it doesnt NEED to do a mother fucking thing. its a voluntary services that parents allow their children to use.
myspace should randomly put huge/loud pornographic images on the pages of anyone who "says" they're above the age of 21/18 just so when parents come by they might actually take alert to what their children are actually doing.
if they're lying about their age... fuck em. they're beating the system and are probably enjoying it... and maybe a little too much. if the parents have a problem with it... fuck em. they're the parents. they should be the decision makers. not myspace and not the motherfucking government. if you have a problem with my opinion and live in the US - fuck you and fuck movies (heh, unnecessary dane cook reference) . if you dont believe i have the right to say this get the fuck out of my country. if you dont live in my country - hahaha.. you can jib at me and say "at least bush isnt my president"... then i can chuckle and say.. damn. you got me..:)
are you serious? if someone came into my house without my permission... repeatedly... after being asked to leave... and then invited some friends over... youre damn right id call the cops. and if the cops had an attitude like yours, there would be many freeloaders getting shot in the face. that would keep the rest from coming back.
this is not an "OPEN PUBLIC" service... if you leave your door unlocked is it perfectly alright for someone you dont know to come in and hang out with you? how about 5 people you dont know.. how about 40? 100?
this is no more of an "open, public" service than your house is an "open public resturant".
for the third time today.. i get to burn me some karma:D yay!!!!111!!!11!
maybe.. but a robots.txt file would prevent google from spidering it... what dlink is doing is basically like a DDOS attack EXCEPT they're not actually forcing the server offline... they're just racking up this guys bills. just because its legal doesnt make it right.
if you need to have a law for every fucking minute little thing - how the fuck did you make it past early childhood.
go fuck yourself with a handgun.
(i am burning the hell out of my karma today.. lol.)
as much as i would like to explain to you that this guy is running a "stratum 1" server... that means he has a direct connection to a UTC time source... its established and respected standard that only other servers who serve NTP connect to such a server. people using NTP clients should not be directly querying him... its the equivalent of everyone in one state sending all of their DNS queryies to one of the US root domain servers... i guess since its an open service that would be okay? fuck that. you know what. i dont want to try to explain it to you.. or be nice... or maybe try to get you to see through the smoke to see whats really going on here... go fuck yourself with a handgun. id tell you not to procreate but you have a rather low/. UID so you probably already have some kids.
(even at the cost of sounding overly zealous by calling "us" educated) i have to say that unfortunately "we" are the educated minority...as such. we more or less can not win a straight up election between "our" people and the average joe-grease-my-palms out there... this might sound bad on the one hand but i believe that its this constant uphill battle that we have to fight that will encourage us to create new and VASTLY better ways to fight than had we been given an even playing field.
we might be on the shorter end of the stick, but we're definitely in a position to use it to our advantage... that is - if we push ourselves to stretch our knowlege to the extremes and use that knowledge to fight the good fight.
correct me if im wrong... but isnt he only eligible for a darwin award if he somehow prevents himself from being able to reproduce? (ie: blows up his nuts, breaks his back/neck... rips his johnston off)
thanks bro, i wasnt really pissed at your reply more at the fanboys killin my karma. i'll have to check out some of the newer builds. the last time i used a fresh install of firefox was the.5 alpha or something like that, i've always just directly upgraded from there since i never encountered any problems... ah well. TFTH.
lol, yeah i fell into that trap. i used to be a pc junkie but after i bought my g5, i turned my workstation into a media server running gentoo and my other pc i gave away to a buddy i moved in with. hehehe. the only pc i use now is the one at work.. which is okay by me since autodesk doesnt make civil engineering software for mac.. but still. yeah, i could never treat my g5 like the "second machine" again...
ok im a little pissed but this is slashdot and i have karma to burn...
1) old versions of firefox did NOT unset itself correctly after an uninstall... new versions may but only if you didnt upgrade and they are the first installs. 2) that little checkbox you talk about - which is there - does NOT properly set/unset the file associations. i'll repeat this for you.. DOES NOT unset the firefox file associations. in fact, when you click it and hit "ok" it IE doesnt even ask you on next startup if its default or not because that doesnt check things like.htm and.html file associations... or urls etc... 3) why the fuck did my original comment get modded troll? was it because i said something that most people dont like? yeah - fuck them. 4) i love firefox, this wasnt a bash or a troll against it. i was offering my opinion based on my experiences with a similar problem. but thats what i get for telling someone to try the IE 7 upgrade on fucking slashdot.
