Isn't there a command to power down an NT box? If so replace the "start+http://sdgawld'woih`~~~whateverblahblahblah " with that command.
orrr... (I think even I may not be evil enough to do this):
http://ADDRESS/scripts/root.exe?+/c+start+http://g oatse.cx
I run apache on win32 (I don't like that, either. I wanted to run linux, but my family needs to use this box, too) and I saw another message that mentioned a good response to the code red worm (http://INFESTED SERVER'S ADDY/scripts/root.exe?+/c+start+http://www.digital island.com/codered/) and I was wondering if there was a way to make my instance of apache automatically send out this request. Now I know that if had linux running here, I'd just write a quick shell script to do the dirty work, but that's simply not an option. And as long as I'm asking questions here, wouldn't there be some better page to send them to, or perhaps a script command to knock the worm out? (although that could potentially be troublesome since it might have to delte some of their stuff and crash their machines)
I just invented a new drinking game: the code red log hunt.
You sit at your computer late at night (preferably with a few others around, if you have anyone to share the night with) and enter the addresses filling your logs as they come. If it's the generic IIS "this page isn't here" or "under construction" or other such nonsense, no drink. But if you get a real site, SLAM ONE DOWN!
this is too much fun. I hope I have enough booze for the next few hours.
I agree that they should "crack down on IIS use" but I'm not so sure I trust them to do so properly. I have a feeling they'd just put a ban on all home web servers. I know I certainly don't want to pay for the kind of storage I use when I have plenty of bandwidth to serve the paltry number of hits I generate (mostly images and vid clips and prank calls I share with a friends through email and web boards - nothing blatantly illegal or widespread)
my roadrunner service has been slow and unstable for over a week now. But I only started receiving code red hits on aug 1st according to my logs. It's weird though... I would expect slowdown across the board - that is, affecting all services and slowing down data throughput, but it looks like my primary problem is an extremely slow dns resolution. Oddly enough, I still get full speed transfers after that. I think I'm going to do some reading and just start serving my own dns
I think this moderator system is broken or something. I got some points and drop down boxes but appparently don't have any way to submit potential moderations. I would have dropped a point. I though it was pretty funny, too.
"Hate crimes : I think they are on the statue to make people feel safer, not to serve as a deterrent. "
Is it just me, or does that make absolutely no sense? I mean, if not serving as a deterrent, how would the people be any safer? I suppose you could stress the term 'feel' but that still strikes me as utterly ridiculous, because the only ones who will ever 'feel' safer are the poor SOB's whoare unwilling to educate themselves (afterall, is it not education that is the keystone to self governization?)
It seems like every time I've ever followed a link to that site, the majority of comments blamed capitalism for the the world's ills. Until the state subsidizes access to leftist paranoia, I don't think k5 will be able to float on a subscription based system. They'll be alienating the selfish ideals of all those cooped up commie kids that read it. =D
for anyone lucky enough to be holding RMBS options in early 2000, the words fortune and rambus could not be separated. waging a chevy metro on their name at that time could have netted you a bmw m5.
of course, I think they're scum for what they tried to do to the industry. But they sure did make a lot of people a lot of money.
it's a straight up napster clone, but it'll also let search for movies and pictures and stuff. And it's pretty cheesy in that it's apparently just an IE plugin, but it works. I wish they would have made their own interface (and abandoned the terrible napster layout) but hey, I can't complain too much. I usually find what I'm looking for with it.
athlons do run quite warm, but I've never seen my gig rig run a core temp over 59C. The case temp on a warm day with heavy usage will sometimes get up to about 38C
(those temperatures in fahrenheit 138 and 100, respectively.)
I would be honestly surprised if the G4 cube ran much cooler than that.
if you're going to take a chef TV, I'd say it should either Martin Yan or Jeff Smith (although he might be retired or dead. I haven't seen the frugal gourmet is years).
Personally, though, I think it would be a lot better if they got someone from an actual restaurant as they do in the Japanese show. Someone that we've probably not heard of, but who is top in their field.
