  1. Re:Pray Or Meditate Or Whatever For President Bush on Handling the Loads · · Score: 1

    I don't think now's the time to worry about hating our President. Just follow him, unless he does something stupid. What really makes me angry are the Palistinian children laughing about this event. Wtf? They like watching innocent people die? A nice nuke would wipe that smirk off their face... but I wouldn't cheer, killing people is bad. On another note, a prayer is a good idea, but true Christians would ask for the forgiveness of the terrorists. Oh well.

    What's wrong with threatining the President? If that's your opinion, then by God, say it. The beauty of free speech is that the good ideas get taken up upon, the bad ideas go away. If it's a good idea to kill the President, then it will happen. If it's not, it won't.

  3. Re:Playing with fire... on Handling the Loads · · Score: 1

    It's sad that we don't have truly free speech anymore. What has this world come to? If I want to joke about bombs, killing, and presidents, then by God, let me! It's killing the President that should be illegal, not talking about it.

    To quote my roommate: "They're not the god damn thought police." My setiments exactly.

    Ya know what's scarry is I can get all my work done in emacs. Between text-mode, latex-mode, mail-mode and matrix-mode, it does everything (not to mention c++-mode, c-mode, and perl-mode for the important things). Oh yeah, and calc-mode. *smile* I love GNU/Emacs ;)

    Don't these dorms have private bathrooms in their rooms?

    We've got private bathrooms at IMSA, but we're a high school. Still though, I would not be too happy sharing a bathroom with my wing-mates :)

    They do make ppc mobo's, they're just very expensive. I think "they" (lazy, yes) just sell plans for the PCB layout. You make PCB's then add the chips.

    The machine is out on the internet, and you can offer any request you want. If e-mail is so sacred, the servers should prevent you from looking at other people's mails. Not the request

    Could you imagine what it would be like to check your logs and see "missile-launcher3832.navy.mil". Then telnet to the thing and get a shell prompt? Reminds me of an REM song called "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)".

    Then again, a java program that prints "Hello, World!" uses 100% CPU on my machine (G3/233, Debian/PPC). C++ doesn't have this problem.

    Heh. Just the other day I was trying to read a pdf (for encoding AC-3 ;) in xpdf, when it gave me some garbage about how it's illegal for it to decrypt PDF's! What the hell is the point of encrypting public PDF's? And what's wrong with breaking the encryption?

    > Most people DONT chose to install it. It comes piggybacked with other programs. Well isn't that too fucking bad! Maybe they shouldn't use the other software then. After everyone stops using iMesh or whatever because they don't like the adware, then iMesh will stop bundling it. It's like this line in the GPL: "This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE." They chose to install it, they get whatever goodies comes with it. Maybe some people like it? Let them decide!! > It is also extremely difficult to uninstall (for the non-technical anyways) It's also "extremely difficult" to install Debian if you are an AOLamer. So that's why they don't use Debian!!

    Until someone breaks their encryption. Or pipes the Audio Out to the Audio In on their soundcard (use TOS-Link or whatever the optical thing is... great quality!). Oops, RIAA. Fuck you.

  25. Re:huge cable modem hits on Code Red II: Shells for the Taking · · Score: 1
    It's from the Code Red randomly guessing IP's. Every time the arp-cache sees an IP it doesn't know, it has to ask. So when Code Red starts spitting random IP's out, an arp how-has comes out. See example:
    Worm:
    1.1.1.1:80 --> GET /default.ida?[snip]
    1.1.1.2:80 --> GET /default.ida?[snip]
    1.1.1.3:80 --> GET /default.ida?[snip]
    1.1.1.4:80 --> GET /default.ida?[snip]

    Router
    1.1.1.255 --> arp who-has 1.1.1.1
    1.1.1.255 --> arp who-has 1.1.1.2
    1.1.1.255 --> arp who-has 1.1.1.3
    1.1.1.255 --> arp who-has 1.1.1.4

    Or something like that...
