Why the fuck is my comment off topic? Like it or not everyone should be read; no matter. This was not a troll, I just asked why? Why it was marked with a -1? what other venue could I asked in?
First I can't beleive I am going to say this, but...
This is GPL it involves me almost as much as it involves Bruce. I respect Bruce but he does not represent me. This is a G motherfucking Public Goddamn License. I need to know. Face it; this is the best protection we have.
Not some Court, or Lawyer, But Shame Shame will be our best defense, as this becomes more common. Closed source must allways be viewed with a jaundice eye, Corporations can't be Friends they are designed for one purpose to make money. They are not evil, but one must be wary of them.
Nice people don't steal, They are stealing from you, why play nice?
Actualy I am hoping that the Microsoft as a wipping boy issue will go away.
If it's not Microsoft It WILL be someone else, there is no such thing as a Benevolent Dictator, If it's not Microsoft who next? Why do we think that Microsoft will be replaced by somthing better, if it's closed source?
The more I work in the IT industry the more I realize Closed source is the problem. Now I never thought about myself as a Stallman want-to-be but damn it he is right!
Think about it this way, most of the time my job is to go around trying to find work arounds to closed source software, be it Windows or LINUX. I never thought of myself as a developer but because I needed to fix something one way or another I have become one. Open source makes this possible (To fix things), Closed source has made me write hacky code to fix bugs or workarounds. Or my least favorite thing to say "it's a bug, deal with it." I prefer to fix things, not add another layer of kludge. It's time to get off of the Microsoft crutch, and look at the real problem, the real enemy, closed source.
The point is not install all the packages, it's to install the right one, and keep it up to date. The last Slackware box I had, got rooted because of a old daemon, now before you say it's my fault, it was not, bugtraq was a day late and a dollar short for me, the version was several version older, then at that time the current release. To update and compile would of taken more time then I had. Much less know that there was a buffer overflow (I do read Bugtraq); I was far from a expert on that daemon (IMAP4). Now I leverage Debian package system(With apt-get update and apt-get install), and the maintainers expertise (Someone who knows more about IMAP then I ever want too), and read Bugtraq. As config files go, knowing at least how config is two thirds of the battle. Much less I admin much more then just one box try compiling for 10 and tell me your current and configured correctly.
I started Linux with slackware, Late 92, early 93 for at least a couple of years Slackware was Linux to me; my informitve Linux years. I wanted to thank you for that.
You have been involved for a very long time in Linux years. How do you feel about the meshing of th "Old days" and what Linux is now? Most Slash posters, where not around Linux back then, can you talk about what where the problems you had then and now? I think most people forget how much of Linux was/is the Distro and how much of Linux's early success is because of Slackware, can you comment?
Will this be folded into Debian Potato's US distro? Are there issues redistributing? I rather hope not; I am writing this with plain M14 and liking it lots.
Yep my Novell server kick the shit out of about anything, Novell rocks with Gigabit. Still I think it's the Bus and hard drives that is keeping my server from it's full gigabit potential. My old Gigabit switch was realitvaly slow, a Intel 510T, it also had lots of problems. One day at about 10 AM it just died I was freaked. Need a switch bad, so I got the only on I could find RIGHT NOW. A Summit 48 from Extreme Networks. Now thats a swich I can't push around. It also cost 4 times what the 510T cost.:>
gigabit ethernet for LANs doesn't help much.

True and not true, I have gigabit, using fiber, to a realy great switch, Performance to the 100 Mbit workstations is OK; I know that the poor server, was weezing when only 100Mbit, and now the server rarely gets over 10% cpu utilization. The Disks are what is holding it back now (I think). now one of my Linux boxs has fiber too, and when I transfer files between it and the server, then it groans a little. I always thought the Yellowfin card was a little suspect, or maybe the NCP tools, I am not sure and of course the workstation don't bother it either.
The thing is Gigabit is nice, Gigabit is fast, but most certainly not a cure all, faster hard drives lots and lots of a faster kind of RAM and MUCH faster bus would be a much better cure.
The first Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles.... It was a, parody of Frank Millers: Ronin and daredevil. Ronin, was a realy cool comic, that Frank Miller did in the mid 80's. The parody was inspired, and almost as good as the original.
No it's not, and the comment is kinda silly. "Multiple Source Denial of Service" (MS-DOS) Has been around for a while, I read about last year, and thought about it before. The guy who wrote the detector has documented it pretty well much better then I could. What is kinda scary is that it could realy be Script Kiddies behind it. The Code is not half as evil as it could be.
I am usualy of the opinion that feeding trolls is a bad thing; but this is unique. Maybe someone will post it as a article. Then I guess it would not be a troll anymore, Oh the irony!
After meeting Gibson about 12 years ago, I rather thought that first he thought most of his readers where idiots. One of the questions I had was "What other writers influenced you?" His comment was "Thomas Pynchon, but I am sure you have never heard of him." Um I thought... I had just read, V and had read Gravity's Rainbow years before, and I realized that:
A He did not think much of his "fans". B He was truly an asshole. C He was not half as clever as he wants to be.
I have read everything sense this through glasses tinted with A, B and C.

