OSS PING
If you are interested in the OSS ping list please mail me
Ha! Ha! Pathetic!!
But just in case, throw those Open Source commies in the clink just in case!
"Who gave you permission to invade my website and block me and anyone else from accessing it???," Taylor wrote to CentOS. "Please remove your software immediately before I report it to government officials!! I am the City Manager of Tuttle, Oklahoma."
More like the City Idiot!!!!
That's what happens when open source kooks like those at CentOS try to explain their commie philosophy to red blooded Americans, it simply doesn't make sense. So then they try to smear him in foreign newspapers and hack his computers. Typical.
That's got to be the most pathetic troll post you've come up with in months.
Taylor declined to respond to this reporter's request for comment but did write to a member of El Reg's marketing team.I do not follow instructions that show up when a website that I am not familiar with appears on my computer and I do not think anyone with experience would do so either. Once the Centos site appeared on four computers at one site I contacted our web service provider. The web service provider did not know what could cause the problem and had never heard of "CentOS". I then contacted the internet provider's local office and was told that they did nothing to cause the problem. I checked the building's server and found nothing relating to CentOS on the server. I was then left with only the web page email address to contact. I asked for the strange website to be removed because it blocked my City web site and I could not post public information. I only got help after threatening to contact the FBI.
Now I am being flooded with emails from CentOS users that after knowing the answer say the problem was simple. I think this is unjustified and would like for this to stop. Your website should provide useful information and be a credit to the IT world. I do not believe it should be used to incite the users. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
So stop, now. Please.
Yet you can't debunk it, or even try. I don't have much patience with know-it-all one-world open source fanatics myself, neither do a lot of people. Poor little things get their feelings hurt when people speak to them on direct terms, then try to smear them or hack their computer instead. Consider this simply another example.
"I am computer literate! I have 22 years in computer systems engineering and operation. Now, can you tell me how to remove 'your software' that you acknowledge you provided free of charge? I consider this 'hacking.'"
ROFL.
I believe he's been involved with computer systems for 22 years. I've seen a ton of people, especially info management types who have trouble turning on a workstation, much less actually doing any technical work.
There, fixed. I've had this same problem with you, a complete inability to understand basic concepts even after they've been posted to you multiple times.
I think we've found your soul mate.
You might want to try to remove your head from your rectum, the view is much clearer that way.
See, here come the insults. Probably trying to hack my computer now too.
That's classic GE. They tried to help him from his very first post, but he refused to listen and blamed them instead of realizing his own stupidity.
Your website should provide useful information and be a credit to the IT world.
Dude doesn't know The Register, does he?
Actually I have already succeeded in subverting you with my mind control ray.
Please tell me your initial comment was a joke without a sarcasm tag.
Given your proven lack of knowledge of IT security, that would probably be like dynamiting fish in a barrel. I have better things to do with my time.
Told you that would come back to haunt you.
I never cry to the moderator around here, it's usually one of you boys, especially n3wbi3.
The Register is just another one of the foreign websites you boys love to quote around here. Beleive me I know all about it, and the lies they constantly spread.
No this is what happens when clueless people spout off about how much they know. Hell if the provider was running IIS they might have seen the page under construction, if they were running Solaris they would see either an Apache or SunOne default screen..
So then they try to smear him in foreign newspapers and hack his computers.
What hack is this? The man already falsly accused them of it once..
Did you even read the exchange? This idiot started with an attack from ignorance, not asking for help. CentOS tried to help him from the beginning.
He could have avoided this whole thing if he had just read the page he was looking at, and had enough intelligence to understand it. I wonder why he didn't scream at the Apache project, too, since that was pretty prominent on the page. What CentOS did to figure out his problem (although they were not bound to do it and had little helpful information from him) was within the capability of any halfway decent IT person, definitely within the capability of someone with a claimed 20+ years of experience.
