I came across a NIC with faulty offloading. It was at a customer's site, and it took a month to diagnose.
The only way I found out was with an Ethereal trace at each end - I could see that every 0x2000 bytes there was a corruption. We turned TCP segment offloading off, and it worked fine because the maximum packet size was 1536 bytes - before 0x2000.
The Netcraft toolbar isn't quite as badly flawed, but it is still flawed.
I found out that having a web site with a 3 second refresh (it was a camera pointing to the back of my house that I was using because someone stole the wheels from my car), I was able to get my website into the 7th top-most position. This was a server that I was the only person going to.
Then, they found out, and removed the server. It's still black-listed on their searches (you can't get any information from it). Somewhere, I've got a screenshot of the Netcraft site which shows there was no 7th place site (it goes 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10...).
I can see Mensa having some really interesting CAPTCHAs:)
"A train leaves...."
"It takes 3 men 4 hours to...."
I've actually had to implement a (graphical) captcha on our company's support site because someone was trying to sell stuff once a day (I think they thought it was a blog, with public comments). It wasn't terribly difficult to do, and stopped it dead.
I had 802.11b up until 2 weeks ago, when I decided I wanted faster rates. Due to my normal store's stock levels, I got a D-Link DWL-G650M, and a NetGear WPN802 access point (I've already got a perfectly good OpenBSD firewall/router for my ASDL line, so I don't need another router). While I'm getting 108Mbps, I haven't noticed any range increase (it seems to be about the same as it was for the back of my house). I'm not worried about incompatibility with the final specs, since it works/now/ - and I haven't had to wait until 2008.
I've ported one of my games which I'd written with the SDL, but I wouldn't say it's for the general public yet:
- I had to take the unit apart to get one of the speakers working (and solder it back on). - The memory card supplied with it didn't work properly - The headphone socket doesn't appear to work at all - The joystick's very dicky. - The build quality isn't the highest. - There's a slight lack of coherence between the applications. - The top buttons are too easy to press accidentally.
Apart from that, not too bad. Price should be a bit lower with more sales.
I did that - the two that I said were bogus were because the domain names weren't the same as the originating organisation's domain name (which was a sensible move).
The opening page acts in different ways when you press the button - although I had to restart the browser for it to change (refresh didn't seem to cut it).
An old-style 10p piece would land on the opposite side from where it started about 90% of the time, if it was caught in the hand, rather than dropped on the floor.
I won a large number of coin tosses based on that fact:)

It might be ignored as we (in the UK) don't spell "legitimize" with a "z" - it's legitimise here :)
This was years ago - one of the first thing the game did was ask you what your name was.
If you entered "colt forty five", then the mouse pointer would turn into a target, and you could shoot the characters on the screen when you clicked.
The same thing happened if you typed in "uzi nine mm" - except you could hold the mouse down for more action.
As expected, no-one noticed.
I did this back in 1998, transcoding HTML into both simplified HTML, and also WML 1.0.
However, like you, it was a lot of work to do this.

They might have changed the toolbar by now...
As in the '60s British series - they had lights that pulsed over peoples faces to make them do/forget things...
I encode all my emails using WingDings font, so absolutely no-one can read them :) I can't do that in plain text!
Cold again, with a distinct lack of atmosphere.

Oh - it's meant to be less than zero.
So what would happen if the kernel was released under LGPL? Proprietary modules should be allowed with that...
(acknowledging such comments may cause personal discomfort)

Yes, Bob.
Oooh - I think it's worth 3 dupes at least!
Sorry, that should be 2002, not 1992.
:)
I must remember which decade we are in
I said this in 1992:
7 00 920
It is possible that such an exploit exists.

BBC BASIC performs the silent assignment, but Spectrum/ZX8* probably does not (I was a BBC person, not a Sinclar chappie).

I'd imagine that you could stick it to transparency sheets and scan both sides...
I wonder if it can be put to work on that "Baked Bean" jigsaw puzzle that I saw a few years ago...
As an aside, does anyone know how many pieces there are in a cubic foot of multi-shredded paper? I'd imagine millions...
