Why don't we turn all of our computers into giant moonshine stills! And since alcohol is a better coolant than water it would work better too! Just think about it, free hooch and a cooler CPU to boot...
If the cops ever come around you'll have an iron clad alibi... Uh guys, I'm innocent of all charges, I'm just cooling my CPU really really...
(South China Morning Post) [11.15.99] There are red faces all around at Canada's spy organisation after top-secret documents were stolen from the back seat of an agent's car.
In what is being described as the most serious security breach in 20 years, documents outlining the future plans of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) were stolen last month by drug addicts while the agent was watching an ice-hockey game in Toronto.
The thieves were apparently looking for money when they saw a briefcase in the car parked outside the arena where the Toronto Maple Leafs play.
And a police investigation has concluded that the sensitive documents were later tossed into a rubbish bin and ended up in a landfill site.
The CSIS, which was formed in 1984, is responsible for counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism efforts in Canada.
The agency, which is charged with guarding the Government's deepest secrets, is extremely embarrassed by the lapse.
CSIS officials were trying to play down the importance of the documents, saying they contained no details of intelligence sources or specifics of operations.
But an agency official was forced to conclude "we consider the loss of the documents to be a serious matter of national security".
It is not the first time the CSIS has slipped up. Earlier this autumn, there were reports that one of its spooks had posted on the Internet the names and pictures of Canadian fighter pilots who served in the Balkans war.
In another incident, a computer disc containing the names of targets of CSIS intelligence probes was found by a member of the public.
"This is simply a debacle," said Jim Abbott, an MP with the opposition Reform Party. "We look like we are in amateur hour."
But even as cartoonists and satirists feasted on the story, there were warnings that Canada's spy agency was now seriously compromised. The country is not a specific target for terrorists but it proximity to the United States and its open access to banking and telecommunications make it attractive to terrorist groups.

I have been using chroot for many years, mostly with the big three (Apache bind and sendmail). However, I would never rely solely on chroot for security.
It is rediculous to do a Maxwell Smart and put 10 locks on your front door when the window is wide open. You are always better to rely upon a locked box, inside a locked box, inside a locked box etcetera, Rather than OUMF lock!
OUMF??? you say (new proposed acromyn)... Just think of Arnie in Predator when he says to the alien "You're one ugly mother f......"
My bet is on the fat-bastard-double-crossing geek Dennis Nedry -- he was probably so full of preservatives from all of the junk food he ate that he never decayed...
Nobel prize my ass. Fur smart people, they sure is dum... The reel deal is the Darwin Award. It stands for the best of thee best, cream o' the crop, britest one on da porch... Ya know what I mean?
Say.... when did this happen? My printers did the same thing! perhaps at the same time! and on the same planet! Eureeka! that is the true nature of the virus: to f*ck-up printers everywhere and do a DOS on user support/helpdesk people.
We have a vigiliante group in my town that is running a "Shame the John's" campaign. The target is the John's who get caught with their pants down literally.
Why won't this work for the advertisers who advertise by spam. It is really easy to track them down as they can't hide because no one would be able to order their crap without a valid address and phone number!
A few years back an alien space ship picked me up and were taking me to their home planet. Well about the time we got to Venus I had to fart. I figured since these guys didn't have any noses they would'nt smell anything, so I cracked one off. Was I wrong! those guys were really pissed that I polluted their spaceship. They immediately vented the stench in the Venetian atmosphere and took me back home. This "gas" that this scientist discovered actually eeked out my butt and is floating around venus. And if the scientist does further analysis, he will find that it was produced by two beef and bean burrito's from Taco Bell. So there you have it.
"Nobody will ever need more than 256MB or RAM and nobody will ever need more than 2Ghz of processing power!"
Processors have always increased in speed at a constant rate (Moore's law takes care of that) and some coders depend on Moore's law to fix the performance problems caused by their god awful, ill concieved programming logic. (go bubble sort!)
WTF?? who would send a keep-alive signal every 10 packets?? Since they are being charged by the packet this is what it would work out to. Even RIP is more efficient than that!
I sometimes work from home and there is no way I would want my boss to see me in my underwear! I not sure which way he swings for one...
Seriously, the absolute best thing about working from home not dressed, is having your girlfriend work from your home too (again, not dressed). Now if you ever mix up the full-mo with the still image button when your boss phones, you're screwed while your being screwed... I mean that would really fu*k up your day!
Finding a needle in a haystack is easy if you have a big electromagnet... In this case our elctromagent is their present coordinates and their trajectory.
From the website: The Voyagers should cross the heliopause 10 to 20 years after reaching the termination shock. The Voyagers have enough electrical power and thruster fuel to operate at least until 2020. By that time, Voyager 1 will be 12.4 billion miles from the Sun and Voyager 2 will be 10.5 billion miles away.
If man does not blow-up the planet, be obliterated by any plausible environmental catastrophe. It is very likely that man will eventually travel much faster and further than Voyager ever will.
Assuming the above - Now what happens when we catch up with it? do we let it go on its merry way (dead or alive) or do we put it in a museum?
Perhaps some spacecomber will put it up on an ebay auction and NASA has to send in the FBI to get it back...
They interview you! at least the really good ones do...
Trust me, if the programmer is begging for a job then he is not worth his salt. If the programmer is making all sorts of demands then the one asking for the the most outgragous remuneration package gets the job!
but hey, even if the guy can't program worth beans, at least you can say one thing about them, they've got hutzpah! and they will go far in the company...
When the porn industry starts using CG then I'll believe it. And I'm not talking that bug-eyed big-boobed anime crap! I mean stuff so real your mind cannnot tell it is faked. If the porn industry did CG using today's technology, it would be like watching an actor with a blow-up doll - damn funny but not realistic.
Face it, the porn industry is behind every major technology development just look to the Internet and see what is paying for all that bandwidth (you got it - porn). Who was first to foray into VCR's and DVD's? (right again - porn). see the pattern...
I don't tend to watch porn, I watch what the porn industry is doing with technology. This is so I don't go and buy technology ( e.g. beta or 8-track that never caught on except in Arkansas and the Ozarks)

I know what the thread is about. But anything that makes linux sound better is a step in the right direction...
Crappy insult. I know that I need a sound card to produce audio. If you want to insult me call me an idiot, moron, butthead or Anonymous Coward, which covers the first three.

If your an anesthetist, do you get to check if she is a real redhead before the operation? Cause, I mean that would be a really cool job!
How can this be called redundant when it was posted first? The first post is always the original!! all the ones that come later are redundant!

When some enterprising young geek (or geekette) puts linux on the thing, installs Apache, puts the unit on the WWW and posts the Eureeka! on /.
From everyone's perspective "It was worth the effort"
