Just stay away from the speculative "fodder-for-thought" style that you've been using lately.
Isn't that the best style for the Slashdot audience? I was under the impression that Slashdot Articles were designed to spark discussion, hence creating a wealth of interesting comments for people to read.
It's all over now, and I'm very pleased with the outcome. I'm making more money now (as a college student even) than 98% of the people in my old home town. As for the people who taught me what hell was like... well, their livelihood now depends on cows. In other words, I won.
Yeah and you're so much better because you earn more money. You're just as bad as the materialistic people who fuel this sick society.
What you should be saying is "They're all fucked up, and probably unhappy, meanwhile I have a bunch of great friends who I love and I'm happy." - if that were indeed true.
they need to actually do something meaningful, they need to "have some fun once in a while", and of course, they need to "get out" more often. What most people don't understand is, I choose programming over "going out" and "getting a life"!
Reading this kind of thing makes me sick.
You never have to choose programming over having a life. I do my fair share of coding and other geeky activities, but - SHOCK HORROR - I have a really great social life and *gasp* have fun!
I submit that the reason why you don't have a "life" is because you're a recluse. Don't use the "I choose to be a geek" line, because you're only deluding yourself. All the greatest coders I know all have social lives. And, let's face it, you're never going to go anywhere unless you can actually interface with people.
If you can't strike a balance in your life then you'll be fucked later on - trust me.
If you have the consent of the owner of the box, you can do what you want.
An analogy:
Friend: I just built this garage, I want to see how much force it can take on the door before it starts to buckle, want to try pushing it for me?
You: Sure. *push*
If you break it, or if you don't, your friend has consented to your actions will full knowledge of the potential consequences, so you're fully in the right.
Besides, it's the responsibility of your friends to notify the authorities if their boxen are hacked, so why would they if they knew it was you?
One thing to be careful of: some ISPs run firewall auditing scripts that check for certain types of packets that look like "hacking tools". For example, a friend of mine is head sysadmin at a largish ISP, and him and I wrote a set of scripts that automatically logs all common trojan packets. (like BO, Sub7, Netbus) So you might not want to be hacking over the net if you're not _sure_ that you're safe.
Although this isn't very transportable, I find that the system for storage space across our network at school works extremely well.
I work mostly with large images, and to copy them to floppies would be a nightmare, and to use zip disks is simply too slow. With our nice, switched, 100mbit network I can store up to a couple of hundred mb, easily enough for, well, anything really.
So, if transportability isn't a concern, then consider giving everyone accounts on a file server somewhere that can be easilly accessed from anywhere on campus. (or simply encourage the use of it, if you've already got it going)
I've been running a Celeron 366 (at 457mhz) for quite some time now, and I haven't felt the upgrade pinch in respect to cpu/mb.
I've only just (in the past 2 years) been able to get myself out of that "fastest is best" mentality. In reality, my current PC can handle everything I want to do and more. (design, code, quake)
Too many people fall into the trap of constant (and unnecessary) upgrades. I can't believe slashdot can call 700mhz "lower end".
actually, you're wrong. More and more people are accessing the internet through ethernet every day...
I'm not wrong, I simply said "many people don't use ethernet to connect to the net." And that stands as truth. The majority of casual net users world wide connect through conventional modems.
Ethernet won't last long, anyway. I'd say about another 5-10 years and it'll be almost extinct. IPv6 will still exist, however, and that's where the problem lies; in using mac addresses to form IP addresses.
Anyway, my point is that using hardware as part of a universal protocol is a stupid idea.
The concern was that the unused part of the ipv6 addresses was being used to carry the ethernet id, hence you can identify any NIC anywhere on the internet. This sounds a bit dodgy to me because many people don't use ethernet to connect to the net.

The fact that you're comparing him to mainstream artists condemns him to my ears.
Fuck - my firewall is a 200mmx - I'm overpowered. ;)
That's exactly what I thought.

God, if you want to kill someone who is in hospital, walk into their room and smother them with a pillow.
Haha, 'De-CSSed', the new verb meaning 'to massively mirror'.
question: "is this fake?"
answer: "better not tell you now."
hehe.
this - enough said.
Simple: everyone had them.

She rocked.
What the hell does this have to do with communism?
Now, THAT is irony.
Now that's a headline I'd like to see. ;)
Slightly off-topic:
Look how huge the font is on that web page! I suppose MTV has to make it work for their audience, the brain dead American youth.
You haven't played Quake much, have you?

I suppose I should just read the old article. ;)
