  1. It's just telstra's mailservers on Spam Slows Australian Net Traffic · · Score: 0

    That's just a telstra PR announcement reworded! admittedly the man has been watching the news and staying up to date, as that is the lastest excuse to roll out of the telstra PR mill. I think initally telstra were trying to sell people on the line that a bug in their mailservers artifically increased the load and forced it to start queuing mail. When that didn't fly they've pulled out the "it's not our fault, other isp's have this problem to! it's the evil spammers!"\
    I hope they lose massive numbers of customers over this.

  2. Re:Inkjet vs. laser on Color Printing Without the Inkjet Mess? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Kyocera printers will cost you in time and headaches, they make truly shithouse printers. we have 2 fs3800's at work. one is a pleasure, the other has had EVERYTHING replaced and still friggs up. and dealing with kyocera is as fun as snapping on a glove and trying to caviety search a herd of hippos. Kyocera will give you service kits which don't match what you ask for and take weeks to replace urgently needed parts without apology. avoid them at all costs.

  3. Re:IT IS YUO WHO IS THE RAT!!! on OpenBSD 3.1 End Of Life · · Score: 0

    actually theo is a jerk off to be sure. but that doesn't mean obsd doesn't have it' good points, it's short EOL makes no sense from an enterprise point of view though.

  4. Re:How dare they??!? on OpenBSD 3.1 End Of Life · · Score: 0

    actually MS support products for about 4 years compared to obsd's crappy 12 months

  5. where to learn on Mainframe Operators Needed · · Score: 0

    I'd love to work on mainframes, bigger the better as far as i'm concerned. trouble is universities here don't teach that stuff ( i guess becuase THEY can't find anyone to teach it) and this doesn't just affect old clunker systems. what about new big iron??? there is always massive computing needs, more is never enough it seems.

  6. Re:How is SARs more dangerous than AIDs? on Slashback: Security, Telephony, Solicitude · · Score: 0

    for a start not much was known about immunodeficiency back then, let alone the AIDS virus. secondly SARS can be caught by walking through a crowd, you can't catch AIDS that way. A disease which kills 14% of the people it infects and can be caught by close contact alone IS a big deal. i fail to see what you contribute by comparing AIDS to SARS, it makes you sound like a rebel looking for a cause. besides i bet you'd sing a different tune if you were family of one of those 22 who died.

  7. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Sandia's Laptop Heatpipes Closer To Market · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    just strain it through a loaf of bread, thats what the bums around here do. go down the servo and buy a bottle of metho, a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread.

  8. shell accounts suck anyway on Local Root Hole in Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    only myself and the IT manager are able to log into our system ( everyone else has /bin/false ) so as long as no one kicks in my office door or guesses our root or admin password i feel safe. and no, i will NEVER be giving shell logins to our users ( shiver )
