Doom as an interface to kill processes exists for quite some time now.
However there is a new nice idea. Wolfotrack enhances Wolfenstein3D to use the conntrack extension of netfilter and links each person in the game to a connection from the connection tracking table, If you open a door the table will be refreshed.

Each person is linked to a connection from the conntrack table if it exists. Everytime a door is opened this connection tracking table is refreshed. If you kill the person in the game you kill the associated connection.


Best firewall GUI I saw so far!

Linus Torvalds on lkml:

In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd
people.

Ever saw one of youtube's 500 Internal Server Error messages, no?

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

Ever heard about the ITB? If not, the website describes it as the leading trade fair for the international tourismus industry. INTERNATIONAL is the keyword here. I got a copy of their invitation flyers today and the QA they did for the front cover speaks for itself. It seems to be a nice INTERNATIONAL event.
Look at this (click on it to see the full cover):

We all know these crappy verdicts you can find on public toilets, usually sexist, racist or similar stuff.
But today when I sat on a toilet in a local cinema I saw this one. Actually the best saying I saw so far ;-P

Oh and no, I don't think I am legend is such a good movie. Ok the leading part is considered to be a fairly reliable actor but the story is not that different from Resident Evil Anyway, Wills acting was pretty good and of course it was good entertainment. But nothing more. For people who liked the backstory character, I can really recommend Amores perros though.

While searching some torrent on piratebay I noticed a little legal link at the bottom of the site. This is a listing of legal threats
mails against the pirate bay from several lawyers because of "violating various copyrights". The site also lists replies by the piratebay people.

They are pretty much fun to read and here is my personal best-of:

response to dreamworks:
It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ....... morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.
...
Go fuck yourself.

response to EA:
Hello and thank you for contacting us. We have shut down the website in question.

Oh wait, just kidding. We haven't, since the site in question is fully legal. Unlike certain other countries, such as the one you're in, we have
sane copyright laws here. But we also have polar bears roaming the streets and attacking people .

response to ADV films:Hello, my dear sir(s)!
We all like Evangelion a lot. This, however, does not mean that we like YOU
....
Sincerely
/Judas, on the behalf of The Pirate Bay

response to Apple:

Instead of simply recommending that you sodomize yourself with a
retractable baton, let me recommend a specific model - the ASP 21". The
previous lawyers tried to use a cheaper brand, but it broke during the
action.

response to Warner:

The material hosted on The Pirate Bay is (check all that apply):
Your copyrighted work
German scheisse-porn
Torrent files X

response to White Stripes / WEB SHERIFF:
Now that's what I call a miserable attempt at a cliff-hanger. Let me guess, you failed your literature classes? Just like you failed law
school and the police academy, and became MR WEB SHERIFF. John, is that you?
