Right on, I have that stupid copy protection, round, rotaty-thingy, in the my desk right next to me. To bad I don't still have a 5 1/2 inch drive so I can still play it. Hmm, I wonder if I still have the box it came it.
ROTT had one of my favorite weapons of all time, Drunken missles, I just get a large amount of joy out of their use. Unreal4ever had a drunk missle weapon, and one other game (anime fsp)... can't think of the name. I love the fact that any number of those little missles might come back and smack me in the head. When I play online games I am usually my own worse enemy, killing myself half the time, with drunken missles I have an excuse. Ok, I have talked tooo much now, back in the hole.
Does anyone else remember this book, I found it at a garage sale when I was younger. It is my favorite Anderson book. Looks like it is out of print though. No content here, move along people.
I do see your point, but, but, I pay for my 640k dsl connection. To me that means that I can use all that bandwidth all the time. If I have two machines, they each get half and so on. Why should it matter how many machines I have using that connection. I still can't use over 640kb/s. If I payed by per MB transfered I could see your point a bit better... Does an isp have to oversubscribe to break even, or only to make a nice profit. ramble ramble ramble
He asks why anyone still uses NAT seeming to say that with ipv6 noone will need to use NAT. I personally use NAT so I don't have to pay my isp 40$ extra every month to have all my machines hooked up. Are ISPs going to just start handing out ipv6 address for free, I don't think so. I can't wait until my isp just hands out subnets, not individual addresses.
I know that 2 usb mice can be used at the same time, is that also the case with 2 usb keyboards, just tilt them up, one to each side, which would jut right in front of my keyboard... nevermind.
If they had already voted, and turned in their votes, how do you propose the person in charge is supposed to find which ballot they already turned in. Where I voted you can get up to 3 ballots, before you turn it in, since you don't write anything identifying yourself on the ballot, there is no way for them to find the old one. Plus the box where they put the ballots where I voted was locked(lockbox:)), they couldn't have done it if they wanted to.
I do some tech support for a network of libraries and I completely understand the need for nazi regulations like this, execept the no email clause. The computers in our lib are not for people to plop down and chat with their friends for hours and hours. They are for doing research, using the online card catalog, and for writing documents. I sure as hell don't pay taxes so that people can play games and look at porn on the machines.
I have heard rumors that the way ndsu blocks napster is by looking for a certain packet sig, the napster seach protocol, and then zeroing out
the payload of those packets. No need to block ports or ip's, If you can't search for or index your songs, then you can't dl/host any. It does not bother me at all, I have my home connection for downloading illegal music.
I always thought it would be interesting to train a neural net to be able to detect when someone is attacking your computer. But I have limited knowlege of NN to know if this would be possible.
I have been thinking about writing a program that will upload the contents of certain cookies to a server and give you back some other users random cookie, kind of a way to screw the ad trackers. or would this be a studid idea.
You make me sick. I think user friendly put it best by saying that it would be like buying real estate in hell. You may be rich now from all your nvidia money but how can you still look at yourself in the mirror without thinking, wow I'm rich now, and all I had to do was forsake my ideals. Granted that your ideals are not the same as mine.....blahblah. Let me just say that you have lost all respect that I might have given you. Not that that actually matters to you.
Checkout www.lids.org. This is a way to protect your system even if someone has root access, you need to know a different password that is compiled into the kernel to do things like: mount disks, put ethernet into promisc mode, write to specified dirs,.... many many things. protects against kernel modules a number of different ways.
Bunch of ACM guys and I dragged a couch out to the sidewalk and watched it. It was pretty cool, no really it is -10 degrees F here. I think I am frosbit, damn moon.
I agree with you completely ralian, No movie can reach the expectations that I have made in my mind. On a different topic(sort of) I wish that more scifi/fantasy authors would take a look at japanamation, those artists are not afraid of not catering to the moronic movie viewing public. I would love to see ender's game turned into japanamation series.
Premium?????, I just got the ultraplex 40x and it was only 120$. To me that just does not seem like alot of money to spend on something that you will use as much as a cdrom.
I would like to know how the people who proposed this are going to enforce it. If they started taxing email people could just switch to something else, everyone use icq, or something similar. Email is just passing some packets around, are they going to tax ftp and http connections too. I doubt whoever came up with this bright idea has much of a clue about how things on the internet work(not that I do:).
Anyone Know if it would be possible to use hardware fabric to shield a translucent case like this, it would cut down on the visibility but it might look kinda neto with lights inside shining through. BTW don't those neon lights put off alot of heat, anyone remember those glowing nightlights that only consume like 2watts of power, green cool glowing case. yah.
One other thing that may speed up performance for some. I have noticed that if you set the screensaver to go to blank screen, you get a higher blockrate, A pentIII 450 took around 20 hours to do a block with the saver always on, and only 9 with it set to go to blank screen.(This may also have something to do with the different versions, I have not checked lately.) josh
If someone would please upload one copy of all the clients to ftp://corpse.acm.ndsu.nodak.edu/incoming/ Then It would be available for others to get here
Hahahahahahahaha, Rare that it will crash the computer, I work at my schools computer lab as a help/consultant, and I have yet to see a mac app crash that dosn't freeze up the whole system, granted that I don't think they have the latest os upgrade, but still, I think that on a PC you have a much better chance of surviving a program crash. (Note: Most of the lockups occure when people go to save or to print, and they mostly happen using Word, so it could also be proving that if you put crap on a good system, it is still crap. The adobe PS drivers are pretty crappy too. but who am I to say anything, you can't judge a computer on the way it acually performs in real life now can you.)

I will give up my broadband when I get a girlfriend.
My cable modem is not worried....

That is so cool, The first time my parents rented a vcr, tron was the movie that came with it. I think I watched it 6 times. Ahhh, the past.
Thanks for mentioning that site, I wonder if it will actually show the station falling?.

Thanks For the Correction, Your point is well taken, I will refer to it as anime from now on.
