Post #180,935 by FuManChu 10/25/04 5:37:58 PM Reply	Ran across a funny Debian thread ...one developer [link\|http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/1999/01/msg00059.html\|suggesting]: I think we should change the default LILO config to prompt the user (so they don't have to hit shift to get a LILO prompt) and then time out in a reasonable value, say 7 seconds. This can be done by adding: prompt timeout=70 to the default /etc/lilo.conf. Is the boot floppies package the right place for this? Making the user hit shift for a LILO prompt is oogy. I agree; it's oogy. :) The Sig: "Despite the seemingly endless necessity for doing so, it's actually not possible to reverse-engineer intended invariants from staring at thousands of lines of code (not in C, and not in Python code either)."

Post #180,951 by folkert 10/25/04 8:14:08 PM Reply	Should have mentioned previous post was a :-P I have seen some REALLY hilarious threads lately in Debian Boot and Debian-Devel about the freeze. Recently Joey Hess responding to someone blathering: I see you can't distinguish your own writing and someone else's, because you've mistakenly started to attack yourself. Heck, you don't even understand your complaint, I surely don't, therefore I must object. I'll see if I can did it up. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]
