Well, for the ones that say that spammers has never hurt anyone, I can only say that they haven't tried to have their own email adr as the sender of some spam mail. If the undeliverable error mails doesn't kill you, the 1000s of mad people thinking that you sent it will sure get to you.
Good idea,but that would require a lot of lubrication, ahrm. And I guess that no-one would raise the money needed for what would be nothing more than a complicated pron movie.:)
And then the classic which is always fun,,, on a Friday,,, after a few beers just before going home. I cant ping uranus/i cant see uranus, I cant get into uranus, is uranus running? Storage space on uranus is full. I am booting uranus.
I have been playing it since it came out, and was once in the top 50 of all players, but since I do have a life, it was hard to maintain.(that and the problems with the ranking system causing it to be reset at least once)
No Linux. Right now there is, in my view, a major showstopper and that is the lack of a linux version of the server. Right now you either has to install the full game or obtain a special server version from Westwood. But still on Windows. If they want this to catch on, they really need to port the server to Linux.
Little Information. The information for setting up a server is hard to come by. Granted, this is a new game, but if there is one thing that they should know by now by watching other popular games is that if it must survive they need a good batch of fast access servers available on the net. Making it Windows only and no really helpful information for people who wants to set up a server does not help them. In the real world, game admins does not have unlimited time to figure out how to setup a dedicated server that runs well. When your day is booked full with users screaming, the ones that screams for a c&c server will be but further down the queue because the time needed to satisfy them could(and will) be used to help 4 times as many. There has also been some people running these server claiming that it uses a lot of bandwidth, a lot more than your everyday FPS, but I can't confirm this since the no Linux issue has prevented me from setting up servers for public use. I am sorry but there is no way that we are intalling Windows servers. The game servers many places does, for some reason, not get the attention and money they should so getting the hardware and software is a matter of begging for it, collecting bits and parts And with a non-exising budget the begging credits won't be used for Windows licences:-)
It ain't like 99. But how I wish it were. The times where you still could make money from everything on the web, it was so easy. Ah well those were the times.
It's not when it works you need the books. It's when it doesn't work you'd wish you had the book. I have configured a VPN with the help of a HOW-TO page and it worked. B ut when you want to do larger setup's in the "real" world. All kinds of questions comes and demands comes to mind and it's nice to be on top of things and be able to say from the first meeting, what is possible and what is not.
I have just been playing with IPSec for the last couple of days and wanted to buy a book on the subject. While I managed to sucessfully make a VPN connection between 2 machine, I still need to read a great deal about what's under the hood. So I looked at amazon also thinking that I could not go wrong with a book from O'Reilly, but after looking at the few stars it got I had been looking at this book and the one from RSA. Well, that does it. I'm getting this one.:)

Yes, well if just the folding project did get 1/5 of the cpu power that the Seti does. Right now there's only 39087 active CPU's in the folding project. I am sure that if like 1/5 of the CPU's were on the Folding project, they would achieve great results that faster than the Seti project.
But then again they might run into server problems too.:)
Well, there has been a couple of well known "features" for some time. All you needed was to insert some code on your site and you could see who visited you on the site and who their "Friends" were. on all sites this was only their Messenger name, including the ones on your contact list.
Then there is some hardcoded urls into Messenger that allow certain sites obtain your email adr. and the emails adr. of the people in your contact list. thise sites include microsoft.com, hotmail.com.
Hmm thinking about whipping up an example on my website,, heh could be fun.
We had a fellow that would "watch" orders to and from one of our overseas competitors.
Interesting, So you worked with Echelon in order to do your work? Fascinating, please tell us more.
When you sign up, can you get a webaccess interface or do you get a daily tape with information? I'd really like to know because we have been talking about it here at work to sign up for it also.
Could someone with a Gimp talent make a banner and a button to put on web sites? I think that would be a nice idea, now if we could just figure out a link we could point it to.:)
I have never really liked the idea that SNMP is available on some devices, like routers from the internet. Some ISPs i know install routers with SNMP enables from the internet, they setup a password but if you can bring it down without a password with some sort of overflow then we could get a lot of downtime.
Would it help to restrict the IP's that can connect to SNMP. Some devices supports this. I guess it depends on which level the hole is at.
BTW, did anyone see the beaten up Cisco router (that connects Patty and Selma to the net) with flies buzzing around it the the lastest ep of the Simpsons.:)
I believe, as many other here, that they are doing transparent cache switching, which a lot of people are doing these days. The reason that you can see it, is that they have not configured their proxy and switch the "right" way. A proper cache and switch have functions to do ip spoofing so that it seems that the request is coming from you but it get intercepted by the switch and redirected to the cache. the target will then get your IP but the switch will make sure that the response gets to the cache instead.
So don't be so sure that you can see it if you are behind one. The problem is that you all are talking the application layer here but you will never be able to catch it viewing that.
Since a the switch they will be using can do switching on almost all layers, MAC adr, tcp request right up the top and do switching on urls.
Btw. this is not limited to http. anonymous ftp, and the most common streaming media protocols can be redirected the same way and cached also.
The difference with the streaming protocols is that the host server not always allows it. But if it does then the cache will report back to the streaming server how many clients it has behind it. If it's a live stream, the cache won't cache it but do a spliting of the screen. The host server should be able to view this as they have many connections on their server but low bandwidth usage.
Some of this about is not 100% correct but it would take hours to explain it all. And it's fun to play with.
Yes, it has been done.
And some of the email harvesters have routines that tried to detect fake email pages. But of course if the fake page is not overdone, it might still fool them.
Anyway When making web pages, I like to make people's emails on the page a a small.png file instead of text with no mailto: link. This prevents that these programs can pick it up. But people can't just click on your email adr. to send a mail.
I still say that his picture looks like something you would find in your junk-mail on a page with a lose-9343-pounds-fast product.
All that is missing is a signature and a tagline saying that is is a famous doctor who has tried the product with great success on many patients.

why is this not mod down as troll?
this is normally done i think
Heh, mesa thinks that someone in the company had already downloaded it, i got it with 5 megabytes pr sec. for once I was happy about having our proxy.

Have anyone seen those graveyards for ships where they are taking them apart? Looks like a scene for a post-nuclear-war movie.
I think that there is something on it.
Really!
While on the topic of graphics, one should check out John Carmack's latest
plan.
A interesting read about the ATI8500 vs. GF4.
He also says:"Do not buy a GeForce4-MX for Doom."

Also, isn't Q2 a touch old now? Do people make skins and stuff for Q2 anymore?
:-)
Sure they do, I have been playing Q2 for an hour today wearing nothing but a thong and a small bra, blasting people with my rocked launcher.
I guess I should mention that the clothing I am reffering to IS the Q2 skin.
