The Crush Server on exhibition in London is finally up and running. Watch out for the action on 12 September 2002 (1900HRS GMT)! Basically what happens is that the webserver counts itself down to its fiery end when it will activate an industrial crusher to terminate its existance. You can have a look at the action as the countdown occurs LIVE on camera. Visit the Crush webserver at 195.195.81.5!
We're offering Counter-Strike server hosting to clans and also webhosting services. Over the past few weeks we've been ironing out some issues to make it simple for users to access their accounts and manage their e-mail. We'll continue to work on this and pile on more features as we stumble on more interesting tools and programs we can install:)
Please note however that these features will abuptly cease to function on Sept. 12 at 19:00 Zulu, when the server is *ahem* counter-struck.
Comes from War Dialing - dialing every phone number in a block in an attempt to find modems. This was typically done in order to find a weak point in an organization. War Driving is a similar art.
Yes, a friend of mine brought up that argument also. But when is the last time you heard of a water pipe causing a flood? Perhaps washing over a street yes, but a flood seems like it would take much more water than a 14 inch main would spit out. Definitely can't be that common to cause a flood in this manner.
Did a double take here... anyone else catch the problem with this paragraph (from day 3)?
Accidental damage to wires and cables by backhoes or other equipment during street work remains one of the most common reasons for floods, power outages and communication disruptions to this day
Backhoes cause floods? By cutting cables and wires? And this is common? They're wrong, aren't they? AREN'T THEY? I think we might be in trouble... See it for yourself near the bottom of http://news.com.com/2009-1001-954796.html
Nail their upstream with pings... really big ones, down the pipe as fast as you can, right into the closest provider from them (their gateway on the other side). Then use (guess what) MRTG to meter the bandwidth. Reason for doing it this way is that almost any method that rates a download will come out on the conservative side because of network overhead, and you get to measure both upstream and downstream at once. Just play nice about how you this, massive ping floods can be taken the wrong way!
I guess you could say that I accelerated into slashdot with my Mega-Cool low User ID, and yes, hanging around here that long might have a lasting impact on my brain functionality. Duh! Oh well, at least you got in within the first 200000 users!
Despite which you only recently started posting comments - as indicated by the fact that you only have 84 down, and 24 of those were in 3 months. To maintain that rate, you've been on less than a year. Based on those 24 comments I could go back and read, the damage must have gotten worse over time - you at least had the sense to keep quiet before.
Sure, my UID is not the lowest, but at the least I've made an effort to contribute in a positive manner along with my smart-ass remarks.
Yeah... let's just hit stuff with lighting... THAT works well.
Tesla coils (haha, funny joke) were groundbreaking because they managed to place electricity in a usable form that didn't require a wire. Blowing wind across a room doesn't count either - you'd need a generator to convert it then. BTW Joe... exactly what is it that you accelerated into? It appears to have had an impact on your logic. (yeah, a pun, no kidding)
Depending on the situation. However, your argument is, at least in this case, flawed. Take for example toilet paper bough through Amway (or cars, or television sets... you can get just about anything through them, even soap:). Make enough toilet paper to meet your demand and have 2 weeks more. Then do a daily run to build back to two weeks. Any fluctuations in the market will stand to.
MLMs are regular businesses, but instead of paying the store employees of various levels, they pay the people in the order above the purchaser (up to X levels) on an inverse scale. Same profit as the store down the street, but different expenses and different payroll. The difference between an MLM and a pyramid scheme is that a pyramid scheme you pass the buck up and the leftovers get screwed after it falls apart. No profit is ever really made. An MLM has a tangible product or a service upon which money is made.
A couple of quotes: Ok, kernel updates to add funcionality but do fix and break things yeah. Anyone remember IBCS(or is it ICBS) dropped support from 6.2 to 7. and For the record I am linux certified, a+, net+, and a MCSA. Who gives a shit. I am a tech, certs are part of the job. Did I mention my degree in IS?... proof that certifications mean shit, even as told by him. When did the Linux kernel ever come to be 6.2? Shit, I thought I was just behind the bleeding edge with my 2.4 series machines.
And yeah, Win2k is definitely deep secure. Sure... if you ever get the knowledge to really rip it apart. 98 isn't worth talking about.
Flaimbait? Hell yeah. But hey... So while I am not a complete technical diety or claim to be I do feel comfortable enough to talk on the subject.... you said it.
Don't bother responding to this message, I don't care. I'm just in asshole mode today.:D
Amway comes across wrong because the people who market it (are part of it) are the same type of people who are Linux zealots, but without the technical background. Amway isn't earth-shattering, but it does work. The reason so many people fail is they aren't capable of talking with large numbers of people consecutively.
Disclaimer: I am not enrolled in Amway, or anything like it. My reason is based on my goals in life, and not any problem with the organization.
Yes, there is. Install a huge amount of RAM. Linux will figure it out and cache whatever it can...

