  1. Re:What's the appeal of IRC? on Oldest IRC Server Going Offline · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ah, yes, because god knows ham radio fans are never full of themselves.

  2. Re:DDOS Attacks and IRC on Oldest IRC Server Going Offline · · Score: 2

    That means the kiddies need more bandwidth to do the same thing (hey, sounds like a drug addiction ...).

    Sounds like an arms race, too.

  3. Re:Postal on Oz Government Seizes Games For "Full Classification" · · Score: 2

    http://www.gopostal.com/

    There's no download, but it's worth every damn penny. Basically, it's a semi-overhead view type game, and you play a psychopath who has to kill as many innocent bystanders as possible with a variety of weapons. It's like a sick version of Blood.

  4. Conduits on Wiring A New House? · · Score: 2

    Shielded conduits would be more useful. More expensive now, but makes it dead simple to upgrade ten years from now.

  5. Re:Well blahs all around on Four Kids Confess to Goner Worm · · Score: 2

    Tell your managers about how much it costs, instead of just how much effort it takes. Be sure to factor in your own pay, it makes the numbers bigger. Managers don't understand much, but they do understand money.

  6. Weather on Geminid Meteor Shower · · Score: 1

    I hope the weather is better for this shower. It was totally overcast where I live when the Leonids came around. And I even got up at 5am. What an unholy hour.

  7. Re:Same old... on Four Kids Confess to Goner Worm · · Score: 2, Troll

    Excellent point! After all, cracking down on drugs with harsh laws has made the drug trade stop.

  8. Re:Same old... on Four Kids Confess to Goner Worm · · Score: 2

    Actually, a better house analogy would be the story of the three little pigs. The first little company made their email client out of straw...

  9. Re:Maybe the reds... on World Copyright Treaty Coming soon · · Score: 2

    "Yes, at first I was excited to be learning how to read. It seemed exciting and magical. But then I read this -- Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I read every last word of this garbage, and because of this piece of shit, I'm never reading again."

    Officer Barbrady was a wise man. ;)

  10. Re:What goes around comes around.... on World Copyright Treaty Coming soon · · Score: 2

    Another step? I thought we reached that point long ago.

    Sigh. And now I'm all depressed because I'm remembering how much more Britney Spears CDs I sell at work than classical.

  11. Re:what about Gilles?! on World Copyright Treaty Coming soon · · Score: 2

    Oh, sure. Vote the BQ in. Your province would be part of the larger half of the country in a seperation situation. Just ignore us Maritimers. Don't worry, we don't mind. We've been treated like shit so often we're used to it.

    By the way, thanks for helping out with increased transfer payments to improve our dead ecomony. After all, we helped you folks out in the great depression with loads of food so you wouldn't starve.

    Oh, what's that? Right! You didn't help out with increased transer payments. Well, I suppose it doesn't matter. We're used to being treated like shit. Don't worry, go back to your booming economy and good ecomony. We'll just quietly sit here and work for our minimum wage jobs seasonal jobs and hope a future federal government takes pity on us by improving transfer payments so we can cut our taxes so companies decide to start *real* jobs here.

  12. Re:marketeers.... on The Successor To Popunder Ads? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Didn't you know? "Platform agnostic" means it works on Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 and even XP!

  13. Re:Use Lynx, then you won't have a problem... on The Successor To Popunder Ads? · · Score: 2

    Amen to that. I cheered the day that I found Opera and ditched Netscape forever. A small, efficient, full-featured graphical X browser that doesn't have the bloat of Konquerer or the instability of Mozilla? A beautiful piece of software. The folks at Opera deserve every dollar I've given them, and more. Here's hoping for their success. :)

  14. Re:American Companies Prohibited on Ancient Sunken City Discovered Off Shores of Cuba. Maybe · · Score: 2

    Don't worry, there's probably some nice submerged ruins off the coast of China (the most favoured trading nation of the US) for them to explore. Darn good thing that those nice guys in charge of China are nowhere near as repressive and evil as that damn Castro.

  15. Re:What geological phenomena could sink 2000 feet on Ancient Sunken City Discovered Off Shores of Cuba. Maybe · · Score: 2

    Either it found a place to roost, or it simply dropped dead of overexertion and fell into the water. Ever heard of Occam's Razor? ;)

  16. Re:...or rewrite from scratch on The LDP and Debian · · Score: 2

    Ditto. Half my college education consisted of technical writing courses. User manuals, business plans, development documents, deliverable lists, etc. I thought I could write some documentation to help people out, since I'm a pretty crappy programmer and really like good documentation. I go to check out the LDP, with the same results as you.

    And now someone's going to attack me for not supporting the movement and giving up and selling out and being lazy. Come on, you LDP drones. What's wrong with plain text or man pages or html? Bring on the flames.

  17. Re:(OT) Slack with 2.4.x on The LDP and Debian · · Score: 2, Informative

    What problems would those be? I've done a dozen Slack 8 installs on various machines, and they all work perfectly.

  18. Postal on Oz Government Seizes Games For "Full Classification" · · Score: 2

    If they thought GTA3 was bad, I wonder what they'd think of Postal and it's sequel?

  19. Re:True to some extent on Latest WinWorm Spreads Via ICQ And Outlook · · Score: 2

    This got me thinking. Has anyone tried to mate sshd with icq? With proper security (maybe an ssh client plugin?), it would be extremely useful for those of us with fascist ISPs that change user IPs with every connection (thus making dynamic IP services almost useless). Time to scour freshmeat and sourceforge...

  20. Re:At first on Porting Debian to... Windows · · Score: 2

    A Win32 port of Gimp? You mean like this?

  21. Re:/. is still safe on CA Court: Message Boards Are Opinions, Not Facts · · Score: 2

    Definitely Saruman. ESR would be Gandalf.

  22. Re:Gigantic moral issues on Japan to Allow Human-Nonhuman Mixed Cloning · · Score: 2

    You are an athiest... Therefore you belive that there is no God.

    No, an atheist does not believe in devine entities. Subtle yet important difference.

  23. Re:The origin of OpenBSD on OpenBSD 3.0 Release, Interview with Theo · · Score: 1

    Hope we have more failures like Theo in the Open Source community....

    Amen to that. OpenBSD is the very reason I'm got interested in BSD in the first place. 'Course, I'm a proud back-bacon-and-poutine-eating canuck with a paranoid crypto fetish, too.

    Thanks, Theo!

    Dealing with him is probably a chore, but a worthwhile one.

    Are you volunteering?

    How about drunk-driving laws?
