Since the Winklevoss twins were interested in purchasing it first. Zuckerberg swooped in and bought it solo with the quickness before the Winklevoss' knew what hit them...
ah good to know. Course single player would probably be boring if it's a player run economy there's not much 1 person can do noone to sell too or buy from.
will be interesting to see how it grows and what npc content will be put in, if any.
From reading Notch's twitter, reddit and forum posts. He's looking to create his version of Eve Online, course he mentioned Eve on the forum but he wanted a bigger sandbox whereas users could build similar to freedom to build in minecraft. But with a different spin on things.
the built in 16 bit cpu description on the 0x10c website is very interesting.
course he mentions a monthly fee for this one, so it won't be a 1 timer like minecraft, but definitely something to keep eyes on. Just hope he FINISHES it, and doesn't do like Minecraft where he writes half of it, gets bored and quits to move on to some other project.
We'd use early tools similar to John the Ripper to "decrypt" the password file and we'd post the username/password on newsgroups
AOL also supplied a 1-800 dialup number for those without local dialup access but they charged you more per hour onto your account, so you didn't rack up a phone bill but AOL would bill you per hour or minute at the time.
But ftp'ing into AOL nodes, grabbing the passwd file and decrypting most of the simple passwords with john the ripper you could then use the 1800 dialup as essentially free internet access.
That happened a ton, I remember I felt guilty myself, but I used it when I had lost my job and that net addiction kicked in:)
I could have simply been caught if they traced the phone number, but I was just lucky nothing ever happened
of course
discussions are always better when you are with like minded people that share same views as you. That's why those become friends
that's why we have preference and I hang out in RL with like minded people who share similar views, it's what makes friendships close, to even companies, clubs, etc.
that's why I miss the old forums of 10+ years ago, views had different sections and you didn't have to enter a forum of people that didn't share your views cause it would just be flamed out of it.
so people with one view went to x forum and people with another view went to y forum and so on and so forth. and discussions were respected, intelligent and flame wars were few and far between.
until political correctness started entering the net
My first was a TRS-80
but then I was given a Tandy 1000 EX, it had 256K ram, one 5 1/4" floppy drive that was loud as hell. There was this one game that to this day I have no idea how it was done, but was the game Chuck Yeager's Flight Simulator, when I'd insert that floppy and run the exe, the floppy drive would grind in sync with the loading music.
never seen that before hehe
I remember using compuserve and prodigy, but then I wanted full internet ppp and I stopped using the 2 services. I was using a dialup shell account at my local college was a unix shell nicknamed "Grits" so students talked about their "grits" accounts.
MCI Worldcomm sent out fliers about PPP dialup internet and I hopped on it, but that lasted 1 month since they had no local phone numbers so I would dialup using their 1-800 dial up number. At end of month I got a bill from MCI for $800
I was glad when they went out of business and that bill disappeared
If you were in southern Georgia during those times you may have heard of the "Green Lantern BBS" I was a heavy user of it and the door games, and used fidonet a few times.
I am also a ham radio operator, so I still get to play around with the slow stuff on Packet Radio over 2 meter band.. usually APRS but sometimes for fun we'll send files back and forth over 9600 baud packet radio:P
at least ya didn't pull out a plum...
but yea don't really give a fuck how you give a fuck heh
course everyone is free to believe and raise their children how they wish imo.
problem is political correct retards want to try and force people to think a certain way or redefine words to mean something else or butt into parenting..
I'm definitely anti-gay, anti political correct, anti-zionist (thats the zionist movement and agenda not jews themself) and Ive raised my son and daugther that way also, but they were also raised to respect others and if they don't like people or a person then to just ignore them.
ignoring a group is a whole lot simpler than the alternatives... Course trolling is also fun on occasion but it serves no purpose other than lulz at any given time.
so a joke for the lulz and an ignore for the movement:)
100% correct
I'd say though I am anti-gay, but I don't give a shit what gays do in their personal life.
I don't agree with it and wouldn't want it around me
but otherwise they can get mud on their helmet all they want.
IF you have a jailbroken device, just install 'Installous' "appstore" from cydia
and the app is still available on Installous course you dont have to pay for any apps on installous:)
To get installous open Cydia and add a new source, then add the http://cydia.hackulo.us/ repository.
then you can download installous appstore which has all apps on the normal store, except they are now all free.
also installous keeps all apps even if they are removed by apple from the main appstore they will always be available on installous for jailbroken users.
was a 75 mhz, 8 meg ram, had a 4x cdrom (hence the cd supreme)
it came with windows 3.11 on it and used trumpet winsock to get online.
I formatted it and installed Slackware Linux I got from a CD inside a book at "Waldenbooks" store I had bought on linux.
I think it was somewhere around 2.0.20 - 2.0.29 era linux kernel.
Anyhow slackware on a 75mhz/8 meg ram was much much more fun and easier getting online than dealing with win 3.11 and trumpet winsock.
I was shocked that slackware recognized the on board modem and the cdrom since the cdrom in that thing connected to a funky riser card.
100% spot on!
I did the same about 6 years ago, I cut cable and never looked back I also run XBMC with icefilms plugin and have 12mb dsl with newsgroup access and I have a demonoid account and instead of a DVR I use a feature in uTorrent called RSS Downloader.
I give utorrent a list of movies and tv shows I want and it automatically downloads them weekly for me, stores them on an shared external usb hard drive which my XBMC box can see so with so many shows saved in my uTorrent RSS Downloader I get new tv shows daily all commercial free zero spam!
spam free tv is the only way to watch anymore!
"Angry Video Game Nerd" James Rolfe has already had a web series called "Board James" for couple years now. And trust me it's way more entertaining than any bullshit Wheaton will put out.
But I use TOR and I have a colocated server in the states that I use to browse the web using SSH forwarding...
I use Putty with tcp forwarding turned on in putty then on firefox i tell it manual proxy set to localhost and port I set putty to, then ssh into my colo server in the states which is really fast and browse anywhere unfiltered.
For everything else I use Tor with manually added exit nodes
on my colo I also installed rapidleech, rutorrent web front end to rtorrrent and setup password protection on them, so I can torrent and direct download from my colo here in china with no blocks/filters/problems:)
course if ever caught they'd probably cut my head off or something
This is just another example of why piracy is best choice.
I used to work for Directv satellite and we had printouts of the percentage of commercials on every channel, with ESPN coming in as the highest rate of commercials topping just over 80% commercials to around 20% content ratio. These were all part of "talking points" for corporate and VIP customers mainly.
I personally got fed up with spam tv, We don't like spam in our inbox, we don't like junkmail at our home mailbox. So why should we put up with spam everywhere?
Around 1998 I had had enough with spam and cut pay tv all together and went 100% pirate. Since 1998 I started with newsgroups and was working at an ISP that had an employees only FTP server filled with tons of movies and tv shows.
Then went with torrents and still using newsgroups
I got an older laptop I installed XBMC on it, I installed the http://icefilms.info/ plugin on it, as well as few other plugins which is what I use now.
1998 - 2012 so far I have enjoyed spam free television/movies. There is no way in hell I would ever go back to anything with commercials...Noone should put up with spam tv anymore, the only way to stop it is for everyone to "block" it and remove themself from the spam. As companies see this occurring they will have to change their entire market strategy or I would hope so.
That's what I do
I have 4 facebook accounts, 1 for family, 1 for work, and 2 random leftovers for comment/trolling/anonymous comments/etc on other pages
never have just 1 account... it's idiocy.
I've had 4 for 3 years now and never had problem
