Wanna charge for email? I've got no problem with that.
Oh, I see... us users should just shut up and let spammers like yourself drive us into pay-per-message email, simply because you can't be bothered finding a business model that doesn't require you to spam people. How nice.
By the way, was it too much trouble to wait until pay-per-message was introduced before you started your spamming? I guess it was...
When someone's trying to be nice about something and you slap them, sometimes they'll go away. But the next person to come along is simply less likely to be nice about it.
If you want to say that these things don't matter, then you're simply encouraging me not to worry about being polite in my next venture.
So in other words, because your inventive business venture wasn't received well by the hordes of frothing-mad users at/., who were all obviously complete nutters, you're going to be even nastier next time? There's a business plan that's guaranteed success!
Perhaps you should move to Nigeria... I hear your kind of business does well there.
(Did you ever stop to think that the reason people are reacting so violently to you is that they simply don't want to receive unsolicited email of any kind?)
Oh, by the way - if you can't tell the difference between UBE and billboards on the highway or TV commercials, I suspect that you're so heavily into self-justification for your actions that you'll keep on believing you were right, no matter what anybody else tells you.
My take on the problem (no guarantees, this may make you bald, blind and impotent, etc. etc.).
The problem lies with the xmalloc line in:
if (nresp > 0) { response = xmalloc(nresp * sizeof(char*)); for (i=0; i < nresp; i++) response[i] = packet_get_string(NULL); }
Basically, the sizeof(char*) will return 4 on a normal x86 machine... which means that if nresp is greater than one-fourth of 0xffffffff (UINT_MAX), i.e. over 0x4000000, then you overflow xmalloc(), which is just a wrapper function for standard malloc().
find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec sh replacescript.sh {} \;
where replacescript.sh is:
--- #!/bin/sh
FILE="${1}" mv "${FILE}" "${FILE}_OLD" sed "s/[Bb]itch[Xx]/virginx/g" "${FILE}_OLD" > "${FILE}" ---
It saves the original files under [filename]_OLD. Easier to do with perl, but perl isn't necessarily installed on all systems.
By the way, what's the point of having a "Code" option for posting if you're going to block posts containing too many non-alpha characters? Jeez, Taco...
I know about the Radius (my company had one - fastest machine available at the time, until Apple stomped all over it four months later with the PPC604 PMacs).
However, I've never heard of a 6100 clone, or a x100 series compatible that didn't use the 601, for that matter.
Would the original poster care to clarify exactly what they were babbling about?
There's been more than one report on l-k of problems most likely caused by people using XPs where they should have used MPs, usually in floating point processing. Frankly, the only people interested in running XPs in an SMP box are skinflint gamers - anybody else would hand over the bucks for MPs (they're not that more expensive) in the knowledge that they're pretty much guaranteed to work.
Admittedly, these models did not use the 601 processor
Then what the hell were they using? And what "6100 compatibles" were produced? The Mac clones didn't come out until well after the NuBus PowerMacs had been EOLed. Perhaps you would care to enlighten us?
I believe that at one point there were patches that allowed chroot-sftp under OpenSSH, but because they were never in sync with the latest version, they're no longer maintained.
Agreed, the Korean matches were a joke, but were you actually watching the Japanese ones? They had to work for every point - they earned their place in the quarter-finals.
Since I got my ADSL line installed, I pay about 3000 yen for the phone line basic fees, plus 4000 yen per month for the ADSL line, plus 2000 yen for the ADSL provider.
Before I got the ADSL line, I used to spend about 9000 yen a month on call fees (Internet usage, in other words).
These days, there's a service called Air H" that offers a compact flash or PCMCIA card for 128Kbps data service at 5000 yen a month (around $US40)... with unlimited usage.
A land line in Japan used to cost ~65000 yen (around $US540) if you bought the line right from NTT; however, most people buy their line right from a broker at a discount - 55000-60000 yen ($US450-500).
In addition, these days NTT offers a deal where your monthly fees are higher, but you pay a lot less for the line right (I haven't had to buy a new line right for the last twelve years, so I don't know how much it costs for that option).
As for the 'months and months' you have to wait to get a new line... figure about five days normally, two weeks max.

You're kidding, right?
I've run John the Ripper against password files at work, and I can usually find a valid password in the first fifteen minutes.

Yeah, 'cause there's no such thing as social engineering...

Yeah, but the MPX chipset gives you 64bit/66MHz PCI slots, whereas the MP only has 64bit/33MHz. Why limit yourself to half the bandwidth?

For my example, look at the 200K being offered to hack the X-Box for Linux. That's exactly what I'm suggesting.
Funny you should mention that. The current leading candidate for the anonymous contributor is... John Gilmore.
Shit! That button really worked!

For most nations that play soccer it is the only game in town, or rather, the country.
Yeah, just keep on telling yourself that while you play the baseball World Series with, what, a whole two countries?
Moron. I guess you think that everybody outside the US lives in mud huts and eats dirt, too.
mediocre teams like Korea and Japan
Agreed, the Korean matches were a joke, but were you actually watching the Japanese ones? They had to work for every point - they earned their place in the quarter-finals.
You forgot Fiji.
Heh... you missed the ". It's read as 'Air Edge', not 'Air Ecchi'.

Well, I've got mosquitoes dancing above the field out back of my apartment... ;)
I used to be on dialup (14.4Kbps -> 28.8Kbps -> 33.6Kbps) before switching to ADSL, and now I can't imagine ever going back.
These days, there's a service called Air H" that offers a compact flash or PCMCIA card for 128Kbps data service at 5000 yen a month (around $US40)... with unlimited usage.
They're already dead in Japan. Last week, Docomo announced that they're dropping their pager service.
Um... ADSL works fine on the same line as your voice phone, and Japan's ADSL adoption rate is massive at the moment.
Er.... that's kind of strange, because Japan doesn't have any GSM phones at all... ;)
The 'handon' (half-day) concept went out of fashion in Japan in the early 80s. These days, almost all companies give the whole weekend off.
Your aunt was slightly misinformed, I think...
