  1. Apocolypse Now Redux on Perl 6: Apocalypse 6 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is this the Apocolypse Now Redux I have heard about?

  2. Googlefight: SCO vs IBM on Playing with Google · · Score: 1
  3. Source code available? on Grand Theft Auto Released For Free · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't get to the site, so apologies if it's answered there.

    Are they releasing the source too, as I think ID did with Doom?

    That way we can kill processes by crashing into them. But seriously, if there is source released, we can get it ported to Linux.

    runas /profile /env /user:mydomain\admin "mmc %windir%\system32\dsa.msc"

    Am I the only one who says:
    WTF? That's horrible. Disgusting, even.

  5. Re:rootkit redundant. on Windows Rootkits · · Score: 1
    Microsoft applications always behave themselves properly,

    Haha, they've got you, hook line and sinker, haven't they? ;)

    When XP first came out, a new PC came with it preinstalled along with Office, and some other stuff.
    It used to bluescreen about every hour or two, and we got the local Microsoft-is-great-and-can-do-no-wrong guy to have a look.
    Straight to the Add/Remove programs he went. And then he exclaimed, Oh, but no wonder it's crashing - you've got all this third party stuff installed. If you stick with MS apps, you'll be fine.

    I almost laughed in his face.

  6. Re:Roots on Windows aren't as l337 on Windows Rootkits · · Score: 1

    6) Profit?

  7. DC++ on Convergence of P2P and Grid Predicted · · Score: 3, Interesting

    All my OS-disabled Windows using chums are banging on about an open source P2P app called DC++.

    It's open source, and all, but there isn't a Linux client. Any l33t coders out there that are bored should look at bringing this to the land of Linux.

    And yes, I understand the irony of calling them OS-disabled, and in the same breath complaining that my OS of choice doesn't have the same facility.

  8. Re:darn, you beat me to it on Router Holes in BGP Threaten Net · · Score: 1

    Now... think about how you connect in to fix one of those, if it doesn't stay up long enough for you to remote in. :)

    You dial in to the modem attached to the AUX port.

  9. Re:https? on Film Gimp Project Renamed to CinePaint · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    OK, so it's not self made.
    But can you specify *.slashdot.org? Surely you just put slashdot.org if you want to indicate all the hosts, and subdomains.

  10. https? on Film Gimp Project Renamed to CinePaint · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What's the purpose of the https link to the search?

    I could understand the privacy argument - if the results came back encrypted.

    Otherwise all it does is makes me have to click yes, I accept that faked certificate made with openssl ;)

  11. Re:Computers are just too fragile? on Computer Error Grounds Japanese Flights · · Score: 2, Funny

    Your hot-standby mouse should have kicked in and taken over without you noticing.. ;)

  12. Anyone see the other news on this site?! on Computer Error Grounds Japanese Flights · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Anyone see the other news on this site?!

    Police recover rock climber's body after fatal fall
    Motorcyclist dies after being hit by a truck
    61-year-old jobless man fatally abuses senile mother
    Dad dies of shock after son's repeated beatings
    Comic questioned over hitting woman in restaurant
    Death row inmate dies in prison cell

    Can someone in Japan please confirm that this is a freaky, awful day, and that Japan isn't normally this bad?

    Although that last one is quite ironic.

  13. Computers are just too fragile? on Computer Error Grounds Japanese Flights · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "Computers are just no good," said one 51-year-old company manager leaving for Sapporo. "I'm sure they're helpful, but they're just too fragile."

    Lol. Depends how they're set up. I'd say you can get them fairly robust. Clustered, load balanced, hot-swap, failover, etc.

  14. Re:Don't you just love the people of the UK! on 419 Scam Costs Britons 8.4m GBP in 2002 · · Score: 1

    Erm, I don't think that was due to Majors skill, or Blairs ineptitude. If you're in power as the economy starts to take off, as long as you don't make any huge mistakes, you're in luck.

    Please do tell me why, wanker.

    I bet these are the same people that voted Tony Blair into office.

    **Any**thing was better than Major.

  18. Re:So... on SecurityFocus On MS Security "Hole" · · Score: 1

    Maybe the filesystem has become corrupted due to lots of crashes.

    Personally, ext2 has been all I need. Although I have tried ext3 (blargh, slow), ReiserFS (nice), and XFS (seems good so far).

    If I still had my mod points, that'd get a +1, Funny.

    Come on, it **is** funny....

  21. Re:So how secure is it? on Root-server switches from BIND to NSD · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, I can only speak from personal experience, ratheer than just listening to people who say it's insecure.

    I've never had any security problems with it. Chrooted, and running as a non root user helps. Funny how once something gets a reputation, it never seems to be able to shake it off.

    I can see the SQL query becoming the new steps to profit. :)

  23. Re:*ahem* on MicroBSD Is No More · · Score: 1

    Funny you should mention him actually...

    I think I read some where that he died today in his home. Some bizarre accident with a vacuum cleaner and a carrot if my memory serves me right. I'm sure it'll be on the news tonight...

    In 1995, American researchers cooled rubidium atoms to less than 170 billionths of a degree above absolute zero.

    Lol :) I imagine they too have seen some almost incomprehensible source code.
