One of the things I used to like about Slackware was the fact that you could install *COMPLETELY* off of floppies. Now only the A [base] and N [networking] sets fit.

Nothing beats my DOS based web browser for pure browse-ability. I run Caldera OpenDOS {used to be available from www.calderathin.com, but I think now it's lineo.com) with packet drivers for an NE2000 and I run the DOSzilla webbrowser [http://idt.net/~kassoc/dos/, it's really cool, a webbrowser for DOS] ported to a DOS TCP-IP stack. For rendering, it's number 1. I pity the fool that tries to DOS my DOS box.

In today's press release, Microsoft (NYSE: MSFT) made a few statements about the recent outbreak of DDoS attacks from obseleted Unix servers and workstations. "I think this just shows the dangers of Open Source.", said Bill Gates. "When you open the source to a program or an operating system, people are free to hack malicious code in. Here at Microsoft, we don't believe in Open Source or even supplying source code at all. You can be assured that there is no faulty code. Mostly, I blame the creators of Unix [Linux Torvalds, Alex Cox] for such a problem." Mr. Gates then went on to say that the problem with Linux and Solaris is that they will not accept official Microsoft service packs. "When you run a Unix based operating system, you cannot install service packs from Microsoft at all. This is obviously a hostile gesture to Microsoft. Once every 3 years or so, we make available service packs for free on our site to fix bugs like these that crop up. For instance, with the well known 'winnuke' attack, we had a patch out in a timely 2 years, proving our dedication to our customers."
" went down today for hours, losing approximately million dollars."
I mean, you could at least give us a little hint to the nature of the attack? Was it a bunch of lawn gnomes bent on world domination using 150,000 Hayes 1200 SuperModems? Or, was it the Amish Militia using a Beowulf cluster of VAXes to winnuke them? Oh well, I'm sure we'll figure it out.
A lot of people don't realize how important the FCC is to the operation of the country. They regulate all of the airwaves around here. It's REALLY good to have someone around there that's tech savvy. I don't know if anyone has ever read the "Hacker Crackdown", but in that book, what shocked me was the fact that most of the govt. agents in there were completely ignorant to the operation of computers, even when they were the ones given the responsibility to apprehend all of these hackers during Operation Sun Devil.

It's only a matter of time now before there's a Final Fantasy where hemos subverts the world with his nacho-cheese like energy source and 4 kernel hackers from a small villiage rise up to contest him.
I think an article like this just reminds us that RMS isn't just a religous fanatic, but he actually writes quality software, and stands up for what we all believe in. Richard Stallman, I salute you.
I think we all know why Corel is withholding their distrobution from minors. Instead of playing Tetris while you install, Corel Linux connects to pr0n.corel.com and streams you live pictures of nekkid dancing penguins. Minors beware!
Welcome to public schooling. Everyone gets an `A'. Teachers are too afraid to give F's any more in fear of labeling a student as "bad". Students are rewarded in categories such as creativity and effort. They're just trying to flatten the bell curve out a little.
It's one of those languages that when you start, it looks REALLY syntactically clumsy, but after a while, you realize Perl is governed by a few simple conventions. They only break habit a few times. (WTF don't filehandles have little jibs in front of them, like $scalar, @array, etc?)
I've been writing in Perl for a while, and after a while you realize how much work Larry has gone though so the rest of us bums can be lazy. Perl didn't happen by accident, folks, it was DESIGNED that way.
Usually, most people that hate Perl call it, 'ugly' or 'gross'. They just haven't learned to realize the simplicity within the language.
Modern Science (or Modem Science, for those of you that like to mispel things) continues to amaze me. They 'know' so much about black holes even though no one has ever touched them. I wonder how much of this is idle conjecture?

Hmm. Not too much of a good news bite.
"Major site goes down due to distributed attack."
Woo. It's like Mad Libs.
" went down today for hours, losing approximately million dollars."
I mean, you could at least give us a little hint to the nature of the attack? Was it a bunch of lawn gnomes bent on world domination using 150,000 Hayes 1200 SuperModems? Or, was it the Amish Militia using a Beowulf cluster of VAXes to winnuke them? Oh well, I'm sure we'll figure it out.
Peace out, my homies.
I've never read anything so funny in my 14 years here at slashdot.

Are you prepared for the 15th anniversary of slashdot?
Now all those Amish can set up the Beowulf cluster of their dreams.
Funny. Microsoft said Win2k wouldn't need any service packs. Guess they were wrong.

First one to port it to OpenVMS gets extra credit points.
Is this like programming on a TRS-80 while bungee jumping?
