Sooo tacky to self-post... I forgot something else that duct tape can do! It can change a high-density disk to a low-density one. Oops. Please forgive me.:<
Um. Putting the duct tape over the little hole makes the floppy *WRITABLE*.
Copy-protected floppies are ones that used unusual formatting tricks (partition's just a *BIT* too large... bad sectors that screw with XCOPY... etc, etc) to prevent *READING* the floppy and *WRITING* it to another one.
Credit card companies spend money in advertising to SELL THEIR PRODUCTS, it is not a nice gift to the friends on Discovery Networks.... you don't buy advertisement with them, you don't sell.... you want to sell, you buy advertisement where it will be seen (e.g. Discovery)....
Surely you understand that there are other television channels? Pulling their ads from Discovery hurts the CCcos far less than it hurts Discovery.
Wait what... There was a hacked copy (that you disconnected from the internet to run) floating around my dorm shortly after the HL2 release. Where the hell were you then?;)
Also, the only time you have to connect to the web to play the Steam single player games is during the initial download or activation phase. If you ever "lose" your internet connection you can restart Steam. It'll sit for a few minutes while it looks for the Steam servers. After that times out, it'll say "HAI! Would you LIKE TO PLAY IN OFFLINE MODE?!?!? (CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM ANYMORE! halp!)" You tell it to run in offline mode, and Viola! (The musical instrument, natch.) Single player mode w/out an internet connection!
I would be *really* impressed if Valve would allow me to transfer one of my purchased games to one of my friends. As it stands now, I've gotta give them my whole account if I wanna give them any games in it. : /
<wild_speculation> However, there are some folks who use their laptops in environments that *KILL* HDDs with moving parts. For these people, they'd go through a regular harddrive long before they wore out an SSD.
Also, it's possible that some folks (think olde grannys what shut the PC off when they're done but play solitaire three times a day) would have an SSD that outlasted any mechanical drive.
There's some code here http://rdnssd.linkfanel.net/ that claims to enable RDNSS support for Linux. I'll tinker with it this weekend and see if I can get it to work.
Ah, right. I've seen this once before. It *is* a good lecture. I'mma gonna head off to bed shortly, but I'll re-watch it tomorrow and have a reply to your question. : D Lemmy see if I can recall the big point that he made... Wasn't he saying things like "If you just wanna pop on the network to print, you don't need a globally routeable address... you just wanna find the damn printer and print."? When we combine link-level addressing with stuff like ZeroConf, doesn't that allow us to just find the damn printer and print? : D
Weeeeeeeel, let's see... There used to be (and probably still are) *some* apps that haven't worked in with NAT... SIP is a glaring example. AIM file transfer didn't used to work behind a NAT.
So... with a firewall, you just have to punch a hole to make it work. With a NAT (in some cases), you *can't* make it work.
Let me put it this way, me and my buddies here in Silicon Valley could easy drop many thousands (hundreds of thousands if we do it as a group) on political races in Alabama, selecting candidates that represent our views, trying to make behave the way we want (pro-choice, etc.)
Dear god, PLEASE do this! Have you ever *lived* in Alabama? Even California's communist sensibilities are immeasurably better than what passes for rational thinking in Montgomery!
You say this... However, there are stations in *my* local area that spend 1/8th of their air time on commercials. They do the "fifteen minutes of commercials after an hour and 45 minutes of music" format. Granted, these *are* "back-catalog" stations. I don't think that I heard anything new from them in the five or six times that I've listened to them in the past year.
It never caught on cause it sucks! Seriously, Light Cycle racing is the best thing about that game. Why? Cause I can force guests who come over to play a couple of rounds, watch their tortured screams and groans, and know that nothing else that I do for the rest of the night will be as bad as that.
I'm not trolling. I picked up a copy for the xbox, played it, and have a *low* opinion of the game.

Useless.
If you sue more people, more people will become lawyers.
Greedy bastards go where the money is, see?
The Blue Security model was-and still is-the ONLY anti-spam technology that was effective.
Pardon? How was it effective?
( the fact they felt the need for a GUI setting that turns it off system wide says a lot about how messed up it is )
Can you tell me why there is a GUI setting to disable DEP?

I take it that the "double ring" is actually two separate rings, worn on adjacent fingers?

HL2 is... different than HL1.
I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I did HL1... but then again, perhaps no longer being a fifteen-year-old has changed my perceptions?

Yes.

Also, why do *you* think that requiring an admin to setup an DHCP6 server to pass DNS (and other) information to clients is dumb?
(FTR, I think it's kinda dumb, too.)
Ah. Boo, you're right. It's an Experimental RFC.
There's some code here
http://rdnssd.linkfanel.net/
that claims to enable RDNSS support for Linux. I'll tinker with it this weekend and see if I can get it to work.
I suppose that I'll also enable DHCP6, too. ugh.
Ah, right. I've seen this once before. It *is* a good lecture.

Anyway. More tomorrow. Thanks for the link!
But, seriously... Why are you running services that require a firewall? Don't they do their own connection management?
What's wrong... NAT got your tongue? ;D
Weeeeeeeel, let's see... There used to be (and probably still are) *some* apps that haven't worked in with NAT... SIP is a glaring example. AIM file transfer didn't used to work behind a NAT.
So... with a firewall, you just have to punch a hole to make it work. With a NAT (in some cases), you *can't* make it work.
Untrue!
Use radvd.
Then, dump something like this into your radvd.conf:
interface eth0
{
prefix 2001:a:b:c::/64 { };
#DNS Server
RDNSS 2001:a:b:c::5568 {
AdvRDNSSPreference 9;
};
#Router
RDNSS 2001:a:b:c:: {
AdvRDNSSPreference 5;
};
#Localhost
RDNSS 0::1 {
AdvRDNSSPreference 2;
};
};
And there you go!
IPv6 full autodiscovery!
Ask Google about RDNSS for more detailed information!
