Just got this nasty lil bastard off a clients' Win 2003 SBS. Idiot disabled Kaspersky and SpyBot on his laptop 'cause "It was slowing down my MP3 downloads at home.", and plugged into the LAN, thence instantly infecting the server, which hasn't been patched since 12/23/08. I intend to stagger through the office after lunch, screaming "CENTOS on the server this weekend, and XUBUNTU on ALL laptops by Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mweep

Comment Re:Constitutionality (Score 1) 630

I am so freaking sick of allowing these half-wit, reactionary asswipes to run roughshod over every constitutional right that generations have fought to secure. A well-connected, loudmouth twit like John Walsh, and his butt-buddy Ernest Allen can bully legislators into using hot-button issues to pass their own conservative agendas. Adam Walsh was killed..that's sad, but other kids get killed in far more horrendous ways in African dictatorships every day. Who mourns for them? Who starts a top-rated TV series for those children? Let's hope Obama has the balls to try to restore some of our civil liberties these morons are destroying day-by-day. Mweep

Secure OS/X???...BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Any reasonably intelligent HS sophomore with a familiarity with FreeBSD, and a Mac install disc could gut any security restrictions in a New York minute...and a truly intelligent one could cover his tracks! Just give the kids the damn laptops, sit back, shut up, and let them learn.

Mediterranean Undersea Cables Cut, Again 329

miller60 writes "Three undersea cables in the Mediterranean Sea have failed within minutes of each other in an incident that is eerily similar to a series of cable cuts in the region in early 2008. The cable cuts are already causing serious service problems in the Middle East and Asia. See coverage at the Internet Storm Center, Data Center Knowledge and Bloomberg. The February 2008 cable cuts triggered rampant speculation about sabotage, but were later attributed to ships that dropped anchor in the wrong place."

Screw this flame...Pat Volkerding created a helluva distro, thats still being used today by those of us with the balls to say "Screw X"! Its more Berkeley-like .rc layout, cpio-inspired package installer, and easy compile features make it, along with Free/Net/OpenBSD, and possibly Solaris, the choice of true UNIX jocks everywhere...Debian used to be in my list, too, but they, along with SuSe and Fedora, have caved in to the whining, puling wanna-bes who are afraid to get their hands wet with bash or zsh, and hang to the GUI like a baby to it's mommys breast.
