reaper, it seems that you're already ahead of the game.

thanks, but can't say I agree with you

i do what I can (which is reactive mostly), and the attackers are still effective, i've just been mitigating the attacks.

look at the largest botnetworks.  if they targeted you, what would you do?  I don't think anyone is safe from them.  maybe a company like GE, just because it's so diverse, and such a huge presence on the internet, so you can't take the whole infrastrucutre down.

it's basically terrorism in the internet

(I don't know the origin of this quote... I think I've seen one similar to this ages ago, but just ran across it again tonight...)

  "Always code as if the person who will maintain your code is a violent
  psychopath who knows where you live."

was never taught that in school

"every open source application should have rotating quotes"

hey that's mine

Just saw this on a programming mailing list:

(Incidentally, C is like one of those Protestant sects that believe
you should work hard even though you're predestined to have memory
leaks anyway, C++ is like one of them a hundred years later after
they have academic theologians to make things more complicated,
and scripting languages are clearly Unitarian, since they deny
the Holy Trinity of Compile, Link, Run.  Atheism, on this view,
is pure math.)

I had to laugh at that analogy for C++ ... seems about right.

Heh, another C++ quote: (C++ was deveoped by Bjarne Stroustrup, who at the time was at Bell/ATT Labs.)


  "C++ is like Häagen Dazs Ice Cream; you think it’s from
  Scandanavia, but it’s really an industrial product from New Jersey."

I like Perl and Bash

[quadz]

Found some funny perl quotes on bash.org:

[ http://www.bash.org/?737051 ]
<@xyst> perl made me angry last week.
<@xyst> so angry i wrote something in java instead.
<@ecoli> wtf could it have done to make you do that?
<@ecoli> that's like saying "hot naked women made me so angry i had to go slam my penis in a car door"


[ http://www.bash.org/?221580 ]
<Queued> It must be late -- "perl5" is looking like "penis"
<Boinger69> Stay up until "VB" looks like "a good idea"


[ http://www.bash.org/?1180 ]
<yaragn> ever seen that movie? The Matrix?
<yaragn> with those green lines of flying text?
<yaragn> *THAT'S* Perl


[ http://www.bash.org/?757207 ]
<iank> I accidentally type valid perl when I'm angry.