take a look at this for a example It's a patch to 2.2.12 /src/linux-2.2.12/fs/jfs Or in other words, I could have jfs support in 2.2.12 RIGHT NOW! But here is the real FULL MEAL DEAL take a look at this wonderful little app that is included in the patch!

I know this is in bad taste but I want to work where you work. Damn a boss with a sense of hummor. Just hope it does not get to the last item on that list or it would be a mistake.

This is open source and all; is there any reason not to just hack out the names?

Eating the pudding would be interactive? No?
Try harder, analogies and sarcasm, sheesh.
Think lime green jello, a bathtub, and two frisky teenagers. Now thats interactive!
Think Castaways, a desert island, Skipper, Giligan,....

Considering I posted this from a potato box running M14 it's not that frozen :>
I think you mean released distro instead.
Will this be folded into Debian Potato's US distro?
Are there issues redistributing?
I rather hope not; I am writing this with plain M14
and liking it lots.
Um did you look at the hardware and cost of that product? silly troll or just moronic? you decide.
I have to admit this is:
very funny,
very off topic,
the best post under this subject so far.
Kinda sad isn't it? it's a great topic deserving better comments.
Yep my Novell server kick the shit out of about anything, Novell rocks with Gigabit. :>

Sorry about the tangents.

It was a, parody of Frank Millers: Ronin and daredevil.
Ronin, was a realy cool comic, that Frank Miller did in the mid 80's.

Spoon!!!!!
I hope it's cool, I miss the Tick cartoons.
And no I don't have cable. :
No it's not, and the comment is kinda silly.
"Multiple Source Denial of Service"
(MS-DOS) Has been around for a while, I read about last year, and thought about it before.
The guy who wrote the detector has documented it pretty well much better then I could.
What is kinda scary is that it could realy be Script Kiddies behind it.
The Code is not half as evil as it could be.
Agreed: well reasoned, and just enough depth to validate his points.
I am usualy of the opinion that feeding trolls is a bad thing; but this is unique.

take a look at this for a example
It's a patch to 2.2.12
/src/linux-2.2.12/fs/jfs
Or in other words, I could have jfs support in
2.2.12 RIGHT NOW!
But here is the real FULL MEAL DEAL
take a look at this wonderful little app that is included in the patch!
/src/linux-2.2.12/fs/jfs/utils/mkfs$ ls
initmap.c initmap.o inodemap.h inodes.c inodes.o makefile mkfs.o
initmap.h inodemap.c inodemap.o inodes.h make.jfs mkfs.c
They include a make.jfs!
I could have JFS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
Amazing!
Or in other words IBM is more then Just talking about open source.
Hmmm.....
I know this is in bad taste but I want to work where you work.
Damn a boss with a sense of hummor.
Just hope it does not get to the last item on that list or it would be a mistake.
Moderate up please.
Umm, I love my K7, it is the fastest PC I have seen running Linux.
Can you be more specific?
What the flying fuck does this have to do about Linux?
If you think somthing is a "hodgepodge" it the distro's not "Linux"
EG
Debian is not a "hodgepodge" it is not "insecure"
My two favorite BSDisms. Robust can be argued, maybe.
If I install or configure any Unix based system poorly. It will be insecure. Linux, BSD, even NT.
I don't critize BSD, but then again I don't use BSD ethier. If you use these kind of arguments, your doing BSD a DISERVICE!
Badly reasoned argments make me disbelieve that person's cause.
I realy hate to say this but I am kinda glad that your back from the dead.
But with that statement it begs this question..
Can MEEPT repress his innate MEEPT-ness; or will it spire into complete banality like last time?
If it's banal, stop now, obsessive-compulsive is not good for you, or slashdot.
