It's a shame when no one anymore recognizes the sheer *hack value* of something like this. I think it's very apparent to anyone who reads this that there are certainly more effecient (and definitely quieter) ways to do this. But imagine the conversations this would evoke:
Uhm, why don't you learn some things about IP before saying how stupid things are. Why don't we use 0.0.0.0 all the time? Because the network 192.168.1.0 is different from the network 192.168.1.16. It logically follows the same for a broadcast: 192.168.1.15 is different from 192.168.1.31. Sure, 0.0.0.0 might be a network number... and 255.255.255.255 might be a broadcast, but they don't refer to anything specifically! Your comments are beginning to annoy me.
Are you talking? It may be a little anal, but it's still wrong if it actually falls under the category of violating terms of use. Granted, I'd probably have the same reaction but the bottom line is- think twice before you do something that could even be remotely wrong.
Actually, I believe the copyright on the happy birthday lyrics is long up. Plus, you don't have to pay royalties for performance of a cover song, only for cover song recordings distributed for sale. Just my two nybbles.
Local service is not always billed on a flat rate basis. Only pretty much the baby bells do it this way. Many (read: most) business have third party companies who they get their service from because it works out for long distance in the long run. At my office, we get charged per minute (don't know the exact price) even for local calls (it actually might be like this for some baby bell business plans too). Luckily, my boss is super nice and let's us use the phones and what not.
Uhm, why must everyone think they automatically have all these rights that no one has given them. "Well, erm, let's see here, let me pretend these here, urm, computers here are mine, and I'll run my personal software on these computers that erm, are not, erm, mine. Erm, yea, that, erm, can't be wrong." Grow up and learn some responsibility. Imagine you getting your car (school computers) parked (administered) by a valet (computer admin) who, while you were eating, figured since you weren't using the car, he'd go run a few errands. It doesn't fly. Now, the valet "[...] didn't sign a form promising not to [...]" drive your car while you weren't using it, but I'm sure no one would say that they were happy with the valet taking the car without asking.
A post should be immediately nullified when it recommends buying so much as a paperclip at home depot. There stuff is pure crap. Everything is inferior. They get manufacturers to make things cheaper for them to sell cheaper. I consider them to be worse than Microsoft. No, I'm actually serious.
If you do such things, make sure you have somethign to cap off the tops as they will be quite sharp. Aluminum is one of the worst things to splinter into your hands.
Once again, you're furthering their market share. They should be happy you're developing on their OS especially in the web server market, for instance, because they don't have even a prayer's chance of catching up to free software in that area and some others.
It's not lying when you refuse to tell people information that they're not entitled too. It really depends on how strong you believe in your cause. Microsoft has to sell this thing to something and under their terms, you must tell them who you are in order to use the product. This is part of the compensation for their product. In fact it might even be said that this is compensation for the discount incurred over purchasing such products separately. Or, on the other hand if you believe that you will hold on to your name from Microsoft 'til the grave, you obviously believe in that. If such is the case, then giving falsified information is not lying, it is protecting your reasonable expectation of privacy in your mind. To reiterate, if you believe that Microsoft is not entitled to such information, you're not lying. Would you consider putting "NULL" in every field to be lying? You didn't lie. You merely declined comment. And I know the next question is what about an e-mail to register to for login. Go to Hushmail where you can get an email adddress in the form of autoxxxxx@hushmail.com (xxxxx being a number) generated with you giving no binding information. There are ways to remain relatively anonymous if you really feel the need to do so. Just be creative.
Stop whining. If you have to give information, give the information of the owner of the MSDN subscription. If you still don't want to do that, give fake information. Typical case of hypocrytical Microsoft whining. If you choose to develop for them, you pay the price. And don't tell me you don't have a choice. There's always a choice. Unless you believe in something to your death it's not worth believing in, is it? Let me stop now, I almost feel pity.

It's quite unethical for a company to even ask money for any sort of development tool for their own system. "Hey, give us n dollars and help increase our hold on the market and largen our monopoly. Oh, and give us extra if you want this feature. Oh and some more for this." At the very least, Microsoft should give away Visual Studio as every product developed through it must be run on Windows machines. Many SDK's and what not are already free. If I was doing active development on Windows outside of work, there would be no way in the world I'd pay the Microsoft tax. And another thing that ticks me off is "per-processor" licensing schema. But that's another topic entirely.

