  1. Re:Er, not really puns. on Suck Stops Sucking · · Score: 1

    Must 1.suck to be 2.Suck. Therefore making 2 meanings (the slang term "to suck" and the name of the site "Suck") and no-one posts at Score:2 when they're trying to get mod points, especially when you've already gotten that Karma cap in yo ass (note: triple pun). And to think, it is often stated that the only humour americans understand is the pun.

  2. *anck* wrong on Slashback: Cables, Kernels, Crackers · · Score: 2

    Thank you very much for your piss poor attempt at pretending you know someone about anything. "Trojaning the sshd binary" might be useful if you are trying to backdoor a system but has about zero effectiveness for sniffing ssh passwords. What the "guy" in this case did was backdoor the ssh binary (that's the client son) on a number of boxen that he witnessed people using to connect to various high profile sites. Why anyone would use ssh on a remote machine to connect to another remote machine is beyond the comprehension of any person with even the beginnings of a clue, (which you obviously do not). Go ahead and use your silly one time passwords or various length authorization keys. If you're clueless enough to use ssh on a box that you dont control (which essentially means any box you dont have physical access to and has less of a configuration than a firewall and you dont just run any random shit on -- ie no box that you own) then it is only a matter of time before you are owned, along with every other poor sucker who happens to use the same box as you (well, I suppose it is conceivable that the box you are connecting to could actually be *gasp* secure but I doubt it). Just give in, you're owned before you even opened Introduction to Network Security 101.

    well they did offer to rodger me up the ass but, unlike your Mom, I kindly refused.

    your Mom.

    They sucked anyway. oh the puns, the puns!

  6. Re:Hands up.. on Slashback: Cables, Kernels, Crackers · · Score: 1

    There's this assumption that as an informed security concious user you know something about your own machine. If you dont then you might as well just telnet to the machine because you're beyond help.

  7. Slashback two weeks ago on Marvin Minsky: It's 2001. Where is HAL? · · Score: 4

    here. Thanks for playing.

  8. Re:I got a couple questions for him... on O'Reilly Sez Ask Craig Mundie · · Score: 1

    you couldn't pay me enough.

  9. Hands up.. on Slashback: Cables, Kernels, Crackers · · Score: 2

    everyone who knew that you should never ssh from any box that is not your desktop (and then only if it is known secure). Now hands down everyone who learnt this by reading the fucking manual. That's what I thought. Pitiful.

  10. Re:some would say on Iridium Offers Data service - IRC From Anywhere! · · Score: 1

    why not just go to a second hand gamestore? oh wait.

  11. Re:some would say on Iridium Offers Data service - IRC From Anywhere! · · Score: 1

    nah.. just force em at gun point to sign over the copyright.

  12. Re:some would say on Iridium Offers Data service - IRC From Anywhere! · · Score: 1

    you can run syndicate under win9x.. just run main, not synd.bat. I run it under vmware under linux so I should think you should be able to run it natively.

  13. Re:some would say on Iridium Offers Data service - IRC From Anywhere! · · Score: 2

    why not? That is the point of granting monopoly control to copyright holders: once they've sold it to everyone who wants to buy it the work is supposed to pass into the public domain. That is why copyright is granted for limited times. That is the intent and 50 years after the death of the author is just rediculous for computer games.

  14. shaken not stirred on Companies Abandon The Sinking Ship That Is SDMI · · Score: 1

    Bravo. Brilliant. :)

  15. Re:Why comment on Companies Abandon The Sinking Ship That Is SDMI · · Score: 1

    that's assuming that you dont have extensive resources, like, say, the NSA.

  16. Some people deserve all your hate. on Companies Abandon The Sinking Ship That Is SDMI · · Score: 1

    but in the end it is still wet.

  17. Ethics of job hopping on Employers Who Hold Back Their Employees? · · Score: 2
    If you want to job hop here are two things you should do:
    1. Take temporary work, or
    2. Give your current employer a chance to counter offer.

    But I've almost always jumped from job to job because I was bored, not for the money.
  18. customers have choice? on Companies Abandon The Sinking Ship That Is SDMI · · Score: 1

    Well, we'll just have to see what we can do about that now wont we?

  21. Re: not evil on The Rise of Corporate Global Power · · Score: 1

    That's because it is a premise. Something most people would agree upon. If you would like to argue about it, go ahead. I think this link adequately describes the effects of unions and that in the case of monopoly unions (who specifically do maximize wages at any cost) this argument holds. Is an "average worker" who seeks to maximize his/her wages at the cost of (for example) his/her fellow employees evil?

  24. Re: not evil on The Rise of Corporate Global Power · · Score: 1

    P2 is a false assumption, it is precisely this which makes "mom and pop" businesses preferable to their corporate counterparts. P3 is debatable. P4 is false, demonstratable that I knowly consume resources that I do not need to complete my job *cough* posting on slashdot *cough* therefore reducing profits. :)

  25. Re:IPS (Karma sink below) on The Rise of Corporate Global Power · · Score: 1

    Not to mention petty opportunism. You lived under those who claimed to support Marx's thesis and then went on to misquote him and twist his words for their own ends. Where are you living now? Aren't you settling for that?
