  1. Re:Compatibility on FreeDOS 1.2 Is Finally Released (freedos.org) · · Score: 1

    and also pcemu

    Thanks for hanging in there so long!

  2. 386BSD 0.1 2016 remix on After 22 Years, 386BSD Gets An Update (386bsd.org) · · Score: 1

    So you know those albums that were recorded in the 60's and 70's that the bands or record companies suddenly re-release with shitty mixes or that now include "lost tapes" of the engineer belching or other detritus? You know ..the stuff that's released for no other reason than to extend the copyright.

    Something about this release brings that phenomenon to mind for some reason...

  3. Yes, backups on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Use Optical Media? · · Score: 1

    Lately I've been pulling stuff off of cds I burned 15, 16 years ago, no problems.

  4. Is there a signifigant difference on Red Hat Expands Red Hat Developer Program With No-Cost Red Hat Enterprise Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    between developing on Redhat and developing on Centos? Hell, throw in Scientific Linux in there too, for yucks. It's rebranded RHEL too, isn't it?

  5. Re:No on Can the Cloud Be More Secure Than Your Own Servers? (Video) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yes, your criminal organization has different requirements than an honest business,

    You're saying HIPAA compliance is criminal, are you? You're saying that protecting client/lawyer confidentiality is criminal, are you?

    I don't think you've thought this out very far...

  6. Re:Idiots. on Netflix Is Becoming Just Another TV Channel · · Score: 2

    Cord-cutters are undesirable in the eyes of the entertainment industry, it was inevitable that the cord-cutting threat posed by netflix would be eventually be neutralized.

  7. Re:give $100 million each to best friends & fa on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Do If You Were Suddenly Wealthy? · · Score: 2

    This is the best answer right here, and it would cure his loneliness, too. Not only do the people who have stuck by you during the hard times deserve the reward, but they're the ones who have proven who you can trust.

  8. "once" on High Court Orders UK ISPs To Block EBook Sites · · Score: 2

    "It's nothing compared to what will be thrust upon us once those two trade deals go through."

    Also it's "two", not "2"; we might be slashdot, but for god's sake we don't type like 12 year olds!

  9. Re:Well... on DNA On Pizza Crust Leads To Quadruple Murder Suspect · · Score: 1

    Most chain pizza has a disgusting crust, though Dominoes seems to be even worse (too sweet, mushy and doughy like it's undercooked) than most.

  10. Re:Neat on Turning the Arduino Uno Into an Apple ][ · · Score: 1

    I was playing with apple emulators 18 years ago and I had the same reaction.

  11. Re:Is that why... on AMD, Nvidia Reportedly Tripped Up On Process Shrinks · · Score: 1

    Yes. Exactly.

  12. Re:And systemd had nothing to do with it. on GNOME 3 Winning Back Users · · Score: 1

    Our only hope is that systemd implodes and everything just goes back to the way it was.

    in short; we're fucked.

  13. but IS it?

  14. Re:Test string here: on Remote Exploit Vulnerability Found In Bash · · Score: 1

    I updated Linux Mint x86 and tried it:

    rl@home ~ $ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
    bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
    bash: error importing function definition for `x'
    this is a test
    rl@home ~ $

    I'm gonna assume that means the version they just pushed out is fixed...

  15. Re:Technobabble... on The State of ZFS On Linux · · Score: 1

    the btrfs project was started in 2007, before Oracle purchased SUN.

  16. Re:Duh on Black Hat Researchers Actively Trying To Deanonymize Tor Users · · Score: 1

    http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tor+russi...

    Which does NOT address how the TOR network will magically become somehow better because of being attacked not one bit at all.

  17. Re:Duh on Black Hat Researchers Actively Trying To Deanonymize Tor Users · · Score: 1

    on the bright side, TOR will be better in the end because of it.

    My, how the mighty have fallen. I never thought i'd see the day when MS took 3rd place on the big list of evil...

  20. Re:can it resurrect /. classic? on Dried Meat "Resurrects" Lost Species of Whale · · Score: 2

    Ok, fine -I'm convinced and so are many others?
    SO ...where have we decided to go when they stop offering slashdot classic -ars technica?

  21. Re:Do these projects OpenBSD, FreeBSD matter anywa on Theo De Raadt Says FreeBSD Is Just Catching Up On Security · · Score: 0

    Bull-fucking-shit.

    Pedant fail. The basis for OS X was NeXTSTEP, and the basis for NeXTSTEP was BSD.

    BSD what...4.2? 4.3? Far before FreeBSD.

    What the fuck is wrong with you people?

    Have you considered switching to fucking decaf? Then you might notice that operating systems are more than just a kernel.

    No shit! But that doesn't change that using a modicrum of FreeBSD code in your utilities doesn't make your OS a "fork" of FreeBSD.
    Y'all used to know better, now you don't.

    BSD ain't dying -but I sure can't say the same for Slashdot...

  22. Re:Do these projects OpenBSD, FreeBSD matter anywa on Theo De Raadt Says FreeBSD Is Just Catching Up On Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    Also, Mac OS X is essentially a fork of FreeBSD.
     

    Bull-fucking-shit.
    I know this is slashdot, but for fuck's sake you should still know better than that! And +5 informative too?
    What the fuck is wrong with you people?

  23. Re:Not news for nerds on Nelson Mandela Dead At 95 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Because it's "stuff that matters."

  24. Re:Too Late on Microsoft's NSA 'Transparency' Push Remains Pretty Opaque · · Score: 2

    Who do you imagine are their customers, and what is it that you imagine that they're selling?
    You're probably wrong on both counts.

  25. In other words Microsoft's "transparency" ends on Microsoft's NSA 'Transparency' Push Remains Pretty Opaque · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...where NSA contracts begin. Much to the surprise of absolutely no-one at all.
