Why did Nemesis tank? same reason Firefly got cancelled just when it was starting to get good: Richard Berman!!! hes doing the same thing to the Star Trek franchise that he did to his wife to get her to cancell Firefly, fucking it hard and thuroughly. Send his bosses a message, treat anything with his taint on it (including what his wife touches)like it was covered in leper's piss, avoid like the plague. Maybe after the two of them are begging for dollars off the freeway exit the franchise will start to recover.
I actually side with Clean Flicks on this one, and only for one reason, they arent hiding what they are doing whatsoever. Blockbuster does the same thing almost exactly, however they cover up the fact. You go to rent a movie at blockbuster and you get the "blockbuster rendition" with rape/bloody gore removed or edited out. Do you hear the movie industry bitching about blockbuster? nope. I bitch about it though, the bitches dont tell you that they are censoring thier shit. Place like "cleanflicks" with warning lables its obvious what they are doing, i sure as hell wouldnt rent a movie there, but i support thier right to edit "thier bought item" and rent changed version to informed user base. Frickin blockbuster can burn.
First of all mr. bofh in training there is rarely a need to crash somebodys system intentionally (revenge being the only reason that comes to my mind), any network admin who makes regular practice of this needs to find a new career field or work on his people skills as i have had little trouble getting end users to go with the flow. We protect them from the scary grey box, they do what we say. Second of all putting all files on a server is not for all situations, there are some departments that should be mostly if not entire autonomous in case of network failure (something that you probably initiate from the sound of your post), after all do you really want payroll waiting for the network to come back online after marketing downloaded too much porn.exe.jpg from hotbabewarez.com so they can finish making out all employee checks? HELL NO. Some Departments can keep thier files locally ill just have a long chat with them about leaving thier system on durring the week.
Assuming you have any control over your own system at all and that you are on even a rudimentery network (simple peer to peer even) all you need is a decent tape backup for your system (fill out req form) and a copy of any decent backup software that will come with it. Stay late one night and give share access (password protect of course) from thier drives to your log in (if you cant figure this out then your office really does need a nerd!). Set up a daily backup for the week and dont bother with individual files but merely backup thier save folders (my documents, ect), dont bother backing up their O/S's as thats what install disk are for. Swap out the tapes every morning and hide a memo about what you have set up on your bosses desk somewhere for him to forget about. Congradulations you have just taken on one of the responsibilities of the IT dept. If you have a IT dept (even in another site in the same city) for the company and they just havent set this up then have them fired and i will send you my resume;)
Ill give it a shot. Made my wife chunk her email address and get a new one already over this, might as well see if i can make that web site suffer some too.
My wife recieved an ugly bit of unsolicited email yesterday, our son was sitting with her when she came across it. It was an advertising for a sex site and amidst the text were various pictures including a lady having sex with a dog. Our son had alot of questions when he saw that, questions that i wasnt ready to answer to a 5 year old boy. I checked the properties of the email address, it was sent by jwlhSAM@mail.com. The ip adress was traced (love whois) to a isp in Seol Korea. I sent emails to the address's listed by the ip adress (the senders adress turned out to be fake, SUPRISE!) letting them know my intentions if i didnt stop recieving beastiality pics in my wifes email. Ive given my wife many warnings about using her real email address on the net on ANY website EVER and yet she still is the trusting fool. What the hell do i have to do to keep my son from being shown ladies fucking dogs on the computer? Obviously limiting his web access wasnt enough as we are being sent this crap directly unsolicited. Are there no laws against being sent things like this? Do i get a free ticket to korea to kick the shit outa the guy who did this? Every time this happens free speech starts to lose alot of ground folks. Im a father, im pissed, ill tackle any god damn flame you throw my way over this, and if anybody can find out where the bastard is who did this i will GLADY take this up with him/them directly.
I never thought id say this but taco your insane. I hate spammers just as much as the next sane person but to start charging someone to send email ANYONE! no matter how stupid the use they put it to is opening the door for goverment regulated taxation of email use, and i do believe the goverment would love that. That is a dangerous path your treading Taco. Keep the government out of my email, Keep the dream alive man!.
I (and almost all my freinds) build our own computers from parts, its cheaper, easier than dealing with scumsucking pigbastard computer salesmen, and i know the quality of the finished product is better than anything that i could ever buy from Dell Factory Outlet. Since we do our own software installation censorware would never come into the picture (at least until it becomes part of the O/S). The only thing that worries me about this sort of "feel good legislation" is that it can lead to far worse laws that would annoy me. I dont want to ever have to crack my own personal web browsner or form a fake account everytime i want to check out Naughty nurses.com. Im all for filterware being easily found and installed for those INDIVIDUALS who want it for thier family or buisness. But the day the state/country decides im no longer allowed to view tits on the net is the day i burn my social security card and drivers liscense and go rogue against the system.
