  1. Why build one, when you can crack one? on Robot Warfare Going Open Source · · Score: 1

    It will be a great time, when the average 15 year old cracker noob can crack a whole army of bots, and turn them against their master. It's no longer a powerful government against a helpless you. Power becomes equalized. You do not need big money or big industries, to get big power anymore. You only need brains. Lotsa lotsa brains! ^^
    And don't think any military leader acts any wiser than those 15 year olds would. ^^

  2. Re:Almighty Dollar on DoD Sharing Threat Data With Critical Industries · · Score: 1

    Well. Not better than leaving them in the hands of the 1st world dictators, is it? ^^

  3. Re:Run Linux much? on Ridiculous Software Bug Workarounds? · · Score: 1

    But in-place updates always left you with a steaming mess of a huge registry, tons of unused files laying around, and so on.

    Nowadays (unfortunately) nothing beats portage (except the better clones of it, like paludis). You even get slots, like on BSD's ports (I heard it's from there).
    While I'm far from a fanboy of portage and Gentoo (many maintainers are simply asses), I must say, that I never ran into a problem that I could not solve, in the 8 years that my small server, and the 1 year, that my desktop ran it. Including changing all hardware below it (on the server) twice, and major architectural changes.

    The trick -- which you will never learn with Windows, OS X, Ubuntu, Suse, etc (and I did never learn with them) -- is to understand the system and what you're doing on it. I do all my updates with this commands:

    eix-sync
    emerge -auDNtv
    revdep-rebuild -p
    emerge -atv --depclean

    And then I look at the portage elog output for package notifications of any manual changes to do, and do them. This is the key think to keep the system working, and I think 90% of all Gentoo users just ignore those (at least at first). Hence the problems.

    Sure it's not easy-peasy one-click and done. But it's never easy. It's just that with above mentioned "colorful clickable" OSes, when you get to such a problem, you have no chance of getting unstuck, because you never learned to work without the GUI training wheels on, and simply reinstall.

  4. Re:Ethanol is just stupid on The Great Ethanol Scam · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Hey, I have an idea:

    How about, Americans drive on the fat of their own bodies?
    I mean it's more useful than making soap out of it. ^^

    Liposuction, directly into the tank, and go.
    I'm sure you will never be out of fuel anymore. Ever. ^^

    Well, German politicians know themselves around drugs. After all, cocaine was found on the toilets of the Bundestag (parliament).

    Red Bull cola is one of few colas that contains coca leaf extracts

    As does Coca-Cola. See the many posts where this is noted. Also: Hence the name.

    Yes, and hydrochloric acid contains water, so it must be perfectly safe to drink. :P

  11. Re:Delicious Uranium on BPA Leaches From Polycarbonate Bottles Into Humans · · Score: 1

    And wanna know why?

    Same reason, that oil tanks out of plastic are leaking trough diffusion. And also that industrial-strength toilet cleaner is diffusing trough the bottles it comes in.

    Plastic & Co is never 100% leakproof. Oh, and it reacts with other hydrocarbons. That's why you can't combine them freely.

  13. WOW, what a GREAT social engineering! on Calculating Password Policy Strength Vs. Cracking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why work hard to get passwords from the people who are most worried about their security (possibly because they have the most valuable data),
    when you can simply open a site, offer them to "check them for security", and let them input them themselves!

    Why didn't I think of that! Man, what a genius!

    nothing new here

    See, how you simply accepted their reality as true?
    That's the power of their delusional confidence, and your belief that, if everybody says it, it must be true.
    Same thing as with the guys who get women. They don't look better, or are richer. They simply are more confident in their reality.

    I, for one do not follow that made-up shit.

    2 + 2 = 5 :P

  18. Re:Is he gonna get compensated? on Judge Says Boston Student's Laptop Was Seized Illegally · · Score: 1

    Simple: Because we are not that ruthless and unethical, to be able to make up such crap, and believe in it strongly enough, for whole groups (like the news media) no fall for it.

    And that is why evil will always triumph. Not because good is to stupid. But because it follows some ethics, and does not have that delusional confidence.

    And you may mean this in a sarcastic way, but by even allowing this p.o.v. to exist, you actively support putting it in people's brains, that this even can be seen as normal (even if you don't).
    Please stop that. We do *not* live in such a world. In is *not* that way.

    It only is that way, if you join that new made-up reality!
    People *have* to believe crap, and that some "authority figure" is right, for something like that to even exist.

  20. Re:Err... what? on The Case For Working With Your Hands · · Score: 1

    And who's unmounting and mounting the toilet? (Which by the way is more work than simply unclogging it.)

    Oh, and unclogging is an easy job. You need two things: Industrial strength toilet unclogger, and one of those long "wires" that you can put into the toilet and twist, to drill trough it.

    But you *really* have to be cautious with the unclogging acid, because it burns trough everything. Toilet seats, pants, flesh, carpet, etc.
    Also do not store it anywhere, where anything else is. Because I know from own experience, that it slowly diffuses *trough* the plastic bottles and cardboard boxes it comes in, and then attacks everything it comes in contact with.

  21. So what? on College Papers Won't Rewrite History For Alumni · · Score: 1

    What's the problem? Does anyone really think he es the only one who really had fun, and did some stupid things when he was young? Guess what: The guy that's offering you a job, probably had a more crazy youth than you. If someone is really searching in your past for shit to dig up, you're not the ass. HE is! Do you really want to have to do with such an ass?

    Have some self-esteem, self-confidence, and stand by yourself. You drank. You maybe smoked some stuff. You maybe had sex with X. You maybe stole something and peed in the pool. So what? The only one who has a right to judge you, is you. And you are the one who defines who is allowed to judge you. If you allow others to control what is OK for you, you will be controlled for the rest of your life.
    Maybe you like that. But I don't. :)