Ah, I was indeed at the height of their shoulders - but about ten feet to their right. The lockup was a result of the terrain I think. Or just dumb luck. Only time it's ever happened to me. Still not close to hitting anyone, except maybe myself.
Hey, it's/., and I want to share anything remotely near-topic. So here's my experience (non-gaming though):
I bike a lot. The only people I know who spend more time on a bicycle than me are competitive races (I can't afford to do it). I bike at a high enough speed to sometimes pass people in cars. Anyhow, I was biking home from work one evening. There were two people on the sidewalk in front of me. I couldn't cut into the street, traffic was a bit heavy. I didn't want to have to stop if there was another way, so I swung to the right onto the grass. Problem was there was a tree in front of me. It looked like I could go right under it, but I couldn't see the lower branches because there were no leaves on them. As I got closer I realized that would hurt like hell. So I pressed on my breaks. Well, soon as I apply just a small bit of pressure, the front tire locks up hard. I take off - a good 5 and a half feet high and about 15-20 feet forward; right at the shoulder height of the two people on the sidewalk who were quite curious for the first few seconds as to why a person was flying through the air. I landed sprawled out, face down. And I layed there thinking "Hey, that was awesome! It kinda hurt, but damn was it fun!" The catch behind it was that I was able to sit here and think all of this, spend a few more seconds (as I percieved it - this whole account had to have finished within about a second from the time I hit the ground) laying on the ground, and still reach up and grab my bike out of mid-air with one hand before it pegged me in the back of the head. Not the same as being in the "gaming zone" really, or even the same you experience in an athletic event, but my mind had to be going WAY faster than normal to realize what was going on before I injured myself.
Before anyone says anything about how I shouldn't be on the sidewalks, I am an experienced bicyclist that knows how to handle the thing. I've never come close to hitting anyone, and frankly the drivers in my city aren't always nice to people on bikes. And a note to pedestrians: when you see somebody on a bike coming towards you fast - don't try to avoid it! I get people all the time who think they can help themselves by moving. But that's like driving unpredictably in a car. All they end up doing is going to one side, then trying to go to another leaving me confused and slamming hard on the brakes to avoid them. Anyhow...
A cost that should have been paid in the first place then. This man did not cause that cost - he simply brough to attention a flaw that was under-appreciated and expensive to fix.
Mr. Puffer (?) should never have been charged with this crime. The suits at the courthouse are mad because their fancy new wireless network they built to keep up the with the times wasn't taken care of properly and possibly isn't suitable for them. How it cost them $5k to "clean it up" is beyond me. Of course it costs more money to do it right - but how do you expect to claim that as "cleanup?"
The person charged was not acting maliciously, did not cause any damage (what is claimed is bogus), and his actions were willfully disclosed in good faith. He got the raw deal...
No, you wouldn't. Go find a 15000 RPM drive. Plug in just the power cable, and give it some juice. Once it's spun up, unplug it, and then start moving it around. I'll tell you, it's very interesting to have a hard drive fighting you. The same effect would happen when you started moving your laptop. And of course, giving that thing a hit when it's spinning would ruin your day.
And I was waiting for that one after I hit send... Actually, I find I do quite well in English, but rather poorly in restraint when the chance for a smart-ass remark is at hand. I forgot to bother to revise. But then again, "doing good at something" is common enough a term in the US...

But the point behind this I think is that people in IT rarely experience a moment of user-initiated action that doesn't consist of the said user COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW IT'S BROKEN! Therefore, we become happiest when we don't have to talk with anyone.

And yes, you can run many instances of UML.
OK, can we start modding these as redundant now? They're no longer funny... It's like this:
step 1) Write topic of article sarcasticly
step 2) put in ??? (more like wait 5 minutes)
step 3) KARMA! (now excellent 'cause 50 don't happen anymore)
