Slashdot Mirror

The story is no longer on the web, nor is it in google's cache but it is available from the wayback machine

The way back machine has it as well.

Thanks. Here's the direct link to the main page, as the Wayback Machine seems to have a little trouble with the load already:

How do Klingons compute?

How about the wayback machine's caches? (as this page has been around since August 2000)

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.geocities. com/connorbd/varaq/

It "fixes" most of the links (a few still sometimes point back to the original site, but often or not a refresh will fix that)

For some real figures on how much space it is to cache the web, check out The Wayback Machine. All of their caches come out to 100TB. They have more info on their site about different times and how much storage it takes them.

Hopefully this is what you all were after :)

This circuit was not isolated from the power line and has been removed due to the danger involved in such a setup.

Although web archive's archives of the Repair FAQ only go back to 15 Feb 2K1, if I remember correctly the removed link went to the page Slashdot is linking too. Word from the wise: I'm not saying Nixies are inheirently dangerous, but many schmatics involving Nixie tubes do not isolate from the power line. And don't forget the big red warning on the page:

Warning! As this design uses a transformerless power supply, the whole circuit is at mains potential. Disconnect before making any adjustments etc. If you need to use an oscilloscope for debugging, the circuit MUST be operated through an isolating transformer.

(I did a quick scan through the comments and didn't see any links to my favorite new internet contraption, The Wayback Machine, so I thought I'd post the link.)

You can check out the Loki site at various points in time with The Wayback Machine.

• Let's get this straight:

  A president we did not elect, heading a government bought off by corporations, arrogantly and agressively pushes a pro-corporate domestic agenda and foreign policy. Now over 6,000 people are dead and he say's we're at "war", fighting secret battles against unknown enemies, and he wants everyone to be "patriots" by forsaking our civil liberties and going "shopping".

I don't see anything about bomb-making in the copies of his site at archive.org. The archive isn't complete, because some of his pages are generated by CGI scripts, and the archive system doesn't try to archive dynamic content. But the visible content is straight political material.

You can get bomb-making information from mainstream sources. Order Improvised Munitions from Amazon.com. That book is popular with the Christian right and the right-wing "militia" movement.

here's another mirror of the site.

guess GWB isn't a big fan of anti-oil company activist sites. go figgah!

btw, RTF can F'ing die having those damned casino on web popups.

While the message on raisethefist.com says that they need $300 to get their web site back, you can still view much of it by going to archive.org's version of raisethefist.com. Google cache was able to find their pipe bomb directions web page.

Thanks to Archive.org, we can use the Internet Wayback Machine to view the site: Jan 23 or other days

This document, Protection For Coin-Operated Games is pretty interesting. Looks like copy protection was a worry for Atari in 1980. The memo discusses how to handle copy protection issues of PCB's and ROM's. In particular it mentions using checksums to detect violations and then put in unexpected events. It mentions giving away free credits (that'll put someone outta business :P) and causing the graphics to go screwy. The funny thing it says is to wait until later in the game before you start messing it up. Everyone really gets pissed when just before you blow up the death star the game resets!

bbh

I like the concept design for the "ping" game ...

I think they should have arcade versions of all the standard UNIX system functions.

"d00d, I just set the new high score on grep!"

Here's the link via the wayback machine.

lol - enjoy !

Install Linux.

Seriously, the wayback machine(when it functions properly) is great for things like this. The link to its latest edition is here

Enjoy your mirroring experience.

Try the wayback machine

The claims made in these faqs are just not consistent with the law. Are they going to repost everything that was available on Napster?

They also have some problems with their algorithm so that some domains that are redirected fool their algorithm into associating content with a site that was never actually associated with the site. To try to find copywritten works would be a nightmare. Archive.org has refused to respond to any of these issues and, in fact, are lying about it if the quotes in the article are factual.

Some things are just plain funny.

With an appropriate robots.txt file, a site's listing can be stopped from showing up on the Wayback archive. Interesting.

A number of you have asked whether the websites taken down since 9/11 are available on archive.org. The answer is yes. One example is:

DC Air National Guard on Archive

Same Page - 404

One of the conspiracy websites that I have read was saying that combat airplanes, normally on 24 hour alert, at this base should have and could have prevented the plane from entering the restricted airspace in DC. They were saying that this site was removed because it provided evidence that somebody dropped the ball.

