  5. The CCC didn't do that!!! on CCC Mods Rent-a-Bike To Allow Free Rides · · Score: 5, Informative

    The CCC only got a detailed report about the system and the hack from an anonymous source, and they just published it online and in their magazine.

    Ah, why have they then bought 200 (in words: two-hundred) boxes of Caldera's Linux distribution (forgot the name, it was before Caldera was the new SCO) a few years ago...?

    You just know the wrong geek chicks. I learnt a number of geek chicks that are very hot, and by "very hot" I mean extremely damn fucking hot, so hot that I would immediately want to get laid by them.

    I loved how they implied masturbation is worse than heorin addiction.

    Well, it is, but only when it comes to the addiction itself, but not in the effects of deprivation or the negative health effects on the body. Actually, regularly masturbating is quite healthy, as it helps preventing all kinds of prostate illnesses from prostatitis to prostate cancer, and it definitely makes happy.

  12. Re:Elena was debunked a while ago. on A New Elena Story · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because riding through Chernobyl on a motorcycle would be inherently risky, dangerous, unlawful and maybe even lethal. When a person claims they are portraying an event, with photographs, they are implying they actually experienced that event, unless of course we're in the realm of fantasy. Which would be fine.

    Nevertheless, some guys at IAEA had their fun with this website. A close friend of mine knows a few people who work for them in Vienna, and when he showed them the website, they were manically laughing and stating that if it was really true, she would die in about 2 years.

  13. Re:What's the problem? on Siemens Sells Skype Adapters For Wireless Phones · · Score: 1

    The Czech "Budweiser" is being produced since 1265, so the American beer can't have been around before. Get the facts here. Who's the liar now?

  14. Re:What's the problem? on Siemens Sells Skype Adapters For Wireless Phones · · Score: 1

    I'm from Austria, and the original Budweiser is called "Budweiser" here. I remember one friend trying to order a "Budvar" when we were in Berlin, and he was asked "so, you mean Budweiser?".

  15. Re:What's the problem? on Siemens Sells Skype Adapters For Wireless Phones · · Score: 1

    Probably it's a continental Europe thing. I don't exactly remember where I read it, but it seems to be some of the developments of EU bureaucracy that tries to protect European stuff (and in particular, food) from competitors from outside of Europe.

  16. Re:What's the problem? on Siemens Sells Skype Adapters For Wireless Phones · · Score: 1

    I tell you something: you've all been conned. The beer you drink and call "Budweiser" has absolutely nothing to do with the original Budweiser beer. It's even forbidden for the U.S. beer to call itself "Budweiser" in Europe. That's why they sell it under the name "Amheuser-Busch" here in Europe (still, hardly anybody buys it except for kiddies who think that American beer is cool).

  17. Disgusting on Windows Source Code Seller Arrested · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I find it disgusting that /. (and other news sites) publish the arrested person's full name. This person is not yet proven guilty, and still has a right for privacy and personal integrity - when a British newspaper published the names of convicted child molesters, lynch mobs formed to try to hunt down and kill those people. This should never happen, as it is totally against the concept of a modern constitutional state.

    Thanks, Henning, for your insight. If I was in need for a good BGP implementation, I would probably take the challenge and do a port to Linux, but currently, I am not.

  21. Doesn't compile on Linux on OpenBSD Project Announces OpenBGPD · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yesterday, I tried to compile OpenBGPD on Linux. Unfortunately, there is no "portable version" available (unlike OpenSSH), and the source code contains a lot of #includes and library function that are specific to (Open)BSD. That obviously doesn't help portability, and I'm a bit sad that the OpenBSD project doesn't go the portable way and makes its userland as easily compilable on other Unices as possible.

  22. Re:Everything but the internet on The Real da Vinci Code · · Score: 4, Informative

    The original quote is (cited from my memory, but I've heard the sound file about a million times): "during my service for the United Status Congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet"

    Another memorable quote from him is "I'm not an expert on computers".

  23. Re:By the grace of God, let's hope NASA's fixed th on Space Shuttle to re-launch in May · · Score: 4, Insightful

    IMHO it was never bad engineering, but bad quality management. All the big catastrophes, be it on NASA's or ESA's side, could have caught by a rigorous net of quality management processes. But these net don't seem to exist in either of the two organization, at least not the extent where it makes them find errors.

    The Columbia had a Pentium 233 MHz with a Linux installation on board (hardly anybody still remembers that one of Columbia's goals was to test communication with earth over normal IP on top of NASA's proprietary protocols), so faster CPUs _are_ possible.
