Dave Chappelle loves World of Warcraft
Famed and elusive comic praises Blizzard's popular MMORPG at San Francisco nightclub appearance.
After indefinitely abandoning work on his hit Chappelle's Show, comedian Dave Chappelle absconded to South Africa to escape the fallout. Since returning to the US, he has made several unannounced appearances at Los Angeles comedy clubs, and this week played two little-publicized shows at the Punchline in San Francisco.
At his San Francisco gigs, Chappelle revealed he has also been getting away to a place farther off than Johannesburg--Azeroth, no less. Attendees to Chappelle's Tuesday night show said the comedian voiced his love of a certain popular MMORPG from Blizzard Entertainment.
"You know what I've been playing a lot of?" the comedian reportedly asked the crowd. "World of Warcraft!" When a few cheers broke out, he reportedly responded, "I knew I had some geek brothers and sisters up in here!" Chappelle also was said to have expressed his amusement seeing WoW characters with names referring to his most famous sketches, including a rogue with a name inspired by the famous "I'm Rick James, B****" sketch
If Linux is so bad, I can't seen it as a developer nor as an end user. As a matter of fact, if Linux was so bad, how come these benchmarks show Linux 2.6 outpeforming openBSD?
I see a lot of these exploits being used to "zombie" systems, allowing these exploited systems to participate in distributed denial of service attacks. This clogs up internet routers which in turn slows everyone down.
I'm not going to say that open source is completely free of these vulnerabilities, however, it seems to me that open source software has a better model of fixing these problems.
On the other side of the coin, there is the argument that ubiquity of software allows for more exploits. I've been in debates where people claim, "Firefox is just as vulnerable, it's just not as ubiquitous as IE, therefore you don't hear/read about exploits under Firefox." While there may be some truth to that, I still argue that with an open source model, vulnerabilities are spotted, patched, and released faster than closed source software (which makes sense since open source allows for a lot more brains to look at the problem, as opposed to a closed source model where only a limited number of brains can deal with the problem).
On a completely different coin, it seems to me that people who use open source software today are more computer saavy anyway, or at least knowledgable enough to know what an exploit is and how best to deal with them.
And on the other side of the different coin, GNU/Linux (probably the most ubiqitous open source OS) is not standardized. If I were writing an exploit, I would definitely not target GNU/Linux because they are not homogenized. An exploit that works on one distro, probably will not work on another. However, since the registry works the same on every windows machine, as well as all Windows machines having the same file structure (Everything you need to exploit is in C:\System32 - or something like that), this make Windows a more attractive platform for me to hack.
Of course, this is mostly speculation, or I could be full of crap, or both.

ya i guess you could consider this evil...i am assuming you mean it's evil putting extra load on a web server.

Instantiates multiple http "GET" requests so that the browser establishes multiple TCP connections to the webserver to pull pages down faster. I believe the proprietary browser "Opera" does this as well.
The cat is out of the bag. Pandora's box has been open. Pick any cliche, because when the average Joe can simply "point and click" to get music for free, I bet Joe wouldn't pay a penny. There is too much overhead in paying for goods and services (music) on the internet, while there is little to no overhead in downloading it for free with some P2P client.
Any scheme to recover costs from the consumer (in the context of music) can never outcompete the cost of zero cents.
Once you tell people you are work with computers, you become their personal computer technician when their Windows machines get clogged up by spyware. You could just charge for it.
That problem can always be solved by extending from a central server model to a more distributed model. There are plenty of implementations of distributed systems already that can handle the load.
Have the virus record timestamps, hops, path, etc. Then have the virus relay the data to a central server and delete itself. That should garnish a LOT of information.
* Reiser4 is the fastest filesystem, and here are the benchmarks.
* Reiser4 is an atomic filesystem, which means that your filesystem operations either entirely occur, or they entirely don't, and they don't corrupt due to half occuring. We do this without significant performance losses, because we invented algorithms to do it without copying the data twice.
* Reiser4 uses dancing trees, which obsolete the balanced tree algorithms used in databases (see farther down). This makes Reiser4 more space efficient than other filesystems because we squish small files together rather than wasting space due to block alignment like they do. It also means that Reiser4 scales better than any other filesystem. Do you want a million files in a directory, and want to create them fast? No problem.
* Reiser4 is based on plugins, which means that it will attract many outside contributors, and you'll be able to upgrade to their innovations without reformatting your disk. If you like to code, you'll really like plugins....
* Reiser4 is architected for military grade security. You'll find it is easy to audit the code, and that assertions guard the entrance to every function.
V3 of reiserfs is used as the default filesystem for SuSE, Lindows, FTOSX and Gentoo. We don't touch the V3 code except to fix a bug, and as a result we don't get bug reports for the current mainstream kernel version. It shipped before the other journaling filesystems for Linux, and is the most stable of them as a result of having been out the longest. We must caution that just as Linux 2.6 is not yet as stable as Linux 2.4, it will also be some substantial time before V4 is as stable as V3.
"What tools do you use that make your admin responsibilities easier..."
gcc
Luckily, some people wrote some code that compiled under that gcc tool thingy...code like...
iptables
nfsd
samba
cupsd
cron
snort
I agree, it sounds like SkArcher is trying to chastise you because you didn't use google. I think your first point was VERY valid.
His response simply makes him look like an idiot.
I guess if SkArcher worded it differenly I could accept it, but his rhetoric, sentence structure, choice of words, make him seem to be an elitist.
It simply looks as if SkArcher just learned about HTML and wanted to post links in a message:)

I wonder if this tool will make the peeps in Homeland Security go nuts.

because I'd like to say to him/her, "you're a complete idiot." How do you confuse Lynx for a hack attempt?
gawd...blah blah blah...how cliche.
You just HAD to be the first geek to talk about the "OLD" days...
you know what tho...NOONE CARES!
from the changelog:
" * - Fixed cublic spline interpolation. It should actually save the option now! [pagefault] "
Why would curve interpolation be needed in an emulator?

Apparently the dangers of allowing applications to access the raw sockets have been addressed to Microsoft in that past.
According to Steve Gibson (Gibson Research Corporation), he had pleaded with Microsoft in the past and was completely blown off.

I think he deserves to say, "I f***ing told you so!\n"

The problem is that they (RIAA) cannot control the new medium (the Internet).
