  1. Re:First Bill Gates mod! on Linux Conf 2004 Gives in Many Ways · · Score: 1

    They must have done it in Photoshop, because they weren't able to put all that cash flying around Bill's person in...

  2. Re:price on 64 Bit Athlon Notebooks Hit the Market · · Score: 1

    Didn't Dell have that issue with nonstandard ATX PSUs? PSU info

  3. Re:License? on GNOME/KDE Integration Gets A Few Boosts · · Score: 1

    Unless it's somehow possible to not require recompilation of any source, in which case it should be possible to just relink the object files differently.

    Disclaimer: I don't know how the integrator works, but if a relink is the only thing needed, it should be possible without sources.

  4. Re:we got r00t, d00d!!! on Linux 2.4.24 Release Fixes Root Vulnerability · · Score: 0, Troll

    Some patches would undo other patches and one of my friends ran Windows Update and it broke his ability to connect to the Internet.

    That's probably the most useful patch MS ever included in Windows Update.

  5. Re:Sic Semper Spammeris on Virginia Arrests Man For Spamming · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of that quote attributed to Voltaire, "I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it." (paraphrased)... misattributed quote

    ...but are probably irrelevant for many /. readers...

    So your car quite literally goes like a bomb, huh :)

  8. SCO on Are Linux Zealots Terrorists? · · Score: 0, Troll

    SCO sucks anyway ;)

  9. Re:PEBCAK on IRC Networks Unite in Fight Against Fizzer Worm · · Score: 1

    I could always try and go into reverse while driving along at 80mph. Makes a lovely grinding noise, so the user would usually give up rather than fight the sync :) (Yay for manual transmissions!)

  10. Re:IRC dying? Nah. on IRC Networks Unite in Fight Against Fizzer Worm · · Score: 1

    http://irc.netsplit.de/networks/ That's a *lot* of users. Somehow I don't think they're all going to stop overnight.

  11. Re:mIRC on IRC Networks Unite in Fight Against Fizzer Worm · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Before we decided to actively get rid of them, we were attempting to see if we could do anything useful with them.

    Eventually we had more bots than real users on the network (we're only small, so about 700 bots). With the Unreal fizzer-blocking module, we're close to having set around 10,000 local zlines.

    Hopefully the admins on each network will notice them, and stop them being used for anything. After that, finding a way to remove the virus is less critical (if it becomes mostly useless).
