    I get the point. I was just kidding about Slashdotting sites. I'm just anxious to see a real DoS attack. Any idea where I can find some code to see how it actually works?

    Post the link here on slashdot and we'll DoS them - distributedly. Heck, they won't even arrest us :-) We don't DoS site, we SlashDoS them

  5. Re:WTF on Time to Try a Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    I donno what YOUR problem is, but I've been running Fedora Core 2 on 3 of my sytems. One is for hardcore programming - 30 user accounts. One is a movie/music/file server running smb and vsftpd - around 20 users at any given time and the third one is for my personal use. I've been using RH since it's 7.0 and now FC 1 and 2. I've had no problems installing/maintaining/updating as of now.

    I've been saying it for 2 years. Believe me, switching to Linux's worth the trouble of installing it.

    And I'm the noob who used UBBCode on Slashdot
    Never did that either

  8. Never used altavista... on Microsoft Employee Allegedly Hacked AltaVista · · Score: 1

    ...but search results at http://search.msn.com look similar to the results given by google. When I searched for "linux vs microsoft" a month back, it showed 0 results...pretty weak, huh? Well, I should've tried "linux vs windows". When I tried it a couple of minutes ago, it's working damn fine. Looks like M$ is in a hurry to start competing with google and altavista.

  9. Re:Thanks a lot! on Online MD5 Cracking Service · · Score: 1, Informative

    Goatse does exist. Just that goatse.cx doesn't exist anymore. Try googling for goatse's mirrors...if not, let me know, I'll mail you those pics + tub girl + final solution - yep, I got 'em all :-)

  10. also the government on India's Digital Village · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The Indian Government is sponsoring a couple of projects which aim at improving the agricultural and living conditions of rural India through the use of Information and Communication Technologies(ICTs). I am currently working as a system developer for one such project, Web-based Information Dissemination System. Nice to see govt. of India taking an inititative, finally.

  12. Yeah, one more law suit on Affinity Engines Says Google Stole Orkut Code · · Score: 1

    Orkut is by far one of the most popular social networking sites(most popular?). Heck, everyone in my class is on Orkut...and there are few guys who keep Orkut in one of the browser tabs *all the time*. I guess nobody here really cares about the law suit anyway.

  13. Re:WTF is going on? on Slackware 10.0 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    let see... you complain about FC being 6.9Gb and then complain that slackware only have 3 console fonts instead of 20 as FC??

    Okay, my mistake. Anyway, I installed Slackware now and loving every moment of it. It's small and no-shit. But man, it sure generates lot of dependencies when I try to install a rpm :-( I think I'll use it for few more days and if everything goes well, bye bye FC2.

    Good to see Iraqis adopting FOSS so soon and so well. *This* is a major step forward for Linux.

  17. WTF is going on? on Slackware 10.0 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Downloaded the 2 CD Slackware 10.0, officially. Been using Redhat 7.2/8/9, FC 1/2 till now, since 3 years. I didn't like Slack at all. Wait, it's not a flamebait and I'm not "just-another-rh-lover". I'll tell you why I didn't like Slackware. First of all, it's a great distro. A complete installation of 3 GB is great compared to FC2's 6.9 GB. All those window managers, greeeeat!!! But, when I log in, my favourite "Sans" font was missing :-( So are "Serif" and "Sans-Serif". I use "konsole" along with my Gnome. With FC2, there were some 20 fonts to chose from for konsole fonts. Slack gives just 3? Guys, don't blast me...let me know how to make my Slack work. I really like it and it's time I decided to move from Fedora.

  18. Too desperate on ESR's Halloween XI -- Get the FUD · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The "Get the Facts" series is one of the funniest things I've ever read, especially about linux. M$ is unable to digest the fact that more and more governments are going for F/OSS. With hardware becoming surprisingly cheaper(well, atleast for some governments), they are no longer willing to spend more money for software. Even some state governments are switching to linux. The time/money involved in training the staff to adopt to linux is better than sinking huge amounts into fighting viruses and frequent shutdowns.
