    Just boot with knoppix, or some other bootable linux on a cd and do something like:
    dd if=/dev/hda |gzip -9 |ssh -l someuser somemachine.com "dd of=stolendrivebackup.gz"


    Because we know that the thief was a linux user who carries a copy of knoppix in their back pocket.

    And you can't cancel (change) your fingerprint if someone finds out what it is.

    And you can't stop the production of gummy bears

    I could probably travel the world on a single package of gummy bears and a set of prints lifted from the sides of soda cans, tossed in the trash outside the convenience store.

    Just remember though, outlaw gummy bears, and only outlaws will have gummy bears.

    While I can't say anything for using C with strings, the real number crunchers of the world agree that God's language is the only appropriate one, fortran.

    No joke. Device drivers should be written in Fortran. Because if there was any bug in the program, the device driver would never ever work in the first place. Not even partially.

    I think we have solved the problem here folks. Just remember you saw it here first on slashdot.

    Another idea - need to open source you program, but really don't want to - use Cobol.

    And here I always thought that bad things were only done by people who go home at night, polish their monocles, and cackle gleefully at their own evil while murdering cats.

    They would never kill any cats. They would just throw them in a box with some poison.

    You can't say that the cats are dead, because they aren't. Trust me. Just doen't open the box.
