A computer hacker who allowed himself to be publicly identified only as ''Mudhen'' once boasted at a Las Vegas conference that he could disable a Chinese satellite with nothing but his laptop computer and a cellphone
That is so cool if it is true. Have the phreakers been hitting comm satellites? Anyplace to find overviews of how they do it?
...It's the terror of knowing What these lawsuits are about. SCO investors screaming Let me out. Press-release tommorow - get the stock high, High, Hiiiiiiiiiiiiggh Pressure on SCO - SCO on the brink. Under pressure.
Although I'll bet Daryl and company wish it were so.
Look at todays comment. SCO now claim that Linux is a 'nonliteral implementation' of Unix,
If it's 'nonliteral' why did they even bother with a copyright suit in the first place? Still looking for the "millions of lines" of infringing code, Daryl.
Anybody on/. feel like compiling a list of SCO quotes that they have made in the past year for a good 'comedy of errors' read?
#10 Some of our Middle Eastern allies will become offended by always being greeted with the message, "Are you female?"
#9 Enemy troops will always know our location simply by logging on as "1337BustyBlonde" and typing "a/s/l"
#8 "Dood, ph33r my m4d fr@gg1ng ski11z" doesn't have the same ring as "Mess with the best, die like the rest."
#7 Along those same lines, "All your base are belong to us" does not have the same ring as "Veni, Vidi, Vici"
#6 Spammers will be responsable for one of the worst military blunders in history when carpet bombing *.mil domains with "Free Disney World Vacation" spam initiates the carpet bombing of Disney World with several thousand tons of high explosives.
#5 Less technically inclined officers will bring the entire system to its knees when the click on the *.jpg.exe link and release the latest virus threat.
#4 Our leadership ranks will be wiped out by our own troops when above mentioned officers give the excuse "I didn't think the virus would affect us. I mean, we are all wearing our biohazard gear."
#3 Troops will be too busy reading Slashdot
#2 NO MORE WAR! Troops will be too busy buying Vi@gra and "Organ enhancement" pills to shoot people.
AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON THIS WILL NEVER WORK...

That meteorite fragments hit Chicago last June(?). My windows was facing away from the city, but I was still able to see a bright flash which I thought was lightning at first. Anybody else in the Chicago area remember the meteorite last year?
It's one thing to find your own answers first, and completely another to treat a curious person with disdain because you're too self-rightous to say the words "I don't know".
I have found some of the comp.linux.* newsgroups to be very helpful. I sometimes even post answers to other peoples questions too. I still may not know much more about fstab options, but if anybody needs help setting up multiple printing ports or getting a PC card CF reader working, I may be able to help.
Seriously. I visited the local LUG and was appalled at the attitude some of the older members had whenever a relative newbie or younger kid asked them a question. The boilerplate answer from the "gurus"? "Just read the man pages".
I tried to hit them up for a simple answer to the nodev, user and suid options in fstab and all I got was "Read the man pages".
I wasn't looking to the answers to everything, only the differences between "user" and "nodev" options and when it is best to use them.

I for one welcome our damn, dirty, feces throwing overlords!

Seriously though
I'm glad these guys were caught, but it's a shame that they had to be caught with these methods.

Ashcroft, a religious man who does not drink alcohol or caffeine, smoke, gamble or dance
Just as I thought. It didn't say ANYWHERE that he doesn't surf the net for porn!
I guess that explains how he knew where to find it.
...Is to pry it from my hot, sticky hands!
...that we will FINALLY be able to find Carmen Sandiego?
...It's the terror of knowing
What these lawsuits are about.

Anybody on
does anyone have any idea what Damacy means?
Maybe it means "Beowulf".
Hmmmm. A Beowulf cluster of trash?
Hmm, looks like they had a Russian version of Homer Simpson working there
D'ohsky!
Tell me about it! I'm still looking for the picture of her in leather and a shotgun strapped to her bike, riding down the road.
You mean I cant play crappy, repetative, inane, consumerist based Starwars games with poor writing on the gamecube?!
Of course you can! Try this one.
Just read the man pages!

I overclocked my records to 78rpm!!!
If he's so positive, could he possibly know anything about software patents to say nothing of SCO?"
Of course. SCO will not exist 25 years from now. Any reference made will simply be "SC-Who?"
And the challenge is in the form of old riddles and a couple new ones like "what's your favorite color?"

Is it safe to say you've reviewed all the "derivative" works as well?
Why this will never fly.
