Look at the graphics featured in the previous yopy article here: http://www.gmate.co.kr/english/beta.tgz, and compare them to the graphics from this site:
You'll notice that EVERYTHING is mirrored perfectly. Looking at these graphics, I'd say that Heretic is being displayed backwards due to some development weirdness, rather than any kind any kind of foul play - most likely, the pictures where modified so that heretic would be displayed properly for all of us readers.
I'd be willing to bet that the guy who posted these caps actually plays in front of the mirror.
"I know I could use a spare machine as a firewall and run Linux's IP masquerading. My only spare machine, however, is an old 486dx2-66 with an NE2000 ethernet card. Not exactly a speed demon, and speed is exactly why I got a cable modem."
Actually, you're underestimating the power of your 486 (or overestimating the demands of firewalling.)
I built a IP Masqueradeing / Socks / firewalling machine for my company, to support our T1. At the time we had only a Microsoft IIS box, which only proxied HTTP and FTP connections (ug).
Well, anyway, the thing was based on an old K5-100, with 24MB of ram in 72 pin SIMMs (probably not even fast page stuff.)
Even this weekling of a box could masquerade 170+ kilobytes per second of traffic, at about 3% cpu utilization, and it still managed to run inside of memory (in CLI mode - forget X.)
Throwing 5 copies of TCPDump on top of that still didn't slow things down significantly, though some memory holes did cause a problem (have you ever tried running your shell out of virtual memory? Dont.):-\
As far as latency, 1ms or less was added. Nothing noticeable.
Anyway, I highly recommend some form of NAT for the security conscious. The number of back holes and attacks this will stop is pretty darned impressive, and 2.2.x's QOS abilities are highly recommended even to those not in search of safety.
On a final note: I built my proxy so for pleasure... A few months later it was being used by every one in the company... Who says games are a waste of time? *GRIN*
...what is the feasibility of installing, and using, a SSH client on one of these palmtops (either the iPaq, or the Yopy)?
It would seem an excellent way to maintain communication with your server, while on the road: use the Compaq Proliant paging functionality to page you, and then fix whatever went wrong using your palmtop.
I can't see the stylus pen being the best input device, but it should do in a pinch... What about connectivity?
Yeah I saw it... Lucky bastard. BTW: Where you out in Las Vegas for Defcon? If so... Damnit I should have kicked your butt IRL when I had the chance;-)
As I addressed in another post, human rights are nothing but a term for a standoff of power.
To a monopoly, what are your rights?
'You have the right to buy our product. Anything you do or say can be sold to advertising interests. You have the right to work so that you may buy more. If you cannot work, and do not have money, you can rot for all we care.'
The US government was designed to fight such monopolistic interests (mainly monarchies). It is run by so many people, with so many conflicting views, who rely on the votes of so many citizens that these basic defenses against tyranny are hard to defeat.
You have the right to live so that others may live. You have the right to own and keep possessions so that others may have these same rights.
"Rights" only exist where one has power. Kings have more rights than peons. Priests have more rights than followers.
You have the right to live because some government protects you. Without this government, your "right" is nothing but a plea for mercy in the face of a gunmen.
Where where black rights 200 years ago? Women's rights? They had to fight for the privilege to vote, and the privilege to think for themselves - white men didn't simply hand these rights over, and many still wont (Witness: No black or female presidents, and the church is still fighting female pastures.)
What about gay rights? The blind?
Rights are nothing but an excuse to persecute other species, when it is morally wrong.
Let me begin this by saying I have a certain amount of respect for you, and anyone else who has actually killed there own food. One of my largest gripes about the meat industry is that people eat the remains of other animals, yet they cannot even stomach the most painless and caring mercy killing - They may eat the head cheese of another but cannot even brake the neck of a mortally wounded chicken.
Now, here's where we differ: I simply do not agree that animals "are not rational beings and do not have rights". For one thing, it's inaccurate: If you kick your dog, the SPCA will nail you. Your dog does have some rights, however limited they may be...
It seems that many people overlook the natural intelligence of other creatures; my dog is intelligent. He learned about mouse traps when we used them to arm our couch. He soon began checking: If there where mouse traps he'd stay away - forget them and he'd be laying up there behind your back.
