well I'd do it. I would sweat my guts out; cough my own blood up during hellish daily 30 mile drills with a 22'' monitor on my back, for 10 months untill I meet the requirements, all for uncle sam!
As long as I can kill people with my.45 or with my bare hands, well they'd let me decide, I'm sure,...oh.uh, wait just a sec, we were talking about a shitty nt4-sp1 (now, stay focussed) socalled-hack-by-terrorists-which-was-in-fact-just -a-bug-exploited-by-some-scriptkiddies-in-the stoneage-or-feature-you're-not-really-sure-but-the -cia-is-shutting-your-mouth -anyhow-so-you-stopped-caring-after-this-thought-r eached-you-which-was-when-you-filled-in-the-realon e(tm)-questionaire (strange how things go sometimes right?)-which-was-recorded-by-echelon-somehow-and- they-approached-you sys-admin-"ish" job here right?
It made me think, say you have an "evil enemy" company, or wait.. a corporation (it sounds more evil somehow) which is stealing all your hard earned profits. All you have to do is get a car with a couple of nice antennas (if you want to do it nice, but perhaps you won't even need it) and a couple of laptops and park it close to their office. Then you intercept the channel and ssid of their wlan, and you start to flood it with a lot of random packets using their channel and ssid. That's going to be more than a little annoying then, perhaps to the point that some people would even call it a DOS attack right?
Now, I don't think such a thing is illegal or is it?
I read about these kind of events a lot on slashdot, AFTER they already started, it's too late to arrange a plane-ticket for me now. What are good sites where you can see what coming events are taking place?
There's also people who just setup there own wireless internet access for the block or neighborhood. Letting everyone share there connection, for free.
That's a hell of a job they're pulling there then, because I have troubles to get the signal clear in my living room from a 10 meters distance (with two walls of reinforced concrete between the gateway and the livingroom and a intel wireless gateway). I don't understand how people can make such long distances, they must use very expensive gateways then or many "cheap" ones!
Everybody will play with the same hardware, so it really comes down to hardcore gaming skills, you cannot blaim the hardware for loosing frags (till a certain degree ofcourse because it still is an Xbox)
Yeah they could, but it would take too much effort. They first have to make the probabilities factor change by sending you a whole lot of legitimate email (as if) and then later send you a spam message that can finally contain the words they made less likely to be spam.. wait a minute!
hmm sounds like a great idea, how about this a elisa style bot starts a mail conversation with you after sending 10 mails back and forward the bot sends you a spam message, the bot has beaten your spamfilters because the filters don't think someone on your contact list would send you a spam message right and you will read the spam message quite focussed, the spam message will be actually read, because you don't understand it and you think the bot is a person!
well don't be surprised if you experience it one day, remember this message, it started it all!
I spent about six months writing software that looked for individual spam features before I tried the statistical approach...[cut]...Based on my corpus, "sex" indicates a.97 probability of the containing email being a spam, whereas "sexy" indicates.99 probability.
ofcourse these probabilities may vary from person to person.
Well actually there was a little MMORPG for Leisure Suit Larry a couple of years ago called Leisure Suit Larry's Casino. You could make money in the casino and buy items, buy nice rooms and hang out in the bubble bath with some babes, all of this online. It was fun as I recall it, but people found ways too cheat with it and it became a little stupid after that, because everybody had maxed out their money by then. But the game didn't have a monthly subscribtion fee so that was good.
Has the word laptop case-mod of the year (actually that's more than one word) written all over it for someone with the right state of mind and with a little too much money, or just enough as you can put it.
They could put it in somesort of hermetically sealed 'plastic bag' and once the thing is out of reach from contamination it will unleash itself from the 'bag'.
Hopefully this distro will encourage companies like steinberg (cubase) emagic (protools) to make their software available for linux.
I doubt it though, but if it does I can imagine myself sitting behind a rocksolid computer in the studio with a cool desktop manager.
