  1. Re:Who would have thought ? on Mac Trojan Horse Disguised as Word 2004 · · Score: 1

    It would be some sort of irony if the person had made the trojan really large like say 650MB os so. Then this luser could have said well it looked like it was large enough.

    Imagine though spending the time to dl a 650MB file just to have it earse your files.

    I don't know. This whole story is fitting somehow.

    You have got to laugh at people like this.

  2. This was the subject of... on Project Grizzly Bear-Proof Suit Up For Auction · · Score: 3, Informative

    A discovery show. The guy that made this suite did all these tests and made all these redesigns. He would say, if this suite can handle a cinder block released from X feet it can surely handle a Grizzly.

    The funny thing was he kept on making all these tests and statements that it would simulate an actual attack but he never "put his money where his mouth was" At least when they invited the metal mesh suite for shark attacks someone tried it out.

    If any one actually saw the program they can attest to how unscientifically this whole testing affair was carried out. It was almost comical. Their was a test as mentioned above with where they man stood in the suite while his two assistants (a term I use lightly) attached a cinder block or similar item to a rope and hung it from a branch. They would pull it back/higher in stages. At one point one of the assistants thought he heard the man in the suite say go all the way and let it go, when it was only supposed to be a marginal increase. Like I said it looked like something out of the Beverly Hillbillies.

  3. Re:Small correction... on SuSE 9.1 Available for Download · · Score: 1

    /. is becoming more like main stream news media.

    The Headline says SuSE 9.1 avalibile for download. Would it have killed them to make the title read SuSE 9.1 Live evaluation avalible for download.

    No.

    Besides, I've had the live eval of 9.1 for a week or two now. This is not realy current news is it...

  4. Re:Still no full install ISOs.... on SuSE 9.1 Available for Download · · Score: 1

    Everytime SuSE releases a new version people get on the topic of ISO's. This hasn't been a problem for me as I have never had a problem with and FTP install. The FTP install has the advantage that it doesn't waste bandwidth downloading stuff you don't need.

    If the ISO's still bother you, I'm sure you can find someone somehwhere who has posted them.

    Were they right in suggesting that it is possible or were the right in that they had the method to make it work?

    This isn't some 3rd grade math test. You need to show your work when making claims like this. Just because you have the right answer doesn't mean is wasn't a wild ass guess.

    They used some crappy template and when you click on market it has a single line that states "Our market content here"

    An AC said it best. He is a sales man afterall.
    honest and displays a fair comparison between products

    When does any sales person do the above. He is out to make his companies product look better than any other, thats what SuSE paid him to do and thats what Microsoft will pay him to do. I love SuSE, it's been the only distro I use for years but even I can;t say anything bad about this or put this guy up for any honesty award.

    This post makes me think of my favorite book that was turned in to a movie that most say wasn't good. Dune. Sci-fi just redid the first two books and I think they are worse than the David Lynch version.

    Equilibrium - Unfortunately, it isn't a particularly good film.

    I thought it was a good film my friends all like it as well. The comparison I use is that it's a mix between F451 and Brave New World. Like it or not I think you'd have to admit the cleric's had fat rides though...
