Ok, people. One person has made a DoS attack against UnderNet. Many people are walking away from it because of this. I say screw that! IRC is our turf. It's not the turf of some lame-brained little punk who wants to screw with us. I'm not saying that we SHOULD screw with him, but.... Hmmm, I wonder what thousands of people could do to a single user during one day?/.ed
LOL, that's real cool. Just what I would like... I LOVE the AOL chatrooms so much. FOR ME TO POOP ON. The AOL/Yahoo chatrooms are out there for a reason. For the the newbies who can't use the real internet. The IRC chatrooms are there for people like most of us who would like at least a semblence of control over their #channel. If there's some jerk-off posting porn links to my scripting channel, or some asshole who's posting links to farmsex.com in my Quake2 channel, then I want to have the ability to boot the fuckers. I want to remove their voice so they can't talk. I want to be able to limit the number of users. I don't want to have to stand idly by in the channel #video_games_45 while people spam it. Screw that. I want power.
See, there are a LOT of interesting postings here. I went through and read about 75% of them. Some are worthless, but some have some merit. I realize that DOS attacks against the DoS'ers are rather hipocritical. DoS attacks are illegal also. But you know what? This is OUR community. These kiddies are screwing with it and making us move out. Most of us out here are on 56k's and such. However, can you imagine what 250,000 56k users could do to a server over a few hours time? hehe, I'd leave my computer logged in for a few hours with the command "ping -t -w 1" while I go watch a few movies or something. A lot of people are saying to post the kid's IP here. Who HAS the IP? We've got THOUSANDS of readers who read/. every day. Someone, do some digging and find this dude's IP address./. effected.
Not too many people know that the current GPS systems DO allow better resolution. Up to a few millimeters. I know this for a fact because I use GPS a lot here in the Marine Corps. You do however need a code to input into your GPS receiver. If you don't have the code, then there is a forced error put into the transmission. That's why civilian receivers don't get past 20meter accuracy.
