So what made you think that being some kind of intelligent computer kid would give you exemption from gym class? No wonder they made you sit down and do nothing!
CDC of course is famous for tools like Back Orifice,
which is mostly controversial because its a perfectly legit admin tool with a really
scary sounding name...
The one thing I never understand about lawsuits is why people always have to ask for money after they've lost someone close.
Will money give them comfort? Will 5 BILLION DOLLARS allow them to get over the pain of losing a son or daughter?
To see the victims convicted and locked away, that's what I'd like to see in order to deal with the loss, but I fail to see how lots of dollars will do any good.
Not that I endorse this lawsuit, but if I was suing anyway, I'd request the close down of those game companies.
Advertisers don't like us for that but that's their problem.
Actually, advertisers don't care. They rather have people who do like to watch ads, see them. Take the online ad system for example. Advertisers don't care if you use junkbuster, you were not going to click through anyway. They might even be happy for this because you get less pissed and annoyed on commercials at a whole.
It's a sort of self-regulating targeted-advertisement process.
So by skipping ads on your tivo, it's a win-win situation for both you and the advertisers.

Tatu writes in his email: "The old SSH1 protocol and implementation are known to have
fundamental security problems, some of which have been described in
recent CERT vulnerability notices and various conference papers.
OpenSSH is doing a disservice to the whole Internet security community
by lengthing the life cycle of the fundamentally broken SSH1
protocols."
I've always used ssh1, I don't know why, I guess because the first time I started using it, a friend said to me: "Use ssh1, ssh2 sucks". So I did. What are the main differences between ssh1 and ssh2 and why is ssh1 fundamentally broken and ssh2 not?
Also, last time I looked, OpenSSH can use both protocol 1 and 2.
Netherlands, and from this page I see that we use the official SI standards: 000 000 = million
000 000 000 = milliard
000 000 000 000 = billion
000 000 000 000 000 = billiard
000 000 000 000 000 000 = trillion
There IS a difference between the American way of counting and the official way of counting. The fact that UK citizens are stupid enough to embrace the US version doesn't make that difference go away.
The spirit and ethic on which DCTI was founded has been betrayed.
I'm sorry you feel that way. And you're wrong. It would be a sellout if UD took over distributed.net and the non-profit status of DCTI would disappear, forcing the users to switch to a commercial entity.
No one is forcing you to switch to UD. You have a choice. distributed.net will continue to live, the only thing that changed is that 14 of the distributed folks (including myself) will change their real-life job to one where the job (UD) and the hobby (dnet) are very closely tight now.
When is DCTI going to stop throwing hardware (by translation, money) at badly designed processing?!
I invite you to come to EFnet once again and talk to "bwilson". He does SQL for a living and has revamped the stats engine completely. Partial statsruns are done hourly, almost invisibly. And once a day, a quick totalization is performed. That every now and then statsrun fail miserably is partly because this new system is still beta, and because decibel doesn't have enough time and resources to work on it. And guess what! That's going to change! Decibel will actually work on databases for distributed stuff full time, and getting paid for it. How much more motivation do you need.
Whoever becomes President will lack any
kind of mandate, that much is clear. What is more important, though, is that no one really wants either of them.
I would actually say that whoever is elected president now, gets 75% of the people behind him; 50% of the voters (that's 25% of the population) and 50% of the population that didn't vote at all. The latter obviously don't care and will endorse either one as president.
What happened to the theory that the three great pyramids were aligned according to the stellation of Orion, and put together in such a way that the Nile would be the Milkyway. And to make it even more perfect, if you look through a tunnel in the biggest of the three pyramids, you can see Aurora rising.
Both that exact configuration of Orion and the Milkyway and the star rising and being visible through that tunnel also happened only once in history, so that's how other scientist claim they know how old the pyramids really are.

Hah, indeed!
It's funny to get that heart disease flyer addressed to "Mr. Dorm 4th floor" (which is the name under which we registered our dorm's phone line).
For reference: In Western Europe we pay:
~$0.75 for a CD-R (DFL 1.75 in NL)
~$4.25 for a gallon of gas (DFL 2.70/liter in NL)
I would die for your American prices...
Moderations Totals for CmdrTaco: Troll -5
If you find a new job right after you get fired at the old one, a simple new H1B-application (not the approval) will keep you in-status.
And apart from that, it seems the INS has some new policies about treating H1B-layoffed that still hang around in the country.

Man, it must be pretty cool to work for DirectTV now. Being able to say: I was the one who came up with the plan to lure a whole community of hackers.
Those first bytes should have read: "DirecTV is the ueberhacker! Bow before us".
Don't you actually mean:

No what were your other complaints?

A 75% mandate from the people, not bad.

Just submit it again, who know, CmdrTaco might post it tomorrow under a different caption, only to remove it an hour later.
You might have your 15 minutes of fame then.

Can David get +10 (Funny) karma for just submitting this story?
Please please please?

Out of the 6 times I've voted so far, 5 of them were electronically. For the local gvt, national govt. (Netherlands) and for the European parliament.
Guess the "most technologically advanced" country in the world has more faith in punch cards than computers.
