I'd have to agree.
As far as I'm concerned, Achtung Baby is one of the greatest albums ever; up there with Pet Sounds and Sgt Pepper. The album is so perfectly cohesive - each song a gem in it's own right yet so fitting to the rest of the material. I'm guessing Brian Eno's production had something to do with that.
Zooropa was decent, Pop was interesting and underrated. But ATYCLB -- BORING.
I'm usually not one to bitch and whine about the misuse of the term 'hacker', but using the same term to describe people doing innovative things with computers and then calling Mitnick one is just absurd. This guy had to beg lusers on irc to teach him basic unix commands -- and how to run rootkits. Give me a break. The guy doesn't even know a single programming language inside and out.
Basically he's a good liar. That's all. Shall we begin calling Bill Clinton a hacker?
My (home) iptables based firewall only allows incoming traffic on port 80, and only to machine inside the network. The other poor Windows machines are not receiving 'a whole hell of a lot of traffic.'
It may be true that some Windows based firewall software is ineffective but I really have no idea having not used any.
"wouldn't it be far MORE interesting if say somebody compiled that little Darwin kernel for x86 and got OS-X to run NATIVE on it?"
Yes, the impossible is certainly interesting.
I really have no idea -- is this something you could just alter the firmware to support? I mean you really need to refocus the LASER to burn a second layer don't you?
Because a large group of people decided that the/. moderation system is broken in that it does not reward funny posts. So they mod them interesting instead.
1. vim - Best. Editor. Ever. 2. zsh - with apt-get completion this makes apt-getting the rest of stuff nicer. 3. screen - start a screen session. 4. iptables - secure the machine 5. irssi-text - irc is a good way to kill time while you're waiting for things to install. 6. bzip2 - for kernel. 7. kernel-package - upgrade to the latest stable kernel the Debian Way(tm).
At this point it really depends what I'm using the machine for. Is it a firewall/router? Then probably nmap, snort or some other security utils. If it's my desktop probably gnome2, python, gcc, gdb, valgrind, etc.
Probably the most interesting thing about Brazil is that it is one of the most resource rich countries in the world, right up there with various African countries.
The reasons for the horrific poverty in both cases can be traced to west european and north american empires consistently preventing, from force or clandestine methods, the countries from becoming self sufficient and independent of the Western version of capitalism/plundering.

You obviously have nothing to do with present computing these days. At least outside of your basement. Oh, by the way, mom called, dinner is ready.

Yes, I saw him speak recently :)

A lot of gamers swear by ball mice... Due to the relatively low sampling rate/resolution of optical mice.
Try google.

So mods are dumb! Holy shit! Newsflash.

Wow, the game logic is actually implemented by the shaders which are passed key presses...

That's really f'n cool

Does /. have a fucked up perception of the term 'right' or what? How is it any person's right to any specific quality of search results?
