    this leads to unobfuscated code, though..

    to
    if(x > 10)
    {
    //set x equal to
    //zero
    //i.e. 1 - 1 + 2 - 4 + 1 +3
    x = 0;
    }
    else

    i reply to some spam, just to piss the guy off. procmail puts it in the folder called `/dev/null`, anyway, so i never see his reply. too bad for him!

  7. Evil Jon on Skirting AOL Checksumming -- Legally? · · Score: 1

    Yeah... I hacked sendmail and now my mail relay `modifies` messages from AOL servers. Better than blocking them if theyre gonna suck MY bandwidth.

  13. Trying too hard... on Following April Fool's Day Around The World? · · Score: 1

    I was in IRC on Sunday morning, and decided it would be a good idea to post an April Fools to iMacLinux.net. Well, there was one there, and it was sooooooooo obvious, so i replied to it and gave it away. The news item has since been removed. LOL!! I`m an admin, too... always watch out for your own kind...

    And dontcha love the MS CDs? Don`t make illegal copies of this Disc. Oooohh. That`s gonna stop me, Mister Big Microsoft Scary Guy.

    Anyway, piracy is the norm at my school (IMSA, see my link), and I love copying CDs...except I exclusively use Linux/PPC (Debian!), so I have nothing to illegally copy. Except MP3s. I mean...I copy nothing. Not a thing...

  20. Re:Why Closed protocols suck on AOL Blocking Open Source IM Clones ... Again · · Score: 1

    How about we open-sourcers just tell AOL that they can`t use our stuff. Like sendmail, BIND, apache, etc.. Hmm.. turn about IS fair play.

    Too bad we couldn`t enforce it...

  21. Re:Wow! on Red Hat Breaks Even, Beats Street Estimate · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the thing is, THEY DIDN`T LOSE MONEY. That`s a big deal. It`s a hell of a lot easier to lose money than to make it. And breaking even is a comfortable average (literally...). If they lose money, lose less money, and break even, the next logical step is to MAKE MONEY. They`re on the right track, man.

  25. Re:This is a very good tool on Microcoolers Could Change Processor Design · · Score: 1

    However, 7 degrees difference at 100 degrees really doesn't seem all that much now. Hopefully there will be future advances to cool the chips even further.

    Hey, that`s 7%, man...
    Anyway...but what about PowerPC type chips? I think my G3/233 runs at about 47C? (Right now, according to /proc/cpuinfo, it`s frozen at 0 C. I doubt it...) And 7C would make a difference, 14%, actually. And there`s no CPU fan. SO, we CAN use these things for something, right...?
