Filed under: Geek
You’ve probably received those. Claiming that you won this and that, or that they’re offering such and such loans at such and such rate, or the more ordinary join this and that contest and asking for an “entry fee.” If you’ve ever wondered what to do with the crap, here’s one option: Snitch on the annoying, predatory fucks. I got this from a notice placed by the Anti-Money Laundering Council in the Inquirer:

Filed under: Geek
Cool. This thing just requires that you input a given IP address or a hostname, and it conducts a traceroute, but not _just_ a traceroute. You can do that on any UNIX terminal with traceroute(8), or even on Windows with tracert anyway, so why bother, right?

Why I don’t use Linux (2)
Filed under: Blah
1) Who’d use something with a fat penguin as a mascot? Retards.
2) Linux users worship Richard Stallman, or RMS, as he’s often referred to. By fellow nutjobs.
3) Gaytoo’s “Portage” is a shameless ripoff of the BSDs’ ports system. Thieves.
