I take it you're not one of the "old and jaded" who "don't get the whole social networking thing", considering you're participating on Slashdot, a social networking site centered around nerdy news articles?

And less uptime!

The last time I used Fedora, it was as easy as using Debian. yum felt a lot like aptitude. No more dependency hell!

I'm surprised people actually give Oracle money.

Then why don't you say "Math's", since you're cutting out a piece in the middle of the word in order to abbreviate it?

Whoosh!!!

The main difference is that the BSD gives developers the freedom to deprive users and other developers of the fruits of somebody else's labor. Whereas the GPL forces all developers to make sure everybody has the same freedom they had, or else.

The importance of this distinction depends on a developer's priorities. Would you rather play nice with the rest of the developer community and share alike, or would you rather take what you can get without giving back (or encourage others to do this)?

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I'm a masochistic anarchist, you insensitive clod!

How about just banning capitalism? That would solve the whole problem.

What do pedophiles and/or rapists look like? Are they a race unto their own? Do they have some soft of discriminating mark on them? If so, why aren't we just rounding people up based on this one trait alone?

Oh... You mean I'm just feeding a troll? Sorry! :-(

Hory clap! Soda in the nose stiiiiiiings!

You don't even have to root the laptop. Assuming you have (had) a vulnerable Web browser, you could write up a little Web app to sniff browser history. Find a good story that will take a while to read or a long YouTube video to use as bait. Write a convincing email about why you have to visit the site, then send it to your old address.

In the background, you can generate thousands of random URLs to see if they've been visited (using the link's color to determine if it matches your custom a:visited color).

Start with MySpace and Facebook.

Log them in a database (via Ajax) for review later on.

It's a shame you don't have ssh or vnc running on your laptop...
