Maybe you could drip a little more sarcasm. You would be like the queen in ALIENS, with so much dripping.

Trinux - Bad Hacker Linux! BAD!
1999-08-16 12:16:39
Wow! I've talked before about bad Linux distributions, but Trinux might take the CAKE. It's the VERY BAD LINUX for VERY BAD HACKER PEOPLE. Beaujolais to that!
The deal is that this Trinux is a single-floppy Linux distribution. It's got a whole bunch of tools for network monitoring and probing a computer. It's billed as a "security tool," but we all know that that just means it's for BAD HACKERS!
Anyways, all you have to do is walk up to a computer, drop in the Trinux floppy, boot up, and you've got a complete tool for FUCKING UP a computer network. It's got all this software on the SINGLE FLOPPY to go mucking around all over a network, doing all kinds of bad things! I don't know what those things are, but they're bad! Of that I am SURE!
The cool thing is that when you're done, you pop out the diskette, reboot again, walk away, and it's like it NEVER HAPPENED! Weird, eh? Very HACKERISH is my feeling about the whole matter.
Hell, man, you should be getting PARANOID at this point. All those seldom-used computers all around your office could be running Trinux right now! Sniffing passwords! Anally probing your secretaries! Physically violating your support staff! AAAAAAH!
The only problem I have with Trinux as Super Bad Linux Distro of the Century is that I'm unable to ferret out the German Connection. It's well known that everything evil and bad in Linux has its ultimate origin in the Fatherland. The question is: how? Trinux was developed by Antonio Garcia, which doesn't sound too German to me. There's a whole dev team, but they're based in San Antonio, TX, which is like the LEAST GERMAN TOWN in the U S of A. So, I dunno. The jury's still out on this one.
Anyhoo, if you're looking for super bad Linux, or even if you're actually INTERESTED in computer security (pshaw - right! as IF!), you should check out this Trinux, eh? Tell em Pigdog sent you.

A Treatise Prepared for the Gallup Organization on the Symbolism of the Scarab
Well dahlings, the response to my new tarot column has been quite overwhelming. I got three whole pieces of mail requesting my arcane insight. One asked why blogs suck so much, and one was a completely incomprehensible tale of bears shitting random numbers in the woods — I am fairly certain it was a cryptographic allegory. Howsomever, only ONE of the inquiries was accompanied by a crisp ten-dollar bill, and so it's the Gallup Organization that will this week reap the benefit of my wicked pack of cards. (More...)

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
