i think i remember that nova segment.. they had like 6 possible places that people were looking for atlantis and the evidence that made or broke each theory...
i think in the caribean it had something to do with these vast underwater reef patterns that looked almost like a road system... any one else remember better details?
it gets even more intresting where there are several muds that use a similar code base comepting against each other for players... you end up with an "international community" people bad mouthing other competing muds (even if they are not connected to the staff at all)
it's pretty funny actually... you can see clicks forming and parties formed of people who have played together on differnt muds comming all to one mud and attempting to take it over and such... a real good microcosm of gang warefare...
i think the addictive element is different for different people.
if you look at the stereo typical male element.. then you have the competative aspect... i must outdo my friends and beat down on my enemies i've noticed muds like godwars and genocide (heavy pk) are very heavy in male population...
if you look at the stero typical female elemnt then you have that social interaction thing going... if you look at "muds" that are mainly aimed at just talking and less or no killing there is more of a balance between male and famle patrons
note: i don't mean only men want to score and only women want to interact.. that is just the stereo type that these muds (and many other games) market on... i know no girls that are into first person shooters, but i several who are into "final fantasy"
of course after playing and coding godwars (yes i was one of those) for a few years i've found that the greatest chalenge a mud can give long term players is "getting bored" unless the coders are constantly adding new stuff, more stuff, cooler stuff, people get bored eventually and leave.. or it turns into a chat room with occasinal killing.
one idea i read: if you want to support free (as in beer) software writters is to make the royalties on a % base.. that way people who charge little or no $ for their software are not hurt by this issue
but overall i think everyone would benifit from free open stadards to build on
yes, but it's usually these social outcast extremists who voive their opions the loudest... and if enough of us start shouting and no one else contradicts us, people upstairs might actually think we are right *smirk*
i think their benifit are twofold:
1- they look good to their supporters (hp has supporters?? oh well so much for that theory)
2- they wont have to deal with the complexities of tracking patents, ip, copyrights, etc... or having to wrestle with other people as to who owns what?
overall it will make it simpler for themm (who toute themselves as more hardware companies so they can build their hardware and use free standards...
it would also be intresting to see which ISP's users are least trusted/liked... i remember back in school, a group of us were running a mud. there were two sites that got so bad they were permanently banned (we even hard coded it so the lower level imms could not remove it)... AOL... and of all places the san fransico pulic libary... go figure
yes, in the case of napster this is probably the case... even in the case of a bartender holding out such a sign i think it'd still be difficult to prove that he intentionally welcomed such trade...
but i think in this mp3.coms case how can they know if files that are being taken from their site are being traded by napster users... it gets even more sticky
i just wonder why the plaintiffs didn't just sue napster directly?
mp3.com is being sued because their serice COULD have been used to help distribute files over napster?
unless they have any way to trace files traded on napster back to mp3.com how do they expect to win?

tell that to 2600... despite the moral issue... i would think if this got out enough ms might sue... and right or wrong they've got the money to do alot of damage
as any fool knows iocane comes from australia and as we all know australia is populated by criminals and criminals are used to being not trusted, just as you do not trust me so i can cleary not chose the glass in front of you!
sorry and now back to your regularly scheduled post:
didn't eman to make australia sound bad or anything... i'm just pointing out the this survey was of a very limited demographic... just like if the surer was done only in hackensack new jerset as opposed to only being done in hollywood we might see different numbers
well that would not be bad if the couple hacks per year were minor exploits or new holes found in the system... but what i was trying to point out (and it was not meant to be a troll) is that one of the hacks happened because they failed to install a patched they already issued... that's not a security vulnerability that's just plain carelessness on their part THAT is what i didn't like about it... and the worst part of that story was, the person reported the hole to ms and then two weeks later came in again using the same hole
as for my "secure linux box" i think one minute is an overestimate since i am not a network admin... and fyi- i don't use llinux... i'm a windows user... i just critisize ms alot because i want them to shape up and give me a better product... i do feel ms has some good products out there but they do need improvement
i think that's nice, but still the survey was of what... 4000 people in australia or something? we must consider that those who were targeted as well as those who responded might be just the ones who are more opt to buy albums based on downlaods... those who are not just might not want to participate in the surveys... not saying the survey is wrong, but you just can't take surveys to be cannon
this is a point i keep bringing up when ever i hear about hailstorm... and i don't mean about nt/win2k being insecure, cause i think it's possible to secure the systems... i mean microsoft as an organization is insecure. last year they were hacked by someone in russia, then later someone broke into a webserver they had (through a known hole that ms issued a patch for but did not install) this year their hotmail got shuut down because some techs messed up a router to their DNS systems and they didn't have any redundancy... 2 days later after everyone learned about it someone hit it with a DoS attack and killed it again... that's just what i remember from semi recent news
this leads me to have a lack of trust of ms' capability to secure my private info... but then again i really don't trust any organization with that much control over my life when i have no control over said organization
There are two viewpoints we cna look at this from. (was that yodaspeak?)
1- the CPU needs to let the rest of the sytem catch up, because it's now everything else that's bottlenecking
2- let each team reasearching each theory keep going because sooner or later people who are researching other methods will help the rest of the computer catch up.
but regardless they are talking about making really small transistors... these could be concieably used to make all kinds of chips not just cpus (someone correct me if i'm wrong)
we could have nao-northbridges, nano-memory, yada, yada...

i can't remember chinese, but japanese write up to down and right to left. what would be nice for me is multilanguage packs so i can have my english os AND have some funky japanese capabnilities built in at an os level so i can use it with any app... i remember a few years back i found a chinese/japanese/korean text inputer for windows that could insert cjk characters into any windows apps(well just about)... it was nice... wish i didn't lose it.(
i was looking at dataports recently.. the dpi is like ~$50 for the kit and maybe another $35 for an additional drawer, plus ~$100 for another hard drive so you could pull this off for less than $200... it's not free or dirt cheap, but hardly bank breaking for a middle income person in an industrial nation (of course i have no idea the income of the author)
i've also had problems getting system commander working on an asus a7v mobo... it seems to think the promise ata100 controler is a virus (or atleast that's what the cryptic error message leads me to believe
just in case anyone else might want to try this
Well i personally have been waiting for this release for a while... i've tried a few different distro (not a whole lot) and suse was next on my list... i'm not in this for the bigger numbers... i just wanted more hardware support
i shun redhat since i'm still a linux newbie and most of the security news i hear about linuxc are red hat related... i would like to avoid having to be on constant alert about such things
i dunno about slack but from what i know abotu debian it's like the slowest distro cause of their extensive test cycle right?
problem is most people today are completly unaware of the rights they are selling off when they get into new technology.. the only thing they know is what ever the comercials inbetween "friends" and "frazier" tell them...
and let's not forget that a pirate does NOT need decss to copy the disc... he can just copy it with the css intact... as long as the other person is playing it on a windows machine or proper region dvd plyer it will work... it's not about stopping piracy.. it's about stoping fair use

but i think in this mp3.coms case how can they know if files that are being taken from their site are being traded by napster users... it gets even more sticky
i just wonder why the plaintiffs didn't just sue napster directly?
true... but in this case napster is being told that they are to make sure they they have 100% compliance of everone who uses their service...
this would be more akin to the onwer of a store being told that if illegal trafficing is going on even without his knowledge that he will be blamed...
i thought the norm was if he should discover or someone reports ilegal activity on his premises he is to stop it or call athorities?
mp3.com is being sued because their serice COULD have been used to help distribute files over napster?
unless they have any way to trace files traded on napster back to mp3.com how do they expect to win?
