Well "dickhead", let's see. Why don't you log in, I'll create four more accounts and then we can have a discussion where I agree with myself and you take a karma hit because the moderators fell for my shilling. Game? Let me know.
You should know that "Mactrope" (who replied to you) is the same person as "gnutoo". They're both sockpuppet accounts of twitter. He uses multiple accounts to give the impression that people agree with him and game the moderation system.
Anyone posting on this thread should be aware that "inTheLoo" is a sockpuppet account of twitter, one of eight accounts (so far) created by him to game the moderation system.
You are doing a disservice to free software when you sit there and claim that publishing professionals can replace their commercial software tools with a hodgepodge of immature applications that have about as much user base and corporate acceptance as Microsoft Bob. PostScript is *not* a standard used in the printing process *anywhere* nowadays, it's fairly obvious that you are just making that up or you are still stuck in the 90s. Look up PDF/X and JDF and educate yourself.
I would be happy if there was something even remotely similar to the Adobe design/publishing stack on Linux, but the reality is there just isn't. Mentioning LaTex and Emacs (WTF) on the same paragraph as your claim of desktop publishing superiority is laughable at best.
Next time, just use one of your other eight accounts so people think you just got here and have no idea what you're talking about. They might be more lenient with the mod points.
No, your comment was interesting. I'm saying you might find yourself in a situation where three or four "people" are stacking up on you like a pack of little outspoken chihuahas =)
twitter uses multiple accounts to game the moderation system. It's lame, but unless people know what he's doing, he'll keep getting away with it.
Anyone posting on this thread should be aware that "willeyhill", "gnutoo", "Erris" and "inTheLoo" are all the same person, twitter.
While twitter's sockpuppets replying to each other is really nothing new (that's how he games the moderation system), I think this one sets a new record in lameness.
You've already posted in this article with three different accounts (inTheLoo, gnutoo and wileyhill), including two in this same thread. You can stop now, moderators are starting to understand what you're doing, and it's not working.
Anyone posting on this thread should be aware that "gnutoo" is a sockpuppet account of twitter. He's just shilling his own posts to pretend someone agrees with him. twitter now has a grand total of eight Slashdot accounts.
Wow twitter, you actually created another account. That's eight now. You must think you're extremely funny. Is this what you mean when you talk about "trolly first post monopoly and crapflooding" and how you're just doing all of this to battle the evil M$ that has supposedly taken over CmdrTaco's website?
Fair enough. I will write up a journal entry with the evidence I have and I'll post it when I'm done.
Probably more time than I'm really willing to spend on this past the ten minutes a day I eat up now, but you have a point.
Of course it's all circumstantial since obviously I have no access to the Slashdot logs or anything like that. But there is enough of it that anyone who looks at it will be able to at least make up their minds.
It's like proving that the sky is blue... of course you *can* prove it scientifically if you use spectrographic profiling and chemical analysis. In the end though, all you need to do is look up and stare at it.
Note that "inTheLoo" and "gnutoo" are the same person. I have no idea why twitter feels the need to shill up his own posts, especially something as tepid as a joke about Metallica. Sorry for the offtopic post, but anyone posting in or moderating this thread should be aware of that.
hi twitter. You have something that's not from 2004? I was referring to IIS6, of course. IIS5 (which is what that article talks about) had at least three vulns in four years, if I recall. IIS6 has been out for 5+ years so far. Can you find me an exploitable vulnerability for it?
You can answer when you're done trolling with a user name that looks suspiciously like mine. And isn't that amusing.
I have to thank all of you nutballs who have called me Twitter
That's funny, since you've been linking to his lame journal for a longtime. Well, "long time" for an account with less than 300 posts.
Maybe it's the fact that you write exactly like twitter, right down to the same constant spelling and grammar mistakes. Maybe it's the fact that you show up in the epic sockpuppet threads. Or maybe it's things like these.
But maybe it's just the fact that you are twitter.
Add a healthy dose of misrepresentation, twisting of facts and oh-so-funny exaggeration (the IIS admins are running around in circles, LOLZORZ) and people like you can feel better about yourselves, at least for a few hours.
In the meantime, it's been 5+ years and no one has found an exploitable vulnerability in IIS.
I'm sure FOSS is better off this morning, thanks to kdawson, Slashdot and this type of misguided "advocacy". Might as well have twitter control the content of the front page.
This is not an IIS attack, it is an application attack. No more IIS specific than this one is Apache's fault, correct?
I love the difference in tone between the two submissions, and especially the "haha this is all a big joke, relax" tone of the comments on the other one.
It's unfortunate that Slashdot is becoming one big FUD-spewing machine.
Slashdot Mirror
Since I'm being modded troll every time I point out what you're doing, maybe the moderators will listen to someone else instead.
Good points, thanks.

Just FYI, "gnutoo" is a sockpuppet account of twitter. He's posted on this article with three accounts already.
Anyone posting on this thread should be aware that twitter and gnutoo are the same person.

If I am then I guess I'm not very clever, since "I" seem to be getting modded down more often than not for replying to myself.
Anyone posting on or moderating this thread should be aware that "gnutoo" and "twitter" are the same person. Sorry for the OT.

I guess I am. And taking my offtopic mods while I'm at it :)
Mactrope (clever play on Macthorpe)
gnutoo
inTheLoo
Erris (oldest one)
willeyhill (the joke's on me)
westbake (clever play on westlake).
Hard to keep up.
Just another twitter sockpuppet. Seven accounts and more on the way.
And of course, this is just a coincidence.
