Don't forget everyone, when you see an anti-Sony article use that "zonked" tag! It will be an impressive site come November when you search and see how anti-Sony Slashdot has become.
Why does it bother you whether Slashdot is pro or anti Sony? Why do you believe it is important enough to spend your free time writing about?
If you put a bit of thought and self analysis into answering those questions, you might gain some valuable insights into your own personality.
But don't post about them. There is enough depressing shit on the Internet as it is.
Frick, what did they do, make you waste a half day on an interview and then not run the story or something? The article, the experiment, and the researchers are all legitimate, you make it sound like this was a UFO sighting or someone sticking a piece of metal in their arm and calling themselves a cyborg or something.
You've never read New Scientist have you? I'm guessing you're in the US and that you assume it's similar to Scientific American. You are mistaken. The only reason a real scientist would read it is for the job adverts, which make up approximately 50% of the magazine.
Go and read the article if you haven't already. That's not some cut-down summary for the web. That's the whole article from the print edition. Lots of the stories in the Slashdot section come from New Scientist. You can tell from the way that half the comments are along the lines of "Where's the fucking details?".
Gee, I can't imagine why you were banned. Next time you want a new IP just change your MAC and reboot, unless that's to stupid for you.
For a story all about tech support humour, there sure are a shitload of humourless cocksuckers commenting. The parent post was so obviously a joke that anybody who thought otherwise should simply commit suicide immediately. Fuck you and the other hundred self righteous donkey raping retards.
So there is a security flaw in a top of the line Cisco firewall that can be used for a denial-of-service attack of computers behind it. And no one seems to care.
No, there isn't. You just think there is because this whole story went so far over your head. Thanks for your contribution - no need to make any more though.
Everyone here seems to be concentrating on FreeDOS running on x86. Which is fine -- x86 is the dominant architecture, after all, but I'd be really interested in a stable, minimalist OS that would run on other architectures as well -- perhaps architectures that there aren't any open-source OSes available for right now.
The problem is that DOS has always been rather intimately tied to the x86 architecture. So much so, that I'm not even certain that the concept of DOS for e.g. PowerPC actually makes any sense.
It's all 16 bit x86 real mode code and BIOS calls and interrupt service routines. You'd not only have to re-code the whole thing for another architecture, you'd have to re-design it as well.
I must disagree. Firefox is easily the ugliest application ever created.
Have you tried looking at some websites in it? That's what I usually do when I need a break from contemplating the aesthetic shortcomings of the interface.

