  1. IBM on Linux On Another New Architecture: PowerPC 64-bit · · Score: 1

    What value does this have? I don't know of too many systems that use that processor. Was there a demand for it in the community or was IBM just scratching an itch?

  2. Re:openbsd on DARPA to Fund Open Source Security Research · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, most supercomputing enviroments have user accounts and they just excuete the programs that they make, its not like there is much data stored on one, is usually just data to run whatever application that is slotted at the time. Plus most don't have internet access so even if you could gain root access you could fuck stuff up, and that would be easily traceable to you.

    So how are they going to 'upgrade' my Gnapster client?

    YES! lets run our modems at 300kbps and watch at the phone companies equitment fries! then you have no internet access. When you feel like running the fiber cable and copper cable and building your own internet I'm sure you can pay $50/month for a T3 until then shut the fuck up

  5. Re:move it offshore on OpenNaps Targeted; Gnutella "Validated" · · Score: 1

    All they have to do is sue the providers of the bandwidth to Sealand. Then you have a huge datacenter but no internet connection.

    Some record companies do help the artists, most do not. All of the ones in the RIAA don't. If you search back slashdot articales you can find a link to an article about how much an artist really makes from 95% of the record companies. The tours don't help much unless they are huge becuse they have to pay back the 'loan' the company gave them for the tour. Of course the bands get to keep the stuff they buy with the allowence. If they don't sell enough cds to equal the allowence they have to put out another cd to pay off the debt

    man your computer must be shit. I have a microchannel IBM 9585 as my NAT machine on my cable modem and it isn't saturated at all.

  9. Simple Circuit on Fibre Channel For The Masses · · Score: 1

    Ok that looks like a really simple circuit. 60 bucks for something like that is insaine. The parts probably cost him all of $10. Doesn't anyone know of the schematic for a t card?

    I'm just wondering but what censorware sofware does your school use? If they use bess, try going to a geocities site or another free provider.

    Strangely enough I find that I get no spam on my netzero account. Of course that might be because the spammers figure people using netzero are already broke..

    your being paid to do that right? So that's your job. If you just walked into a company and did that for free they would want to give you some reconization for it because they aren't paying you

    @home doesn't seem to do port scans anymore now that I added them to my dropped route list. I currently have www, ftp, telnet, dns, half life servers all running off my cable connection.

  16. Re:Peacefire and censorship on Slashback: Sand, Maps, Antiquities · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering if you read anything about this? It has nothing to do with mail. Nothing at all. The RBL list is being used not just to block e-mail but to block everything being sent to the ips. The routers at the backbone level just drop the packets if they are destined for that place. E-mail just happenes to be the most popular use for the RBL list however the backbone provider isn't just using it for e-mail but for anything that travels through packets

  17. Re:MAPS is necessary on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    So can you give me one example of how Peacefire.org has sent spam out or contributed to the sending of spam?

  18. Re:What MAPS is... on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    So its not censorship if they block people from surfing to peacefire.org because another site hosted by the company is sell spam software? they block it using the BGP router updates. It drops routes to all of the ips on the list

  19. Re:No, this isn't censorship on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    They block Peacefire. That site has nothing to do with spam or spam tools. they blocked the whole class C ip address, that's 255 address because 1 was selling spam software

  20. Re:Idiot on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    no not if you subscribe to the BGP ROUTING updates they DROP the route to the server. that means that nothing can get though, you know like web surfing. If you could read you might of found that out from the editoral

  21. Re:Jamie, get a grip on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    RBL also provides BGP routing updates to routers it turns the blocked hosts into null routes. Therefore no traffic can get to the host weather it is mail or surfing. If you would read the whole editorial you would see that it isn't talking about the filtering of mail but the dropping of routes by a backbone provider. The sites that are being dropped don't even send out spam they just provide software. If someone disagrees with your new program do you want them to censor thousands of users because of it. And the person who also runs their web page company off an ip that is one diffrent from your should suffer too because of you?

  22. Re:vanish? on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    However the backbone provider uses them to filter all access. So they do vanish. Not only does mail get rejected but all connections do because the routers send the packets to a null host

  23. Re:RBL is for Mail-Abuse you Fools!! on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    They have a BGP subscription service where it drops all routes to hosts on thier list. Now this doesn't censor mail but anything coming from that ip. If your local OC-3 backbone provider uses it then you are screwed even if you go with another isp because they probably buy the bandwidth from the same provider. So its not very optional if you are forced to use it.

  24. Re:A compelling argument... on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    If your backbone provider, which is probably 3 or 4 levels removed from you decides to use it you don't have much choice. Even if you ran an isp and you chose not to use it but your backbone provider did without telling anyone you would be screwed as an isp if you wanted to offer uncensored internet access
