It bothers me sometimes when I see *clever* "X is dying" edits get modded down to -1, Troll. What makes this a troll and "In Soviet Russia, Gameboy plays you!" funny? I think this is a lot more clever, and definitely deserving of some karma loving.
I think it's obvious this man is guilty (why else would the FBI raid him?) and has caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to Valve and Valve's IP. I really don't think the death penalty is enough for this guy and if you think otherwise you're a sushi-eating, latte-sipping, wacko liberal loser. This man is a TERRORIST and has harmed Valve and our economy with his TERRIFYING THEFT of TOP SECRET Valve IP. DMCA, USA PATRIOT, the works, this is a bad man. Valve lost billions and billions of dollars because of the delay caused by this guy and he should be shot. Or at least never get his hardware back and rot in a cell for five years waiting for a trial. Yeah.
(Yet Another "Did Anyone Else..") Did anyone else read the title as "HD DirecTiVo And Other CES Threats" and slap their forhead saying "Christ, more legal bullshit."?:) I did!.. Thanks, SCO, you insensitive clods. I feel corrupted.
They contain gelatin here in the US.. anyway, more experienced alcoholics/vegetarians know you can make some impressive jello shots with augar (http://www.projectjanel.org/archives/000715.html) -- Think before you drink, and just because you're a veg (like me) doesn't mean you can't fit in;p
People seemed to be biting the "17 meg file" troll less and less, and making more and more jokes about it lately. I guess we've got our replacement now.
I call bullshit. 1) Keyloggers crashing constantly? They're pretty simple things.. I think you've taken the instability of ACertainOS(TM) and extrapolated it to simple keyloggers in an attempt to build this silly story. 2) How, exactly, does the keylogger crashing divulge the location of the logfile? It could, sure, but I think this was too convenient. 3) ASCI art, eh? If it'd been ASCII art, I might have believed that you'd be intelligent enough to notice the "crashing" of the keylogger and find the logfile.
In Canada they set altitude records all the time, but they don't use balloons. Obviously these fellows have merely started to import the Canadian ganja!
I'm doing a scientific study of moderation on Slashdot. I have a standing hypothesis that getting moderated up and funny, when replying to a post moderated =>3 and funny, is 200% less likely. Let's see if it's true:
I can see it now...
"Cage #10000000, check."
"Cage #10000001, check."
"Cage #10000002, check."
"Cage #10000003..."
"Oh, shit! The spider in cage #10000003 is missing! Lock down the system! Call the national guard! Help! Help!"
Lots of spiders, lots of little cages, very little practicality:) Even the egg industry packs multiple chickens to a cage (despite adverse consequences) and they're a lot bigger than these guys.
Hello, my name is Albert Ordeal.
I've been empowered by my client, UNIVERSAL PICTURES, to license your post for a feature film in Summer of 2004. We at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS realize that the Slashdot crowd doesn't agree with any of our policies, the policies of the MPAA, or the policies of our good friends at Disney, but we have a solution.

Thanks for your cooperation, we'll mail you a ticket to the screening.
Yes, finally! We can start producing super-strong silk boxers to protect all us sexy geeks from the swarms of girls outside our rooms. Personally, I'm all for reducing user latency in the kernel and reading the latest rant by RMS, but *indestructable silk boxers* get me really excited. I'm blowing through several pairs a week when I leave the dark, secluded safety of my room to get more gin and tonic at the store. I certainly can't make the swarm go away, but this takes care of a symptom!
Exactly who really tripped out about this shit anyway? It's always been a "You infringe! We have proof! Nobody can see our proof!" (non)shitstorm. I think if SCO had actually had a case we'd be taking a much more serious approach to the situation instead of the rampant SCO jokes. I mean, really, a few PHBs (that didn't want Linux anyway) pretended like this helped their case and the rest of the world kept putting those Slackware/Debian/Redhat/SuSE disks in the drive.
Since the dot-bomb crash, the only cool workspace gadget I get is The Pail(TM) -- It doubles as both a lunchbox *and* a chair! Had to sell my Aeron to pay the rent..
On another note, would someone like to invest in my new venture? ipail.com. I sell pail and pail accessories.
I wrote a quick paper blowing away most people who jump in with ".. should ahve run OBSD! Most securister ever!! Rahh!" You can read it here. I'd like people to contribute reasons they think OpenBSD is "the bestest thing for security since the NRA!!!!" and such. Contact information are at the top of the piece, have fun.
I just crawled out of a bad karma slump, and here I go getting myself back into it..
I'm actually one of the guys operating these things (and that suggested Linux in the first place.) It's awesome to see Linux keeping up with its "cheaper, faster, and better" attitude.
We're so impressed with Linux, we're running one rig at >110 with 2.6.0-test3. We'll save hundreds of thousands of dollars more. It even has 802.11g, as I'm typing this ri--*eerrrrrrrrrr* *sqqqqqueeeeeellll* *BOOM*
"Our little departmental server has been slashdotted twice in the last year and survived!"
I hope the dupe jokes that get posted are better than what I had here before I decided to just post this in hopes of drawing better jokes later in the thread. They weren't good! But when are they?
ThizLinux is effective run entirely as root... you shouldn't have had to 'guess' the password was blank, because when you were at the console you were root.
I get the feeling you've probably never come across one of these machines and you just wanted to show off your impressive Linux knowledge.
Arrrggghhhh, another case of something free going pay. It was a reasonable test a few months ago, and I thought as far as commercial sites go it gave pretty decent results. I'm sorry I wasted your time on that link, should have rechecked it.
Slashdot Mirror
but before I invest my hard-earned yen, I have to ask...
... does it run Linux?
In Soviet Russia, RIAA pays YOU!
Oh.. why can't I get modded up?
I have no karma.
First post.
Until SCO divulges the infringing code?
*winks and waits for his -1, Offtopic*
