  1. One more reason to stick with ipfw on IPF License Change: Redistribution Not Allowed · · Score: 1

    I have plenty of other new stuff to learn. I've been using ipfw for about eighteen months at home and in commercial environments and I like it just fine.

  2. Re:cookies?? on Mapping The Net And Hunting Down Evil · · Score: 1

    I went back and counted. 18. Netscape 4.73 on FreeBSD 4.1. 18 requests. Make your own judgments.

  3. cookies?? on Mapping The Net And Hunting Down Evil · · Score: 1

    Has anyone noticed the number of requests to write a cookie clicking on the link generates? I counted 18. I wouldn't piss on these folks if their hearts were on fire. I'm sorry I clicked.

  4. Re:Pretentious on KBasic · · Score: 1

    Hit that nail _on_ the head. I understood what was intended, however. After a second or two. I have to work in French or Spanish from time to time. When you have to use your functional but unpolished grasp of a foreign language, you get burned sometimes. I sympathise. But BASIC?? Good Gawd, why? I'd never read the Jargon File entry. Illuminating. I thought it was just me. I worked for an outfit once that had an ERP and supply-chain mgmt. suite written in Business BASIC. It was gibberish. Calls to line numbers and A$, B$, J$, J1$, J2$..J4$ and large, flat files. It's all coming back...
