  1. Re:SIDE JOB: Volunteering for Human Rights on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Of course he is speechless. You should at least get your international facts right before going out and embrassing yourself.



    It is China who is contesting over Tibet... NOT Taiwan.

  2. Re:Microsoft, Apple, and... on Personal File Server For The Masses · · Score: 1

    Ermm... What happens if somethng like this pops out again?
    Heaven for the script/warez kiddies is near!

  3. Re:Well, I do on Initial Half-Life 2 Benchmarks Released · · Score: 1
    An add on. THAT 1 frame per sec is gonna be the difference between MY sniper aimbot thrashing the ass of the OTHER sniper aimbot used by the kiddies down the street. :P

    Seriously thou, FPS is one big reason to explain why when you play first-person deathmatches, you get killed BEFORE you even see the little twit who shot you. His display card just managed to squeeze out that image of your innocent head popping out first.

  4. Re:I think you're approaching your job wrong. on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    A good phrase is, "Poor planning on your part does not constitue an emergency on mine." If you can figure out a nice way to say that, let me know.

    My boss should learn the goddammed meaning of THAT!

  5. Re:High-temperature life forms on Iron-eating Bug Found to Thrive in 121C Heat · · Score: 1

    Now we just need to find someone to tank the creature so that we can get the +3 fire resist Armor from its corpse.

    2 words: Dependency HELL

    Maybe all the linux users have got used to it but thats the main reason that I switched to BSD years ago and never looked back.

  7. Re:OT, all right, but I want to know... on Proof Is In: Kansas Is Flatter Than A Pancake · · Score: 1

    Depends on which muthafucker is faster i guess.

  8. Re:Those who think Matrix is totally deep... on Philosophy, Reality and The Matrix · · Score: 1

    Not totally accurate. In Reloaded, we come across the concept of "warring" fractions among the very programs that run in the matrix.

    Each of the higher daemons(AI) are engaged in their personal struggle for power to break out of their chrooted enviroment. If you were to rewatch the first matrix, Agent Smith himself admits to wanting to break out of this "shithole"

    Back to my point, the reason that the agents are not able to just conjure out a thermonuclear weapon to blast the entire city that the irritating zionists are is because they do not have r00t! Checks and balances are programmed into the system to prevent rogue programs from hax0ring themonuclear weapons. (E.g. File Permissions)

    Neo is prolly potrayed as the hacker. The uber monkey who has leet talent and root access to the matrix server. Problem is, he does not have a "How to operate and maintain the matrix server for dummies" HOWTO so hes just stumbling around and checking out the man pages (ORACLE) once in a while. How it goes in revolutions... We just gotta wait and see.

  9. Re:Art has to be defined first. on Is the Seeking of Lost Skills/Arts a Hacking Analog? · · Score: 1

    Well... You can hack it by picking up the "Art of Being Honest in a Dishonest World without getting Shit on your Face". Some popular chapters include "half truths", "intentional omissions", "selective ameasia" and of course "Shifting the blame aka Bullet Proofing Yourself". Have fun!

  10. Re:Theories and Spoilers on Nmap Featured in The Matrix Reloaded · · Score: 1

    - There are other powerful entities within the Matrix who have nothing to do with the agents, and are quite human: they are very emotional, have egos, etc. Why are they in the Matrix?

    Sounds like a big IRC network with the "powerful" entities with big egos, emotions being the script kiddies and the ircopers. Maybe the Matrix is just one big MMPOG. End of 3rd episode, theres a pwipe, everyone unplugs and says "Good Game"

  11. Some advice on When Should a Consultant Question Decisions? · · Score: 1

    Aye. From my personal experience, make sure you make a really big hoo-hah and generate lots of black n white when you tell your clients that what they are doing is Wrong(tm). That way if they choose not to listen to your professional advice and when things screw up, just throw them your paper predicting the problem they are facing now. The same paper which you written 3 months before the project was even implemented and cced to all the departmental heads and the CTO. They will hopefully learn from their experience and listen to you more next time.

  12. TOP SEKRET PROJECT on Designers - Are You Influenced By What You Read? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hush.... I am currently working on a big project called... The METAVERSE.

    DAMM! You mean you can surf pr0n on it too??

  14. Re:well...maybe...but on New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet · · Score: 1
    Aye. I agree wholeheartedly. My hands are totally tied at my workplace too. They totally freak out at the thought of using a open source(WHO WILL SUPPORT IT THEN??) operating system like openbsd for their webservers and they too refused to let me change the default administrator passwords when i took over.

    I am having recurrent nitemares about the previous network administrator coming in and start trashing ard the place.

  15. Re:How? on AOL Cans 1 billion Spams In One Day · · Score: 1

    Was just about to enter my email address into the site for encoding into unicode before i suddenly got this creepy feeling.

    WHAT IF THE WEBSITE IS BEING RUN BY A SPAMMER??!!

    Great sneeky idea when you think about it.

  16. Re:Reboot? on One Step Closer to NWN for Linux · · Score: 1

    Judging by your above post, then WinXP should prolly be known as "Return of the BSOD"

  17. Re:The quality? on Missing Kernel Patches · · Score: 1

    If the developers are giving more piority to dressing up the code and "making it look nice" rather than functionalty, then i think that something is wrong.

    True, I arn't the one whos gonna work on it in future... but when its BROKEN, it's BROKEN! Whatever happened to the days of 0 day patches to fix even the smallest typo errors?
