since we know it's bytes 0x10-0x23 why not just write a script that 0s them out and then compare the md5sum to that? I'm sure that wouldn't be hard to add to the ebuild in gentoo.
Well I tried to find the best I could in a 3 minute search. I would have never questioned the 8-bits = a byte if my father-in-law who works on univacs for the FAA hadn't gotten onto me one night about it.:p
Don't bother with GSMP. I've had qcast for over a year now and they've yet to replace defective discs they promised they would over a year ago. It doesn't playback newer divx5 videos without massive frame pauses and drops. It doesn't support SVCDs resolution mpeg2 or any video over 512x384 or above about 1.5Mbits total bandwidth with audio.
They haven't released a promised "frequent update" in many many months.
They've quit responding to their customers and have generally left them out to dry.
It's pretty much a waste of the cost with the loss of any support what so ever.
I used to work for the Relay service and it was illegal to report ANYTHING short of a bomb threat on the facility you are currently working in. As far as the legality is concerned the relay agent is nothing more than a piece of the wire. They keep grief counselors on campus all the time because of some of the crap we had to relay.
Even judges can't legally compell agents to do anything other than relay the conversation. I had one attempt to swear me in once before he would let me relay the call. The manager of my center had to quote to law to the judge before he would give up on insisting I had to be sworn in. (and since I wasn't actively relaying a conversation no this isn't confidential.)
Of course this may have changed since the whole terrorism acts but I doubt it. The advocates are relatively powerful for keeping agents as nothing more than a piece of the wire.
What software/hardware are you running to do this? It sounds exactly like something I've thought about doing before but at the time couldn't figure it out.
Have you actually been keeping up with some of the lawsuits and crap phone companies are going through or just reading slashdots "evil monopoly" reports and feel informed?
The phone companies are quickly coming to the conclusion that DSL is not worth the hassle of leasing their lines to competition for LESS than it costs them to install the lines. Can you come up with any reason a company would do this? I know if I were running the company DSL would have been dead a long time ago because of crap like this and having to put an equal # of DSL lines in lower income areas where DSL will NEVER sell because of equal access rules.
People whine all the time about this but never seem to read anything but the evil monopoly side of things here on slashdot.
The decision said, "we're not going to force you to sell quite as much of the infrastructure you've PAID to develop and the weasely little CLECs and ISPs want to steal for a lowered cost."
I'm honestly suprised phone companies are still around after all the stupid "anti monopoly" laws that are enforced on them. You should really work in the actual phone company before whining so much. you'd be amazed what you can't do as a phone company employee.
Why would anyone think that being forced to get rid of things you've produced AT COST OR BELOW is a fair thing? Why don't people whine about the cable companies not sharing all their infrastructure everytime we turn around? You want competetion? write your representative and say you want cable companies to open up their broadband to competing networks. Put them on the same level as the phone companies you people love to whine about.
Actually the phone companies like SBC are still HEAVILY regulated by the government..One of the issues that is slowing DSL rollout is the fact for every neighborhood that can afford to have DSL the phone company has to offer it to a ghetto area for "equal access" Thus the cost goes from a single $100,000 DSLAM to 2 $100,000 DSLAMS one of which will never EVER pay for itself.
I hate the tech support that won't admit they don't know what the hell they're talking about. "It's a corrupt tcp/ip stack!" "What stack? PPP never even sends the init string since your computer hangs up on me the moment I enter my password." Quickly followed by, "I know more than you sir. put a semicolon in your dial script.", "There is already one there as per your online support, I told you that when we started...How many more do you want there?" "Sir, I've been using computers for 15 years and I know it's a tcp/ip stack corruption don't act snotty with me." Three hours later, low and behold their server lost my password...and people wonder why I assume tech support knows less than me.
Try selling them wooden spoons. Tell them that you sell them and you will be fired if you don't sell one today. Let them know that they can stir liquid with this wooden spoon and that it has a concave shape for sampling the liquid. Don't take no for an answer. They hang up before I'm done now. Unfortunately, I'm not getting very many calls anymore (around 3 a month now).:/
Actually, I'm engaged and have been living with my fiancee for 6 months.. She doesn't have a problem with the cabinets and enjoys going to the arcade auctions. One of the games, a badlands, even belongs to her. I'm not sure why people always assume I don't have a signifigant other. *sigh*
Just buy a real arcade game. They cost almost nothing and games cost from $10-$100. With a Jamma cabinet you can put most games made after 1986 in it without changes and you can get converters for most games made before 1986.
I have 6 cabinets that can hold 7 games at a time total and about 30 boards for less than $400.
Having a real arcade monitor and having the game run without color problems and many many other glitches that mame has is much better than mame in my opinion.
I got the source for the assembler from motorolla and modified it to work with linux. the only problem I had was I had to disable output or not us the % in my source code. the original source is here. http://www.mot.com/pub/SPS/MCU/mcu12/

Well if you're going to the 60s look up univac documentation. They traditionally had 6-bit bytes[nasa.gov].

Modify Mydoom.bleh to hit the server during the time that the clients are there for the demo? *shrugs*
That and a whole lot more happened to mine. but they've finally gotten on the ball and are sending me a new laptop for all the trouble.
What software/hardware are you running to do this? It sounds exactly like something I've thought about doing before but at the time couldn't figure it out.
hmm I'm a 6'3" 420 pound bi nerd and getting plenty of action. Sounds like you're just not doing it right. :p
but the upgrade seems to have broken official client as well. :p
actually since the kilo weighs less you weigh more because it takes more kilograms to equal your mass. :p

argh. I just got up. that made no sense damn phonics...
How will more bandwidth lower the chances of high bandwidth applications?
Ok, explain to me how giving a company MORE bandwidth is going to lesson the chances of getting high bandwidth services.
