heh. What I want to see is the Christian nuts, all rushing to tell aliens about Jesus, who died for their sins, and would they please accept Him as their Personal Savior.
That will be precious.

Who ever said things haven't gotten better in the last two thousand years?
Today, the person is taken off the streets where he won't be a danger to society. Back then, he was allowed to walk free and he started the most successful cult ever. Hopefully we've learned the lesson well enough never to make that mistake again, and all messiahs will get the appropriate treatment.
(really, if you believe half the things you guys say you do about God, don't you think he'd "find a way"? Or is He just that incapable?)

That's why I'm not incredibly fond of Stewart. I liked the Daily Show with Kilborne better. The best parts of the show are always the various field reporters doing their thing and of course the "Back in Black" segment.

And, it's amazing how few people understand what the REAL "smart" shows are on TV. (of course, there are just a small handful of them)
When I visit some of my relatives, I'll often turn to comedy central for the Daily Show, and I watched the Simpsons regularly at its peak. Those were the only two shows I watched with any regularity. The Daily Show was especially awesome when it had Kilborn (his new gig at CBS isn't as good) and some of those reporters like A. Whitney Brown. Hell, they're still good. And (this is important) they kept the "guest" segment of the show blissfully short.
Anyway, I was often told to stop watching 'that junk' because "It rots the brain". Then, they'd watch the local evening newscast while priding themselves on their seriousness, and being "informed".
They never grasped the irony of it all.

Mir has bit the bullet, bought the farm, shuffled off this mortal coil (or rather back onto it), and is no more.
This allusion to Monty Python's parrot sketch is made all the more ironic by the fact that the talk about it goes on and on, just as with the unfortunate parrot. All that's missing is for somebody to swing it around and bang it on the counter.
Also, I carry two titanium balls everywhere I go so I don't understand what's so interesting there.

I don't remember who said it, but there's an old saying that a brain detached from a body will be driven to insanity.
If it looses all connection to the real world, nobody already familiar will get it, and the people trapped in the site's event horizon will be doomed to swirl around each other until the end of time (which for them can come rather soon) and can be truely said to be in their own subuniverse, unable to ever return to - or even pass information to - the real world.
Yes folks, Everything2 is a black hole.

The way soft drink companies talk about teens, it's like their very existence is a means to an end, the end being the integration of brand X into their lifestyle and their very way of thinking.
If teens go for the kind of stuff the coke folks are talking about, the human race is in worse shape than I was giving it credit for. A coke tap in the house is a horrible idea.

The thing about encrypted content protection schemes is that the RIAA and MPAA will never be able to design a foolproof scheme that will do what they want. When you encrypt your product, you still have to give consumers the tool to decrypt it.
Even if other attacks fail, reverse engineering the decryptor will break it wide open every time. It is just a matter of making it not worth most people's time as the parent of this comment said.
-- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house"
I don't say that because of some "consumerism" involved in having a computer. I say it because of the topics of discussion on this forum.
Or would Tyler Durden care about GPL issues and whether a program builds on FreeBSD? Would he have an Emacs vs vi preference? Would he appreciate the humorous obscure references so often made in some of the really clever posts? ("Oh, I get it. That's very clever. How's that working out for you? --being clever...")

no but see, the wallpaper had STRIPES on it! Get it? Stripes? Maybe your sense of humor just isn't developed enough to appreciate the subtle nuances of stripes.

yes, Tyler Durden would be ashamed of him. However, the very act of reading and posting to slashdot disqualifies you (and me, all of us) from leveling such an attack.

Since this class is infinite, it means that any simple sub divisions of this group are infinite as well. Therefore, not only are there an infinite number of unsolvable problems, but there are an infinite number of solvable problems. Furthermore, these are dividable into an infinite number of other types of problems, such as an infinite number of interesting problems vs an infinite number of boring problems.
Talk about "non-logical"... Tell us why an infinite number of problems could not be distributed as exactly five interesting ones and an infinite number of boring ones. Out of the set of integers greater than 4, there are exactly five less than 10. The remaining subdivision is infinite.
You could use the method of Alexander the Great, who was a very good practical mathematician in his own right. Alexander is famous for solving the mathematical problem of the Gordian Knot. He used a sword.
Alexander's approach strikes me as a kind of "brute force approach", if you will, which is generally frowned upon in pure mathematics.

And how was "I LOVE YOU" a Windows problem? It was an Outlook problem. Turning off the automatic execution of macros in attached Word documents fixes it. So don't go blaming Windows.

great, a Troll Rights activist whaco. Just what the world needs. You know, the bits you're using are only 15% post-consumer. Liberal pansies...
(I really have to get this formatting thing right - that last post was all run-together for some reason)
-- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house"
Ironic that you would post a story making fun of Outlook when there is now a major internet worm, dubbed the Lion worm, spreading through Linux machines by exploiting a security hole in BIND.
The Lion worm is similar to the Ramen worm. However, this worm is
significantly more dangerous and should be taken very seriously. It
infects Linux machines running the BIND DNS server. It is known to
infect bind version(s) 8.2, 8.2-P1, 8.2.1, 8.2.2-Px, and all
8.2.3-betas. The specific vulnerability used by the worm to exploit
machines is the TSIG vulnerability that was reported on January 29,
2001.
The Lion worm spreads via an application called "randb". Randb scans
random class B networks probing TCP port 53. Once it hits a system, it
checks to see if it is vulnerable. If so, Lion exploits the system using
an exploit called "name". It then installs the t0rn rootkit.
Once Lion has compromised a system, it:
- - Sends the contents of/etc/passwd,/etc/shadow, as well as some
network settings to an address in the china.com domain.
- - Deletes/etc/hosts.deny, eliminating the host-based perimeter
protection afforded by tcp wrappers.
- - Installs backdoor root shells on ports 60008/tcp and 33567/tcp (via
inetd, see/etc/inetd.conf)
- - Installs a trojaned version of ssh that listens on 33568/tcp
- - Kills Syslogd , so the logging on the system can't be trusted
- - Installs a trojaned version of login
- - Looks for a hashed password in/etc/ttyhash
- -/usr/sbin/nscd (the optional Name Service Caching daemon) is
overwritten with a trojaned version of ssh.
The t0rn rootkit replaces several binaries on the system in order to
stealth itself. Here are the binaries that it replaces:
du, find, ifconfig, in.telnetd, in.fingerd, login, ls, mjy, netstat,
ps, pstree, top
- - "Mjy" is a utility for cleaning out log entries, and is placed in/bin
and/usr/man/man1/man1/lib/.lib/.
- - in.telnetd is also placed in these directories; its use is not known
at this time.
- - A setuid shell is placed in/usr/man/man1/man1/lib/.lib/.x
