-1 Insightful

Tuesday, 4th January 2000

The joy of reading slashdot posts just keeps increasing, soon it will overcome
me. People with a clue flaming people without a clue, people without a clue flaming people
who have a clue, people who have missed the point flaming random people.

In the last couple of days I have wittnessed people flaming the GPL because
the Quake/QW source release has made them lose at Quake III
I have seen people doing feature comparisons bettween KDE and XFree86 (?!) and
concluding that KDE is superior (!?!!!).
I have seen people praising an enlightenment theme because it was about time
someone captured the look of a nice enlighenment theme without the added bloat
and unreliability of enlightenment (?!?!??)
I have seen just about every git and his disciples begin his/her post with
"I know I am going to get moderated down for this...."
I have seen people post nothing but their .sig
I have seen someone say that his computer crashes randomly ( spontaneous
reboot ) with every operating system he has every tried, and then proceeds to
flame linux for being unreliable.

Please dont let any of these people breed.

DeCSS

Heres my token decss download url's. Linux tarball: ftp://yak.osoal.org.nz/pub/db/decss.tar.gz ftp://yak.osoal.org.nz/pub/db/decss.tar.gz Windows zip: ftp://yak.osoal.org.nz/pub/db/decss.zip ftp://yak.osoal.org.nz/pub/db/decss.zip This program takes an encrypted DVD stream and removes the encryption. If you havent a clue why I would be mirroring something like this, read the slashdot article regarding legal action against people distributing it.

Tricks for the paranoid

For all those people still using bad old ftp to retrieve those all important
core dumps, and dead.letter files and yet hassling other people for using telnet to transmit their passwords in plain text.
