This is the first Blizzard game I have boycotted because of the bnetd issue, so so I thought I'd let my opinion be known that I could care less about the expansion. I do, however, still play DiabloII because of my bnetd server with my friends.
If an unauthorized page isn't met with a 404 or 403, you did somehting wrong. You have an incompetent webmaster. The proper way to remove a book from the library isn't to remove the card catalog, it's to remove the book.
It's not hard to crawl a website, such as search engines do all the time. Yet I bet they're not going to sue google which undoubtedly had a cache of the site before it went public (robots allowed, of course).
And if your server is set to list directories, then it's already "serving" away all of it's pretty little files without much prodding (funny, how a server...serves...files).

Why do people ask this EVERY SINGLE TIME someone gets linux to run on some hardware. Can't people just assume that this question is going to be asked? I predicted at least 2 people would "complain" about the "point of it" before I clicked on the link, and so far I'm on par.
What's the point on getting linux to run on anything? Productivity? Games? Graphics? Pursuit of knowledge? I mean, that's why we have open source, right? So people can learn from others on all types of hardware and software. Free flow of information. My own theory is the point is in the journey, not the destination. But that's just me.
Do not order the T1 unless the CSU/DSU (Channel Service Unit / Data Service Unit) is ON YOUR PROPERTY. This usually means you have to buy one, which is usually in the range of $700, give or take a few hundred. I wouldn't trust an off-site CSU/DSU.
At this point, you know for sure that you're getting the 24 channels @ 64k. The only thing you have to worry about now is if the ISP's backbone can support you, which is going to be a problems with EVERYONE at the ISP, not just the T1. For example, I have 1.5mbit DSL. Not the same thing as a T1, but we're both tied into the same aggregation circuit. In that case, do NOT trust the speed test from the ISP's FTP since you are going to get your 1.5mbit from the ISP, that's not an issue. The issue is getting 1.5mbit from an FTP CLOSE to the ISP, within a few hops.
So again, you're gonna get 1.5 to the ISP aggregation circuit. Easy. Getting 1.5 OUT of the ISP is what you're concerned about. Although as soon as you hit the ATM or frame relay cloud it's smooth sailing (or OCx, depending on the ISP).
Or, screw the T1 and get frame relay yourself with the appropriate CIR.
Are you implying that me and my 2 roomates need to have 3 seperate copies of the matrix in order to watch it legally? Ok, put it this way: I made that backup CD for my roomate, it's not mine. I defer ownership to him:)
This has been out for over a year, maybe two. Oddly enough, I was just doing this last night. There's several programs that will do this, in fact there's a program that will do this in one easy step as opposed to SoftEncode...
"This program allows a direct conversion from VOB/AC3 to CD, using BeSweet (freeware) and SurCode DTS (for DTS-CDs : commercial-ware)!! Makes AC3-CDs, DTS-CDs and standard CDDA discs. "
This is way cool. I took my roomate's Dave Matthews DVD, popped it through this program, and out came a burned CD in either DTS-CD, DD5.1, or regular CD. Way cool, and perfectly legal as far as I'm concerned. I'm making a backup and/or transfering the media to a different format.

Better than that, you can burn mini-dvd's on to a CD. There are several programs that will burn the ISO DVD directory structure on to a regular CD. This comes in handy for say, when I took my roomate's NIN DVD in DTS, and extracted the DTS track, and burned that onto a dvd-cd. The DTS track is a perfect 550mb. How cool is that. Also good for burning DD5.1/THX trailers onto a CD to take to the home theater shops to test out their systems. You can get full blown.vob's here:

Ok, so I think this is a big deal, but in the immortal words of George Costanza, "the worlds are colliding!"
I get (or...got?) kpig from where I live, since it's broadcast from Watsonville. It covers most of the Monterey Peninsula and Santa Cruz and a bit towards San Jose and possibly Salinas. The CTO of my ISP has a kpig bumper sticker. I thought we used to host their site, it must be another radio station in town. They're being hosted in Santa Cruz.
KPIG has great music of the country/folk variety with a 90's twist. And in place of real comercials they had hilarious parodies and songs. It was stuff I could listen to, my dad could listen to, and my grandfather could listen to. Pretty impressive. Songs with lyrics like "I thought she's gonna steal my heart, she only stole my double-wide" and "When....exactly....did we...become white trash?"
After 10pm they had the "dirty boogie"; songs you wouldn't want any young virgin ears to hear but they were pretty damn funny/explicit (www.dirtyboogie.com). I belive the station is 107 oink 5, as the DJ's called it.
The point is, it wasn't your average radio station. Many people were upset when they went off the air, and the same thing happened to KAZU, broadcasting from Pacific Grove. They had great eclectic music on there. Now it's just NPR...
It's fairly easy to sidestep a signal, even many signals, regardless of strength.
First, you can change the polarity. horizontal vs. vertical. fixes most problems.
The other option is to switch from direct sequence to frequency hopping. I know it's slightly different, but it's all 802.11. Hell, you could even go 802.11a. There's many options people, you don't need to step on everyone's toes.
*i work at a small isp which is setting up wireless in several cities, it's all good.
And I'm a calculus addict. I've even tried multivariable calculus, offen refered to on the street as "differential" calculus.
It all started in Junior High, when I was introduced to Algebra. I've never felt so high in my life. I was able to figure out what X stood for. It was like reorganizing truth. It was crazy shit.
After awhile, I just couldn't get the same high anymore. I knew what X was without even divinding by both sides. I couldn't get that same high. Then my "teacher" showed my this great shit from some old greek dude called "geometry". Man, that shit fuckin' blew my mind. I could like, create intricate angles, and they all meant something. I could find the length of side C, and I only needed length A and B and the angle between A and B. Crazy shit.
Of course it all spiraled into what I am today. I integrate on the weekends, sometimes before I go to work, but it fucks with my head too much. I've lost many girls and spent a lot of cash on my habit. I have "loans" of over 20 grand to pay off. My name is ferrocene and I'm a math addict.
I agree, I have all of their CD's now. Did you know In Sides has a track that was created using nothing butsolar energy? They had this van equiped with solar panels, etc. They use a Korg Triton and a Mac to make the music (mostly). Good pics of the brothers in concert:
Company makes product which is thought to increase revenue! Seriously, what's the point of this "news".

But that's mostly MS-centric thinking.

Kodak to make picutes more sentimental! Kodak moments to increase!

What Linux (as a community) REALLY needs to do is create a sexy commercial featuring a scantily-clad Britney Spears doing an 'apt-get install' with wild camera angles and dance music. I'm thinking directed by Hype Williams, fish-eyed lens and all. Because we all know that advertising is the only REAL way to increase market share...or something.;) Oh shit! The commercial will also have to feature this guy: http://www.thelinuxpimp.com/
Trust me, no matter how monopolistic M$ will try to be (or is), teenagers will flock to a sexy OS.
Hmmm...so this is a bit off-topic. The point is, new M$ products don't excite me or qualify as news. Unlike a sexy linux/tux commercial. Did I say sexy? 'Cause I meant sexy. As in sex. Sexy.
