Respondent took Complaint?s famous trademark and tacked on other words, such as "beer," "really," and "sucks" to form the said domain names.
In other news, x.com is suing multiple domain owners over the abuse of "X", a registered trademark.
"Companies are obviously trying to steal our customers from us by adding such words as "se", "hotse", "hotdonkeyse", and "youngvirginwithagoatse" before our "x.com". We've already filed our complaint, and expect to recieve all domains ending with a "x" by the end of the week."
i'm suddenly having flashbacks to bard's tale i and the 4 groups of 30 something-or-others that lived in some tower/casle thingy. I remember when my monk started hitting more than twice, and when your ac got so low it used some two letter abreviation instead. But i can't seem to remember any of this exactly. Argh. I hope you apreciate the fact that the rest of my day which would have been productive will now be spent trying to remember the answers to these and other questions.
And in bards tale 1 you could summon a stone monster/god/thingy to join your party by hitting "z". and that's the only useful thing i remember....
UNC has a graduate CS department. Not undergrad. Undergrads have to join the math department, and "focus" on CS, which (as of '97) meant taking 4 or 5 CS classes. (See here).The graduate department is indeed amazing, and it's cool if you know someone in the graduate department so that you can get in some of the neater VR experiments. But as an undergrad, that's as close as you will probably get to the interesting parts. In fact, when i was there (3 years ago) the first 3 CS classes (Comp 14,15,114 ) weren't even taught in Sitterson (which is the brand-spanking new mutli-million dollar CS building)....
It's kinda funny that Bob Young donated alot of money to UNC to change the name of Sunsite^H^H^H^H^H^HMetalab^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HIbiblio, but never tried to push Red Hat down UNC's throat (AFAIK, UNC still uses AIX for their main student mail/shell server).
Oh yeah. Maybe it's because there's no engineering department at UNC. Or undergrad CS department. Makes you wonder how Sunsite ended up there in the first place.....
there have actually been several local root exploits beside chpass recently (all but one were string format related). A few weeks ago, the site read "Only one local root exploit in the past 2 years." SecurityFocus.com's search engine seems dead, so i can't find the exact Bugtraq posts (i clean out my bugtraq file every week or so). But this is nothing new...
"linux isnt secure and it isnt stable," my informant writes, with his usual bracing disdain for grammar and punctuation. "its a moving target that never really gets out of beta. sure people run production sites on linux. i know alot of these people. they dont get much sleep and have grown opaque from the lack of sunlight. i have admin'd large linux shops. they require huge amounts of admin overhead, and if you want shit to really work you are going to spend alot of time manually fixing things. the number of outstanding security holes and lack of stable functionality is monumental."
At my last job, there were always 3 NT admins on duty for every 1 Linux admin. Why? New service packs, conflicts with old service packs, and constant rebooting (which couldn't be done remotely). It sounds to me like this paragraph should be run through "$paragraph=~s/linux/NT/g".
Oh, and btw, this is the original "Linux Sux" article that the current article refers to.
agreed that there was a group called NWA. i have straight outta compton, niggas4life, and the 100 miles and running single. no argument there. but what i am saying is that there existed a wrestling organization called the NWA in the mid to late 80's . Thats all.
look genius, (and i use this term lightly), NWA == National Wrestling Association, which was where sting got his start in the fsking 80's . Old school stuff. Get your facts straight.
I think sting was done wrong by the WIPO. Afterall, a celeberty's name is very important, and misuse of such a thing can be very confusing. I mean, doesn't the WIPO respect Sting's early work in the NWA with the Four Horsemen? This was long before he switched to the WWF due to it's growing popularity. And think about his gothic makeup now. I think he should body slam every arbitrator invloved in this scam. And that whiney guy in that Police band too.
First of all, here's a list of things i don't like (just so you know i'm being fair):
1) The lack of constants: The only way to do constants is to create a subroutine that returns whatever value you want to be constant, ie: sub foo{ return "bar";}
this is going to fail the same way microsoft's secure music codec did. if grabbing the unencrypted output of a sound device is really the work of "hackers", then i can't wait to h4x0r the temporary file the movie streams to after decryption.