When we catch our dog on the couch, he knows instantly that he's in trouble. He pleads, and he tries to make it up to you, and yet he's also ready for the inevitable whap on the back.
He's also sneaky, and will crawl over there behind your back when he knows you aren't paying attention.
But even greater than my dog, remember that scientists managed to teach a gorilla sign language. She expressed love, sadness, and anger just as any human would.
No, animals most certainly are rational in their own ways.
Now, what remains to these arguments other than the survival of the fittest? (Baring various religious ramblings.)
"The survival of the fittest, and we've got the fucking gun!" "I don't give a shit about you".
Humankind is most certainly the fittest of any earthly creature. Our communication, technology, and intellect allow us to admirably compensate for our rather limited physical abilities... Masters of our genetic heritage, that's for sure. We've overcome many trials, including those of a past when kitties weren't so small and had a tendency of gnawing on our heads.
We've caused a lot of harm with our abilities: species are being eradicated, forests burned... We fight amongst our self's, and then form mobs when we feel we are threatened. If a fox picks off one of our precious cattle we will eliminate all foxes. If another human "murders" one of our friends we hunt him down...
But basing your arguments on survival of the fittest leaves some interesting questions... Is it my right as the fittest to kidnap, rape and impregnate your daughters as I will. Can kill you and steal your possessions, or murder hundreds of others with bombs, guns, or traps? Armed am I not more fit than you, and do I not have the ability and right to do so under that logic?
These "Rights" you talk about never have been given, only taken. We create police forces not out of the caring for the safety of others, but so that we may keep others from hurting us... We took land from the native Americans to build our refuge from "British oppression".
And you know what?
To ad agencies all around the world you are nothing but cattle: they don't give a shit so long as you hold no power over them. The same goes for Microsoft and other such monopolies because, even though they continue their abuse us, people will be forced use their products. To them you are human livestock. The only thing that stands in their way is the US government...
And frankly, I find it sickening that a person would complain about Chinese human right's violations over a succulent stake dinner.
The fact of the matter is that a great deal of hypocrisy exists regarding "rights". We demand rights from those more fit than us, yet we are not willing to give them to those creatures who are weaker.
Imagine if our governments weren't keeping corporations somewhat in check... Imagine if these governments weren't there at all.
What then? Your rights would be directly related the amount of firepower you wield. The unarmed would be but cattle to those better off.
And so long as nothing was there to stop them, it would be their "right".
Now, I take a different view regarding these dietary habits... You have the right to eat what you please... I also feel that other people have the right to eat you.
But until the day comes when people ARE willing to give our fellow biological life forms the rights we demand for ourselves, it will remain a world of 'Do unto others... Then run.'
Sorry, I really hammered that post into the dirt...
Here we go again:
I dunno... It's always nice that the end users have fat pipes, but you can't don't forget guys like me, who shell out a lot of cash to put up servers. Currently, I'm co-located at a local ISP, tycho.net. I've got a full 42U rack, 8 Amps of UPS/Generator protected power, and a 10mbps switched Ethernet segment. Of the 10Mbps, I can use 640K 24/7, and burst to full speed for about 65 minutes a day (Yes, the 950 Kilobyte per second downloads rule:-).
Unfortunately, all that comes at a price: $750 a month (And I don't bring in $100K a year.)
Now chew on this this: for $50 a month, a DSL user who is close to their telco switch could easily suck my 640 dry, and I cant combat it in kind- I need the low latencies unavailable with sDSL, and the upstream bandwidth unavailable to aDSL. Even worse, someone using a work computer could pull the entire 10 megs, searching for movies, or dealing with files.
Because of this, I'm forced to setup 30 Kilobyte per second bandwidth limits on each user. It will only get worse when everyone installs DSL (Note that I'm not worried about the cable modem users - self limiting;-).
Now, the flip side to this coin is that when fibre finally reaches the common household, greater connectivity will be reduced in price, though it still won't be as simple as the 56K days. This doesn't mean of course, that I will not appreciate DSL when it's finally installed at my house, but it does make things more interesting.
Oh, I still have 30U of space left, if someone wants to put up a box:-]
