    Hooray... maybe Apple finally grew up. Hooray to the end of the fruityness.

    Oh the horror! The Horror!

    What will the world ever do without yet another overpriced overblown computer?

    Linux works just fine on my Athlon, thank you.

    Yeah - no shit.

    No security through obscurity.

    The bgs are found FAST and are PATCHED FAST. If your lazy 200-lbs fritto-lay-eating "sys admin" thinks its above his ego to patch his systems up, that his problem.

  5. What you people really don't get on Vapor-phase Processor Cooling · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is that cooling your CPU to subzero temperatures will neither increase its lifetime nor incrase its performance. It is the overall design of the system that matters (I.e. Motherboard, and memory) I know plenty lamers whose AthlonXP 2600+ system runs slooower than my Athlon 1 Ghz system, which is indeed pretty fucking sad. And yes, I will re-iterate that having the the CPU running below the junction-temperature is bound to cause problems. So is strapping a 5 pound heatsink on your core - and cracking it in process like a dumbass. Otherwise - I guess its cool. I can't wait to see some one gut a fridge, use the innards for cooling the computer (Use propane instead of freon tho)

  6. Yar.... you are absolutely correct on The Era Of Satellite News Gathering · · Score: 1

    Absolutely... Murdoch and Redstone can fake their enmity in public all they want. But its clearly obvious that the main idea here is to CONFUSE and thus effectively remove the viewer as a person who understands anything and can have a firm grip on reality. THe Mediea lies, conives. It sucks. It literally rots your brain.

    Time for alternative news. Maybe one sponsored by /.?

  7. Yes.... you are absolutely correct on The Era Of Satellite News Gathering · · Score: 3, Interesting

    N0ne-news is a perfect word to describe news on channels such as CNN or FOX. They are passive, neutral. The avoid anything that might get the public's attention to the actual freakin' news in the world. They are ROT. Here are some of the stories you are likely to see ON NATIONAL NEWS 1) Laci Peterson lost for 2 months now. Had her husband Scott axed her? 2) Girl missing for 9 months found with a hobo and a prostitute. Whoo Whoo. 3) The latest from the newest rap band 4) The latest lamest movie 5) Weird psycho who set woods on fire sentenced for half of her life. 6) Latest psycho 50 year old soldier who feels like going to Iraq for the 3rd time " 'cause he's bored " 7) Crazy Wacko-Jacko sleeps with another 3-year-old. What you are NOT EVER GOING to see on these news 1) Actual news, as opposed to weird shit that sounds like it got pulled out of the "Enquirer" 2) News that explain current American and World events, as opposed to those that go something along the lines of " Disarm Iraq before carpet bombing me" 3) News that don't involve seedy "patriots" who are trying to get USA into a full-fledged 3rd world war. 4) News that have ANY FREAKIN' RELEVANCE to the lives of Americans. 5) Newscasters that are patriotic, as opposed to dancing to the flute of the gov't.

    OMG... ASP pages... Aww... whut_ever_ is the world EVER going to do without ASP? Yes, you are correct. Both have been exploited in the past. But I have yet to see such an exorbitant amount of bugs in any Open-Source product. Were you around to witness NT 4.0 and IIS 3.0? *shudder* Might as well put a "hack me" sign on your server.

  9. After a glorious 3 years... google starts to suck on Dissecting Localized Google Censorship · · Score: 2, Interesting

    An easy tell-tale sign that a search engine is dying, is the "commercialization" of the site. Simple test - enter something in the search bar. Press Search. Look over the first ~3-5 results. 90% likely they have something to do with either byuing or selling. Look over to your right - More buy/sell adverts... If you are an avid Google user, you quickly realize that the number of these adverts has grown over the months. Oh and by the way - a private company does not benefit from censoring. On the other hand, if it is threatened and coerced by shady "patriotic" gov't types.... well...

  10. Here's an idea... on WebDAV Buffer Overflow Attack Compromises IIS 5.0 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Instead of wasting money and time plugging every hole in IIS, why just not use Apache or Zope?

    Both run on Win32. Both are free. Both are stable. Both are fast. Both are good.