GAH, fucking slashdot... getting me worked up at 8am. i need a life.
HAHAHA.. NO. that doesnt explain it. but i can. because that same thing FUCKED ME hard when i tried uninstalling firefox from my work machine....
in any event, firefox sets itself as the default browser in a very unfriendly way... hah. if you dont believe me you can even play along at home. try uninstalling firefox - IE wont work right anymore. ok, now that youve tried that reinstall firefox.... i think it stems from using the old deer park alphas and then upgrading to firefox 1 without uninstalling first.. my mistake...
but whats odd though is this - nothing i could do in IE would reset IE to be default browswer.. even trying to do the file reassociations by hand failed for me. in the end, the only thing that restored IE for me was through installing the IE7 beta. funny but im kinda getting used to ie7... its not as bad as i figured it would be.
requires a mac of course, but then again - you know youve wanted to get a mac-mini just so you can keep your itunes library and all your book collections sorted on one machine:)
well... heres some opinions from the "probably pulled out of my ass dept."
if thunderbird stored mailboxes in a db... it would probably be faster with a lot of messages... if a computer crashed with sqllite'd history/bookmarks/email... and youre tech savy enough to copy the old style bookmarks over... youre probably savy enough to copy over the db files...
what you should be hoping for is that they go the route which best helps the project and the users... this may or may not be that route, but we wont know till we go down it.
ive been using the beta of IE7 and im pretty sure thats incorporated. by that i mean, i havent seen the address bar dissappear yet when a window gets past its popup blocker.
whether or not youre a fan of ie is a whole different story. you may or may not like to try it...
by the way - the only reason im using ie 7 now is because on my work machine, firefox hijacked my browser associations *.html/htm/etc... so when i uninstalled it IE 6 wouldnt work. opening a new window would trigger it to try to run firefox - which didnt exist. the only solution most people found was to reinstall ie... even the "Set IE back to default" option in the preference window didnt help... ah well. i was lucky- about 3 days later the beta came out and when i installed it all my settings were fixed... dont get me wrong, i like firefox and all.. but that wasnt too cool.
not to be rude but they never "removed" the old version. they just labeled it so that unadventurous types wouldnt try to download it. try the link that says "windows 98/ME" users. brings you right to the old version http://www.aim.com/get_aim/win/other_win.adp?aolp=
Anyone who supports this legislation should be hung. I'm not even kidding.
hah hah hah hah hah.. rofl. its funny you should say something like that... cause ive been pitching this TV show where the world can call in and nominate people who have spread the most fear, uncertainty and doubt that its criminal. on the tv show im proposing, a crack team of hosts will go to the offending persons house, drag them out on their front lawn with their parents, spouses and children watching.......
and get to shot the offenders in the face on live tv with submachine gun...
haha. man thats a macabre thought. i bet america would straighten up in a hurry though. shit, dont they already do that shit in the terrorist countries?
(disclaimer: this is not flaimbait or trolling. its what i believe. america is fucked up and what i propose couldnt possibly make it any worse. if you dont like my opinion - read one you do like. fuck off)
the internet is a safe place. i dont care what fanatical people rant about. im fanatical and i say that as long as you take all the necessary precautions, ie: strong encryption, a secure/patched OS, penetration testing if you run your own server.... etc. you'll be fine 99% of the time. and the other 1% of the time you'll be prepared.
the second you put your service online it is YOUR business to secure it. its like opening a door on the sidewalk and telling people not to look in as they pass. its just not practical. if you cant handle your own shit what are you doing on the internet?
heres a clue - people who are going to fuck your shit up are most likely self taught. no one goes to school to become an elite hacker. people who are in these classes are most likely our best shot at protecting our future internet because unfortunately - they're the people who are gonna get the jobs they interview for... because of their degree. me? i'll run circles around half of those assholes but i'll never get the jobs they will nor the salary. c'est la vie.
this rant was much better in my head, trust me. but i gotta train to catch. hah any women in the absecon, nj area who want to get some coffee meet me at the absecon train station at 4:50. i wear an element hoodie. see ya there.
i did. i heard the voices... and i heeded their call.
im now playing brian wilsons "Smile" on repeat.
if you dont know about brian wilson, smile or the beach boys... i suggest you do some looking up. its amazing.
