  2. Re:Social Engineering on Scamming Spammer Hooks the Wrong Person · · Score: 1

    I got one of those too, but I had my doubts when the email came from a dial-up in Germany. Oh, and my lack of a Citibank account.

  3. Re:Royal Bank of Canada invested in SCO? on Microsoft Behind SCO Cash Investment? · · Score: 1

    CIBC is, without a doubt, the most retarded bank I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Ever.

    People still quote this document as if it had some sort of relevance: http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/bsd_flier.html

  5. I HUNGER on Can Kids Tolerate Classic Games? · · Score: 1

    Feh. Lock them in a room with Sinistar, and see how long it is until they go raving mad.

    RUN, COWARD!

  6. Re:"Backing off" deserved profits? on SCO Backing Off Linux Invoice Plan · · Score: 1

    Read it again. That's Gartner analyst George Weiss, not an SCO crony. I don't see it as cheerleading at all - he knows exactly what they're doing.

  7. Re:License plate on Wired Interview with Linus Torvalds · · Score: 1

    How about a copy of Mandrake 8.2 and some of those mini Snickers bars?

  8. Re:Stability? on Linux 2.6 Kernel Stability Freeze · · Score: 1

    I'd agree with what you said except for the ACPI/APM and software suspend stuff, which are totally broken for many, many people right now. Some major overhauls happening, so we'll see if they get done for 2.6.

    Shouldn't that be Assholes for $699?

    I don't even think they have brains interfacing with their mouths anymore.

    Except there's not going to be a jury trial.

  12. Re:So that's where it came from!! on SGI's Letter to the Linux Community · · Score: 1

    Linux users are asking, ''Why do they hate us?''

    They hate what they see right here in this website: a patch-penguin-elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of beer, our freedom of speech, our freedom to be bald and dress up like James Bond and wave guns around while extolling the virtues of Python.

    Linux users are asking, How will we fight and win this war?

    We gave them ample opportunity to turn over Darl McBride. We made it very clear to them, in no uncertain terms, that in order to avoid punishment they should turn over the parasites that hide in their organization.
    They obviously refused to do so, and now they're paying a price. We are dismantling their vending machines, disrupting their communications, farting in their general direction, ranting and spouting, severing their ability to defend themselves, and slowly but surely we're smoking SCO out of their caves so we can bring them to justice. For great justice!

    In terms of Mr. McBride himself, we'll get him running. We'll smoke him out of his cave and we'll get him eventually. You cannot hide! Utah is not big enough to stay in forever!

  13. Re:Hmm on FBI Investigating Lamo Via Patriot Act Provision · · Score: 4, Informative

    Especially not when he uses his access to run thousands of dollars in bills using that network to, basically, ego surf (he accessed the Times' Lexis account to lookup references to himself).

    They have a flat-rate account with N-L. It didn't cost them anything more than it would have normally.

  14. Re:Magic? on KernelTrap Interview With Rusty Russell · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think it has something to do with the anticipatory scheduling patches, right? It knows what you're going to do, and then when you finally plug in the CPU, it runs the backlog.

  15. Umm... on Review: Sun StarOffice 7 · · Score: 1

    Although I don't have an accurate method of reliably measuring the time it takes to start the program, I'd say its about twice as fast as StarOffice 6.

    Maybe one of these would help. Difficult to operate, I know.

    Legally, yes. Morally, well, that's up to you to decide.

    Do we want to live in a society where people are unwilling to turn off somebody's headlights because they're afraid of being thrown in jail?

    I know this is basic, and here's what steps I've taken to find the answer

    That's the biggest one, right there. I'll help anybody who shows me they at least attempted to find a solution. It's also easier to help people when you know what they looked for and what they expected to find. If you're getting bombarded by newbie questions, it can be a clue to the quality of your documentation.

    As for "used memory" keeping increasing... You just have way too much memory.

    Heh. Look how far we've come.

    576 MB of RAM is too much for anybody!

    Seek and we shall find; I conducted a survey or people using linux and I found 100% of them couldn't get samba to talk to a Win2K server.

    Well, that's certainly interesting. I conducted a similar survey, and I actually found that 100% of them had absolutely no problems at all. Guess that proves that then.
