Several of you fucked up - this code got into the project without being checked where and who wrote it. Now rewrite and reintegrate and retest, and remember this lesson.
Are you aware that most spam that comes with a From: address that says yahoo has that field forged ? They are merely a popular choice among spammers when choosing who to masquerade[1] as to those who don't look at the headers.
Of course, this probably won't change your filters, as it doesn't matter if it is forged or not - it's still spam, but just FYI.:)

Was I the only one who actually became bored watching this film due to the intense CGI overload ? Don't get me wrong, I love a good CGI fest, but there is a level where enough is enough (Starship Troopers is probably the best usage of CGI in my opinion). Also, this is obviously a film in which CGI must play a great part to "capture" the feeling of the book, but I felt like I was being pounded by Maya (or whatever it was, I am not cluebie enough on CGI) for three hours. Where do we draw the line ?
He is a masterful troll, if such a thing exists.

Plus, what person would be so insensitive to vote for the best picture for a film entitled The Two Towers in this post 9-11 age? I hope Peter Jackson shows a little sensitivity and changes the name.
"9-11" should get the same treatment that "Nazi" gets on Usenet.
"Won't get trolled again", with apologies to The Who.
...companies such as Time Magazine had to go so far as to have hard copies rushed before deadlines by cab!
How else would you rush a hard copy in a city ? Ok, maybe courier.
If AOL email isn't working, learn ftp/scp/use some other web email service. Duh. I could rant about how people depend on email way to much. Usually these are the people sitting behind the Exchange server clicking away on their Outlook. You want reliability with that ? Ah ha.
My main suggestion, GCC, is something that could only be exploited from a root login.
Your misconception is why you have "suffered" all of this. A compiler can be used to get root, with the right exploit, e.g. a kernel race condition. If I somehow worked out how to get a non-root process to run something it compiled for me (some exploit), I can elevate my privileges if the kernel has the right kind of bug. These things do happen, for example, this one.
"dustmite" was correct, a firewall does not need, and should never have, a compiler.
Man, you are missing out if you don't watch the religious programming. Some of the shows are absolutely hilarious. Other shows are fascinating to, as a glass window into the closed mind of a Christian (and I single out Christians here as they seem to be the bulk of cable TV that I have seen, at least here in Australia). It's amazing to see the little world they live in, inside their head and inside the wals of their church.
Also, I wish I got the right wing stuff here, I'd watch it all the time. Know your enemy.
Have you tried to explain to your boss that your personal life is in tatters right now ? You don't have to tell him the gory details. Most of these people do have a little humanity left in them, and he may think you are just "playing hooky".
By the way dude, don't look for someone or something to blame, just work to get on with the other parts of your life. It sucks. I've been there too.:(
Lenny Henry (the British Comedian) said something like (and I'm paraphrasing) "Sex with Barry White must be like shagging an ink blotter", and that the noises he makes during the act (the same ones he makes into the microphone) are really him saying "Get me a crane, I can't get up".
Though a rather condescending post, it wasn't too bad, until you got to recommending a pop psychology book. Christ. If you really believe that men and womenn are two different species, I pity _your_ wife.
All these books from a man who got his degree from Columbia Pacific University, which was ordered to refund it's fees to students and then close in 2000 by the Marin County Supreme Court. At least nine students who received Ph.D.s in 1994 had been enrolled less than 20 months, four of them less than 12.
I'm not exactly sure where in an irc client vi keybindings could even be used, but if it for copy & paste open up you irc client in a screen (let's face it, most people probably do anyway). That allows you to CTRL a ESC into copy mode, in which you can mosey around using vi keys, mark some text with space, then paste it with CTRL a ]
Unless you are in possession of great qualities of bandwidth, you only just saw the Episode I trailer on the big screen (like me, during "The Man Who Sued God" which I really did enjoy, pity it won't get an international audience).
DHCP ? Manpages. That's all I have to say. I never had a problem with it, and I have used it with all kinds of DHCP servers (including NT).
XFree86 4 compiles just fine if you grab the 'xsrc' tree from cvs or sup. Then you just:
cd xsrc/xfree/xc && make && make install
Now, that wasn't too hard, was it ? There are also binary packages on ftp.netbsd.org for i386. Try this directory:
/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/XF86-4.1.0-1.5.1/
I also disagree with you complaint that it 'shows' that it is not optimised. I find NetBSD quit fast on my desktop, and especially on my servers. Give me real world benchmarks showing me where it 'shows'.
Next time, try to sort these things out. It really wasn't rocket science.

Thank god that all of us here at Slashdot don't ever badmouth or try to undermine Microsoft. Those bastards.
True, but most of us here don't spend $25 million on doing so.

I don't pretend to know anything about "tasteful" usage, I just felt that ST was made a much better by the use of CGI.
BTW, it's not "rediculous". Pet hate. Buy a dictionary.
I think the fact that Starship Troopers is your example of a good example of CGI usage disqualifies your opinion immediately.
I think the fact that you offer no reasoning or evidence qualifies you as a troll immediately.

This has to be the best place to start: libnet homepage. This pagehas all the info and links you need.
Let's see... If someone in this thread links to a page thats super critical of scientology, could the scientologists go after slashdot too?
Go after slashdot again, you mean.
By the way, that old slashdot article is a great read, if you have forgotten all about these issues, read it again.

The emBSD Firewall seems to be right on track, and you can download it right now. I've not tried it, but it runs off a 32MB Compact Flash.

Still struggling to find one, here. How on earth did you burn 401k in 6 months? I mean, I could do it, but not if I had nothing coming in :)

Aside from bandwidth, what other amenities would make an apartment complex ideal for the high tech worker in the 21st Century?
More bandwidth!

I'm an idiot! ia64 != x86_64. Damn companies and their pet architectures!
NetBSD doesn't have ia64 yet. Of course, they are welcome to use the FreeBSD/ia64 low-level code as a starting point for a port...
Oh ? So what is this I see that was committed on June 19th?
