Lemonparty, what is this 2003?

Legend, and they could appreciate the beautiful thing I have built in all its awk and glory.

Yes, it can be quite amusing on a lonely Friday night to play counterspy.

Absolutely, there is an ASCII goatse just for such MOTD occasions.

>While there are a large number of PowerPC systems in the wild, the "everything else" is so much bigger.

Bigger in numbers, but probably not criticality.

I deliver them to a VM i run just for this purpose, with the background of goatse.cx

I then tell them it's not so much the infection as it is the distention.

I think you underestimate just how much of your world still runs on PowerPC.

Abomination is right. All the new kids and their systemd, reinventing that which was not broken (and was still portable!)

Try doing an non-kickstart installation to see the abomination in all of its glory. Whoever does the UI at redhat should be shot out of a cannon, sufficiently that they land somewhere around the Canonical offices. I've never seen a more disjointed, confusing clusterfuck in my life, and I've used Solaris 7, Windows 8, and Suse 9

I don't know, I tend to support whatever leads us to a more efficient use of our hydrocarbon resources as a society. I look at this as the greatest economic opportunity of our times, as it's pretty clear to me, the remaining hydrocarbons yet to be extracted would be far more beneficial to society as a strategic fuel source, and source of polymers, rather than literally burning it 'up in smoke' out of our tailpipes.

> There is another trend of third parties marketing infrastructure solutions to high level management, skipping local subject matter experts.

Trend? I thought this was SOP for sales, because SMEs kill sales. This has been known by Salesmen and SMEs since time immemorial.

Centralize/Decentralize YAWN. I've seen 3 swings in 20 years of pro, myself.

I was just kidding ;) FIDO still works great.

Mister44, it doesn't matter if it's for mail or for passwords, the result is the same. It is using hacker's automation to automate blacklists. Parent is not wrong, just misstated.

>Yes, we've all seen dozens of those science fiction stories where they steal people's eyes, or cut off their fingers, or take swabs of their DNA.

Well obviously it's time to two-factor that shit. We'll need a random series of characters meeting certain criteria, and we're good to go!

Speak for yourself! I do most of my human interaction over FIDO. It's quite a bit slower (I only receive replies after a few weeks to months), but the fidelity is better than this Slashdot fad.
