  1. Re:Sorry, Theo on OpenBSD Project in Financial Danger · · Score: 1

    yeah, the guy is a king size asshole, but he and the people working with him get the job done and done well. all the people who have or who will reply to this post should step up and buy a copy of OBSD. I try and buy a copy every few releases.

  2. understanding neighbors on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    You guys must have the best neighbors in the history of neighbors. How have you delt with keeping people around you happy with all the dead pigs rotting in cars, random gun fire, rocket engines being fired in the shop and stuff blowing up?

  3. Re:Does this mean Kerry will win? on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    so are you saying that it's GWB's fault that we did nothing before 9/11 (like a response to the first WTC bombing, the African embassies bombings or the Cole bombing)? Or are you saying that after Bad people knocked down two huge buildings in lower Manhattan and killed a bunch people in a multi pronged assault hitting 3 out of 4 targets that it was wrong for GWB (and the congress) to try and take steps to stop it from happening again?

    Yeah, you were ripped off. I have one just like it, but with a much bigger spout.

    wow, great news. now if only he were a congressman and not a senator.

  6. Re:What will O'Reilly say? on Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo · · Score: 1

    Fox News and it's parent are privately held companies. PBS is largely publicly funded. Public funds, telling one side of the story. If I don't like what's on Fox News, I turn the channel. I'm out nothing. If I don't like what's on PBS, I still have to pay for it. Same hold true for NPR.

  7. Re:What will O'Reilly say? on Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo · · Score: 1

    They did the "ethical" thing 'cause they got caught doing something unethical. How many other altered photos pass by. The ethical thing would have been to fire the guy who did this before they used the pic.

    I think Bill got together with a few hundred other reporters/commentators and made a goup apology for reporting a story.

    yeah, but show up with an air rifle and your a terrorist.

  9. Re:FreeBSD on OpenBSD 3.2 Available · · Score: 1

    OpenBSD has always installed better for me as a desktop system than freebsd. Sound and apm on laptops has always worked out of the box, where as freebsd has given me some headaches. The lack of Mozilla on OpenBSD pisses me off, and the lack of SMP rules it out as a server choice on most of my production boxes. I also really hate the need for a local source tree and compilers to do errata updates. Sure I could build on another box and move stuff over, but what a pain in the ass. I'd love to see a secure binary updates system from Theo/OpenBSD.

  10. Re:LIKE HELL I CAN'T! on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 1

    Thanks for a little context.

  11. The Score on the DVD is too much. on Lord of The Rings DVD, Now or Later? · · Score: 1

    I was never able to go see this movie in the theater, so i don't know if this is just the way the film was cut, but the score drowns out the dialog. You can't hear what people are saying most of the time. It also seems like the actors are mumbling most of the time, which doesn't help. I wish I could adjust the score/dialog levels on my dvd player.

  12. I thought he was already dead... on James Doohan Not In A Coma and Likely To Survive · · Score: -1, Troll

    slashcode is a tightass,,, just let me post for christ sake,,, damn slashcode.

    AAAA I hate slashcode...

  13. Re:Define "more secure" on WinInformant Says Windows More Secure Than Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    BB's are copper. Old style bird shot was lead, current stuff is steel. Then there is buckshot and slugs of course. Then we get into the really cool shit, fletchet rounds (a dozen or so finned steel darts), incendiary rounds (think of a ball of white hot fire coming out of the barrel of a 12gauge. The round is for forestry work, setting backburns to fight fires), duplex rounds (for blowing deadbolts and hinges off doors). There are some really cool rounds for shotguns.

    I really think the incendiary rounds are the best for personal defense. I don't think someone would continue to fuck with you if your shooting back at them with great big balls of white hot fire ;-)

  14. Re:A better question on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    An avg sized man can break most ignition locks. It's a weak little pin. If someone wants your car, they're going to get it.

  15. Re:Gimmickry and technology on Maine buys 38,600 ibooks for Public Schools · · Score: 1

    Soo true. That and in a year half those pretty comps will be in the spare parts bin. Just who long do they think a laptop will last with a student? Bad use of funding IMHO.

  16. Re:Question on KDE 2.2.2 · · Score: 1

    Dude your comp is older than dirt. If you ever want to use the current kde stuff, and enjoy it. You'll need more horsepower.

    Oh and I see no reason to not spend the $50, setup the new comp to just try KDE. There is no reason to pull down your current setup, it can still act as a firewall/gateway/router/webserver/pr0n_archive with the new comp in play.

    Read the book "Hackers" for a good run down of this stuff. Well up to the early 80's at least.

  21. Re:The fine line... on Our New Pearl Harbor · · Score: 1

    If our retaliation is a knee jerk, or too week then yes, it will just provoke more of this type of action against the US. If it's swift, aimed at the correct parties and complete and total devistation against them, then others will not be so quick to attack against us in such a manner.

    My heart goes out to your friends families, and to you John. To all the people who have, or will lose someone do to this. I truely feel for you all.

    Lets not forget evil is evil and technology has nothing to do with that fact. It's just the means to an end for the evil.

  24. Re:encrypt! on Aussie ISP Scans Downloads For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    How do you encrypt the 190 warez rar's of Office2k your pulling off of alt.binaries.warez.nt?

    I guess hosting and usenet providers could provide this encryption as an extra service. $10 extra per month and you get an encrypted connection to airnews. Of course @home will then just stop all news traffic out of there network and limit it to there "Better" news servers.

    I guess some underground activity is best kept underground.

    I wonder if the Aussies have anything like the right to privacy in the US?