"I dont agree with what you say, but ill die before i allow anyone to keep you from saying it"
I too recieved that speech, and it also was muttered under breath, as if it needed to be said (and i believe it did for those who were to hard headed to understand what you might find yourself in the middle of) but could not be said openly. This weapon goes against basic training. That doesnt mean that training needs to be changed, in my opinion the maser is more likely to get me killed than if i were armed with a M16a2 rifle in the middle of combat.
Of course im yet another jarhead expressing his views and what he remembers.
And im sure they pulled the articles without a single argument, hell i wouldnt wanna argue with Darth Vaders boss either. Unless they tried to pass off the information as legitimate (or it was legitimate) i dont believe Darth George has a legal leg to stand on.
Then again IANAL (but you knew that already didnt you?).

Sometimes when things like this happen you just have to run with it. If Carnivore and whatever opensource programs out there are monitering email transmissions for keywords i suggest everyone change thier Sig's to the following:
Hell i like a previous suggestion, lets get all 14 of them crammed into mir first, then lets all vote them off the station one a day for two weeks. The last one to leave gets to actually come back to earth on a shuttle, and not just be blown out of an air lock. Make the contestants convicts (or end users, either way) and you would have my attention at 7pm (9 central) for 14 strait days. As for sending up somebody "unbalanced" to see what he would do? well hell that would be about the same, only the tension would be alot higher as you wait to see what the poor sap does..Does he blow himself out the airlock or mess up the control systems and bring mir crashing down onto new york?
In the late 80's-early 90's with my TSR-80 i was playing a text game called bedlam, and thought it was the greatest. And i was right. In the early 90's to mid 90's i was playing a BBS run game called Major Mud, and thought it was the greatest i had ever seen. And i was right When UO first came out within its first week i started playing that, and thought it was the end all be all of my gaming experience up to that point. And i was right. When Evercrack beta came out and i got on the beta release (before open beta) i KNEW it was the best i had ever seen or played, deffinately the most addictive. Boy was i right. During Asherons Call beta it was much of the same.
Point is txt games have evolved into the games with the pretty colors and great sounds we play online. With any luck 10 years from now you me and everybody who enjoys these games will be playing online games together that make Evercrack and Asherons call look like a monochrome text based MuD.
-Ive been on the computer technology ride for 10 years now, we keep going faster and faster, i hope we dont start slowing in my lifetime.
Having had to take years of abuse in the call ques of the support hell i can honestly say that free warrenties for almost all home PC products should not only be enforced but implimented immidiately. If it were only possible to draw the line between poor pc craftsmanship (and of course microsuck o/s) and end user stupidity then the laying down of the warrenty law could be much more well defined. Of course this may be completely off topic as when i saw the FTC page it looked like a couple dozen pages of Buracracy-Babble to me.

A simple way this could have been far more interesting.
1: sega gives these guys X amount of stock for not messing with thier games any more.
2: Sega then gives them X amount of more stock for picking on Sony/nintendo.
With how sick i am of hearing about mp3 distribution sites losing to music megaindustry in general i think they should gather about $118 million in pennys and air drop them all from half a mile up over the recording studios. Dont think the music industry will ever ask for another cent after that.
Yet despite all the controversy i still to this day have no trouble finding a MP3 or a copy of DeCSS on the internet, glad to see the legal system is as effective as always.
-its not a rule, until somebody breaks it too many times
I think i have finnaly figured out what NASA is up to, a long time ago the indigineous intelligent peoples of mars was bombarding us with meteors, and after 200 million years we are finnaly returning fire with billion dollar satalites and ground survey equipment!
I would give it another 20 years and we will probably start seeing classes devoted too the history of computing/networking/internet et al. It wont be terribly popular at first as old farts like me who are still in college would gain nothing from the class but as a generation from now goes to classes who did not witness what people like you me and others of this board who work and live what we have seen devolope even in the last decade, the next generation will need to be taught. But i hope somebody has paid attention to how it has all formed, or 30 years from now my grandson may be taught in college how some putz named Gore started the internet. -shudder- To sum up, i know that eventually there will be classes covering computer/networking technology growth as a history, i just hope they get their damn facts strait.
