No, I just think Katz is an idiot. I guess you've never read his garbage. =) But i actually like OOG. OOG posts some funny shit. If you take/. seriously, its obvious you havn't been here long enough. All the Kill JarJar, Natalie Portman, Hot Grits, OOG, and the rest grow on you after a while. Sure they're are intelligent posts here, but they get slammed by idiots shortly thereafter. So i'll just end this with a (-1 Flamebait) "Linux Sucks, BSD Rules"
SO there are 7 women 150,000 years ago....my question...did Dick Clarke impregnate them all on the Rockin' New Years 148,000B.C. ? But think 150,000 years of evolution and we have "who wants to marry a millionaire" go figure
So i can trace my roots back far enough so that i could actually be related to OOG the caveman or Jon Katz. I think I'll pass. But better OOG than Katz. OOG is a caveman, but Katz is just an idiot.
I us3d m4h l33t A0L H4x0r t00ls. err...wait. didn't i say that the Feds log everything on IRC a few stories ago? I doubt some 15 year old kid did it by himself. I bet it was some college kids pissed off cause their Univ. blocked Napster. Or maybe it was metallica...But to be honest. I bet Hoover had something to do with it. the CIA put 187 for MLK and JFK and CIA saw IRC say DoS...damnit i ran out of the 3 letter words and acronyms. German gives me more 3 letter prepositions.
Ok this is already offtopic and i can't think of any saving points. So karma police come and get me.
Encryption cards can do that stuff 6 times faster than a cpu. =) With a laptop though..im not sure if there are any pcmcia encryption cards. But anyways if you are doing something like a gateway-gateway VPN or something, its doesn't fit under what i call regular joe desktop usage. All my neighbors do is get on aol and download mp3's and they have phenomenal hardware. Its just silly.
What do you people do on these machines to need that much power? the only things i can think of are servers (which i can understand) or Quake 3 or something. But I don't run servers on my desktop machine and don't play Quake.
I just find it crazy to have 1Ghz chips. I can see people that could really use it, but for the general public???
I still think PII 400's are fast as hell. Is this what getting old is all about?
How can Metallica lose money to mp3's? I thought they all died in a plane crash with Buddy Holly or something. Like anyone stills listens to Metallica.
I mean really...If you like the music, buy the cd. Since I can't find any places in here where i can listen to the music (the whole damn cd if i please) before i buy it.
Metallica really lost their "badass" image by doing this. Now they are money worshiping corporate whores. (not that they were before, its just super obvious now)
But hey, the RIAA will stop mp3's. There will not be 1 mp3 on earth when the RIAA regulates. (not)Seriously it will happen.
It just pisses me off.
Bands only make like 50 CENTS for each albulm they sell and they say the public is stealing money from them? BAH its the record companies stupid.
CD's were more expensive at first because "they cost more to make than tapes". If they ever were, they sure aren't now and they still cost around $15 bucks. Give the artists the profits they deserve and let us listen to shit before we spend $15 bucks on it, and lower the damn prices and maybe people will take this "losing money" whiny bullshit more seriously.
Thats half the point. Sys-admins need to implement sshd and such. You can find ssh clients for pretty much any OS you can find. ssh daemons are available for any *nix system i can think of. The only system i know of that doesn't have ssh is the stupid VMS cluster at my university. Hopefully things like this will increase public awareness of security, encryption, and privacy. Now if i can find a "trusted" certificate signer that doesn't charge a 3 or 4 digit sum for a digital certificate. I can sign it myself, but browers fart with all that warning crap about not a trusted certificate. =(
well obviously https: but you could also tunnel requests through somewhere else with ipsec. not an easy task though. But it looks better than having my web activity logged. you can't be an anonymous coward otherwise. =) The internet is outdated in terms of its capability. E-mail security is a joke and people still use telnet. damn i love encryption.
"There is a difference between turning pages and scrolling down," he said. "There is something about a book that should inspire a certain presumption of reverence."
Don't you see the evil? Just like that damned phone. like talking to people in person also inspires a certain presumption of reverence. And trading stocks on the internet? bah! It takes alot of reverence to do it the old fashioned way. And whats with the automobile crap? Walking inspires reverence. Driving inspires soccer mom's and all those other secular attrocities. ok enough with the satire. he is right though. Driving across the country to the library of congress and searching its mammoth amount of information would be much better than a quick search on the net from my room. I'm guessing librarians are scared of being moved to the level of respect that guidance counselors and telephone sanitizers get.
Damn i loved Pimpwars. I REALLY wish they would port that to *nix. That would own. TradeWars and Pimpwars were my absolute favorites. But The Pit, Interstellar Anihilation (ISA), Global Warfare, and LORD were also badass. We really need to get these games on *nix. That would be so damn cool.
Looking at the site, i see the modem is some plug on thing. Could someone find a way to use an ethernet card with it? If that were the case, I'd buy one today.

I knew you were going to post this. thats what Kenny Kingston told me.
OOG is more than enough proof that those silly christians are wrong.

Fire Katz, Replace him with OOG. OOG is more interesting
I'll leave my penny jar on the front porch. Please no more than 50 per person.

And all that hard drive noise when you open those browser windows is swap. Get more ram.

I've ranted enough.
Who thinks Slashdot should fire Jon Katz and replace him with OOG THE CAVEMAN?
I sure do.

Couldn't you just do all your web browsing through someting like that anonymizer service? not convienient. but a viable solution?
well obviously https:

will the fun ever stop?
I guess if this happens encryption will be that much more important.

You didn't say HOT grits. The heat creates the humor. i mean if you want to have a hot grits campaign, you have to stick with HOT grits.
Hey, we all love Pi, but why doesnt e^ have a day? really. It never gets any credit for being an irrational number. and its a very special number
If they transported livestock on it. Pigs could fly.

But will it run text mode quake?
