Interesting read from the Discovery Channel.
Girls carry more bacteria…

Asked if guys should worry about holding hands with girls, Knight said: “I guess it depends on which girl.”

What do you think? Do you care?
Is everyone just reading the RSS feed anyway?
Does it matter to you in the slightest?
As evidenced by the stats, at least *some* people are reading…
What do you think?

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worthwhile. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.

Funny Microsoft whois results…

by on Apr.27, 2006, under Amusement

Maybe they could use some DNS help… Sorry, guys, I noticed that the whois of apple.com is *much* cleaner, as is openbsd.org, redhat.com, etc… (obscenities, obvious ads and commercial entity references conveniently censored for your viewing pleasure.)

virii and crackers and worms, oh, my!

by on Dec.20, 2005, under Amusement

Crackers (*not hackers, people… Crackers.) have penetrated(?) the *un-encrypted* customer information database of a large security software company.
US Government agency credit card and personnel info may be at risk.

This *flat-out* cracked me up… :)

Taken directly from the OpenBSD FAQ

The standard OpenBSD kernel configuration (GENERIC) is designed to be suitable for most people. More people have broken their system by trying to tweak their kernel than have improved system operation. There are some people that believe that you must customize your kernel and system for optimum performance, but this is not true for OpenBSD. Only the most advanced and knowledgeable users with the most demanding applications need to worry about a customized kernel or system.

Some reasons you might want or need to build a custom kernel:

  • You really know what you are doing, and want to shoe-horn OpenBSD onto a computer with a small amount of RAM by removing device drivers you don’t need.
  • You really know what you are doing, and wish to remove default options or add options which may not have been enabled by default (and have good reason to do so).
  • You really know what you are doing, and wish to enable experimental options.
  • You really know what you are doing, and have a special need that is not met by GENERIC, and aren’t going to ask why it doesn’t work if something goes wrong.

    Some reasons why you should not build a custom kernel:
    You do not need to, normally.
    You will not get a faster system.
    You are likely to make a less reliable machine.
    You will not get any support from developers.
    You will be expected to reproduce any problem with a GENERIC kernel before developers take any problem report seriously.
    Users and developers will laugh at you when you break your system.
    Custom compiler options usually do a better job of exposing compiler problems than improving system performance

  • Nice bit of writing, guys. Keep up the good work! (and thanks for the help)

    It made me chuckle…

    5.11.3 – My IPv6-less system doesn’t work!

    Yes.
    Please do not make modifications to the base system that you don’t
    understand the implications of.
    One “little” change in the kernel can have very large impact to the
    entire rest of the system.
    Please re-read this.
