There is a pretty good (true story) tale of a community network getting cracked here. Starts off with your typical denial of vulnerability and steps through rebuilding the system and even chatting with the cracker on IRC. Not as much tech info in this one, but a good read (most of RootPrompt is good reading:).
HAHA! I agree wholeheartedly! I am (currently) japanese-impaired and I would consider most of the dub-lovers I know to be illiterate (havn't read a real piece of literature in the last 9 months). Also, your slogan is all to true: I stopped buying cannabis, only to spend $150+ in one weekend on new DVDs! I think that even drinking would be cheaper than anime (if I was into that)! Pot isn't addictive, but anime is! ^_^
Now that you mention it, I guess the D is really close (or clode;) to the S. ^_^ Leave the dubbed crap to all the poor saps who are too lazy to read (or just suck at it). They won't know what scenes and emotions they are really missing.
Subbed or pure Japanese, no dubbing!!

Lain - My latest addiction!
Recca no Honou - First saw it on the net, can't wait to get more episodes. Very good
Weiss Kreuz - Florists by day, assassin sleuths by night. Have only seen a few episodes, but good enough that I will be getting more.
Ninja Resurection - EXCELLENT if you liked Ninja Scroll. Get the DVD to avoid wasting money on 2 overpriced VHS tapes.
Slayers - Rival/partner sorceresses for hire. Fun; I would like to see the series.
Evangelion - My god!
Gundam X and Gundam Zeta - What can I say? I love big mecha and space combat ^_^ If you have seen the Toonami Gundam, I pity you for suffering some of the worst voice acting ever
Tekkaman Blade - Mecha fighting in space!
Macross Plus - More mecha tearing each other up! I can't get enough of this until some army starts producing this shit and recruits me!
Battleship Nadiseko - Mecha, space, aliens; gee can't figure out why I like this ^_^ Cool movie, but I need to see the series.
Battle Angel - trying to get my hands on this DVD, the preview blows me away.
Akira - List would be incomplete without it, but keep plenty of caffine handy because it is long.
Fist of the North Star - Really good series.
Fushigi Yuugi - Girl I'm seeing keeps telling me to watch it. It's probably good, she had true Japanese Eva years ago!
Super Cat Girl Nuku Nuku - Another recommendation from GF. Supposed to be pretty insane.
Dragon Ball Movies - If you thought the series lived up to its moniker (Drag-On Ball Z) then pick up some movies. I'm talking like movies number 4-13 here. 12 is probably my favorite because it starts with a Tenkaichi Budokai and in no time, it has Goku fighting his coolest opponent yet: Janenba! Movie 13 is also very good; it tells the tale of Brave Warrior Talbion and is also the story of how Trunks gets his sword.
Wow, I guess thats a good start of a list, but there is so much more I know I am forgetting (damn being at work). Now for proper viewing ritual:
1. Prepare green tea.
2. Make rice-balls as tea is brewing (you remembered to get good glucose covered rice, not that uncle ben crap, right?)
3. Put ice and fresh water into bon^H^H^H err, I mean waterpipe...
Agreed: Eva rocks! But whats with recommending dubbed? English voice "actors" are just plain horrible in most dubbed anime. Havn't seen any dubbed since Mononoke Hime in theatres and it was actually good (they did a frame by frame translation). It really doesn't matter though if it's on DVD, as you can choose your prefrence.
Macross Plus is awesome, I enjoyed Slayers but havn't seen the series.
The rest of what I have to say belongs in another post. ^_^
This license really sucks. I first learned to program on a Borland C++ compiler and I have a really hard time finding reasons not to distribute source code with my programs. Is there some kind of legitimate reason for such a restrictive license? Some obsure Australian law maybe?
I am a bit disappointed to see this particular question and a little more so at the replies to it. You are quite correct about the importance of plastics; however, the question puzzles me as I have only taken one high school level chemistry class but I know full well that the vast majority of both plastics and medicines are indeed petrochemicals. Sorry to be somewhat inflamitory, but I thought the average/. reader would find this fact obvious. Not score 3 material IMHO.
Check out the HooAH bars at the bottom of the article!
"These bars -- which have mocha chocolate flavoring with almond butter, almond pieces, currants and vegetable oil -- contain a total of 600 milligrams of caffeine, the equivalent of about six cups of coffee." I'd be ready to hack anything! Who needs sleep?

Exactly! This is the time, RIGHT NOW, to start considering how to deal with the problems that will come with this great new technology. If we start thinking like this, then hopefully we can use this paradigm shifting technology in only the most responsible ways, and maybe have a backup plan to handle possible misuse.
>...but as soon as someone uses linux to wipe his ass for him, it's an amazing technological advancement. maybe because it can do the job without crashing first! goddamn i hate it when my ass is still halfway shit-covered and i need to reboot windows!
Ahhh, yes you are correct. Heh, I read the first 3 when I was in 6th grade (about 8 yrs ago) and I don't think any more were out then. I read the fourth one when it came out, but when the next two arrive, I think I will have to start over! Of course, I have no objection to that (though my schedule might). In fact, I feel like reading The Gunslinger again right now! That's a damn fine book.

