    I know the answer to your question, just send me your bank account information and I will, uh, transfer the answer to it. In case that is not enough, come here and I will pass on to you the billions of millions of USD your dead uncle left behind. You can identify me at the airport by the mask I will be wearing and the bag I will put over your head.

    Yeah, I know it takes like 7 minutes or so (3 or so for the fastest machine), but they are commonly referred to as ``hourly'' (using terrorist quotes to annoy people). Hm, interesting, only the slowest machine actually takes more than an hour.

    How is "download virus.xpi here idiot" any different from "download virus.exe here idiot"?

    Stupid people are stupid, they make the Internet and the world a worse place for all of us. It's too bad I don't have the time to spend to revoke all of their life certificates.

    No effect.

    It probably only affects users that use deprecated versions such as hourly builds more than one hour old.

  12. Re:Don't remove it - just disable it. on Firefox Moving On From SSL 2.0 · · Score: 1

    If it was made an option deprecated services would just put in a notice to enable it instead of upgrade. And thus negate the change in Firefox.

  13. Plugin Lets Terrorists Turn Firefox into Firefox! on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why just modify the GUI when you can replace it entirely and still use the Worst Rendering Engine(tm) ever? Oh, wait, that is Lynx.

    Internet Explorer rendering in Firefox.

    NOTE: I haven't tried it out or anything (you'd probably have to read the entire thread and use the unstable branch of Firefox -- 1.0.5), so I can not guarantee anything.

  14. Re:Let's see some more bootloaders! on The Boot Loader Showdown · · Score: 2, Informative

    - kexec probably isn't very well documented, and possibly not entirely stable

    I've never had any problems.

    - I don't think kexec supports Linux-specific or Multiboot-specific stuff like setting the kernel commandline or loading a module/ramdisk.

    Of course it does!

    - No UI implemented yet at all, not even a kexec binary -- there's only a kexec system call, and most of us don't speak system calls directly, especially to boot our OS.

    kexec-tools.

  19. Re:Anti-Gentoo bias? on Beginner's Guide to Linux Distros · · Score: 1
    Gentoo- Like Ubuntu, Gentoo came out of nowhere and took the Linux world by storm. Gentoo is drastically different from the other mentioned distros in that it is source based. This means that with a system very similar to apt-get it allows a user to enter a command, pull the packages and dependencies needed, and install software, but instead of pulling prebuilt binaries, Gentoo pulls the source code and compiles everything. This means Gentoo has a major learning curve compared to other distros, but it makes up for this with superb documentation.


    ????

    The real bonus is that the user becomes VERY familiar with the operating system and how it is put together.


    ????

    Many GNU/Linux enthusiats may not use Gentoo anymore, but strongly recommend it as a learning experience for new users.


    ????

    On the other hand, it certainly provides a very fast, stable, and usable system. The package archives aren't nearly as thorough as that of Debian, but certainly better than any other. The other downside is the time involved to use the system. To get a fully compiled system from scratch installed can take days, and when you need to do any major upgrading, expect your system to be chugging on code for hours.


    No really, my P2 can recompile every package I have installed in two days. And that's many more packages than you'll compile when you first install Gentoo.
