  1. Re:Speads!=Affects on Trojan Analysis Leads To Russian Data Hoard · · Score: 1

    +5 informative my ass. RTFA. It only intercepts IE traffic and JavaScript traffic originating from IE. According to the article it seems that there is a newer version with Firefox support, but the one dissected in the article only affects IE.

  2. very nice article, one correction on Trojan Analysis Leads To Russian Data Hoard · · Score: 1

    One lists the price as a Russian "scumbag" slang word that loosely translates to "super-duper!"

    # create object associated with price list
    $price = 'pesdato!'; The correct translation of 'pesdato!' would be 'fukken-A!'.
  3. the solutions proposed on The Anatomy of Pump n' Dump Stock Spamming · · Score: 2, Funny

    I see two obvious solutions:

    1) Do not allow morons access to the Internet
    2) Do not allow morons to trade stocks

    I vote for the number 1 as it will solve a couple of other problems as well.

    Are you trying to setup a DoS backdoor in stock trading?

  5. Re:Which Is Preferable? on Former Spy Poisoned By Radiation In UK · · Score: 1

    um... what I meant is that if it is in fact Krelmin that is behind Litvinenko's death, it is so much more outrageouns because he was not killed to prevent some secret information leakage, but for the revenge sake only.

  6. Re:Which Is Preferable? on Former Spy Poisoned By Radiation In UK · · Score: 1

    Well, he didn't really have much to say, he didn't know any real "intelligence secrets", he workd for the KGB branch which worked against ogranized crime. He was just exposing the corruption inside the agency.

  8. Re:This is a terrible idea... on Oracle Linux? · · Score: 1

    Yep, that's the way to do it. I'm sure RedHat would be happy to participate in something like that.
    I know they already build custom RedHat distros for their large clients (usually just a couple of special packages, but anyways).

  9. hehe on Has Orwell's '1984' Come 22 Years Later? · · Score: 1

    What's a guy that doesn't even consider himself paranoid to think of the current state of affairs?"

    But of course you are not paranoid. We never doubted you. No.

  10. Re:Bland ambition? on Microsoft Takes Aim At Google · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, but...

    Year is 1995 AD. The only web browser in the world is Netscape and Microsoft is working on Internet Explorer 3.0 which is not going to get any market share.

    Microsoft is good at playing catch up. It is one of the very few things it is very, very good at.

  11. Re:You know, here's a news flash... on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    That's why it's probably better to pick Supreme Court justices from judges, not from corporate lawyers.

  12. events/conditional variables on Migrate Win32 C/C++ Applications to Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Unfortunately it doesn't cover the really fun part -- mapping windows Event into pthread's Conditional Variable.

  13. Six-apart? What are you smoking?? on LiveJournal Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    Dear editors, please don't let morons submit news. It's bad.
    LiveJournal has not changed any of its hosting or any other infrastructure yet. This has nothing, nothing, nothing to do with the recent acquisition.

    Sorry, I'm just cranky because of the withdrawal.

  14. Re:configuration on What's Wrong with Unix? · · Score: 1

    I don't know of a good solution to this problem or I would have mentioned it.
    As for ACLs -- I'm not a big fan of them. I think it violates KISS principle.

  15. configuration on What's Wrong with Unix? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think the biggest problem with Unix is the lack of standardized way of doing certain things, in particular program configuration. Even simple programs that require very simple configuraiton store it in random places and formats. Not to mention things that require some serious config files, like sendmail, apache or X. Creating a cross-platform powerful configuration language would help.

    OK, so the guy who predicted that Risc will kill i386s and GNU Hurd will kill Linux now says Kerry will win? Uh, ok. I guess I'll go congratulate my republican co-workers.

  19. strace/truss on Top Ten Linux Configuration Tools? · · Score: 1

    Weird that no one mentioned strace (aka truss on BSD and Solaris). Often it can save you from reading sources when error messages are less than perfect.

  22. amazing conclusion on Indiana First With Computerized Grading · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but the only thing I can conclude from this is that the trained graders are morons.
    There is no fucking way an essay can be graded by something that doesn't understand human language. That's an axiom.
    Computers are not capable of understanding human language yet. That's an axiom.
    Can you make a different conclusion?
    Well, I guess they might not be morons, they could just be overworked. I can easily imagine the sweatshop with 3 minutes on an essay, so that graders, hundreds essays a day... either way system sucks.

    So was your whole essay just one paragraph repeated 5 times or did you have 5 different paragraphs, one repeated three times?

    Sorry, but according to what you say next you did.
