    Yeah, or a violin.

    Nope, seems like I remembered wrong, however, you can use it to feed the IPs to a firewall.

  3. Use Snort on Blocking MSN Messenger? · · Score: 0

    As far as I know, Snort should be able to recognize Messenger's packets' fingerprints and block them.

    Err... The 'substitution' operator that is.

    It's a Perl oneliner which has a 'split' function doubling every character it's fed.

    Well, it seems like USENIX folks don't have to be afraid of getting Slashdotted...

  7. Lies from Satanists... on Darwinian Poetry: From Bad to Verse · · Score: 1, Funny

    Absurd! It's an obvious fact that these poems were intelligently created! They even violate the seventh law of ther-moo-dinamiks!

  8. Re:Not all guesses are the same on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 0

    I did say logic and observation.

    We are able to observe variation inside species. We are able to determine the periods that these variations take to occur. We know that after a certain amount of 'right' kind of variations (which they have gained due to different kind of environmental pressures) the descendants of the same original species are not able to reproduce with each other. As time goes by, they will change more - or perhaps not at all - according to their environment.

    Is this not macro evolution? Aren't the descendants of the original species able to change enough given enormous amounts of time and variations in their surroundings?

    I didn't mean Creationists are wrong because their 'theory' is written down somewhere; I meant to ridicule their so-called evidence.

  10. Re:Pretty common scenario on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 0

    so the simple explanation is that we underwent millions of years of tiny changes and genetic reinforcement of desired traits through natural selection without dying out or ending up dramatically different than we are, rather than the complex explanation that someone created us that way? Ohhhh, thanks for clearing that up.


    Yes, and in addition to that, there's actually empirical evidence about evolution.

    Oh, but do forgive me! Christian view of creationism must be true since it's written on a book!

    Macro evolution and creationism both require a great amount to believe in with certainty.


    Except that the theory about 'macro evolution' is based on logic and observation, whereas creationism is not even science.

    One might assume the dev team would have come up with some decent patches in 14 billion years.

    Maybe the artists and record companies should consider making a less shitty product instead of whining when their silly attempt to push garbage fails.
