  1. Re:Lawsuits... on SCO Prepares To Sue Linux End Users · · Score: 1

    Any idea where I can get in on this?

  2. Fuck You on The Economics Of Spamming · · Score: 1

    On behalf of all sensible users on the internet, and myself, I'd like to say:

    FUCK YOU.

    Thanks.

  3. Unofficial bittorrents mentioned... Here they are on Gentoo 1.4 Final Released · · Score: 1

    These were mentioned in the post but not actually pointed at.

    Hop on!

  4. Default CFLAGS In gentoo is not common on Measuring The Benefits Of The Gentoo Approach · · Score: 1

    In a "typical" install of Gentoo, the CFLAGS are changed significantly.

    Mine are quite aggressive, and possibly redundant and maybe silly. But it is definately faster than any other distro I have ever had on here, in every single way.

    Please, spare the comments about what may be redundant etc. Works For Me. BRILLIANTLY!

    CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fexpensive-optimizations -fomit-frame-pointer
    -D__SMP__ -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse,387"

  5. Korea? Yyyeah. on U.S. Imposes Big Tariffs On Korean Chipmakers · · Score: 0, Troll

    Any system or router I admin blocks this: 211.0.0.0/8 .

    Fuck Korea. Ricer picker security, as I once heard it called.

  6. Me Too on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Uh, obligatory Me Too post.

  7. Re:BitTorrent ISO Download on Gentoo Games · · Score: 1

    I have the ISO. I have bittorrent. I have that file. I want to help people DOWNload it, what do I do?

    People keep telling me "run bittorrent" or something similar. This is 100% useless to me because, let's face it, BT's docs suck a big one.

    There are a bunch of different bt*.py scripts on my system, WHAT exactly do I need to do? My open port is 29999.

    Makes it hard to help when it's so hard to get f*ckin help.

  8. Worked in Phoenix [Was: Re:Excellent!!] on Prince of Pop-ups · · Score: 1

    See topic, for I am a lazy bastard even though this took longer than to re-type the Subject... err.

  9. I'm Glad It Isn't Easy on Petreley On Simplifying Software Installation for Linux · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm glad it isn't easy. I like a challenge, even if it takes longer, even at work.

    I'm glad it isn't brainless. I'm glad it's different across distros. Then I can pick and choose what I like.

    The less each distro is like any other, the happier I am.

    This is why I enjoy Linux.

  10. No One Who Will Be Missed on AOL Blocks Telstra Bigpond Mail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    See Subject line.

  11. Accidental Shift-refresh on http://www.sco.com/ on SCO Threatens Red Hat and SuSE · · Score: 1

    Accidentally going to http://www.sco.com/ and accidentally holding shift and accidentally hitting your refresh button a few accidental times might accidentally cost someone money.

    Accidents happen. Did I accidentally spell accidentally wrong?

  12. E17 screenshots on State of the E-nion · · Score: 1

    First off, that page doesn't work anymore:

    "ERROR: Forum not found"

    Second, I have some E17 screenshots up.

    http://fire-eyes1.darktech.org/gal/e17-cvs

    I ask that you not view too many of the full sized versions, which show up if you click the thumnail, then click the result again.

  13. Version Number War == Big Dick Contest on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    I swear. These huge version number jumps seem like big dick contests.

    I was disappointed when slackware joined that, and hell they're already at 9.

    Not that it really matters to me, after all I'm a Gentoo whore now.

    This seems insanely silly, because we'll be at versions 20 of distros that are playing the Version Number Cock War game(tm).

  14. If this is true, loose me as a customer on Office Depot: Windows XP Apps Must Be Microsoft-Approved · · Score: 1

    If this is true, I will never buy anything from them again.

    Off to send a short email to them saying that, politely.

  15. Good to see on EA, Eidos Have No Plans for Xbox Live · · Score: 0, Insightful

    I'm happy to see this. Finally companies are getting tired of MS trying to shove them into doing things the MS way, and taking action.

    Keep it up guys.

  16. SIPRNET / NIPRNET , jerky... on Feds Move to Secure Net · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Uh, look up what SIPRNET and NIPRNET are... been around for a long long time...

  17. Blank in Mozilla on Music Industry's Future Foretold in China? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This page comes up with what looks like a framework of a page, but zero actual content in Mozilla.

    Nice.

  18. Re:Quoth on U of Wyoming Fingerprinting All P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

    That is another good point. With SSL or some such, as I just posted about in another post, source AND destination port randomization would be another great thing. Maybe some random padding in the packet header too, and you're all set.

  19. What Operating System on Cracker Gains Access to 2.2 Million Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    I would be curious to know what operating system these people are using.

  20. Re:I like this guy, but... on JWZ Reviews Video on Linux · · Score: 1

    If they can't deal with command line, Linux is not the OS for them.

    Sure some distros try to pretend command line/shell doesn't exist, but it's shitty.

    Linux is a techinical operating system. It isn't for grannies, etc.

  21. Re:High Power RF @ Microwave Freqs == Heat on U.S. Air Force Developing Microwave Weapon · · Score: 1

    Cute all the redundant moderations, when no one else mentioned it.

    Gotta be a few fudgepacking idiots in any group, i guess.

  22. High Power RF @ Microwave Freqs == Heat on U.S. Air Force Developing Microwave Weapon · · Score: 1, Redundant

    High power radio frequency emissions, especially at microwave frequencies, equals heat in flesh. Especially since it has water and that heats up, a lot.

    Don't beleive me? Stick a slab of bacon in your microwave. That's likely 500 - 2000 Watts.

    EMP weapons are typically hundreds of megawatts (million watts), and the high end ones are in the gigawatt range (billion watts). Throw in that they'll be using an extremely directional antenna, and the effective radiated power could start at hundreds of megawatts into even the low terrawatts (trillions of watts).

    You can take a common fighter aircraft's radar, aim it a nearby bird and in a few seconds it will fall out of the sky, dead. And that's 5 - 40 KWatts, effective is of course more.

    Harmless to humans. Yeah, okay. Go ahead and stand near one of these, go for it! Be a gerbil.

    OOPS! That's what the US government uses the military for! Couldn't forget about that, could we?

  24. Not Surprisng - Welcome To The 2000's on Judge Rules that Kazaa can be Sued · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In the days that gun manufacturers can be sued for what gun owners do, this is not a surprise.

    Personal responsibility is out the window, and I don't see it ever coming back.

  25. iPod + ogg support would == customer on Apple's Present: iTunes Supports Ogg Files · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Although it sounds like this acticle as actually bunk, if iPod supported ogg, they'd pick me up as a customer pretty damn fast.
