"however, lunix is a capricious beast"

Oh my.

I was also surprised to find my reading list referred to as "hacker manuals." I must have missed some subtext somewhere ...

Surfing about a bit ... it's a shame that this is an archival site only. He spreads much important truth.

A really tasty recipe.

Actually, I think that the warning at the bottom of the recipe page should be posted on top of every single page of the site.

smoothmoniker · 04-30-2005, 05:08 PM

and its awesome in the extreme

lookout123 · 04-30-2005, 05:33 PM

i was laughing my arse off assuming it was a joke, but then it kept going and going and i read his other articles... it is pretty funny.

but then if you read some of the posts and replies to his articles - then you see scary.

I, too, managed to get a taste of going cold turkey. I could not login at all. I managed to work myself into a perfect froth of unhappiness at not being able to login.

I think I could benefit from limiting my time yakking here.

Nah.

Elspode · 04-30-2005, 06:48 PM

I don't know which was funnier...the "article", or the fact that a lot of people didn't know it was satire.

BigV · 04-30-2005, 07:06 PM

The "article" is way funnier, cause people who don't understand that it is satire, are not funny, they're either ignorant (no bad thing, not everyone cares about computers) ore they do care and they believe it. They're not funny, they're scary.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-30-2005, 08:51 PM

Oh yeah, funny.
It has recently been announced that the People's Republic of China has been pioneering the practice of using the organs of the condemned to help the living. For years, with the help of new and innovative execution methods, kidneys, skin, and corneas have successfully been harvested from dead criminals and used to better the lives of those in need. In China, capital punishment is no longer an animal lashing-out against the enemies of society, but a wholesome, constructive act of giving new life.

There is no reason that the United States cannot step up its death penalty convictions to match Chinese levels and achieve the same benefits -- but this won't happen without your help. Write your elected representatives and let them know what you think about the tremendous waste represented by the death penalty as it is used in the United States today. Inform them that you support capital punishment for drug traffickers, a mandatory death penalty for violent criminals, and research on transplant-friendly means of execution.

I didn't realize that it was satire because it was very believable to me that there many people out there as uninformed as the article suggests its author is. Read the letters to the editor in 2600 sometime and you will see what I mean.

I love it everytime witches get their panties in a bunch over landoverbaptist.com.

People who typically consider themselves educated and sophisticated that can't discern satire and hyperbole (and can't pronounce it, either) really, really worry me.

OK, the system was defaced again last night and I tried to set things up quickly on another machine and failed. Doh.

Undertoad · 05-04-2005, 09:17 AM

OK, great, and I forgot to re-setup routing to it overnight because I was up late trying to get it fixed.

Sigh.
