  1. wow... on Is Open Source Fertile Ground for Foul Play? · · Score: 1

    I read the headline and instantly thought of SCO arranging a hit on Linus...

    nah... no brain, no pain :P

  3. Re:Scooby Snacks: Think of the butter on SCOoby Snacks · · Score: 1

    So, it seems that regardless of whether or not "SCO's [man]butter" was used to "bake the cake," (per your analogy)

    I was fine with this up until I saw manbutter...

    Christ! That's awful, and I'm not going to eat *ANY* of that cake!

  4. Re:Beavis & Butthead on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 1

    Musical?

    Something like:

    Homer [sorta flintstones theam music]:
    Welcome to krusty burger,
    The greatest food in history,
    All I want is a ribwitch,
    with a billion or more calories!
    (homer is dooling as he's at the krusty burger window)

    Lisa [Slow sad, les miserables style]:
    But think of the poor animals,
    what have they done?
    bring about a saving grace,
    for your heart is nearly done!
    (zoom in on homer's heart all nasty)

    Bart [rap style]:
    Chill miss sis,
    Don't you know the cow is wack,
    the best way to serve it is in a stack!
    (Bart munches on a 10 burger stack inbetween two rolls)

    Marge:
    Now children, get along, and homer, put away the gunnnn.
    (Homer puts away the gun he was waving around to get a ribwitch)

    (horriable I know :P)

    I guess the current mods and users don't understand how to generate a proper charged pun without it being grounded...

    actually I'd figure this would be great as static pages don't change that often...

  7. Re:Second that on Bandwidth in Little Rock, AR? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Something else is that the LR location will be moving within the next 2.5 years, and most local telco's won't touch a short lease for this much bandwidth...

    I would recommend you move before investing in such a fat pipe to be honest. You've survived for awhile with how it is, so why not just suck it up and deal with it until your where you can play far more in advanced. Maybe even get it to that when they move the pipe is already there and waiting.

  8. Re:mydoom source on MyDoom.C Making Its Way Across The Net · · Score: 1

    My point is this:
    kormoc@rob-lnx tmp $ bash foo
    The program was run
    kormoc@rob-lnx tmp $ ls -l foo
    -rw-r--r-- 1 kormoc users 27 Feb 11 02:36 foo

    and yes, as you can see, it works, but that's not what happens when you get a attachment, this is what would happen:
    kormoc@rob-lnx tmp $ ./foo
    bash: ./foo: Permission denied
    kormoc@rob-lnx tmp $ mv foo foo.sh
    kormoc@rob-lnx tmp $ ./foo.sh
    bash: ./foo.sh: Permission denied

    You see, you assume the user will take foo and pass it though bash, and yes, passing it though bash will cause it to run without the +x flag, but when you get a attachment from a email or somewhere else, and you double click on it, it doesn't go, hrm, this looks like a bash script, I'll just send it to bash and see's what happens. It will ask you what you want to do with the file, save it or open it with a program. if you then tell it to pass though the bash program, it's your fault, it's not linux.

    second the lowlevel exec call infact does check, you are running BASH, not your script, and BASH is allowed to run, so what BASH does after it's run is not upto the exec flag to say, hrm, I don't know if they ment to pass a script to this program, so I guess I'll just lock them out, that would be horrible.

    My point remains, you can't send a executable via email that the user runs without knowing they ran it...

  9. Re:mydoom source on MyDoom.C Making Its Way Across The Net · · Score: 1

    so how does typing bash myscript.txt make it run automagicly? and second, you do not need to reset ownership, as long as you have read rights, you can run a script, not that it will always run correctly, but it will try.

    The point is it's hard to email someone a shell script and have them run it without them knowing it's a script.

    I don't know about you, but email doesn't perserve file execute primissions so even if you chmod +x it, email it to me, and I click on it, it still won't run until I save it, chmod +x it and then click it.

    You see the difference?
