  1. Re:It isn't needed. on The Pornographers vs. The Pirates · · Score: 1

    Yeah, uhm. ok.

    I have a stash of 32 gigabytes of porn. But I have never bought porn.

    Why the fuck would I admit to having porn if I'm "embarrased" of having bought it?

  2. Re:Here is the Value of Podcasts and Podcasting! on Tricks of the Podcasting Masters · · Score: 1

    Ok, you see, to me it seems to be the opposite.
    A 'podcaster' will not say something twenty times to make it sound right. A 'podcaster' will just say what's on his mind, without any preparation, and get it done with. Maybe cut a little here and trim a little there, but it's always going to be the same crappy quality microphone recording the same crappy voice and stupid material with his very slow and hardly understandable, localized pronounciation. I would much rather either have the material in written form, and
    a) Get the material onto my laptop or
    b) Print the material out
    so I can read it while I'm listening to music on my mp3 player. Without any localized accent to decipher. Without any distruptions in the flow I like to take in information.
    Actually, if someone cannot express himself in written form properly, they probably should not be expressing themselves at all. But whatever, I'm just old fashioned.

    Also, typing on a computer allows you to edit any place in your written material at any damn time you please, so editing will be a lot faster and more correct.

    Trust me on this, 'podcasts' only survive because of the hype they generate, and the people who eat up the hype. "XML Served mp3 iPod podcasts by blogger on the web 2.0"

  3. Re:Here is the Value of Podcasts and Podcasting! on Tricks of the Podcasting Masters · · Score: 1

    Ok, now, it seems that you know a little bit about this 'podcasting'. So, please enlighten me - What exactly justifies "podcasting" material instead of writing an article about it? Firstly, I dont have to decode your crappy teenie voice when I read your vaguely interesting material. Second, I can understand you clearly despite what ever country you come from. And believe me, I've tried this 'podcasting' phenomena. I've tried listening to some 'podcasts' about all kinds of stuff. I could never understand half of what people said, and wished there was a transcript.

    So, once more - Why cant you lazy 'podcasters' just fucking write an article instead of this 'free radio' bullshit?

  5. Re:What's the alternative? on Sendmail Removed From NetBSD · · Score: 1

  6. Re:You don't seem to understand how it works on Automate Spamcop Submissions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Step 1. You submit the spam to Spamcop.

    How about:
    Step 1. You submit SPAM to Spamcop, that you know 100% for sure without doubt is absolutely nothing but pure, clean and uncut SPAM?

    You know, a human is much better at detecting spam than any regex is. If you dont submit non-spam emails in the first place, then you dont need step 2 and 3. And what this guy is doing (As far as I understand) is to put actual SPAM in a specific folder, and letting cron take care of the needless steps 2 and 3.

    Let me stress this once more - A human brain is much better at detecting spam than ANY machine. If that were not true, we wouldnt even NEED things like SpamCop or any other spam protection, because SPAM would die out on the spot if machines were better at detecting spam than humans.

    If I recieve an email telling me about penis enlargement or viagra, I will without doubt know that I have never in my life asked anybody on this planet to inform me of such products.

    I gotta wonder who'd want to use it without the alcohol support?
    Certain systems have had their beer limit overflowed and then they kept sending REQUEST's despite having reached the defined BEER_LIMIT, so they are trying to avoid alcohol support untill some platform-dependant issues are resolved.

    Anyway, the alcohol.h library is completely insecure and buggy. It causes my terminal to spit out it's core and terminate.
  15. Re:Which Free OS for novices? on DesktopBSD 1.0 Final Released · · Score: 1

    http://www.freebsd.org/ports/
    Currently 14271 ports available, although my own system reports that it has 14285.

    Just finished the advanced task of updating my ports tree using the tediously long and unintuitive command of "portsnap fetch update", and now upgrading my installed ports with the equally unintuitive "portupgrade -a".

    But honestly, why the hell would you need the system with "Most software available"? You only need the software that you need. No more, no less. No way anybody is going to install the 14271 ports and then say "omg FreeBSD sux linux has more software". The thing is, all the popular software is already ported. It's highly unlikely that you will find an application that you need which is not ported to FreeBSD. And even if you do, installing it's dependencies is easy with the ports system :)

    Two words: Reverse engineering.

    What methods have they developed to make the next sequence purely unpredictable? If the next knock sequence is computed from the old one, then the "listening" method is still valid. And if it isnt, one could replicate whatever variables either of the devices (Door or key) make use of to generate the next key.
    And then, we're back to square one. Stealing the key is just as easy as stealing todays regular lock keys.
