" They that can give up liberty to obtain a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
Although I find this quote fairly accurate, and as said before, one must understand that there are acceptions to this. Especially in wartime. The reason as to why security is so tight is because we don't know who the enemy is, people were shocked to find out that the terrorists were people who they conversed and lived next to many years prior to 09-11-01. However, I must agree with Chico Science and find that having your personal belongings and car checked a bit on the absurd side. What are you going to do, manage to stash potentially dangerous biological warfare materials before even reaching your car??? But at the same time, most of the U.S. should realize that this is to a certain point, hysteria. Washington D.C. was not invaded since the War of 1812, and we have never been attacked by other nations with such a high loss of civilian life in our nation's history. These certainly would grant a certain level of humiliation, and anger that we don't want to see repeated. But still, we need to keep this panic in check, for fear it may go to far, and Franklin's quote will prove its point.
Yep, there was. If I remember, Oliver created that thing to make the South African Ambassador black because of Apartheid. His dad wouldn't let him, so he tried getting Cutter John to fly up in his wheelchair with balloons to do it. It didn't work, and he crashed into the Atlantic. Opus was also dragged along for the ride, and it ended up having a long sequence with him having amnesia.
Well...if I remember what I read a few days ago (I think on deadly.org), Darren pointed out that this whole fiasco is the result of the OpenBSD people make demands and threats. If I'm wrong, well, someone correct me. -----
Um...okay, that's wonderful. Please stop posting "BSD is dying." So what if it is? Was that why was Linux created for? To be a marketed OS? No, as far as I'm aware it was originally created as a class project by Linus! And a lot of the people who worked/are working on Linux, are doing it because they want to. It's the same idea with BSDs, these are free projects, they're doing this because they want to have fun. If BSD dies, it's a loss to all. It may also fortell what may or may not happen to Linux in the future. -----

Review: Pearl Harbor

· Score: 1
Also remember the invasion of the Aleutian Islands on June 3, 1942. Which was more an attempt by the Japanese to prevent the Americans from using it as a base to attack Japan. Although, the entire campaign was pretty hopeless...(i.e. more planes were lost to the weather than enemy gunfire) and the only major battle was that of the Battle of Attu. -----
I had a very bizzare (and quite frankly stupid) incident last year (I was a Freshman) in high school. My Biology teacher, who (Although, I've heard he's quite nice in Summer School...) will always be remembered as a complete jerk in my eyes. I mean, as with most high school, CD Players are banned right? Well, some guy took it out because he was getting something out of his backpack, and he confiscated it saying "Your not supposed to have this..." But I'm wandering...
Anyway, we had a assignment where we had to print out a web page or something. Anyway...the laptop was set to "Microsoft Fax," you know the default Windows 95 (Yes, my school last year was, and still is running Windows 95) setting. Now, I just set the printer to the correct one and printed. The following day however, someone else (Who had shrunk down a window cause he was playing a game) and I were called into the Dean's office because for some reason the laptops wouldn't print, and he decided to blame us. To this day, I have no idea what happened to the laptops and I probably have a note on my records thanks to his cluelessness. Oh yeah, he also blamed me after a group presentation for people being unable to login to the Novell server. I'm also pretty clueless to that.
BTW, the librarians at our school consider hacking...changing the wallpaper via Netscape's "Set as wallpaper" option. -----
I hope you are able to answer these questions (if they get to you).
1. I'm still learning C but I would like to know if you have any advice on learning how to program drivers for OpenBSD...(I have a Vortex 2 Sound Card that I'm hoping to see if I can port once I have a good ability to write in C).
2. I understand that someone has (to some extent) ported GNOME to OpenBSD, is there a plan to have it in the collection anytime soon?
3. How do you feel about 5 years of OpenBSD?
4. And if you don't mind me asking, what's your favorite OpenBSD artwork?
Actually there is FreeBSD Inc. So, I think the validness of that statement is gone. I know the site says "Copyright The FreeBSD Project," but look at the FreeBSD Copyright... -----
Yes, Theo de Raadt has a reputation for being rather antisocial online, look up the FreeBSD mailing lists archives if you want to. But, in person I'm sure he can/could be a pretty nice guy, I have no proof, but how many of us have actually met Theo de Raadt? Anyway, despite his behavior online, his contributions to NetBSD in the past, and OpenBSD now, have shown that he is a wonderful hacker.
Oh, and one last thing, come on, stop writing these posts about Theo being a jerk. Someone always brings this up every time there's a post that barely has anything to do with Theo. Let him be, I think he really doesn't deserve all these insults and attacks, and after all he probably reads/. too... -----
This is a wonderful idea for people who don't have access to a UNIX machine to learn! It is also a wonderful idea for people to simply have fun. You know, maybe work have it as an online community. It is pretty sad, however that people have been, constantly rebooting the system, halting it, and someone even messed up the password databases. For goodness sakes, let people use it without destroying it! -----
I find it sad that domain names can go from being freely registered to being regulated to the point of even restricting certain words in a domain name. What is this? What's next?
If the Internet was once a place people looked to for freedom of speech, I think that compainies such as Network Solution and "register.com" along with government intervention are slowly, but surely ending that. -----
This election just keeps getting stranger, the networks have retracted the statement that Bush has won the election and Florida is doing a recount in accordance with state law. It's still anyone's game.
There is the idea that the server might be down...or at least a part of it anyway.
This is what happens when you attempt to read any issue of Phrack in the archives...
