  1. Re:bloody hell on Snag the Red Hat 9 ISOs, via Cash or BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I would say that this avoids the payment (thus revenue channel) for RH and is not a 'correct' copy and has been pirated.

    I understand the GPL etc perfectly, and that is exactly why I feel this is morally wrong.

  2. remember.... on Paypal Charged Under PATRIOT Act · · Score: 4, Informative

    PayPal = Ebay

    Just keep that in mind when boycotting PayPal by buying your stuff from ebay using nochex :)

  3. bloody hell on Snag the Red Hat 9 ISOs, via Cash or BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough most software is out there on P2P networks, just some people are prepared not to be anally skinflintish/hypocritical - ie. slashdot saying pirate a copy of RH linux.

    Either cmdertaco's mate coded this new system and wants new users, or slashdot has just fallen a few more points in credibility...

  4. 2006? on Free IPv6 Subnets Are Going Away · · Score: 4, Funny

    2006? Who cares, we will all have jet cars by then...

  5. 2003? what about NOW? on Free IPv6 Subnets Are Going Away · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "...by July 1, 2006, with all 6bone prefixes fully reclaimed by the IANA," but there are a number of sub-deadlines along the way."

    would it not be more useful to name the closest deadline, not one three years away!?

    mmmm pissed @ boathouse chester.

  6. Leeds = Hell on Earth on Microsoft To Teach Undergrads About Secure Computing · · Score: -1, Troll

    They are also doing this at Hull Uni which is a hell of nicer place than Leeds.

    Check out the knowwhere guide's view on this horrible place.

    I would paste a quote, but there is too many... take a look and NEVER GO TO LEEDS!

  8. Backdoor? on Do You Write Backdoors? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "I had a recent experience where one of our group of programmers wrote backdoors on some web applications we were developing, so that he could gain access to the main hosting server when the application went live."

    Its like that theory that BAE /Mcdonnel-Douglas embedded the F15 Eagle fighter plane with a backdoor in its computer systems so if its ever used against the USA it will strangely malfunction.

    Unlikely, but interesting concept all the same!

  11. the article is from 1995 on Slashback: Compromise, Bugs, Slag · · Score: 5, Insightful

    with more on Bill Gates' comments on bugs in Microsoft's code

    Reading earlier someone (Presence2) stated:

    This interview occured in 1995.. don't you folks read? This was before 98,win2k,ME,XP and even NT was still OS2 in disguise. I'm sure Gates et al said a whole mess of stuff (128k memory?) that looking back now is ridiculus. Why drag a 7 year old article out for /. to rag on? - You're just sifting for dirt.

    Dont you even read users posts? Its amazing what you would learn ;)