EXT4 Is Coming

will i be able to upgrade from ext3 to ext4?
No, absolutely not. In fact you won't even be able to move your old files across. You will need to recreate all your documents from scratch on your new ext4 fs. Have fun.
Perhaps there could be an OS that wouldn't allow malware to be injected through root-trust, signed applications, memory compartmentalization with read, write, execute permissions and 4 privilege levels (instead of 2). Of course, that wouldn't be Windows or Linux or BSD or any other generic OS.
Oh, it's you again. How tedious. Still pimping you employer's vapourware bullshit without a word of explanation as to how the 4 privilege levels actually make the OS unbreakable in real life.
Do us all a favour and stop breathing, you astroturfing little cocksucker.
I'll try and dig out the URL you posted some time ago, so we can all tell them how much we appreciate you spamming Slashdot.
Tor is considerably faster. Throughput up to 60K/sec on a 512k/sec DSL line (as fast as it ever goes with no proxy) means that it's practical to use for all traffic and makes the needle much harder to find in the haystack.
So basically, you are advocating the use of Tor for all traffic including P2P / Bittorrent and indeed do so yourself.
You Sir, are a cock. There are probably people in repressed countries trying to use Tor to look at politically sensitive websites and finding that the system has been saturated by some selfish twat in the US who doesn't want anyone to know he's downloading some shitty movie that he could buy for $5 if he wasn't too lazy to get off his fat ass.
Why can't someone hack something useful like a cheap gigabit 16 port router?
You're confusing a switch with a router and as such would do well to avoid this kind of project entirely. You have more chance of getting Linux to run on a toaster than an 8 port gigabit switch.
NetBSD is great for older systems that wont modern software.
Agreed - installing NetBSD is a great way to ensure your system won't run any modern software.
Seriously, your post was the lamest attempt at advocacy I've ever seen. Where's the link to the NetBSD live-CD that fits in the same space as DSL, supports all the same hardware and has equivalent apps? If it doesn't exist, the only conclusion one can draw is that you're a fucking time waster. And let's face it - it doesn't.
Kde seems a little faster but perhaps its my imagination.
I expect so - in my experience NetBSD advocates have wonderful imaginations. I'm particularly thinking of the guy on OSNews who claimed he was running the Nvidia Linux drivers on NetBSD under binary emulation and getting 30% higher frame rates for Quake 4. Classic.
We used to interface with their network techs all the time who eventually revealed to us that 99% of their gear was Cisco equipment.
Wow, I bet they didn't even make their own Ethernet cable! In all seriousness, I don't think Lucent have ever really produced anything precisely equivalent to Cisco's big routers and network switches. They are more of a telecoms company.
If Lucent had been using a Cisco PBX, you'd have a much better point.
We're going to less than 1 i.p. address per human to 50 octillion i.p. addresses per human.
Since it will no longer be practical to ban by i.p. addresses other measures will be required.
Did it occur to you that you could just ban their entire, contiguous range of IPv6 addresses? You don't necessarily have to type in all 6 squillion IPs manually, one at a time.
PS. I'm pretty sure "octillion" is not a real number. Please stop making stuff up and use the proper terminology like I do.
I haven't forgotten at all - the way he hacked one of your trolling buddies was fucking awesome.
I particularly enjoy the way you have all been whining about it ever since. I like to imagine a group of little girls with pigtails all crying "But it's just not fair! We were supposed to be trolling him and he turned around and fucked us like bitches! Sob."
In summary, you failed it. Your total failure to deal with that fact simply confirms that you shouldn't have been trolling in the first place.
PS. The "victim" had an XServer running on Windows exposed the Internet. Just so everybody knows the calibre of the people we're talking about.
First thing it did was BLUE SCREEN on me. Oh teh hilarity! I am not kidding, look here:
You're running it on Virtual PC, so this is not really relevant. Lots of Operating Systems which run perfectly well on real hardware crash when run under virtualisation.
Your total failure to note that rather important fact in your comment makes it a little disingenuous and, dare I say, karma whoring.
The irony is that the regular workers who show up in person at the office spend a lot of the day loafing around, playing computer games, surfing, wandering from cube to cube chatting, and generally not doing, you know, work. Management sees it but doesn't do much about it. But do this on company time where they can't see it? ouch.
Wow, sounds like you work for a company that has retarded management, unmotivated employees and which really, really, sucks. So, not really the best argument against telecommuting. A good argument against working for shitty companies, though.
I just wanted to quote those 2 lines from your post next to each other for the delicious irony. Only a fucking sheep and a zealot would feel the need to tell us what application and OS he used to type his worthless post.
If you can't manage this task, you need to step down from your high horse and accept that all your friends aren't willing to make the sacrifices that you are in the name of supporting Linux.
I was thinking of switching to OSX. Unfortunately I wasn't willing to make the necessary sacrifice, namely being a stuck up little wanker with a superiority complex.

Well Einstein, as soon as you figure out how to do that please let the manufacturer of VMWare know so that we can all play games under it.

I just upgraded my iMac G5 with a WD Raptor (10kRPM SATA). And my subjective benchmarks reveal an almost 4x increase in the speed of common tasks.
As a general rule, if a Mac user notices a subjective 4x increase in speed, that's probably equivalent to an objective 5% speed increase.
First thing it did was BLUE SCREEN on me. Oh teh hilarity! I am not kidding, look here:

Your total failure to note that rather important fact in your comment makes it a little disingenuous and, dare I say, karma whoring.
oh...and did I mention it can scan
the WHOLE darn spectrum...not just the Wi-Fi spectrum?
So you can easily detect the bursts of high energy Gamma rays I am firing at you as punishment for using inaccurate language?

People will wait for me to visit the office..even if thats many weeks - rather than pick up the phone.
I've never found that at all. Of course, I do work for a telecoms company which may make people more used to picking up the phone.
He doesn't volunteer to take projects so people forget about him and don't offer him projects.
And then there'll be a performance review and he'll probably be let go because he isn't involved in enough projects.
Unless he has friends in high places, which would apply whether he works in the office or at home.
"While the Voles may be disinterested in their own browsers"
that says it all.. The Inquirer is a fucking waste of space.
That's not true at all. The Inquirer serves a very useful purpose - it annoys people.
For instance, it has obviously annoyed you, and looking through your comment history you appear to be a bit of a twat. So I fail to see the problem.
They also need to quit telling people what substances they can put INTO their bodies, be it glass, latex, or THC!
Putting glass, latex and THC into your body?
