actually i tried it on XP and 98se, both same bomb, but by looking at the streamer 'dos' box, it looks like it's getting crap for station names. actually more of un ciphered kanji text.. anyone who actually gets this working re to this.
you know it kinda loks like the forst 100+ lines of a CUCME server room list...which annoys me there too (but doesn't crash)
- Hey I gave you a nickle, give me my 3 cents back!
My point is, that XP can be used as a user level OS. (my wife uses mine at that level) but in either OS, odds are, to install you need admin.
Yes, some programs don't run in user mode if you lock it down too tight, but same as Linux. what I am saying is, a nwbie or John Public doesn't have time or patients to figure out what permissions are required to get his copy of said app to run. Hell, I get pissed at Linux some times just because I have to log in and out so damn much to test a new install and not actually run it as root.
I disagree that you absolutely have to run XP as admin, but it's sure alot easier. and anyone who has had that experience won't give it up for a little extra security. after all, the smart neighbor kid is just down the lane.
This mind set is what is causing this epedemic to come. If everyone had an admin over their personal boxes, siting around all day locking crap down it would be easier, but it won't happen.
Doesn't matter, as a whole, we are moving to a 'computer' mono-culture. Every app is being ported to everything, hell, my palm runs gameboy, and has a simple dos prompt. with all of linux's efforts it's only a matter of time someone writes a virii designed to abuse all the windows compatibility software (read:wine), or codes a hybrid.
eventually no one will care which OS we run, like now, in the handheld market, we don't care which Processor we run. we have ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SH, and X86.
It will come down to speed, and at thaat time, everything will talk to each other and virii won't care. it's the future.
As for permissions, how many newbies will actually run a linux box on a sub user? hell, every XP box I see is run in admin mode. no newbie cares what a particular person or app needs access to... they want plug and play, which means no logging in or out to install crap.
So there.
- Hey I gave you a nickel, give me my 3 cents back!
Personally I'm picky about my hardware. Some of it, just look up stats on-line, no problem. things like mobo's and chips are usually fine if bought NEW from anyone. I recomend you talk to them a bit first, call back, if you get treated like a number, or shrugged off, then expect that on tech support.
Warrantys are useless if you don't do your homework first. I have mobos that I cant get replaced because , even coming DOA, the company was pretty much unavailible for the first 30 days. Busy lines, closed, crappy east coast hours for us west coast buyers, etc. call their tech support and ask em a qustion or atleast see how long it takes to get through.
but then again, I even find myself getting stuff locally. the prices may not be all that hot, but atleast I can go and plop the dead guts down on a physical desk and not a UPS shipping office.
one point is that maybee you didn't know anyone could get into your garden. or that you were even sharing it at all. Ive seen machines (win) with server software accidentally turned on, or poor file sharing techniques (press enter if you do not want a password). how can they hold you responsible? it doesn't sound like they care. at any rate, port scanning is not generally acceptable.
Personally I'm not stupid enough to re-share anything I find on the net. And if they find anything on my machine they don't like, how the hell do they know I didn't import it with Windows Media Player off my own CD? I think this is a risky bit of false accusing on sony and the others part.
The system then patrols the entire Internet, including the major file-sharing networks,...
What services do they use? Are they hacking into my local area network? this only implies that some of the services they scan includes major file-sharing networks, leaving open port scanning which I do recal a bunch of people getting nabbed for a while back. MY ISP will kill me in a heartbeat if I scan, so why not have these companies nabbedd for invasion of privacy?
Not really, they hae an embeded version of the movie, but it's not feasable to release it to the public.
It would confuse the viewers and they wouldn't be able to all their AV equipment (read:thx,AC3,etc..) with individual releases.
Besides the "jar jar" module would commonly be removed, but would cause episode 2 to crash and episode 1 to just not make sense.
Besides, even though someone HAS proven this release is possible, you would be only hiding charicters behind other charicters but they would still be there.
I'd have to erase my incompatible versions of episode 4-6 (on VHS) and forget about them for anything to make sense.
I used a MS keyboard for years, nice, I guess, but all it did was screw me up when I went to other keyboards.
now all I use is a Virtually Indestructible Keyboard I got at radioshack. It works and I don't have to worry about toting it to lan parties or even spiling a soda on it. Convenience over Ergo for me
pockets be damned, this is another way for microsoft to get richer(est?).
They almost have "packages" of products now, leaving out the coolest "modules" to make 'home editions'. This will only prove to split the product into a million peices that are only compatible with each other if we all buy the total(read server) 'package'. now they have an excuse to do more than home/pro/server and a plus pack into basic/simple/anal-retentive/home/business/pro/gami ng/normal user/server/plus pack.
not only that, but the current high bidder has a spoofed rating. 8 identical ratings from the same guy, cmon.
he's bid on the top 3 machines now, and he's ruining the auction.
You may notice that the one who's bidding over a thousand is an AOL account with 8 references from an equally obscure account.
he's either wealthy or stupid if he's really bidding, since he's bid on the top 3 systems for sale.
as for the "...By now, since ads are inserted automatically into each tv show, you can point and click on whatever you want and you immediately buy it"
If you use an ATI All-in-wonder card, watch MTV a bit. a little icon in the upper right appears, you click on it and your web browser pops up, and voila! your at Warner records ready to buy the CD!
this technology is here, we just don't know where to look.

Nice to hear your actually thinking about a project like that

okay so, make a compatible open source one that doesn't suck...p2p gnutella esqe gamespy like.
I'm no coder, but from the sounds of it you are...so do something about it.
They Do...
....bla bla blah
From TOS
bla bla... loss caused by a computer or electronic virus, loss of income or

thats my 2 cents.
it may not be a tar archive, but if your intrested in raw html, this is as close as it gets: http://slashdot.org/palm/
works well with Avantgo too
and 10% would reply..."sun? no they are blue and grey."
or even "whats that? never seen it, doesn't exist"
no prob, but howmany "innocent" people will do this activly... your lucky to get everyone off windows 3.1.
it's not a matter of blocking them anyway, it's more a matter of them searching at all. doesn't this open up some privacy infringement doors?

not to mention they get yoou kicked off your ISP for "distributing" the file they retreived from you

The lawyers failed us and created a monster.
I'll be hiding under my rock now.
so until this blows over, everyone watch the commercials and fast forward through the shows.

That'll give em some data to munch over
I personally love this game, Great strategy, and really not too many people have played it to the extent they have starcraft.
Or for the Classic approach, try Go-Moku.
that game is good enough, that you can learn it quick, but take a lifetime to master it.
I looked at their media section and found the ananova refences to be true:

cmon, hanven't any of you taken apart your keyboard to find two-three layers of plastic with little contact traces(flexible mind you) inside.
the whole controller on a keyboard is no bigger than the one in this picture.
the last layer seems to be a PC board, and I know alot of you have cells with simmilar or smaller electronics.
Personally I don't think it's too far-fetched.
not only that, but the current high bidder has a spoofed rating. 8 identical ratings from the same guy, cmon.
he's bid on the top 3 machines now, and he's ruining the auction.
