  1. Re:FreshMeat on 2.4.9 Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    To clarify your reply: how many fucking days do you have per month, on average? And why do you waste such a day by just looking at fresh meat? :)

  2. Attaboy Slashdot! on Acknowledging Great Free Software · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Thanks for creating this great discussion forum!

    Sorry, just following the advice some OSS developers gave earlier.
    And don't you dare moderate this as redundant, imho we can't thank them enough! :)

  3. Re:Update: 08/14 08:39 PM by T: on Final Fantasy At 2.5FPS · · Score: 1

    Therefore, the update to the article needs another update :-)

  4. Update: 08/14 08:39 PM by T: on Final Fantasy At 2.5FPS · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Original headline was wrong, said ".4FPS" but as cxreg pointed out, .4 frame per second isn't 4FPS.

    No it isn't. But it is .4FPS!
    Are you drinking, Timothy? :)

    Disclaimer: I am... (drinking :-))

  5. Re:hey it's Junk Yard Wars! on Own Your Own Russian Space Shuttle · · Score: 1

    You are a bit of a stealth /.-er, aren't you? :)

    If the women go there, the rest of the world will follow.

    Right... make it a dating universe :-)

  7. Re:Dumbest thing they could do on Code Red: the Aftermath · · Score: 2

    And, depending on how much ethernet snooping the rooted box can do, change all passwords that may have been seen on that segment, and the passwords of the machine itself. The password database might have been taken as well. Maybe this will not affect a webserver, but the same passwords might be used on other machines and/or services. No backdoors necessary...

  8. Re:This is an outrage! on Atlas of Worldwide Light Pollution · · Score: 1

    There is atmospheric distortion too. Let's get rid of all that air as well :-)

  9. Easy! on Atlas of Worldwide Light Pollution · · Score: 2
    Just take the Triana and put it on the opposite of its intended position, so it only sees the dark part of the planet. Instant Light Pollution data, and a space project saved as well :-)

  10. Re:Just as well... on Korean Air Mission Critical Systems Moved to Linux · · Score: 2
    Lives at stake? Come on, it's flight scheduling and accounting they are talking about. The only live at stake is that of de desk ladies at the airport when a flight is canceled...

  11. Why? on Triana Mothballed · · Score: 1
    Why do politicians have to kill great science projects for their own political vandettas?

    Well, because you cannot have a decent vendetta without some significant killing, ofcourse! :)

    Oh.. sorry, rethorical...

  12. Re:More information? on Code Red III · · Score: 2
    Purely hypothetical, this might work:

    "echo y|format c:"

    Theoretically this would bypass the "are you really, really, absolutely 100% sure that you want to format this drive which may cause some dataloss?" question... Ofcourse, theoretically, this only works in "english" versions of format.[com|exe|whatever].

    I, hypothetically, could have used this to scare the living shit out of some friends, by typing it on the command prompt and then hovering over the enter key, grinning mischievously. I never did, ofcourse.

    Maybe the format command needs a "/u" parameter, but researching this is left as an educational exercise for the reader :-)

    PS: one word: .... backup! :)

  13. Re:More information? on Code Red III · · Score: 2
    Don't forget the "echo Y" pipe trick :-)
    I don't know if that still works under NT though, fortunately no NT machine available to test it...

  14. Re:Funimation on Slashback: Mods, Books, Checkmate · · Score: 1

    Is it a coincidence that your nick is "Gee... sue!"? :)

    You mean that was a ...... joke?

  16. Re:EU & US Patent "Syncing" on EU & US Patent "Syncing" · · Score: 1
    I presume "syncing" was a type, and that he meant "sinking" :-)

  17. Re:Wrong type of apology, bucko on LinuxToday Editor Apologizes For Astroturfing · · Score: 2
    does anyone remember the best apology scene ever in "A Fish Called Wanda"
    Yes.

    That's probably the position Kevin was in
    A real shame there was no webcam pointed at Kevin (Reichard, not Kline :) ) while he wrote this apology. :-)

  20. Do you trust Internet caf�-machines? on Is This How to Carry Your Gadgets? · · Score: 1
    or heading to an Internet café, install a copy of SSH

    Just wondering: do you trust those pc's? I mean, how do you know there is not a trojan or other keystroke logger on it?

    I'm thinking of creating a remote entry point for my own network, but this question keeps spinning in the back of my head :-/