No. Like your local library's collections, our collections consist of publicly available documents. Furthermore, our Web collection (the Wayback Machine) includes only pages that were available at no cost and without passwords or special privileges. And if they wish, the authors of Internet documents can remove their documents from the Wayback Machine at http://www.archive.org/internet/remove.html."

I don't really think that they're neccesarily right about this. I'm glad they've got the archive up, and I think it's dandy, but it seems like the copying and reposting of other's materials is a suspect practice. This will end up in court as soon as something that someone removed from their own webspace re-appears historically accurate here. I'd guess some liable suits will be the first...

omg i couldnt believe my eyes goatse what a waste of space..

They don't seem to think the history of their site would be interesting: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://web.archive.or g/ lredirects you to their index.html! boring!

Now, that would really be a test for their apps. Same as if Google indexed www.google.com (entirely).

Dec 21, 1997 barfs on machine, big time. What about you? Does Slashdot crap on your parade?

Wayback slashdot.org goes back to 1997...

Wow! You really weren't trying too hard back in the day, were you Taco?

Wayback Slashdot ...only goes back to 2000? Seems kind of lame when you consider that my little web site goes back to 1998.

The big difference is the alternatives you have for getting access to the banned material. If the blue-nosed thugs ban a movie, and you know they've banned it and want to see it, you *might* be able to buy a copy by mail from Amazon.com that arrives in a brown paper wrapper, you politically incorrect pervert, but you won't be able to go to a theater in Oz and see it, so they've still protected the morals of otherwise-innocent Ozzies.

By contrast, if they list the banned web pages, you can just nip over to anonymizer.com or The Wayback Machine or Google or some other cache or anti-censorship relay site and view it anyway, plus they've publicized a whole bunch of sites you otherwise wouldn't have thought to look at. That's especially important for political censorship (drawing attention to "Aus.Gov't did *this latest* stupid thing" as opposed to burying it), but also important for basic prudish censorship, because there are all sorts of nasty kinky immoral things that average upstanding moral Australians simply wouldn't have thought of if the Government hadn't told them "Here's the stuff we don't want you looking at! Especially *this stuff*".

More seriously, though, somebody else made the comment that the censorship is actually very minimal, and it's a facade that's designed to tell a few noisy right-wingers "yes, we've done what you want, so you can be happy and stop bugging us", and if you actually made the list public it would be obvious want a small fraction of the stuff *some* people might want banned is actually on there - so if the anti-censorship people don't complain loudly about it, you'll actually get a lot less censorship because we can leave it quietly buried in some bureaucratic back room keeping a couple of blue-noses off the streets hunting for pr0n on the internet instead of bothering politicians. It's not the ideal social position for a free and open society, but pragmatically it's possibly better for everybody, and maybe we can task some of the censors to go fight that Other Deadly Sin, Greed, by adding spammers's sites to the blacklists.

Big Number Mathematics

The Real Life Problem

It takes days to download a large (say one movie) file today.

To increase communication speeds throughput over the Internet.

For doing the above a very high compression ratio in the tune of 1000:1 needs to be achieved.

The Possible Approach

In order to do solve the same we have approached the problem using: BIG NUMBER MATHEMATICS.

How Big is this Number ?

The number is in the range of 28,000,000,000

The base of this number system is 232

But the big numbers can not be handled by the computers that exist today

How can Computers handle Big Numbers?

Only if these Big Numbers are converted into numbers which lie within the scope of computation by computers that are present today.

The Challenge

To represent these big numbers by smaller integers.

Encode Big Number into a Small Integer.

And finally Decode the Small Integer and re-create back the Big Number without any loss.

Assumptions in the Big Number Space Domain

No Negative Numbers
No Floating Numbers
Minimize Divisions

But can you backtrack through a google cache? pointym5 writes "Checked out the ZeoSync web site lately?

No, you can't backtrack through a google cache, but you can backtrack through the Web Archive's caches and they do have one link to Zeosync's website from July of 2001. Of course they didn't seem to have links to all those people back then, either.

Googol doesn't offer old copies of websites, unfortunately. (perhaps they should) There is one site that does though, although it's somewhat limited. A search at The Internet Archive turned up a very old copy of ZeoSync's website The archive is great for viewing old versions of websites you like to frequent.
