Oh MY FUCKING GOD
HOW DID THIS GET THROUGH?
The previous story couldnt have been more than 2 days ago.
Ive had enough of this shit, Im handing in my slashdot ID, from now on I shall post anonymously as a Coward, and get modded up more.
Christ, you people have turned this place into a fucking joke.
Works nicely, although you have to be VERY CAREFUL to append pci=BIOSIRQ to the kernel args, or the sound card and the HD have an arguement, and the HD loses.
1. Sell Voyager to your oil-rich country of choice. 2. Wait a year. 3. Declare them politically persona non grata. 4. Accuse them of having weapons of mass destruction. 5. Invade their asses. 6. When you cant find any WMDs, just point at Voyager, saying they must have hid them out there, and cite NASA budget cuts as a reason not to go out and check. 7. ??? 8. Profit!!
Who the hell is in charge? The monkeys? OSTG's PR group? I want some proper news, and I want it RIGHT NOW. April Fools is one thing, but this constant stream of *crap* is *not* funny, or entertaining.
Whoever is behind this constant flood of shite is neither big nor clever.
Nothing for you to see here, please move along.

I myself use RH9 on the laptop, and Slack-current on the desktop. However, the family computer back home is still chugging away on a well patched win2k. Im the only "tech" person in my family; I find my family demonstrates very well the vast difference in the world of computer users; on one hand you have the joe-average-user who can turn the computer on, surf the net, write papers and check their emails. These people generally use some flavour of winbloze on an x86. They care not and generally know not, or are too scared to apply patches, lest it breaks and swallows all their data.
On the other hand you have the geeks, the haX0rs, the more knowledgeable users, who may use winbloze for games etc, and generally use Linux. These are the people who are intimately aware of how their system works; they are comfortable at a bash prompt; they know about the latest vulnerabilities; they know how to close ports, hell they know what a port *is*.
I spent 20 minutes just explaining what a port is to my Dad, and why it had to be closed.
People use windows, because like it or not, windows brought computers to the masses.
In short, Windows brought computers to your Mom, your Dad, your grandparents. People who otherwise would never have touched a computer.
Problem is, Microsoft has to live up to its responsibilities, it brought computing to Joe Public; it cannot expect Joe Public to know about or understand patches.
I know it very unlikely they would, but it would be very cool if they did, what the Open Source community could do with it would be great, iron out bugs, add functionality etc....
Anyone want to send an email to Bill and ask nicely?
Like my venerable Megadrive [Genesis].
This machine has not too bad at all processor, one that I believe Linux has already been run on, the question I have to ask myself is why no one has done anything with the last generation of 16 bit consoles?? Ive googled around and didnt really find anything interesting.
Will come out with some astonishing news that
A: "Spam is a major threat to our great nation" and
B: that posesses "Tools for Mass Spamming".
Oh deary me.
Is a rather cool game that includes a built in C style scripting language to control various robots whose tasks vary from hunting aliens to collecting ore. Nice graphics as well. The homepage is here.
NEWS JUST IN---->The RIAA has sued the makers of said rocket, as the 802.11b link could "techinically be used to share illegal files accross the network".
Where I come from people like the Provisional IRA / Loyalists use music and video piracy as a means of income, along with drug pushing and God only knows what else. Instead of using their powers to stop major pirating operations, they go after some poor sod for creating a generic search engine!?

Not that they made public anyway... *tinfoil hat mode on*

Seriously though, fair play to the guy, without people like him OSS wouldnt be where it is today.
I would be more a believer in Security through Obesity

It seems to me the connection just drops every five minutes, perhaps they have this on their crontab ;)
