    Now, few hours later, I must apologize you about that line.
    Now that I read your original message again, I don't actually see why I got biased against you so terribly.

    Anyway, I can't evaluate your position because I have no idea where are you trying to get a job or what is the situation over there.

    I wish you good luck in the job hunt.

    If you can't get a job, I would try to find the reason from something else than your education and experience, which seems to be reasonable good.
    How about nicer additude and respect for individual, other than yourself?

    You sound like an arrogant prick.

    And my obsolote motherboard or CPU will help them live another day?

    I have no intention to give my money to anyone for free. I can, however, give away my obsolete motherboard or CPU which I couldn't sell for a price that would justify the hassle of auctioning/whatever it.

  11. Re:cvs as root? on Remote Root Exploit in CVS · · Score: 1, Troll

    Indeed. I'm a Lunix newbie, and I have set-up only one CVS server that is public (not NAT:d).
    Yet I was cluefull enough to run it in it's very own sand box.

    I can't imagine this exploit is a terrible problem.

  12. Re:Google Cache on Peephole Displays · · Score: 1

    Kinda offtopic but...

    If the server software is using the plain-old-style serving individuals, it starts a new thread for each user (or even a separate process).
    So the server might be having difficulties with CPU or MEM overload while it still able to serve the already initialized threads over huge pipe. Sending the data isn't quite so bad as starting a new thread on heavily loaded server.

    Is someone is interested, here's a link to a example of a 'select' implementation of server software:
    http://www.lowtek.com/sockets/select.ht ml

    I have't personally toyed around these enough to say if another is superior to other, but i would imagine, serving huge amounts of individual connections would be better with select.

    (Now that I look at the code, i see that this might be suspect for a tar-pit attack (keeping connection live from other end but acting at the bounds of keeping it alive). Not too sure thou. Pretty drunk already and i might be imagining stuff :P)

    The original source even says it cannot run.
    It was the hairbrained TheInquirer article writer who somehow got the impression that it was still running.

    By reading the horde of nested articles, I got the impression that the machine hasn't run in decades, and probably would not if powered.



    Correct me if I'm wrong. But please quote a piece that says it is actually running now.

    Oh for the love of GOD!
    There just has to be atleast one of these hippocrit think-of-the-children-buy-them-houses-and-rice-the y-will-be-happy-for-a-century-with-that-money-post s per article.
    Blow your own money what ever charity you please, but let the investors/goverment use their money on usefull and meaningfull projects for those who pay them. I don't give a shit about that starving kid 10 000km's away. There is no such money in world that would compensate the greed of individuals or in-balancies of the globe. Just live with the fact that you are one of the "better" folks.

    If you can't accept that, move to where-ever and starve yourself, this way you are not using the valuable resources of your new friends there.

    And if you bothered to even check out what the article was about, in a long term this will affect the living efficiency, building efficiency, and will probably yield new, more efficient materials.

  21. Re:My radio... on Location-based Security for Wireless Apps · · Score: 2, Funny

    This reminds me of a company my friend used to work for. the companys main product was (is?) wireless hardware for net-access. His supervisor didn't always think everything throught.
    Best example was once he stormed into the server room which was in middle of re-arragment and tripped on one ethernet cable that was laying near the doorway. The boss promptly proceeded to yank the cable out of the machine it was attached to, screaming: "What the f*ck is this!?! We are supposed to be WIRELESS!!".

    Friend promised: "I will explain you as fast as you plug that back in, I believe few hundred of our customers don't want to wait till I explain to you exactly what that wire is for..."

    A lot of us have been saying that Free Software will gain traction in the third world because anything else is unaffordable.

    Hmm.. Now that I think of it.
    OSS developers should get some kind of tax-relief for their work. They are supporting third world countries in a great way.

    Atleast as I have understood this, there are tax reliefs for charity donations in many countries.
