You can find more in the proper encyclopedia.

You're assuming they're thinking rationally. They're not. It's not a well-calculated strategy, it's all about Islam.
Let me say it in french so it's pretty clear:
Fuck you, Loto-Québec.
As they're from Quebec, this won't work. You need to name some church utensils or furniture instead.
For example in the Linux iptables packet filter, you can disable the IPv6 protocol completely with a single command:
iptables -I INPUT -p 41 -j DROP
No, that will drop just one of many ways of tunnelling IPv6 over IPv4. To drop or manipulate IPv6 packets, you need to use ip6tables instead.
And you really shouldn't be using DROP here, as it will delay every connection until timeout expires. You want REJECT instead.
Non-existence being the best possible security.
What else will you download Firefox with on a new system?
That slashdot didn't support unicode
It does. It's actually fully Unicode-compliant
No, Slashdot's database works in ISO-8859-1. You're confusing Slashcode which can do Unicode with Slashdot which still hasn't deployed it.
I'm no physicist, but it sounds wrong to me: the energy he names is merely 10^24eV, which is not far beyond energies of observed cosmic rays (10^21eV-ish). It's inconceivable that this hasn't been ever reached within the Universe, which according to the guy's claims should have caused a reset.
Except that HTTPS that relies on the CA cartel model is snake oil at best.
Even internet access is okay, as long as you don't use any Microsoft client software. Which is no different from the "latest and greatest" version of Windows.
Sorry to break it to you, but the only reason no virus got around that is that no one bothered working around a blocker no one uses. In DOS, all it takes to duplicate OS calls is to copy their code, as every process has full access to the hardware and can do everything on its own. And then, any process can write to every location in memory, defeating any anti-virus or precaution imaginable. You would have to reimplement Bochs and interpret every opcode in software, effectively emulating a more secure platform. You can't securely run untrusted code without a MMU of some kind.
SourceForge, the code repository site owned by Slashdot Media, has apparently seized control of the account hosting GIMP for Windows on the service, according to e-mails and discussions amongst members of the GIMP community—locking out GIMP's lead Windows developer. And now anyone downloading the Windows version of the open source image editing tool from SourceForge gets the software wrapped in an installer replete with advertisements.
In cases where a project is no longer actively being maintained, SourceForge has in some cases established a mirror of releases that are hosted elsewhere. This was done for GIMP-Win.
Editor's note: Gimp is actively being maintained and the definition of "mirror" is quite misleading here as a modified binary is no longer a verbatim copy. Download statistics for Gimp on Windows show SourceForge as offering over 1,000 downloads per day of the Gimp software. In an official response to this incident, the official Gimp project team reminds users to use official download methods. Slashdotters may remember the last time news like this surfaced (2013) when the Gimp team decided to move downloads from SourceForge to their own FTP service.
Therefore, we remind you again that GIMP only provides builds for Windows via its official Downloads page.
Note: SourceForge and Slashdot share a corporate parent.
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
