Exodus Files For Chapter 11 Protection
rit writes: "Albeit a bit expected, it is shocking to find that Exodus Communications has gone ahead and filed for bankruptcy. Exodus is one of the largest hosting facilities, and their major competitor, Above.net (owned by MetroMedia Fiber) is in pretty much the same boat ... circling the metaphorical drain of the dot-com world." Note that filing for protection from creditors while reorganizing is not the same as hanging up a big "closed" sign -- Exodus is still operating, and hopefully will be able to keep the LEDs turned on for a good long while (since Slashdot is hosted there).

Funny how the stupid ones use anon coward...well suits them, they are cowards in real life too :)

If they understood the Koran it teaches peace, so a few extremists take it way out there. You know theres likely a higher precentage of whites that are insane/mass murderers then any other race?
Wariac can cut-n-paste and make text italic.
Congrats on your achievements.
AC.
I know that two days ago all my packets headed to ICQ's (aol's) servers were hopping to Above.Net, and then just dieing.
I had never seen that name before until then, and seeing that they may be going broke very soon is kinda interesting.
I have been using tasm+tlink for a DOS app that I am writing but it turned out i needed MMX support and that forced
/zi myfile.obj I get some messages
/x everything is fine)
me to change my assembler. I chose nasm because I have been using it before in my other programs. I am still linking
everything with tlink.
The problem is: Everything compiles and links without warnings and usually runs but I can't link the debug version
correctly - if I do: nasm16 -f obj -g myfile.asm tlink
about wrong segment offsets and don't get any executable (if I exclude -g and use tlink
Other thing I found out is that the code mov ax,seg variable mov ds,ax mov di,var loads ds:di with different (however
valid) segment and offset than equivalent tasm code. My question is: what should I do to make nasm produce object
files that exactly match ones produced with tasm, so that I can link debug executable and don't get these segment/offset
differences?
I was just up in Vancouver visiting a managed hosting company called Roundheaven Communications. While I was signing in to receive my visitor pass I noticed the three individuals signed in before me marked their company down as Slashdot. I could not make out the names however because they were more or less unreadable.
added "Kill all Sand Niggers" Thank you.
The WTC tragedy has atleast one positive side: extreme-right parties are on the rise everywhere in Europe and this attack will greatly help our cause to overthrow leftist arab-loving dictatures of Europe.
And soon, my friends, we shall punish these beasts accordingly...
When you spell 'house' as 'haus,' you just end up souding like an idiot. It's just not cool to pretend like your German when you're not. You're probably the same guy that's always going off about his 'boxen.' That just isn't 'l33t.'

TCP is designed to deal with loss, yes, but only loss due to congestion. When it encounters loss, it backs off. The problem is, if you get loss due to some other reason, like radio noise or a faulty unit, where congestion isn't the cause, tcp will just keep slowing down trying to fix the problem, when in fact, the best solution would be to just keep retrying without changing parameters.
UDP, on the other hand.. just means they didn't want to rely on TCP's flow control. UDP does have error checking; there is a checksum in the IP header.
It doesn't mean there is necessarily no error chekcing or retransmission.. it just means they did it their own way. OF course, I have no idea how the Everquest protocol actually works...
We shove Jimmy Dean® Homestyle Pork Sausage up Mohammed's ass. Then while the Giver strokes me off I shoot my wad in Mohammed's face, after which we force Mohammed to fellate an 800 pound Chester White, while two rabbis shit on Mohammed's back. The Giver pumps Mohammed from behind. After the hog shoots its wad in Mohammed's mouth, and The Giver shoots his up Mohammed's ass, we all bury Mohammed up to his nose in pig manure. Two AIDS infected Bowery whores stuff their used condoms and clotted tampax down Mohammed's throat, and crack a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 over his skull. We then leave him for the hogs to munch on. Mohammed is swine feed, and by tomorrow, he will be swine manure.
mod this up its funny
so is this...

the underated insightful truth
On the Koran: Yes
On the insane: Pure fiction
On the use of AC: Insert what ever your religion uses for "Right on"...
And if your Atheist... umm Yeah...
There are fanatics in any group let's be realistic.
Slashdot fanatics won't go trying to kill Bill Gates only becouse we all have a stright line to Cmndr Taco..
Nobody can sit around saying "It is the will of the Taco" becouse the moment you do that Cmdr Taco will retort "Your out of your mind. Go away..."
Alah would say "Your idiots" to the terrorists if the Koran could be updated daily
I'd love to see slashdot hosted on a 56K link out of Rob's bedroom.
