    Everyone should just skip AOTC and wait for the AOTC 2003 edit to come out.

  5. Phantom Edit 2001 by Rufus211 · · Score: 3, Informative · on Star Wars Phantom Menace 1.1 Editor Speaks

    A new Phantom Edit has just been released this month. True it's not by the same guy that did the original (LA) version, but then again the 2nd (NY) version was done by 2 unrelated people in NY, so I guess it makes sense for the 3rd (DC) version to be made by yet an other unrelated person.
    You can find info about it at the phantom edit forum. Also you can download a 2cd VCD of the new version (thanks to Bit Torrent!) from me here.

    I imagine wget or another HTTP client can be coaxed to spit out the spider and browser type strings associated with search engine spiders. It would be a simple, straightforward hack to make a script that would request a page twice, once reporting itself as a search engine (and requesting the robots.txt file for good measure) and secondly as a regular browser. Then do a simple compare.

    For wget, --user-agent= AgentString will determine what user agent it reports. A list of user agent strings may be found here. The file robots.txt is retrieved by default in wget.

    I ended up with something I call "FreeBSD on a stick". Orignal intentions were to hang this puppy on the wall. Didn't work out like I had hoped.

    A degree doesn't nessesarily mean anything (I have an Art degree as well)

    Correction: an art degree doesn't mean anything, excepting that your parents were middle-class. Any subject where your average student can miss more than 25% of the classes and still get an A is pure uselessness.

    Also, you MUST have your own unix (linux) box at home where you can do serious damage and try stuff out before you try things at work.

    Why not figure out what the hell you are doing before you do it? Oh, and by the way, Unix is not Linux. Getting Quake to work on your over-clocked Celeron through X11 does not qualify you to run real servers.

    I have also found that though reading Orielly books cover to cover helps

    Yes, reading is a good thing, especially in order to figure out what the hell you are doing before you do it, which is mentioned above. Other books that you should read may be found here.

    Also, learn perl ;)

    Not to mention FORTRAN, C, C++, Forth, COBOL (yes, even COBOL), Pascal, shell scripting, how to program your HP calculator to play music, and of course the meanings of all of those stupid little smilies.

    Actually, it might be interesting to see just what the do allow in. I have generated a list of all the browser return strings that my web browser has recieved like this:

    chris % cat ~apache/logs/combined_access_log | cut -d \" -f 6 | sort | uniq > ~apache/htdocs/user_agents

    You can look at the list for more user agents at http://habakkuk.d2g.com/user_agents. I kind of like the idea of reporting that I am Googlebot, I kind of doubt that they will block that.
