RoManiac

[music | Killing Joke - Mass (Campaign Collection Mix)]

I have to fly to Romania, or possibly Russia, but probably Romania. I need to find the guy who wrecked my holiday weekend.

Silly Phishers/Spammers. The bummer is he probably has a nicer car than mine. Your Benz might be faster than my Toyota, but your fast-flux DNS will never be faster than my ability to pick out one "wrong looking" TCP connection out of a pool of 50,000 legitimate ones.

Who wants to come, boots required.

MacBook 13", very first thoughts

The new MacBook came in today, and I've been tooling around on it for the last couple hours.

Good:
-- Speed seems good

-- I toyed with my Treo 700w and can shoot pictures across, that is about all.

-- New Trackpad drivers woo yay, it's nice.

Bad:
-- The magnetic power cord will take getting used to. If you pull it straight, it's almost impossible to unplug, however if you breathe on it funny from an angle, it shoots across the floor.

Of course SuSE fixed it

[music | nine inch nails - eraser]

Not without some seriously non-typical end user junk, but giving up on installing dependencies myself after seeing control-center2 relying on nautilus, and nautilus relying on control-center2, I installed using YAST and it worked fine. I know I should have forced around the dependencies, but please, someone...

This kid is too close to the edge with me.

Fool me once...

Shame on me, fool me twice, FUCK YOU FREEBSD.

Now it has successfully killed both a desktop AND a laptop without even starting to install. That is some kind of record. If I ever meet Bill Joy, I'm going to punch him in the spleen.

/still love vi, don't hate me Mr. Joy

///blah who to blame...who to blame...Jordan Hubbard. Fuck you Jordan Hubbard.

Hey, Thanks FreeBSD Installer!

I'd been looking for a way to turn a running Linux machine into a worthless piece of scrap metal, I just couldn't figure it out myself, thanks for helping.
