Reminds me of the interview the dailyshow did a few weeks back where the interviewed a spammer who kept complaining about the unsolicited e-mail he gets from anti-spam activists. These people are bastards. They are serving no useful or productive purpose.

Here's a link. This one has some amusing text in addition to the original content.

Enjoy

Here's another link to the Daily Show clip.

Is it whitish?

Like saying gold christmas wrapping paper should be pure gold.

Unless they state it contains Silver Ag, then they will have a problem.

If you're behind one of the broken networks with outdated filters, you won't be able to reach 69box.atlantic.net. For that reason, it's got an alternate non-69 IP with a hostname of not69box.atlantic.net

Jon Lewis setup a nice utility to test if your network is affected by outdated filters.

http://69box.atlantic.net/

It includes a nifty traceroute utility that you can use to test with.

As a holder of space in the 69/8 range, I'll admit the problem is annoying, but thanks to people like Jon, and this posting on Slashdot, hopefully it will go away.

Apparently the 69.0.0.0/8 is enough of an issue that folks on that address space can't even read this article on slashdot.org.

Good one! Kinda reminds me of this.

There appears to still be a bit of a player community and they have the language docs:

Are there any good opennap networks up now? Is anything being done?

Yeah, that annoyed me too... however, there IS help available. I personally use gnapfetch to download OpenNap network lists in formats both Gnapster and TekNap could understand. Of those, I personally prefer the OggVorbis and NecessaryEvil networks... while they are frequently full and take a couple of minutes to get in, actually getting a connection to the servers is usually not a problem (as opposed to other networks) and the selection is fairly decent.

Just my $.02...

Of course, you'll need a method of Powering your Spacecraft :

Water (Energy Conversion)
Energy (Energy Production)
Solar Power (Energy Production)
Wind Generators (Fuel Production)

Something tells me that whoever wrote this should perhaps not be taken entirely seriously....

I don't know if it's a classic game, but one of the PC games I remember playing was this game called "OMEGA." There are still some copies out there on the net if you want to look for them. Here's one omega page.

Now that was a game. It has it's own little programming syntax you use to program your tank. You can then pit your tank against anyone else's in a simulation. It programmer vs. programmer.

Might even be kinda fun to have a little tournament...? (Not like I have the time for it :) )