My telocity has been great too, yet the other day (Friday 10AM) verizon broke something (a trunk) and didnt "fix" it 'til Sunday morning. I say "fix" because Tuesday night, when Telocity does the normally transparent network reset, 25% of the customers in the Northeast (all Verizon) didn't come back up. Wednesday it was reset manually by a really nice girl who knew something and had a cute voice. Thursday, I actually had to tell them exactly what to do so they didn't go trying to figure out why I was down again. Many DSL problems can't be blamed on the provider, Phone companies suck.
Simple reason why they're totally different: I can passively resist commercials by just ignoring them. I have to actively resist spam by deleting mail, opting out, setting up filters, etc.
Let's say I have a 684Kb/s DSL line and I pay it monthly. This means that (taking into account overhead) roughly 68KB/s of bandwidth. Per 1K, a spammer should have to pay me 1/68th of a second worth of bandwidth, electricity, hardware depreciation, etc, plus money to every single router and line owner along the way. While it seems like only a little money, the price would add up quickly. It wouldn't take much changing to Cisco IOS to setup some sort of calculation for this (it's just separating spam from non spam) as protocols like IGRP, EIGRP, and OSPF use bandwidth as a metric so figuring out cost per K or packet or frame or whatever the case may be wouldn't be hard. Needless to say, this will never happen at least not anytime soon and at least not with legislation. Spammers infringe on MY First Ammendment rights therefore they should have to relinquish theirs.
Maybe it's easier to see things before the revolution and total flood of a certain status quo or what not. Or maybe I'm totally wrong, maybe the statement was meant to be completely crazy just movie talk. Excellent movie nonetheless.
Also, if you think that any old "live recording" from [insert favorite cd store here] will sound like you're there, you're dead wrong. The sound is tuned for a particular venue from a particular spot (the soundboard). It is not tuned for listening at your home. While soundboard recordings may be crsp, they no where capture the ambience that an audience recording can. One of the best recordings of live music I've ever heard is probably of Phish from their New Years Eve show (1999 - 2000). It was recorded with 2 Neumann U89 (Neumann makes some of the best mics around) microphones split 12 feet into an Apogee AD1000 analog to digital converter into I believe a Tascam DA-P1. The only way to truly match a live environment is with a microphoned source. Or there ubiquitous matrix recording with microphones and soundboard (delayed ever so slightly to account for the lag of the microphones). When it's done right, it sounds great. But even then, you have to be reasonable. Pretty much any live venue you go to isn't using Monster Cable (TM) or any other of the cable du jour. They use no name twisted pair cable, copper, much similar to what goes into that 100' orange extension cord you just bought. Get the idea?
Can you go to a clue store and buy one? Please? Stop whining. The chances are, you won't ever use this or see it in use. The main points are a) the hack value and b) your friend's a retard. It doesn't take a genius to setup an ethernet connection. It's one thing not to be able to set one up, thats perfectly fine. But to say someone who is "very capable in setting up and tweaking his DSL setup" obviously does not refer to one's knowledge of an operating system.
Get your water really cold with ice and then get a PCB etchant heater from Mouser. They're a good price and will heat up to 100F I believe. Which, also, happens to be the temp you'll need if you ever decide to do color processing (which coincidentally, isnt as hard as you may think). Also, check out photo.net which is a community for photography.

The concept is simple... But it's just that... a concept. It took many many years of work of the U.S.'s greatest scientists (and imported ones) to build a working reactor. Am I supposed to take it at face that someone who can't even pass a state given math test was building a reactor? We've all seen such tests, and we all know that even the hardest of "state mandated" tests rarely go beyond second year high school algebra type things (logs, conics, etc.), and mostly stay in the realm of basic geometry. Even with this in mind, failing such tests would mean him lacking not only the knowledge for the more difficult part of the test but the easier parts too! Yet, he was able to understand nuclear chemistry topics? Sorry, not buying it.
I can't believe I'm actually gonna reply to this but... C is going to magically disappear after being around for over 30 years? I don't think so. There still is no valid replacement for C for the niche it occupies. Java is a joke- that's the bottom line. Maybe when a Java run time machine can run Java at a speed that doesn't feel like me going over a remote X connection, then I'll use it. But for now, Java is still much of a joke and while C may not be appropriate for everything, it beats Java at the vast majority of things it does.