I won't be running redhat but gentoo, unless ofcourse the redhat people and the software manufacurors decide that the audiosoftware will only run under this distro.
My university results for certain classes are publicized on a professors page, he has a webpage for each class each year.
Somehow this page ends up in google and google-cache. I guess it's linked from his regular site. Is this knowledge that should be known to anyone else on the internet than the people that are into that class? I don't think so. I never asked to put these results on the net in the first place.
But you see, you can be using nicknames and aliases in your net-existance, but still sensitive information about yourself can get in the public in ways simular to this.
Sounds great. But you forget if there's no electricity, then there won't be any antennes from the phonecompany because those need electricity too. And they have only a small radius.
I read at highest scores first. The thing that strikes me is that everybody's been moderated to funny sofar. What if a big-ass meteorite was really heading into a collision-course with our planet. I'm pro-post-acopoliptic-minded, but such a thing would mean slashdot won't be the same, that's a shame. So please take it a little bit more serious, cause such a thing is inevitable in the end. What would happen if, say China, would take away this threath by nuking it. We all read past episodes didn't we? My thought is if there's a threath like this it's going to be a boxingmatch between the most powered governments at that time, , they are just there to pull out their muscles to show how easy it is to take care of such a threath. It's not more than a marketing stumt that's been bit on the expensive side. The UN will follow the country that saved us everbodies asses, not for these reasons, but because of they always follow the strongest leader. Even the people who found out about it are going to be heroes.. What do you expect if this were true?
I know why slashdot is promoting it. I stumbled upon the generator a few months ago, while searching for something else with google.
Then I decided to make it part of my evil plot to take over the world by using it as my signature on slashdot (you have to start somewhere, you know. It was funny to see that other people noticed it and started to use it as well.
Now that the first step of my mission is completed, I will have to think of another signature.
I just use raid-5 on my fileservers, when a drive dies no data is lost and you don't have to make annoying backups everytime because of this fact. You have to replace the broken drive before another one dies otherwise everything is lost.
I know a musician who has made a portable studio out of a bleeding fast laptop an highend external soundcard and a mic with a little tube amplifier, he takes this set anywhere he goes. Usually he goes to the artists that want him to compose the music, because they don't have time to go this his studio.
I know from experience that running virtual studio on a computer forces you to use multiple displays, I use 3 displays for displaying my cubase sx stuff, which rocks, only thing is they all have different sizes so that's not really handy sometimes.
Before I read the specs on this laptop it seemed like a great machine to use for music purposes, but then I saw that it used the ali magic chipset, which sucks - at least for desktop computers - if you want to use a lowlatency soundcard.
I might want to buy it if it had the newer xp processors and an other chipset, but I think I rather buy 3 nice 18.1" lcd screens instead.
I've made myself a terabyte fileserver a while ago, everything's raid-5 so there's redundant data incase one of the 160gb drives crashes. I wouldn't want to use a single gb drive, imagine yourself collecting a lot of data and then that single drive crashes, all of that work would be for nothing. I got firewire installed on it so the speed is really fast for other computers. Another thing is you have to be very tidy with your archive, otherwise such a big drive is going to be very messy.
A few years ago you could buy 2hb in the shops around here, it had exactly the same effect. Things got 3d on the telly, no expensive hardware or whatever! They stopped selling it when the government declared it a drug. So now whenever we want to watch 3d fx on the telly we have to take the still legal mushrooms.
I used to play a lot of rts games with my brothers and we liked to play with our own extra rules: we didn't attack eachother the first 45 minutes so we could all make pretty cool defense systems. Usually a harvesting unit would somehow end up to close to the enemies border, this would trigger some build-up agression which ended up at a total war after 30 minutes orso and a fight after the game ended, sometimes someone would shut off the computer when loosing the battle (computer: "it's just you and me now!").
Any of you people use your own extra rules with these kind of games?

well I'd do it.

There already is very good hardware support for some of the audiocards. I use the RME hammerfall digi 96 which is completely supported
