Wank wank wank.
You Star Trek fans are something else. Paint a fantasy world where untiy is forged through fascism and you all run out of tissue.
And why is that you smug, faux-scientist athiests are always searching for god? Roddenberry is the apparent messiah. Oops. No. He's an entertainer. And he made the "Wagon Train of the Stars" at a time when westerns were very popular on TV.
I don't even know what to say about the new versions of Star Trek. I find their themes so disgusting, their social interactions so regressive although they seek to appear progressive (a utility of fascism? I think so). And this one, they obviously don't even know what to be. I can see the producers debating over what you stunted adults want. They want porn. They want to see hot chicks in pajama-like uniforms. It's the closest these dweebs get to sexual contact. It reminds them of fantasies about their sister, things unsaid over Honey Combs.
Why don't you wankers join the real world!!!! Star Trek sucks and has sucked in all its new renditions. Total and complete suckups to our empty corporate culture. Life aint so bad because there's a hotty two cubicles who you never have the chance to hump since you are so self-indulgent that you never grew up. Grow up. Get over this shit. And take some night courses in Liberal Arts that actual ask you to use your brains as you attempt to understand the world around you. Computers, TV, electronic toys aren't going to do it for you.
would find this interesting. it's not the BIOS that is cramping your style, it's LILO.
I use Linux and I use FreeBSD. The FreeBSD boot loader rules. And, err, it's not the lack of journaling that makes ext2 suck. UFS is not journaled and yet does not ask you to wait as long as ext2 on a sloppy reboot.
Geez. You should stop jacking off and go to college. Your words almost sound important.
Now why is it that people around here can come to sweeping conclusions without properly supporting them? Oh, because most people here are idiots!
Insightful? My ass. You moderators need to stop sticking carrots up your asses before going to work. Oh, that's right, most of you don't work because it is not legal in your state at your age.
I can't fucking stand it anymore. This site is so dumb it has become a novelty for me. It's funny to watch you dicks jerk it in front of each other. Why don't you just break out into a big orgy instead of building up the tension ad nauseam? You know, like those dumb sitcoms, the sexual tension building can only last so long? Then, when the main characters finally fuck, the show can finally end the way it should have years before.
Will/. ever consider a corrections section on the site? Well, the whole damn site would have to be devoted to it.
What the hell was up with that lame thread about Cod Red "aftermath?" The script that was linked was riddled with bugs. The worst of which was that it shutdown IIS, then made another outrageously clever attempt to connect to port 80 again to, be still my hacker pretender heart, shut down the server itself. Duh. And not one person brought this up.
So many of you slashbags are full of hot air and apparently have no skills to speak of. I mean other than blowing air across your teeth or typing out drool with cum-stained fingers.

I think it would be a good thing if they changed their name in the long run. As it is, they are followers by design. It might even be obnoxious if the OpenSSH people decided to start implementing their own standards and moving away from SSH Comminuications. And perhaps this is the major concern of the latter company.
If they have their own name, and even call it a new protocol, they can bring it down whichever path is best.
Also, can we try to have reasonable discussions around here. I swear this site gets worse every time I arrive. And it's not the operators who cause this, it's the knee-jerk, immature crowd. When arguing in this medium, only words can make you 10 feet tall. So many people around here act 10 feet tall, yet their words are UTTERLY worthless!
And isn't it unfortunate that a bunch of half-assed implementations have caused confusion as far as ksh goes? Kinda makes you wonder if the ksh folks should have done more to protect it's identity. What we might have gained is a clear sense of what ksh can and should do.
Do we quote just to look smart and rational or to illustrate a point other than that I'm a bad guy.
My suggestion that Seti@home is a search for god is perhaps a bit too philosophical for you. Let me explain.
For many, faith is assurance that the hell that is their life will not be an eternity. It embodies hope in the face of hopelessness. It is the greater purpose to match that horrible feeling of smallness and powerlessness. It suggests that their efforts in faith will endure for their children after they are gone. That is the believer's search for god.
For others it is a routine that helps them feel superior to others. They make no contribution, no real effort. They just partake and think that's enough.
The search for extraterrestrial life is the search for another place like home, but perhaps better. A more advanced, evolved human-like creature is often imagined. It gives meaning to drudgery of every day life. We technology folks are not just going through the motions, we are part of something colossal, like having an active hand the evolution of man. This is the athiest/agnostic science worshiper's search for, err, god (by a different name).
For others it is a routine that helps them feel superior to others. They make no contribution, no real effort. They just partake and think that's enough.
Or maybe I missed something. Maybe it is REALLY REALLY important that we find that we are not alone. Oh, because we'll solve our fossil fuel dependence.
Or maybe this IS about our definition of ourselves and how we fit into a grander scheme. And maybe grander scheme DOES mean grander scheme no matter how you go about searching for it.
Nah. You're right. Or rather, I could say you were right, IF YOU EVER MADE A POINT.
Oh, my imagination gland hurts. I need to rest.
Sounding smart and being smart are not the same, dude.

