Yeah, we had an Altiris imaging server get hacked over the X-Mas break one year. Damn server had massive hard drives to hold all those PC images. They uploaded all their music and were starting on their movies when they filled up the RAID array. We found a hidden FTP service running an exe out of a hidden folder. The created and used a sub directory in the recycle bin, (it was a windoze server) to store their illegal files. I took a brief look around to see what had been uploaded and it was basically your normal list of musicians and some pretty nasty movies. Of course, the 50 CD anthology of everything Elvis ever did was kind of cool. I did the right thing, threw away everything, wiped the array, rebuilt the server, changed it's IP address got the router guru to help me a bit on the software firewall and we put in some rules to allow/deny access to that box. Lots of fun, aaahhh the good old days.
Cant resist, must stop typing,... Ok, why don't we just put up orbiting stations that broadcast the signal back towards the earth? Then you don't have to lay down all those extra lines. This would give us the added benefit of not broadcasting our signals into space and the aliens won't know we are here. Then we are free to consider our own navels till the sun goes red and eats the planet.
2 things, Yes, I am almost always going for funny. The main reason I am here is to have a laugh. What the heck were we even talking about. Some poster thinks they are a troll but don't like it when they get modded down?
Yeah but the earth will call it back home one day. The moon is only allowed to get so far then it hits that "dont get out of the yard" barrier and has to come back.
Yeah man, cool. I was lucky enough to see one of the last night time launches from Melbourne Beach. You could read a newspaper by the light from that shuttle and we were like what 20-30 miles away? Wait let me go all Google Earth it and get some reasonable #s about the mileage before the pedants jump on me. 40-45 miles away, Ok? We crossed the causeway down in Vero and headed North till we got to one of the more remote public beaches. Don't remember exactly which one. Smuggled our brewskies over the dunes, using the walkway, then settled in for the launch. They broadcast the NASA talk across a local radio station down there so we tuned in out little handheld radio. Everyone else had them too. You did not need any help to know when they lit the fire under that bastard cause I swear you could feel the heat. The beach lit up like an instant dawn and you could see the shuttle slowly climb towards the scanty night time clouds. They were the wispy kind that are more of a haze. The kind you would never notice unless the moon passed behind them. When that shuttle penetrated that layer of clouds they turned all pinkish and yellow from the exhaust. Needless to say, this lit up the sky even more and everyone just kind of went Wow. I still get teary eyed thinking about that night and all the money we waste on other crap like wars and incredibly full bank accounts for a select few. We should be out in space by now. I mean we got to leave eventually, why not now?
Yep, you're right about the capitalism thingy. There is a problem with capitalism. You cant sustain it without basically enslaving everyone except a select few at the top. By enslave I am referring to the dollar.
Yep, hard to say which one would be better? Short career with your abilities giving out in your early 30s and not much to show for a life's work or you could choose football. I did spend a bit of time at good old U of H. Thought it was a good school. Please take these comments in the spirit that they are meant. Just poking fun here. I am not a physicist but I used to work for a bunch of em.
Thanks, will do. Oh, BTW, totally kidding about setting up a reactor. Just interested in the science and like to read about various things. Had to post that in case the feds are watching. Now let me go straighten up my Viscious Attack Dog Rehabilitaion Center sign and make sure the electric fence is operating properly.
I agree. Maybe we should post a new article on/. Call it, oooh I dont know maybe something like, Are there any good discussion sites out there? Post them here and let's discuss their pros and cons.
Just give them your mother's maiden name and your SSN and get it over with. Might as well just have your paycheck auto-deposited into their accounts. That's what they really want. Please someone tell me this Facebook is a fad. Maybe between Facebook outright selling your privacy and the hackers stealing your identity the faceless masses of people using this thing will get burned enough to run off somewhere else. It's time to seriously setup the next Facebook for the sheeple, then get anonymous to attack the existing Facebook and steal everyone's info. Then when the sheeple respond with the inevitable knee-jerk reaction and leave Facebook, they'll only be looking for the next shiny/shiny to play with. So if you had FaceBook II setup and raring to go, instant net millionaires we will be. Who's with me? Any decent web coding monkeys out there?
Thanks for the info, I had no idea about the EDU history. Explains the name.:)
So what about Twitter? Anyone? I still think your a twit if you tweet.;)
Cant be any worse than all the other trash on the net. I mean really, go turn off the safe search filter and browse around Google images. Just don't do it at work unless you're in charge of the firewall.
Ok, someone please tell me that this whole Facebook thing is a fad. Please. I'm beggin here.
So, by it's own name facebook is all about your own face. That makes it totally Narcissistic. Twitter is all about tweeting your bits of info to as many people as possible, Root word here being twit?
So, put them together and your a narcissistic twit if you use these services? Not really trolling here, trying to get a feel for what others here think about Facebook and Twitter.

Oh AND OR Jerry Pournelle.

Yeah baby, I got 4 flats hooked up to a Quadro card. Screen size is 20 inches by 50 inches.

Everyone called them causeways when I was there.

Funny, Judgement Day coming and all you think is a new movie in the Terminator series. Love it, I would have thought the same.

Yeah but since you call people idiots all the time I will boycott those sites.
I meant monkey in a good way. There are good monkeys, I swear.
Troll much?

All we really need to do is seed the place with algae. Give the DNA another chance.
So, knowing our luck as a species the asteroid will probably impact the caldera.
