  1. Re:We live in interesting times.. on USENIX Responds to SCO; Fyodor Pulls NMap · · Score: 1

    Thus it would seem that if you disagree with the GPL (which SCO has stated publicly on several occasions) you have no right to software licensed under the GPL. However I post to /. and thus IANAL.

    Bullshit. I disagree with the GPL, yet I am still allowed to use it, and to redistribute any program that is licensed under the GPL.

    I won't (knowingly) violate the GPL, since that would just be silly.

    Disagreeing with a license, does not mean that you don't "accept" it.

  3. Local web-board did me good on Internet Job Boards a Bunch of Hype? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I tried looking on Monster, and all those, but nothing came of it. My resume only got 40 views in a few months.

    Then I posted my resume on Craigslist (mostly for San Francisco Bay Area), at 11pm, and less than 12 hours later, I had an offer to come in for an interview. I'm posting this from that employeer. Yes, they know I surf Slashdot.

    You Dumbass. The first worm was the Morris Worm, in 1988, which attacked VMS and Sun machines.

  10. Re:Political? on GNU-Darwin: Three Years of Free Software Activism · · Score: 2, Informative

    That wasn't a political decision, but a legal one. OpenBSD legally could not distribute IPF (because of the modifications they made). OpenBSD asked IPF to change the license, it was not changed, so IPF was dropped.

  11. Re:We blame the lawyers, but... on Suing Your Customers: Winning Business Strategy? · · Score: 1

    If they have a legit reason to sue me, and they can prove that I owe them the money, I'll bust out my checkbook, and write them a check.

    If I committed the crime I am accused of, and they can prove it in front of a jury of my peers, then I deserve the punishment.

    I won't commit a crime, without accepting the responsability for the reprocutions.

    Wine can't be used on a !i386 class computer. It isn't an emulator. Now, she *can* use VirtualPC on her Mac, but why would you want to infect a Mac with sub-par quality programs?

    And here is an excellent reason to not use blacklists: "You are a suspected {communist|homosexual|african-american|asian} etc, etc." That was why I thought there was a law against it.

    ISTR there are some laws that say something to the effect of "using a blacklist in your hiring procedures is illegal".

  16. Re:Fuck SPEWS on Good Guys 2, Spammers 0 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The problem isn't my ISP using them, it's other people using them. If my network neighbor spams you, how the fuck is it my fault? How is my ISP being a dork about it my fault?

    Under your "logic" (note the quotes), you would encourage a city to put up military roadblocks, and prevent anyone from going in, when they find one crack dealer in your neighborhood. And when you go to complain, noone exists. Not "you know their name, but don't have access to them", but "nobody knows their names, and we won't tell you".

    Fuck spews. Fuck them until they bleed, then fuck them harder.

  17. Re:removing some utilities on BSDCon '03 Nearly Here (OpenBSD 3.4, Too) · · Score: 1

    First of all, there has been a _small_ bit of interest in Tendra by just a few in the BSD community, but I don't think it's fair to say that they have been looking into replacing GCC.

    Yes. It is fair to say that. Since they have been investigating it. The biggest issue for OpenBSD to replace GCC, is the other arch support.

    Secondly, licensing isn't the only concern. An upgrade from GCC 2.9 to 3 is on the horizon, and at least one of the primary OpenBSD developers has said that they aren't happy with GCC 3. I don't think it's worth getting into detail, but it isn't licensing issues alone.

    If by "at least one", you mean "the vast majority" dislike GCC, you would be correct. GCC3 is needed for some archs, since they are newer than GCC 2.95.3. GCC is a bloated pig, and needs to be replaced. I don't have the skills to replace it, so I don't bitch about it.

    and I hate people like you. I suppose you also consider it to be an "honor" to be blacklisted, if your network neighbor is a spammer?

    If my machines don't show any signs of sending said virus, don't shut me down. Very simple.

    I don't want OpenBSD to have it. What happens if you kill ld.so? You are *FUCKED*. At least now, when I kill it, I can at least use mv to copy back my good copy with static libs. Disk space is cheep, get over it, and make / a bit bigger.
