  1. Re:SYN attacks are not bandwidth hogs on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I will. I haven't gotten anything yet, though...

  2. Re:Backscatter on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 1

    I was so interested that I dug up some more links here, here and here.

  4. Re:SYN attacks are not bandwidth hogs on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Since so many people sue IBM, I wonder why nobody bothered to take the ibmlawsuit.com domain up to now? As you can see here, I regged it just recently. (Annoying CAPTCHA response required) Oh well, at least it's going to a good cause ;-). I just hope IBM doesn't get unhappy about me owning the domain name....

    I don't have an affiliate account with Amazon, if that's what you're asking. Check it out yourself. It's just blatant karma-whoring ;-)

    Your second link is kinda slow too, but it seems valid... pops up a sco front page...

  9. Blast it... on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This is a dupe, or at least 90% of one. There are a thousand links from the previous slashdot discussion to Groklaw, like this, this, and this, not to mention this, plus this and most definitely this. And many of those are rated +5 as well.

    On a side note, I can't access SCO's website or ftp site from University of Wisc @ Madison computers.

    I'm going to go update scoreport.com now... (Link in my sig)

  10. Re:lies on SCO Group Web Site Attacked Again · · Score: 1

    What did the EULA say? I would dl the iso myself, but I can't access SCO's ftp site (as of 11:57 AM Central time, Thursday)

  12. Re:hmmmm... on ICANN Troubles At UN Summit On Internet · · Score: 1

    Actually, when the UN was formed, it was intended that there would be an international army, under UN control only. But the Soviets and the US were never able to agree upon the composition of the army, and so no army has been formed...

  14. department... on ICANN Troubles At UN Summit On Internet · · Score: 4, Funny

    from the kofi-and-elmo-presiding dept.

    Personally, I'd prefer it if Elmo was presiding. Elmo makes more sense than all the diplomats put together.

  15. Forget Them... on ICANN Troubles At UN Summit On Internet · · Score: 0, Troll

    If the UN ever controls the Internet, forget it: I'm building my own damn (inter)network. What do we want controlling the Internet: a bunch of stupid diplomats, most from dictatorial nations, or a democratic, open ICANN? Granted, sometimes ICANN does screw up, but it does a decent job.

  16. Re:Let's make sure they know where I live.... on DIY Cruise Missile Grounded · · Score: 1

    I got the SCO reference, but what does this reference mean?:

    Hmmm. tsk, tsk. There it is again, on page 460: it appears you've expressed contempt for entrepreneurial citizens who are utilizing government-to-public transfered technology for marketing and promoting products from the American Pharmaceutical industries. Once again, Mr Ashcroft notes this as "anti-industry" in his notes.

  17. Goodbye, SCO.... on SCO Investor Changing the Deal · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, it was fun bashing SCO while it lasted, but finally some investors have gotten some brains smacked into them and are wising up to SCO's ways. As I always said, the faster SCO goes bankrupt, the faster I can get SCO stuff at the bankruptcy auction for cheap....

    Wonder if SCO would sell me some of their copyrights to UNIX....

    LOL, I hear you.

    I just checked GoDaddy though, and SCOfflaw.com is taken, and so is fiaSCO.com

  21. Terrific... on Head Of ATF To Direct RIAA Anti-Piracy · · Score: 1

    If they extend ATF protection to music, then they should extend protection to email inboxes and software piracy. Now, while money is wasted kicking down college dorm doors, inboxes are flooded, software is stolen, all without the slightest bit of federal worry...

    SOBs.

    Wait a sec... Is there a way to perhaps require music to be attached to email? Like, you allow people to download your music off your website with the proviso they attach it to any emails they send, (doesn't have to be much, a midi file doing "dah dee de dum") and that the license to use the music is revoked if you send spam, so if you send spam with the music file attached, bam, license revoked, and you officially have no license for the music on your hd....

  22. You don't need a real cruise missile... on DIY Cruise Missile Grounded · · Score: 5, Insightful

    However, there have also been a number of people who claim I'm overstating the case and that it's not possible to build a real cruise missile without access to sophisticated gear, specialist tools and information not readily available outside the military.

    You don't need a *real* cruise missile, you just need a model aircraft. In fact, I've been thinking about getting one (not to build a missile, of course, but just to play with). There are even ones with gas turbines. Hell, do you really need a lot of explosives to terrorize someone/some group? You could even just load a model aircraft up with some colored gas, dump it over a group of people, and probably someone would get trampled to death in the rush to escape. I'm not a chemist, but I'm sure there's a heavier than air colored gas that's nonlethal that can be easily obtained. Even a model helicopter would be fine.

  24. Re:Why would use a nuke against a house? on Spamholes Fighting Spammers · · Score: 1

    Well, nukes are just more fun than conventional bombs... I would have said use one of those 100 megaton nuclear bombs we have strapped onto ICBMs, but that seemed a tiny bit of an overkill...

    I suppose if we really needed to be sensitive to all those human rights groups (I know what you're thinking: spammers have rights?... But I digress) we could always call for a special ops team to break into Ralsky's home, run into the basement, use their M16s against the computers, make sure every hard drive, CD and data storage device is completely trashed, then just get out of there. No loss of life, and one spammer that has to start from scratch...

    I have to admit though, it pisses me off that he's living so well out of causing other people trouble...

  25. Re:Don't give in to Apple's lies. on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    As another poster mentioned, this was copied from here. But here's something extra, about BSD:

    ADDENDUM III (4/20/2002): Another reader (it has been busy today!) has informed me of another link between Apple and the forces of darkness that my initial research missed. Apparently the Darwin OS is not the original creation of Apple Computers but is instead based off of an older, obsolete OS called "BSD Unix". The child-indoctrinatingly-cute cartoon mascot of this OS is a devil holding a pitchfork (pictured right) [Picture is here. This OS -- and its Darwin offspring -- extensively use what are called "daemons" (which is how Pagans write "demon" -- they are notoriously poor spellers: magick, vampyre, etc.) which is a program that hides in the background, doing things without the user's notice. If you are using a new Macintosh running OS X then you probably have these "daemons" on your computer, hardly something a good Christian would want! This clearly illustrates that not only is Macintosh based on Darwinism, but Darwinism is based on Satanism.

    So, all you BSDers, prepare to go to hell! mu ha ha ha...
