'Root' Exploit in IIS 5.0 · · Score: 3
    Nobody really considers Apache insecure, even if a major flaw was found in it. Why? Because flaws of this level are rare in Apache. M$, however, has fallen victim to 2 things. The first is that they push out a lot of bugs and sometimes break things with patches rather than fix them. The second is EVERYBODY hears about it when they have a bug. Even your grandmother.

    You only come down really hard on the kid that is always in trouble...

    The point is that a REAL /. user gets good karma because he contributes, but loses points because he doesn't care and speaks his/her mind. Guess you're an over-achiever :)

  3. Lan Partys in SA on Slashback: Profits, Marks, Secsh · · Score: 3
    SATLUG (guess what it stands for) has parties too. In fact, I kinda put the latest one together. Anyhow, we're one of two organizations that puts on parties in the city. Here's what we do for those of you who'd like to try your own, but don't know how:
    • We get some poor schmuck to volunteer his house (thanks Bruce!), and then crash it for the party. This person ideally has a cable/DSL modem or better and more than one room (unlike Matt's place...)
    • Every other good geek has something to network machines together, and since Cisco is our sponser, we get some really good stuff. Basically, we figure out what's needed, and then that too is "volunteered."
    • Everyone brings what they can for food & drink (pizza and soda), and whoever is the most desperate goes and gets the food.
    We do everything from just plain messing with the network we put together to playing games. And since we're Linux nuts, we try out the latest distros (Hope Mandrake 8 stable is better than beta1, 'cause I sure got fscked!). For details, e-mail me. If you're in the San Antonio area, check out the website @ (come on, take a guess) satlug.org.

    "don't fuck up. This is why we have... James M... say fuck enough... all the algo is pure shit and should be replaced (From tcp in IPv4 - makes you feel good, eh?)." The whole IP NAT for FTP thing is "eloquent like `fuck'." The irnet_irda module is made to "Give a kick in the ass of ppp_generic so that he sends us some data".

    The people who put together te setup code for the i386 arch were curious to know "What lunatic came up with this shit?" The IA64 arch includes some "weird ass code needed for error injection". MIPS/cobalt setup is referred to as "Oh shit, this is so crappy ..."

    SysIRIX has "2,191 lines of complete and utter shit coming up..." There's more of that for MIPS, though - "Big shit, we now may have two dirty primary cache lines for the same..." I don't even want to hear the end of that! In fact the MIPS/Irix people seem as if they just "Don't Care, a rats ass we couldn't give". That same file includes 10 iterations of "XXX AFS shit".

    HyperSPARC has is "Verified, my ass..." The developer for a SPARC checksum code wants to merely "give up. I'm serious, I am going to kick the living shit..." The SPARC kernel process claims that somebody should "fuck me plenty". I agree :) At least they think SPARC64 is "One bad ass cpu". Then again "are two fold. Firstly, they cannot pair with jack shit,".

    Everyone should "Remember: "Different name, same old buggy as shit hardware." Speaking of which, one of the SCSI drivers contains to lines of "shit". "... We don't want to fuck directly..." So we'll do it second-hand!

    ASM has so much "More PROM shit. Probably has to do with VME RMW cycles???" They've been having to "having to fuck around with the syscall interface themselfes." Ultimately, everyone agrees that "If you don't see why, please stay the fuck away from my code."

    Running for office is no longer about trying to change things for the better - it's about recieving payoff to vote for something. That's the problem, pure and simple. The Baby Bells have cash, and know which pockets to stick it into. So long as people of public office are allowed to recieve money to vote (campaign donations), then big companies will be able to pay them however they want. Sure, that's technicallly illegal, but campaign money is pretty much gotten this way.

    Got to love America man. It's the only country I know of where everyone believes that they have this right to regulate what other people can do in their private lives. And it's the only country I know of that let's you sue people for doing something incredibly trivial, or for using public specs.

    You have zero right to go to Yahoo and purchase pornography. Nobody had ANY right to post OT III, a copyrighted document, to Slashdot's site. Bull. You've got every right if it's available. And as for OT III, it's out there, period. Perhaps I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the document is available to anyone interested in potentially joining the 'Church' of Scientology - which is, by the way, crap. I can understand Christianity and Jewdaism (hope is spelled that right) as they have some history or at least a claim to it for those who don't believe in it. But 'worshipping' crap somebody made up isn't really a religion. Heck, the whole Scientology thing sounds like the the story line from StarCraft.

    I'm not protesting Yahoo!'s decision, I'm protesting the morons that think they have some right to control people's private lives. Ant last of all, consider that it's legal to have sex at any age, but illegal to see pictures of it until you're at least 18. Stupid, isn't it?

    Sorry to post twice like this, but here is an excellent quote:

    Here it is: bullshit. They just let you use their sticker to say you actually HAVE a privacy policy. It's misleading and (honestly) used by companies to lure people into the whole false sense of security thing. TRUSTe has never actually reviewed privacy policies...

    And blah, blah, blah. I'm pretty damned sure that you can update the kernel in *BSD without changing everything. And that is the most of the difference. And the rest? Turn off/remove the daemons, and add games and word processors. Voici au voila (take your pick), you've got your desktop OS. And hence, being a desktop is completely different from whether or not you're using the kernel of FreeBSD (or Net, or Open). You've changed the distro, but kept the kernel.

    And you sir, are also trolling. That is defined as many things - from goatse.cx links to FPs to just trying to prove me wrong without it being relevent. What you say is true, but ultimately irrelevant. He's made the thing usable as a desktop, and that's it. Just because it may be intended otherwise doesn't mean it can't be. If you disagree, say so. Otherwise, let's just end this...