Err, you don't have to be so marvelously aware as yourself when you have never run it on Windows or similar graphic-oriented OSes. Regardless, on a hearty FreeBSD box, I have watched it grab all it can. And yes, it can be 'niced' but 'nicing' does not bring you any closer to idle than non-niced. And idle resources will become available sooner than 'niced' resources.
wow, what a waste of good ascii letters. Im so upset, you spent 1 minute writing that, when you could have been sniffing for your users' pR0n passwords to whack off too.
Who's wasting ascii? At least I made a point with my ascii.
Oh, and that's to, not too. See 'The Elements of Style' for a clue on how to make a point and how to use the English language properly.
My interpretation: you don't like what I wrote, you are upset by what I wrote (don't know why), you think I wasted time, you think I'm a script kiddie (supported by?), you think I whack off (a safe bet, I suppose), you are a smarty pants about this Seti app and think I don't know that graphics are CPU expensive (err, your assumptions allow me to assume you are overgooeyed, Windows more than likely), you think text only ppl is a political cause of which you are the O.G. champion, you are proud that you like Seti (unexplained), and you make obscure sarcastic remarks just to exercise your sarcasm glands even if they are non-sensible.
I think it's funny how the posts here in response to this message overwhelmingly parrot the original post. If the story was about the Harris jerks going after the spam vigilantes everyone would be bashing Harris.
We need to distinguish between the act of shutting off port 25 to spammers and shutting off IPs at the router (BGP). I realize that the author of this original post has done this (sorta), but many who have posted have not made this distinction.
First, let me tell you where I stand. I am in favor of shutting off port 25 to spammers. I am more apt to question the termination of all traffic to and from a spammer network. I uderstand that it still uses some resources to be hit by the spammer regardless of whether or not it's filtered. But I think RBL should stay in focus. Ultimately, I think ISPs should reconsider their use of router level RBL filtering. I don't know for sure, but I doubt many do this anyway. (ISPs like control and why give this control to RBL? I don't think many would.)
If, as some have claimed, the author of this original post has exaggerated the impact of MAPS filtering in the described situations, I think he has invalidated his entire story. I think it is suspect that in the original draft he did not attempt to make it clear (to the unitiated and often knee-jerky audience) that getting on the RBL, probably 99% of the time, means that MAIL is being blocked and NOTHING ELSE. Not web traffic, not anything but MAIL. He attempted to answer this in his followup but ended his follow-up with the bias of a peacefire report. His followup stunk, to be honest. Also he made what I can only guess is an unsupportable claim that Above.net changed its implementation of RBL since he brought it to light (=delusions of grandeur). I'm sorry but "What it does do is punish the folks at MarketingMasters, whose Web site can't be seen by RBL subscribers..." just sounds intentionally misleading. "Can't be seen by" is simply not true for the vast majority of those under RBL's impact.
Furthermore, he made the claim that MAPS was doing this because there is ONE site that sells spamware on Media3. That is quite the accusation. And if it's true, I will become a MAPS critic myself. But it sure does require proof other than the fact that a spamware vendor IS hosted from Media3 and Media3 IS having an RBL problem.
Here's a fact that I would like to see: how many staffers at Media3 spend how much time on enforcing their AUP? I have a hunch they are relaxed about it and that's what drew attention to them.
I run several servers and help a small ISP now and then. And I have to fight spam ALL THE TIME to keep their services worthwhile. And certain companies, like PSI.net, I AM ALMOST CERTAIN have autoresponders do randomly delayed responses to complaints.
Again, I am guessing that Media3 is relaxed about spam enforcement. I would not say for certain they are since I don't know. And I won't take their word on it as suggested in the original post.
I think this article is very poor on facts. And it's inflamatory. And I think it's shameful that people respond to this stuff as if it is true when there are so many flagrant problems with it./Jarrod
Ehem, that's incompetence.
Sorry I couldn't resist. I find it funny when someone makes a point that someone else is a screw-up and then screw up themselves.
More to the point, they forgot perl. Or better yet mod_perl.
ePerl, Embperl, and Mason all are worth considering because of mod_perl.
So I think you meant "they forgot mod_perl."
It is important to make your project impenetrable to as many people as is possible.
What do you mean you can't figure out how to change the look of your page? What are you a freaking moron?
Don't you think a mix of JSP and scriptlets, for example, make an ideal site? How about use the scriptlets to remove as much code as possible from the front end developers and leave the stupid HTML far far away from the scriptlet whizes? Seems like a good idea to me.
KISS is fine until your site becomes real busy and there is a need to make it more complex.
I think the attitude of making it easy on your developers will turn around and bite you in the ass when you need to do more than have the site running.
This article was for the most part superficial. I wouldn't take any of the advice to the board, especially if you're a part of a medium to large business.
It seems the premise of the article was "so you want to make your fantasy game site super cool?" Not "so you want to make the best all around choice for your enterprise web project?"

Hasn't there been some speculation that MS might want to move some operations into Canada?
Well, Corel is, of course, a Canadian company.
Maybe this allegiance will allow MS to see what it's like.
If you startup Windows ME+2(2002) and it plays "Oh Canada" instead of some grandiose geek fanfare, you'll know my hunch is correct.
