You have to modify the code if you want to run it on a standard Ethernet network. Its a very simple modification, all you have to do is change "enet1" to "enet0" where they specify the interface to set promiscious mode on, and recompile it.
Um, yeah, and the encryption is undone at the card. You can set the card in promiscious mode, and you can sniff the network. Its as simple as that. Check out www.etherpeg.org for more info, and source on how to do it.
No you don't. There is a very simple way to sniff switched networks as long as there aren't any routers in between you and the traffic you are trying to sniff. You just send a couple forged packets spoofing the MAC address of the machine you are trying to sniff. Then the switch will send you their packets as well.
The reason why the Orange was run out of business was because the company that was making them was some fly-by-night Taiwanese comapany that used the exact same motherboard and ROMs.
I have an absolutely perfect example of a non zero-sum game that is popular. I'm suprised no one commented on it so far. And if they did, and I missed it I apologize. And now for my stunning revelation. Super Mario Bros! Esp. on two player mode in Super Mario 3.
Except that the technology and experienced personel required to properly produce a professional quality product are getting cheaper every day.
This quote summarizes a general misconception that many people in the high tech field have. The technology, not to mention the trained personnel, to make really good quality recordings is still incredibly expensive. Learning how to correctly place mics, rig up sound proof booths, mix down and process the recordings, etc. takes a lot of time and money, and is an art that is quickly dying.
Sure you could get by with an 8 track reel-to-reel and and old Mackie analog 8 track mixing board, but why would you want to? The cost of having the state of the art acoustics-simulating recording studios, with 32 track 24-bit 96KHz digital samplers and mixers is way more than what any home recording effort could afford. Even the indie labels and really only afford the middle of the road when it comes to this.
This, as I see it, is really the only good argument for keeping the record labels around. However, I do agree that the labels have been getting way too greedy and need to be shown their place. Possibly (dare I say it) even socializing them.
First of all, let me state that I am only playing devils advocate here. Now with that out of the way...
Here is the problem with your logic. If you own the physical media of something you buy, that would naturally extend to hard drives, MO drives, CD-RW drives, etc. Then, by your logic, it would be completely legal to download a shareware version of a game and, since I can do anything I want with the physical media (except giving it away to someone else without the permission of the copyright holder), use a debugger or serials list to crack it and play the full version. This would fall under your broad interpretation of fair use.
Do you think we would have as much diverse and great music that we have today if everything were given away? I really don't think that many musicians would spend the years developing their skill if there was no "making it"
Well, considering that the vast majority of the money that bands make is from touring and not from CD sales, I'd say yeah a lot of bands would still be making a lot of money and still be making music. The only people who lose from the new setup is the saps who work for the recording industry.
Then again, I'm sure you can buy i386 cpus *real* cheap nowadays. Does some company still make them, as I would guess Intel doesn't.
Umm, i386 just means any Intel architechure chip that includes the 386 enhancements. So in other words, anything from the 386 and on. So yes, Intel still makes i386 chips.

Really, the only thing you need all the processor power for is the Classic emulator. You can run it fine on a PowerPC 8500 hacked up to allow it to install, as long as you are running only native apps.
I thought I heard somewhere that patents in the high tech world lasted a lot shorter than patents anywhere else, like 18 months kind of short. I may be wrong though.
we need a ban on software patents
You don't patent software, you copyright it. You patent algorithms, but since copyrights last so much longer, and the software is essentially the same as the algorithm, most companies just copyright it. This is what we need to stop. We need to get rid of the consideration of source code as works of literature.
First of all, a giraffe would not need to be the only one to pass on his genetic material, just more likely than the general populous. Secondly, as mentioned in another post, the variance of height in the populous would be a lot more than just 1mm.
Secondly, its more like 10% positive, 10% negative, and 80% neutral. How would that "rapidly diverge out to minus infinity"? I think you are grossly overestimating the number of mutations per generation.
Thirdly, how does the system need a plan to reach more advanced forms? And just what do you mean by more advanced anyway? If you mean more complex, then no it doesn't. Chaos theory and cellular automata theory takes care of that. And if you mean intelligence, it doesn't either. Intelligence is the natural solution to the problem of having to adapt to a changing environment. The more intelligent you are, the more you can influence the change to your benefit, and therefore the more you can reproduce.
And finally, SETI has never used that argument, if they did, they would be hailing each and every pulsar as a beacon of a huge galactic civilization. The argument they use is, rather, if we find something that is different from what we are used to seeing, such as a broadcast series of primes, then its is likely to be a sign of intelligence. To apply this argument to evolution, we would have to have a planet sufficiently like Earth to campare ourselves to.
but i would much rather actually own a physical copy of a game rather than a digital copy.
What you seem to forget is that every single physical copy of a console game, from the carts for the original nintendo to the CDs for the Saturn and PlayStation, is a digital copy. The only difference between those copies of games and ones on a hard drive is the media. And if you ask me, putting it on a hard drive greatly improves the media. For one it is more reliable, two you can make backup copies a lot easier than with carts or CDs, and three, no more dust on the cart or laser.
Maybe on a computer stereo, but try hooking it up to a real system. I most definately can tell the difference between 128k and 192k, I kind of tell the difference between 192k and 256k, but 256k is my limit. Although I have a friend that works as a music producer that says he can hear the compression on a MD, which is approx 256k.
Take a look at an example of this in real life. If you want three keys of coke, do you call up the Mexican runners yourself? No, you call you're cousin Vinnie, who "knows people," down on the docks. Vinnie'll hook you up. And is Vinnie gonna want a cut? Hell yeah.
Yeah, and do you know what a cut of $0 is? Its still $0.

4) The waste of taxpayers money spending time in public schools doing religious things that have absolutely nothing to do with education. If you want to have lead prayers and stuff in schools, nothing is stoping you from going to a private religious school, or even just doing it at home or church, where it belongs.
5) Women losing the right to control their own bodies. And the redefinition of life from birth to conception, so the religious right can further their idiotic viewpoint on sexuality.
6) The religious right starting to win their crusade to turn this country into a theocracy.
I've always thought it usually worked the other way. Anime certainly did, as was mention elsewhere in the thread. But also look at computers in general. Or techno or punk music. It seems to me that when it becomes popular, the people who pride themselves on being not cool move on to something else.
How about this for an idea. You take one of the ergonomic keyboards with the keys on curved bulges, and you separate it into two pieces. Then you could add an optical sensor on the bottom of the keyboard to turn it into a mouse. When you want to type, you do, and when you want a mouse, just grab the key hump and move it around!

It shouldn't be hard. Just use the code that changes your MAC address, send out a couple packets, then change it back.
Bullshit he doesn't. Haven't you ever heard of an Executive Order?
Burned CDs have a shelf life of less than 5 years. And thats if you keep them out of the sun.

EtherPeg is a Macintosh program that will sniff an AirPort network and display any and all GIFs and JPEGs it finds. Comes with source.
No you don't. There is a very simple way to sniff switched networks as long as there aren't any routers in between you and the traffic you are trying to sniff. You just send a couple forged packets spoofing the MAC address of the machine you are trying to sniff. Then the switch will send you their packets as well.

But you do have to pay full price for the hard drive, and the hard drive is the media here, not the shareware.
