  1. Re:Spamming must be lucrative on Interview With a Spammer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Unfortunatly, the Mobile home has become a necessity for the spammer. The need to relocate on a moments notice and be able to out pace the lynch mob once they have your address should not be underestimated.

    The blackout is the fail safe. If it wasn't there, massive fires in power relay stations and power plants would be the 'fail-dangerous' situation.

    There is a linux version that I got. It's a peice of paper that details a peice of glass, and how to mount it on a wooden frame. GNU went out and released a method for converting Sand into glass, so it looks like I have all of the parts I need for windows free windows!

  5. Re:Slashdot is a small portion of the public on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 4, Funny

    Except that not just upstanding citizens would have a chance to manipulate the votes. Which would mean that Cowboy Neal is going to be our next president, with Natalie Portman of the Hot Grits party as Vice President. George W Bush will find that he will have (-1, Troll) votes in each precinct.

    Here are the offending lines:

    */
    /*

    while(1)
    else {
    else
    #include <stdio>
    #include <iostream>
    do
    do {
    return;

    If you look at the source code, clearly almost 1/5th of the lines are comprised of these lines of their propriatary code. We must seriously take the effort to remove these lines and respect their hard work and contributions to linux.

    That Lord_Slepnir guy is a moron. Here is a version that's more up to date and is 3.3 compatable. So ignore that first guy. You shouldn't trust him.

    Here is a good guide to setting up a nat / firewall with openBSD. The page says openBSD 2.9, but I did it with 3.3 easily. Just put what they say to put in /etc/nat.conf into your /etc/pf.conf file. The default install doesn't include emacs, so you'll have to suffer through vi.

    First, you have a book about the philosophy of an operating system. Then I noticed that there was a chapter called "Rapid Prototyping for Fun and Profit". This guy is either brilliant, or burned out his brian on LSD in the 70s.
