  1. Re:Disappointment again. on 2004 Year-End Google Zeitgeist · · Score: 1

    That's not a bad idea for a film/book.... :)

  2. Disappointment again. on 2004 Year-End Google Zeitgeist · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm rather upset that I don't even appear in the top 10 popular men. When will people recognise me? Maybe I'll have to kill a bunch of people...?

  3. Re:NAT all traffic? on EFF Promotes Freenet-like System Tor · · Score: 1

    God I'm good. Someone should put me in charge of the world/internet. Deniability, anonymity, or trust. If you can get total- of any of those 3, you are OK. I would say that Deniability is the easiest, followed by Anonymity, then Trust. (Trust for networks of over 50 people say)

  4. NAT all traffic? on EFF Promotes Freenet-like System Tor · · Score: 1

    What about a network (possibly implemented in VPNs), where all packets are NAT'd by each node. Anyone viewing the traffic would never know if the request originated on that host, or if it was a host 10 hops away. (Apart from the TTL, which could be randomised between 200 and 255 anyway).
    Obviously, this would still break things that don't play well with NAT.

  5. Sounds pretty good to me on EFF Promotes Freenet-like System Tor · · Score: 2, Funny

    Freenet - but not in Java?! Sign me up. Keep that nasty java off my system. GRSec and PaX don't like it and keep killing it off anyway.

  6. Re:No support for PostgreSQL? on How Real Is The Open Source Database Fever? · · Score: 1

    Huh? All companies listed are under about 35 employees, apart from one that a PG developer works at.

    That's hardly a shining example.

    Don't shout at me - I love PG, ever since taking the time to learn it. Kind of like Gentoo.

  7. Re:Free to use bikes in Helsinki on CCC Mods Rent-a-Bike To Allow Free Rides · · Score: 4, Informative

    I was in Copenhagen this summer (pictures start at Fri 28th May), and I was so impressed with this system. You could put in a 2 euro piece, take a bike, cycle anywhere, in the cool, fresh, clean air, and wave at all the lovely tall blonde Danish girls while looking cool on your stylishly designed bike.
    Then, when you've finished, you just pop it back to a bike rack, and take your money back. However, the cost of drinks there equalled it out. All in all, damn good, I say. Oh, and visit Christiania (sp?) if you can.

  8. Piracetam on Cognitive Enhancement Drugs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Have a look on Google for Piracetam. Similar thing. I tried to find out about side effects, but I couldn't find any. Someone I know takes a load before reading a whole set of Cisco coursebooks. It works for him - He's not a CCIE - yet, but he's a CCISP, and all the other ones.

  10. Re:Censored? No. on Sought for MGM v. Grokster: Non-Infringing P2P Use · · Score: 1

    Use P2P and download Das Experiment. It's a modern German remake of the Stanford Prison experiment. Normal people can turn into monsters very easily in the right circumstances.

    Heh - those were the days. Anyone else remember trying to find an unloaded mirror to snag RH8, or 9, or whatever? Now my boxes just upgrade as I go. emerge, anyone?

  12. Stop the press! on Flaw in Google's New Desktop Tool [Update: Fixed!] · · Score: 3, Funny

    Stop the press! Bug in beta app! "Oh no!" Waves hands in the air, and runs around in circles. "Who will save us now? Who will save us?!!"

  13. Re:WTF on Patrick Volkerding Back to Work · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey downloaded a corrupt ebuild, which hosed his glibc, but he booted from a recovery CD, and make HUPd the floogle, which he rscp'd over from the InterMX satellite, and after rdev'ing his kernel, he can now syslog to the console. Or something.

  15. Re:What the hell? on Bad Science Awards · · Score: 1, Funny

    I bought a pack of 10 condoms in a hurry a few weeks back, and only when I got them back saw that they were the type with benzocaine in them. Well, I didn't have time to go and get any more, so I gave them a whirl.
    Let's just say that it was an annoying weekend.
    Her: "What's wrong? Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? Don't you like me any more?"
    I persevered with about 6 of the puppies until I realised that it was just futile, and told her she'd have to please me another way. (Am I going into too much detail here?) So she bought me a DVD Dual Format DVD/CD Re-writer. It wasn't what I had in mind, but it was a nice thought.
    Good lord, why am I writing all this? To you people. Who **are** you people anyway? And why are you watching me? Is this part of my therapy? Can I go for the electro-shock stuff now, please?

    Wonder how quickly you can recompile Apache with 1024, or 2048 MaxClients? Seems a shame to waste this nice stream of click-happy surfers :)

    Anyway, it's 1.47am here, so I'm off. Good luck with the /.ing.

    Despite a 2002 unanimous vote by the Dutch parliament to prefer open standards and open source, exclusive negotiations with Microsoft were started.

    Amazing how Microsoft can override parliamentary votes. No doubt they'll claim that they use Open Standards, and that they'll give the Dutch government a pile of papers containing what they say is the source code that will compile to the binaries that they provide.