I worked at a medium sized isp for a little over a year. While I was there, i was one of the main spam contacts (ie, i got the mail that went to "abuse@" ). In general, it was easy to nail spammers. Trace the headers, send a complaint to the isp/admin on the other side. If a spammer came from uunet or psi, then it was usually a guaranteed kill. However, spammers are getting smarter, and recently i've been noticing more and more spam being relayed through boxes not in the US. This poses several problems, the main being that the rest of the world is under no obligation to follow the laws of the US. Also, there is the language barrier. Alot of uce seems to originate from asia, and i'm not sure that firing off an email in ascii characters would make much of a difference to someone who reads kanji .
Then there's the most annoying problem i faced, which is admins that either don't know how to prevent relaying, or don't care that they are being used as a relay. I recently was notified by a friend of mine that he got spammed through a mail server owned by a major canadian isp. Not only was the server an open relay, but it's sendmail configuration was so fucked that it didn't even log the originating ip address in the mail headers (IOW, it trusted whatever HELO said). TO make matters worse, the admin of the box was contacted about this, and has done nothing. I think the only way to prevent spam is to educate admins about relay-proofing their mail servers.No open relays, no spammers. Then the US could put a decent amount of money into public education instead of making bounties to catch these bastards.
I used to sysop a WWIV bbs. We had TW2002, Food Fight, and we subscribed to Fido.net. All that on a 386-16 with (gasp) 8 megs of ram. I remember getting phone calls from my friends because I shut the server down at 2am to play Wing Commander. I used to get up extra early in the AM to get my TW turns in before anyone else. Today's games are neat and all, but when's the last time you got up at 5am to play q3a?
I've been using the 2.3 series since 2.3.32, and have had tremendous success with them. Several things to note that _weren't_ in the article:
1) sysvipc has changed. if you use anything that depends on shm, you'll need to add this to your/etc/fstab: none/var/shm shm defaults 0 0
2) Along with the new/dev fs, there's many (interesting) files to play with, the cooles imho being/dev/microcode. You can basically rewrite the binary data built in to your processor. While i dont think 'cat/dev/random >/dev/microcode' would be such a good idea, there's a good page with info on this here
Businesses are always one step ahead of lawmakers (that's what corporate lawyers are paid the big bucks for). Pick at random a large mail order business , say BMG or one of the other "12 for the price of 1" CD resellers. Look at the package your new Backstreet Boys cd came in . Note that the address is usually from some sparsely populated midwest state (North Dakota, Iowa, etc). Reason? These companies calculate where their business comes from and move their location to areas where they get the least amount of taxable sales. I assume most companies have avoided Alaska simply because of the expensive shipping costs, but if 6% sales taxes were levied in all 48 continental states you can bet there would be a huge jump in land prices in Anchorage. And don't get me started on how the state government would prove that these purchases actually occured. If i ever get a letter from the state of California that starts out "While routinely sniffing your ISP's network, we found a rather large set of encrypted packets which resemble a credit card number", I'll rescind my citizenship and head to the Keys. Of course, Uncle Sam can still tax my income for a few more years, but that's another story...

Ok, so i tried some searches.
Searching for linux quake returned 12 hits, but not linuxquake.com.
Searching for mpaa decss returned nothing.
Searching for sony aibo also returned nothing.
I like what these people are trying to do; I just think the implementation isn't that great yet.

here's a url about sting's history. and yes, i was wrong. he was in the WCW, not the WWF. But i was right about the NWA thing.

Just my $2^-2 worth.
It's already been done in Redneck Rampage, another simulation of sorts which puts you in the body of someone with an odd number of chromosomes.
Any game with "Drink Beer" and "Take A Leak" buttons is ok in my book.
so what do these "overclockers" do with their machines after they're done voiding their warranties?
"Games like 'Doom' are popular."
Ok...
I wonder exactly how many FPS you can get with a dual ClereonII 633 oc'd to 1ghz (see this article).