I can see where you are coming from, but I really liked the Dark Tower series, especially The Gunslinger. I think those had more action (and gore!) than some of his other work. Kudos to him though, for this little stunt.
Also, please do steer clear of Amazon (still boycotted) and Barnes & Noble to show the little guys in the biz that this can be a viable model for them as well.
I hope the anti-spam law in CO doesn't get overturned. I already have quite a nice lawsuit building at $10/spam * 4-5 spams a day:) Hmmmmmmm wonder if I can sue more if I miss important email because all my space was filled with spam...sueing, it's the American way:(
This is probably true; but for the majority of the population it may be a good idea. I don't think that these are exactly targeted at a common/.er. I know I would never consider doing my network that way! I love knowing about each piece of equipment, and how it's configured in my network, because it's fun for me. My parents, however, are soon moving to Middle_Of_Nowhere Minnesota and as soon (haha) as cable internet is available, they will want it, they will want it safe and easy.
> But yeah, those battles where you barely come out alive are some best, don't you think!
oh, hell yes! I can remember fighting my ass off against anything and everything I could wander to and raising loads of levels, just to get stomped by the current boss character and go play more to get stronger and try it again. Though the battle system is more action-style, Secret of Mana is an excellent example of this: it was a great time running around slaughtering the enemies and when you're confident that you can take the boss on...SMACK! But know there has to be a chest somewhere with a weapon orb you didn't find, or find new armor for the sprite child. It was fun getting killed by the boss, even when I was sure I could kill him, even if I destroy the controller in a fit of rage:) Squaresoft makes great games. I love the Bushido Blades, Einhander, Musashi, FF Tactics and so on, but they've lost me and nearly anyone I know on the FF series because it is less and less of a game. I would love 4 (heck, 2) CDs full of WORLD(s) to explore, not a small world and CG sequences out the yin-yang. Movie sequences are nice complements to a game, but I shouldn't have to change CDs so the next movies will be ready. I spent about 15 minutes on FF7 disc 2 because other than new movies, it was pretty much identical to disc 3.
I'm glad to see they finally decided to stop kidding themselves that FF is a game series anymore and just call it what it has been since FF7: A MOVIE. Don't get me wrong, I love the FF series...up to FF6. FF5 ROCKED (especially once I got a translated version, then even better (aside from slowness) on PSX. FF7 though, it just wasn't a game (for long enough). It was downright annoying (frustrating even) to go through Midgar holding materia without being able to even use it until a bunch of annoying plot devices were out of the way. If your gonna let me hold it, let me fucking use it! It was even worse if you played your ass off (strategy guides are for sissies) to get the coveted Gold Chocobo, because as a reward for being such a hardcore player, they ruin the rest of the game for you! Nothing can stand up to Knights of the Round except the weapons (like Emerald was even hard or fun). WTF is with Sephiroth biting the dust after ONE KotR summon?!? Once you had KotR you could walk through the world fearlessly, so it became a movie. FF8 was worse. Graphics improved and gameplay took a blow. Hell, it had a cool battle system, but what good is that? All it does is make you want to fight all the time and beef up your character until you realize that you are so powerful nothing can challenge you. So again, it turned into a PSX movie. FF7 with 3 discs and FF8 with 4, and FF3(FF6) STILL HAS MORE GAME TO PLAY IN A TINY CARTRIDGE!!
The movie ought to be really good, they've had enough practice on the PSX.
Started off OK, but after 100 abused/overused tech terms and the whole scene with the unattached hard drive and "magic kill switch" they were trying to rig (careful guys, you might bump into the power cable and end the game!) I just left the TV on and went and did my taxes. Let's see a latex-clad Scully vs. "Goddess" in a RailTag match! That would have been worth watching TV for. My TV watching sually consists of Japaneese DBZ tapes, occasionally breaking for the Simpsons, Futurama, Dexter's Lab, Space Ghost, or some other animated goodness. X-Files is the only "live-action" show I even bother with (except Discovery or Animal Planet specials:). I just really wish Gibson's stuff was better on screen. I don't know who is to blame, but his books totally rock any of the onscreen stuff (re: shit) he has been involved with.
Just a thought: is this new development "Eazel" pronounced like the crackhead in Friday? Heh, like Craig says, "You know you aint be catchin' no crackhead!" What a mascot!
I agree, CmdrTaco said nothing in the post, he only (maybe somewhat irresponsibly) posted jd's submission. However, *sarcasm* I think we can blame/. as a DoS instigator, because many times I can't read the good articles as soon as they're posted cause of/. effect;) */sarcasm* Replying to another post commenting on 'doze as a possible DoS tool: I wholeheartedly agree, as I have @home (contrary to others experiences, mine's still kickin @ 300+KBytes/sec after 18 months service) and I recently set an old P166 box up as a gateway so my parents could play on the net with windoze downstairs without touching my machine and gee, I have the ip of every damn system in my state (exageration, duh) in my logs from rejecting all the packets that fly around the @home network from all the idiots and their wintendo-boxes. I wonder what percentage of those systems have even the slightest bit of security implemented. Lots of bandwidth + idiots with brand-spanking-new P-III boxes to run their ICQ or other chat crap (you know that needs in excess of 300K/sec!) can equal trouble.
I wanted to put in a suggestion to Dell that they consider Crusoe laptops running Linux (don't much know the diff between full-on and "Mobile Linux") and guess what? Their feedback site neatly organizes the submission categories, then gives a warning when you go to the product suggestion page to let you know that it is for product suggestions only (wow, really?) then wisks you off to a blank (save for the nav bars on top).asp! What, do I need to run IE to suggest Linux-based products?!
What kind of question is which games do you want to see ported to Linux?! All current games should be ported and all future games should be developed in Linux. I'm a gamer/developer myself so I DO understand that the biggest market is in windoze, but I am SO SICK of it! DirectX is for lazy coders. IMHO any decent hardware has an API and the noname/forWin9X hardware is usually just crap anyway. I can't even play 2 different games reliably for any length of time on the same bootup. Wait, what am I saying? Forget I said games, what I meant is ANY 2 programs.
