I think M.I.T has a bunch of online courses too.

Want to work in Canada? Take test if you think you're hard enough Completely pointless so meh....

Sir thank you. Thank for showing me someone with mighty balls. His balls must like planets. I can die happy knowing that someone of my species did something so fucking great. :D

A 2 person system admin team go into a talent agency looking for some work. The agent informs them that they are not really hiring and that he wasn't sure that a sys admin act would sell. After some pleading from tech 1 the agent says 'ok, show me your stuff'. So tech 1 whips out a laptop from under his cloak. He then throws in an XP cd. He says in a most proud voice: 'I got this cd on the first day the O.S was released!'. He installs XP then quick as a flash installs IIS 5.0 and switches on the windows firewall. Losing none of his enthusiasm he hooks it up directly to the net. He says gleefully 'ha ha! I bet that was the quickest install of a production web server you have ever seen!'. The agent fidgeting on his chair attempts to respond, but he is interrupted by a loud bang. This was tech 2 slamming her laptop on the table in front of the agent. She then proceeds to boot up openbsd. She then installs the kde 3 desktop system and every bit of software for it she can find. 4 printer programs, 5 video players, 5 versions of minesweeper. She stops, the agent thinks 'is that it?'. Quicker than it too tech 1 to open the XP cd she installs vmware, then proceeds to install windows M.E on that system. She proclaims: 'ha hah! Here is the most secure laptop you can give to a client!' 'Da daaaaaaaaaaaa!' they say. The agent, somewhat shocked pauses for a bit. With hands slightly shaking; he takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk. 'That was a hell of an act' he says. 'What do you call it?' The sys admins wipe the sweat from their respective foreheads. slam their laptops close and proclaim: 'The Aristocrats!' /me gets his coat

sshd is often set up not to allow remote connections on 'live distros'. Maybe build a small one yourself? I know... long

See, games like this destroy people. They are responsible for breakups, job losses and possibly terrorism. I believe we should think about nuking the internet. Twice. Just to be sure. Think of this like an AA meeting, share; The wetelectric is your counsellor .....

I want to put something inbetween those sparks.

If any of my friends were furries.. I would murder them. Twice.

There are these 'buildings' with blacked out windows labelled 'mature'. I believe 'people' gather there to cyber-hump. All the avatars are wearing really tight clothes, have wings or are furries. Scripting looks very javascript like...

There was a linux version of second life... so I tried it. The first person I met was a furry. :'( Let that be a lesson to you

De-nube-lube? :'(

The fact that you got that reference gives you many many man points sir.

yea, it'd be good to code an apache cgi module to include this... it would totally rape your server but it'd be fun. It'd be really good for blind users. Beats a screen reader.

It's almost 11pm.... way past my bedtime...... i'll correct any mistakes 2mrw I'm studying for some linux exam thingy; staying up revising various topics. I decided that I would like to have an audio book, to listen to on the bus to work. My printer is kaput. So I looked around at some text to speech software..and I found a program called festival. I'll just post some of the quick start examples: This is so fucking good: echo "smack me with a wet noodle" | festival --tts For the none unix people here: What this is doing is echoing (printing) the sentence 'smack me with a wet noodle' to standard output on the command line and piping (passing) it to the festival program; converting the text, into speech. Got that? Nice... you can guess what this does: date '+%A, %B %e, %Y' | festival --tts Ok, what about this: #!/usr/bin/php -q &lt;?php // seed srand srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // what is the random number? echo "The random number for the day is " . rand(1,25); ?&gt; ./rand.php | festival --tts echo "smack me with a wet noodle" | text2wave -scale 50 -o beautiful_day.wav Converts it to wav file ok, and now for something completely pointless an annoying :): tail -f /home/wetelectric/irc/chat.log | grep '&lt;' | festival --tts you can write a little script that would capture the text inbetween the <> chars and do some pre-processing on the name before hand... you know... if you have no life and that ;) you can also set up audible intrusion alarms... er... a really lame one: grep 127.0.0.1 /var/log/messages | echo `wc -l` "attempts so far to haxxor your boxxer by bastard number 1" | festival --tts erm think crontab........ any more decent ones?

/me suggested the pirate, ninja naming scheme...... ;) /me goes into smug mode.

FOr me, it'd be the money thing. Sorry guys. Takes loads of pics and drink many, many beers.

who said this?

I reserve the right to mock any World of Warcraft segments (wizards, goblins and the like) mercilessly. ;) /me puts on his robe and wizard hat

Hello guys, long time listener first time caller.... I'm trying to get to grips with openBSD and pf. I've read all the documentation and now im going for practical experience. I need to know if there are any programs that would allow me to simulate a network environment and apply said rules. I don't for example have 6 WAN connections handy :) I know there are ones for cisco routing devices, but are there any for openBSD. I hope my explanation of my problem is OK.

In the url bar once you have closed and saved anything important on you computer, type: "about:%" its really cool almost as cool as this. edit:..ok an angel appeared on my right shoulder and told me to say that this crashes google chrome.

yeah, as a species we love spitefulness.... Vengeance is cool.

Bloke was going to ask his girlfriend to marry him on Xmas day and buys a 2K on a ring. He then finds out she gave her boss some "special oral loving" and then dumps her live on radio Posted for the beautifully pure vindictiveness of the radio presenter.

*awesome*