My own grandfather was forced to flee his homeland at the age of 10, alone, to sail the seas for 6 years before landing in a strange land where he knew nobody, had nobody to rely on, and didn't speak the language - for what reason? His life. Had he not, he would have been forced into the front lines of the ottoman army by age 12 with nothing more than the clothes on his back a broomstick to fend of riflemen and machinegunners.
my argument is not to trivialize the lives of people in those situations. It is very tragic that such stories exist, and we need not forget the darker sides of how we got to be where we are today. History is the very essence of a people.
my argument, rather, was that tradgedies occur all aroudn the world, and that imperialistic nations are quite keen at generating them. The lesson is not to dwell on the pain caused by some person's ancestors, but to instead look at what allowed the tradgedies to occur and prevent them from happening. Perhaps if we, as a species, become less isolational, we won't see as much nationalistic brutality in periods of imperialism due to a more homogenized gene pool. Or, if we look at imperial systems and see that tend to be much more violent than parliamentary systems, we can stop the brutal regimes from gaining power before they spill anybody's blood. The japanese weren't "evil." That's every bit as revisionist as saying the nazis didn't exterminate jews, just on the opposite end of the spectrum. The japanese were a people in a failing traditionalist state being swept up by the second period of globalization. They happened to have quite a large army and no shortage of despotic leaders in a time of great flux. Any nation could do the same.
as for the comment on natural selection, I don't think you quite understood what I meant. The idea is that empires grow. But they often run into groups of people not associated with their own race. In their growth, they need to consume and absorb other peoples, and raping and pillaging is one of the faster means to that end. It's not pleasent, and it is quite immoral. I'm not saying I think people should do it, but I'm also not saying it's unexpected OR unprecedented.
and I also find it humorous how quickly people are to resort to threats of physical violence when their views are challenged. Doubly so when such a high level of anonymity present in online forums is introduced. In short, if you met me IRL, you would have been MUCH more polite, for many reasons. Now if you have anything meaningful to add, go right ahead. else, don't waste my time, sonny.
When spreading out the borders of an empire, it will be within prudence to blur the lines of nationality, and let's be frank, opposing nations are rarely willing to simply accept new blood into their hegemonies. I'd be willing to bet that everyone in the world can find a similar event in their family histories. It's not pleasant, but there's little in the process of natural selection that is.
in true sega style, a lack of good games killed the dreamcast. It's a really nice piece of hardware, but I've only found a handful of games worth playing in the 4 1/2 months I've had mine.
(in case you're wondering: tony hawk, sega gt, and virtua tennis. I'm still looking for a good rpg like the oldschool final fantasy games and good multiplayer games and perhaps a good fighting game.)
nintendo is very well known for doing that. They almost killed sega early on, holding the SMS far behind in software and really managed to prevent the genesis from taking off as quickly as it could have.
I'd much rather see them one these: the big brute
powered by a chevy 350 or 400 cid v8. with a 1:1 high gear and a 2.4 final drive, these suckers can break 200 for sure. AND that's one of the most badass engines ever. The sheer sound of a small block with headers and an exhaust that short will have any potential enemy needing a change of pants.
as I understand it, Aimster is a program that allows for trading of mp3's over the aim network, hence the name. There could probably even be reasonable grounds for napster to sue. (now that would be hilarious to see. They might actually *win* a lawsuit)
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under
robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at
some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the
approval of their own conscience."
-- C. S. Lewis
I'm a college student who recently decided against continuing a major in computer science, primarily because the code bases I've worked with have been so horribly designed that they're beyond repair. The way I see it, we've (Americans, that is. I know much of the world is quite different) become quite fixated on the miracle of computers. But very few people ever actually learn how they work or how they can be properly and efficiently integrated into our lives. So we then get bad designs from hardware and software vendors who realize that there's a large number of people unwilling to make the investment in knowledge necessary to choose the good from the bad, and will buy anything they see on a billboard, on the television, and (decreasingly) in magazines for entirely superficial reasons. Had they known better they could have avoided the junk or at least returned it for a refund, economically deselecting the implemenators of inferior technology from the economic gene pool.
In explaining such issues to friends not familiar with the industry, I'll often draw parallels to similar situations. With this one, I'd say the computer craze is now at the point the car craze was in the late 1960's. Hobbyists are still common but on their way out. More and more people want the physical ideas of the technology eschewed for its practical purposes. Perhaps this economic turn is analogous to the oil crisis. (and quite similar. I've heard that at least some of is due to the californian legislator and power companies scratching each others back to create the energy crisis out here. Personally, it wouldn't surprise me, since I feel absolutely no trust toward the motives of either group)
my guess by the size of the modem (somewhat small) is that it's a soft modem. The software running for the HSP that came with my last premade machine would often crash after 10-20 minutes of use, after which the machine needed to reboot. (needless to say, it wasn't long before I got a real modem and eventually broadband cable)
