As the snow begins to melt and the first buds of spring begin to swell, the Linux, thin and gaunt from a winter's starvation, begins to seek out others of its own kind, gathering at the swiftly thawing ponds and lakes. Soon, great flocks of Linux will begin their long migration south to their summer breeding grounds. Many will not make it, too exhausted from their journey to continue, or falling victim to the many predators who dog their steps on their long flight...
Running Linux does not make you invincable. It would be an easy thing to include some "if (OS == LINUX)" code. A captive Linux box is a worthier target than an XP box, and there are no "automatic" tools to sweep it clean. Many Linux users don't know all the things running on their box, nor pay much attention to it. Do YOU know what all the processes from "ps -ef" do? Are you sure that the process named is really that process?
Exactly. Everybody does it. I don't see how this is any different than Microsoft and Oracle's EULAs which say you can't publish benchmarks without their permission.
I'd never heard of GUBA, but I'm real curious how they "index" multimedia that's got names like "4er0s1x03.rar" (that's "Heros, season 1 episode 3" for the unitiated). People name things like that to avoid getting caught by *AA filter bots. Seriously, how can they index all that stuff with all those cute non-machine-readable names?

dust off and nike the website from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Because the election is one week away.
That'll teach 'em to say "All your money are belong to us".

Trust me, it was meant to be "Funny", but "EmbeddedJanitor"'s response was much funnier.
Instead of "How To Make Your Friends Call You More", we need "How To Make Friends".

What are you talking about? I see unix all the time.

There was a Saturday Night Live "commercial" back in the seventies - "Track 3 - bacause you'll beleive anything".

What about the people who make their own install media with the service packs already integrated?
Don't open it! Remember what happened to Pandora!
No.

What is gained by building the building once you have the architectural drawings?
The Soviets jammed Radio Free Europe for years. Fax machines were illegal in the USSR. Foriegn newspapers were banned.
Do ya think they'll carry "Destroy All Humans 2"?
He was also the voice of KARR from Knight Rider; KARR was KITT's "evil prototype", which I always thought was a screamingly funny concept.
Whoah. Stalk much? Too bad we cant mod "Gulp".
It's creepy how easy it is to pierce Internet anonymity.
