Give me your lagged, your bored,
Your huddled masses yearning to leech free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming network.
BTW: Not a troll, I enjoy DALnet too...
I just wanted to reply to a recent post about how we need a more comprehensive set of laws in cyberspace. I completely disagree. As far as the Internet goes, it should be under one law, anarchy. No one owns the Internet, no one country has the right to make a law covering all of it. Stop trying to restrict it, and just accept the fact that on the Internet people can be free.
Thank you, but I know the difference between a switch and a hub. The problem is, they don't use hubs, they use switches. I'm complaining about how the network topology is set up.
When I first glanced at this headline, I thought it was just another duplicate of "Is Linux Ready For the Desktop?". Then, upon seeing it was Windows, I thought, wow... that's a pretty odd article, considering Windows is already on 95% of desktops. Personally, I use Windows XP, dual-booted with Linux. There is one thing that keeps me using Windows instead of Linux. X. XWindows is an old and dying project. A whole new windowing system needs to be built for Linux, before I'd ever consider using it as a primary desktop OS. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux itself. I would never want to work in console, with anything other than Linux/Unix.
On that note, I do have to give some credit to Apple. I used to be a hardcore Mac hater. And I probably would still hate them if they hadn't released OS 10 and turned around their entire OS. Forget everything about how it's all pretty and swishy. I like the fact that it works. And, that it's built on a stable BSD core. Perhaps Windows should take notice and learn something.
You haven't seen unnecessary until you've seen how our high school's network is set up...
I tested it one time, by setting up Ethereal on a single client PC, in a computer lab. I captured over 1000 packets in about 20 sec. (This was while I was doing nothing network related on the test PC.) Most of the packets were DNS lookups.
Pretty sad when a computer in the front of the room has to pass a DNS query through the computer next to it, just to get a response.
God, I have enough trouble trying to make sure I find all the keys OK after 10 years of working on computers... Could you imagine what happens if you need to glance at the keyboard every so often, and you happen to block the display with your hands??
Luckily for me, I DO know the perils of non-secure deletion. Originally I used to use Evidence Eliminator, but that got too corporate, so now I use Eraser, a free open-source prog. Works great.. I use the 35 pass one... just to be safe...;)
I know, I know... that's the first thing I thought of when I saw CS, but it actually stands for Computer Science. Anyway, as for the actual issue, I don't think it's a gender bias issue that girls aren't as into IT as guys. It's not that they're not smart enough, it's just that on average most girls aren't as interested in comps as guys are. I suppose we like our toys. =)
This may be considered redundant, but ever since MS came up with this whole.NET thing.. i've been thinking.. OK.. sounds waaayy too much like they're trying to do the whole 'Synapse' thing. (Antitrust) About time they wised up.
I wonder if this has anything to do with MS's attack plan...
News post on Slackware's site:
Due to a series of DDoS attacks which began on Dec 11 and continued until yesterday afternoon, it has been difficult or impossible to reach our website for nearly a week. We're glad that it seems to have stopped, but have no idea who is behind the attacks, why they're doing it, or if they will start again. We apologize for the downtime. An investigation into the source of the attacks is ongoing, and we ask that anyone with any useful information please contact the Slackware Security team at security@slackware.com. Thanks for your patience.
"If it weren't for the radioactivity, I could almost call the job 'a piece of cake,' but the radiation makes it hugely complex and extremely difficult."
Yea... and if it weren't for the radiation you wouldn't even be building the 'piece of cake'.
Slashdot Mirror
No.
Seriously... what the heck? Do you read articles or do you just spam?
Ok, a lot of stuff that comes out of Japan is cool.
But, seriously what are they thinking... "Let's set our arms on fire and fight with eachother to make it look like we are video game characters!!"
I don't even wanna go into the apparent obsession with tentacles and demonic monsters in their sexual fantasies....
Tis nothing that a little duct tape can't fix. =D
.. no probs as of yet.
Or worst case, you could still entertain your friends with the amazing exploding capacitor trick.
BTW: I have a Gigabyte 845PE
Sure, if anyone can get that information, feel free to do just that.

Attack Overpeer and the record industry in every way possible.
Legally:
- Don't buy anything from RIAA or MPAA (CD's, DVD's)
- Use any legal methods to attack them. I think the EFF will handle this pretty well.
Illegally:
- I think that the people who will do this, know what I'm talking about.
If they want to use underhanded schemes to attack the Internet community, let's defend ourselves.

Crackers of the world unite! Let's all launch a massive series of attacks against the RIAA and everything evil they stand for.
sad part is they aren't.. i.e. my post above..lol

They can track where you live based on your IP address, but can they survive the slashdot effect? I think not. =)
But , here's a alternate pdf location.
Yea, the "Translation" part kinda stuck out at me. Are u kidding?

{Translation: Find out if we can shoot the messenger, dammit!}
The scary part... I don't think they were making a joke.

Bah! That's nothing... now forwards compatibility is another story. I'd thoroughly enjoy watching my 1997 DVD-ROM drive say, 1500 GB of used space.
uh.. is anyone else slightly confused by this story? they want to patent a cancerous mouse?
