On the other hand, if the rate at which a single zombie can send spam drops by 1000, and the CPU use on that zombie is 100% the entire time, the utility to the spammer drops by 1000 times, and the probability that the real owner of the zombie computer will attempt to fix his (now incredibly slow) computer will go up.
I haven't had any trouble ripping (my admittedly somewhat old DVDs) with VLC.app, FairMount.app and HandBrake.app, all just dropped in my ~/Applications (not the system Applications) directory.
I did run VLC manually once, and it might have installed the libs that FairMount uses in a well known location... I'm unsure.
Bullshit. Come to the north coast of CA and see the difference between old and new growth redwood. Old growth has much finer rings because the tree was competing for sunlight with the other trees. Water is plentiful.
"god did it" is a little different from, "there seems to be a source of gravitational attraction, we're not sure what it is, but it seems distinct from 'regular' matter; let's call it 'dark matter' while we continue to investigate."
I do that too. Recently I signed up for a new account and the screwed up the checks so I called about it. They (BofA) sent me an email asking me to fill out a survey about my experience on the phone. I immediately thought it was a phishing email. Even after checking the URLs and the fact that it was sent to the email only BofA 'knows', I was skeptical. But the survey site never asked for any info about my account, and the URLs were legit.
So how is it that the FBI director can't figure this stuff out?
I just got the 32GB 3GS, upgrading from a 6+ year old SE T-616. My wife soon after dropped her 1st Gen iPhone and "had" to upgrade to the 3GS. Ok, sure there were some lines of dead pixels on the screen, and it acted flakey sometimes, but hey, it booted and made phone calls!:-)
Garmin will still sell lots of GPS units. They may not be the ones which compete with the iPhone and others, but in CA, it's illegal to use a 'nav system' in a car without it being permanently mounted (IIRC). Also, I've got 2 Garmin GPS units, one for my bike and one for my wrist when running. A friend took his iPhone on a mtn bike ride and was trying to use it for navigation, but was screwed by the fact that he needed internet for the app to work and he was out in the middle of no where.
NO religion is a religion of peace... some belief systems engender more peaceful believers than others (jain), but religions are evolved to out compete and violently do away with beliefs which conflict with them.
The first Prince of Persia I played was on my Apple//e. Games should be about playability, not whiz-bang graphics. My friend showed me the hot game for is PS2 when it was still the hot game console, and I was dumbfounded by how weak the game was for playability and how long on boring movie-like transition scenes.
PIX can also be very stupid. We had one which would drop a packet while rsync'ing email from one system to another because the packet looked like an exploit to the PIX.
iptables replaced ipchains, not the other way around like you stated.
I'm not using Slackware, I'm using RHEL5.
My comment was a bit off because (having re-read the parent I replied to) the original poster was talking about slackware being a great environment for learning about building your own kernel (possibly meaning only Linux kernels), and I expanded that to 'Linux is a great enviornment to learning about how to build an OS kernel' and suggested that NetBSD was a better environment for learning about building OS kernels.
Oh, and I replied to myself indicating about how I got it to work.
No, it was more about the oddness that the kernel supported the 'statistic' module, but the RPM for the userland and the module for iptables didn't supply it. And no one elsewhere on the net had rebuilt 1.3.6 for RHEL5 and made it available. Both of those I found odd.
Then, trying to get the stuff to build I thought was much more difficult than it needed to be. Perhaps that's because I come from a BSD background, where "the system" is largely maintained by a core group and all available in one spot: *bsd.org (for various values of *:-)
I don't think Linux overall is a nightmare, but I don't think the whole binary package thing solves all the problems, and it certainly creates some (building isn't made as easy/documented as well as it could be) when it fails.
Finally managed to get it to work: edit ipfilter.spec to require 'kernel-devel' instead of 'kernel-source' build the kernel source rpm and symlink/usr/src/linux >/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/... rpmbuild -bb ipfilter.
The build and symlink step was necessary because the building of the 'libipt_statistic.so' module I wanted (for dropping packets at a random probibility or interval) was conditionally built based on finding a couple of files: $KERNEL_DIR/net/netfilter/xt_statistic.c $KERNEL_DIR/include/linux/netfilter/xt_statistic.h (and KERNEL_DIR was set (by rpmbuild I assume) to/usr/src/linux.
Now I'll find out whether the module panics the box or not:-)

The totally frictionless black ship stolen from the Restaurant at the end of the Universe would never have ice/snow stick to it...

Huh? My djbdns (tinydns/dnscache) doesn't talk to my ISP's DNS servers, it starts at the root and works its way down, just like it's supposed to.

I guess I was just lucky, I got sex on my birthday and our anniversary.
But but, maybe 'gmail.com' _is_ his email server, and he just lets lots and lots of other people use it!

Heh, I had way more disposable income when I was "living at home" than when I moved out and started paying rent or mortgage.

Sincerity is the secret to success.
Once you can fake that, you've got it made!

As far as I know, it varies quit a bit, and you can pay more and get more, or with a card, you can grow yourself.
Dude, you want pot, move to CA, get your medical marijuana card and go to town.
Yeah, I realized that, but an electric water pump feeding a toilet is a bit different from an electric toilet.
You've got an electric toilet? Weird, you from Japan or something?

A snowball insulated with enough money lasts quite awhile here.

Wow, your comment is just all kinds of wrong...
