Telnet into Dreamcast?

ok obviously if sega runs all the game services this will serve no purpose, but how about if games allow you to start your own servers independant of segas services in the future.
now i dont see why they would need it, but why the hell did id software need a backdoor in quake 2?
well what else would it be? unless its based on a serial number of some kind.
but what the hell would you do once you were in the system?
if it is actually used as a backdoor, the commands may not be obvious either. the purpose of it as a backdoor would most likely be to disconnnect the user from the game services. somebody should start working on cracking it just for the hell of it, because i doubt sega will give out info about a backdoor.
does anyone know if sega plans to implement an ethernet card in dreamcast?
I know it would be initially not practical for the common user, but with more and more cable providers and isps offering high speed access, it would be a good idea in the near future.
I agree, but of course the server has to be able to do its job. try going to http://www.army.mil/
i dont know about other people, but for me it won't load completly, and sometimes when i try again the server drops the connection. I'm on a T3 here, so dont even try to tell me my end is the problem.
of course i doubt that this server is ever going to be under this much load again.
slashdotting is harsh shit. that server is choking
than the millions of people around the world that sit down in front of the TV for 4 hours + everyday? i havent heard any new articles about TV addiction.
Oh shit i read the fuckin newpaper everyday -- i'm addicted i need some fuckin help. Is there a 12 step program?
I think it would be sweet if someone hacked WINE (or something else maybe?) to let us use Windows CODECs under UNIX.
i've gotten the old xing encoder (tompeg.exe) to work perfectly in wine.
The only problem with that is that the old encoder sucks and the new one will not work (not even the command line version).
fortunatly Xing has released a linux verion of the new encoder.
i dont think i know of any half-decent encoders that are available for windows and arent available for linux. All of the high quality encoders are available for both (including lame in cdex).
lame is a great encoder, and it is the only one i use under linux. unfortunatly all the cd rippers for linux suck (a least when using ide cdroms, probably are fast with scsi). In comparison i get around 2x rips with cdda2wav and cdparanoia and somewhere around 8x rips in windows with audiograbber (4x if i turn on encode on the fly).
if you need lame under windows there is a ripper called cdex that uses it http://surf.to/cdex
but if you're going for quality and speed i would go with a regged audiocatalyst and encode them at 192 or 320 (if you have that much space available)
only drawback with audiocatalyst is 256 is not supported.
MusicMatch is good, but audiocatalyst uses the same audio encoder (Xing) and has a faster (in my experience) cd ripper (Audiograbber).
Also remember if you're using the id3v2 tags in musicmatch and you embed a picture in the mp3, mpg123 won't be able to play it. xmms will play it, but it cant display the tags.
these things are great for xterminals. i have one setup with a 170 meg hd. its got an old trident vesa card in it -- runs all its apps off my main box. basically its just slackware with the base packages and xwindows installed. of course mine has got one of those amd 486 chips and is o/c to 150 mhz (3x50mhz) with 40 megs of ram (saved my old simms), so maybe thats why it works well for me. the thing looks like shit -- its sitting in one of those classic PC/XT 150 watt power supply boxes. havent tried it with anything slower.
what would really save some time would be a select tool similar to the magnetic lasso of photoshop. I've always saved alot of time using it, but in the Gimp nothing works as well (intelligent scissors dont do it for me)
more bullshit from a group of politicians who have no concept of reality.
2) The extent to which new technology tools, capabilities, or legal authorities may be required for effective investigation and prosecution of unlawful conduct that involves the use of the Internet; and
oh and do they actually know how to use these "new technology tools".
maybe we can send them to Computer Learning Center -- in three months they'll be able to catch anyone involved in illegal activities on the internet.
So now we have an official order of Conduct on the Internet. The president is now an offical Internet sysop -- next he'll be reading our email.
actually nt stands for northern telecom (i think thats the right company) microsoft licensed their technology for use in microsofts next generation of NT. I read this in some article a while back. . .
correct me if i'm wrong -- feel free to flame as well.:)
who are knowledgable about computers actually have friends who are not so knowledgable.
if i want to get in touch with somebody who doesnt know shit about irc i'm not gonna tell them to get into irc. I gonna start up TiK and talk to him cause whenevers hes on AOL he'll show up. hes not gonna start up an irc client and connect to undernet.
thats the only reason i use an aol product -- all my friends are on aol. far and few between use icq, and none of them are sitting on irc all day.
you many want to be accepted as having some sort of logical thought in your messages, however, you can compare your style of writing to the fact that if you walk into job interview wearing a burlap sack you're not gonna get a job
my god that's the last time he'll write something bad about the open source community
a small minority of people who regularly read/. think that it is a good thing to attack their enemies thru email.
not a good idea, especially if you're looking for acceptance by the mass media. if corporations get the impression that the linux crew is a bunch of little kids ready to email bomb, smurf, crack, and generally attack all that oppose, (some have already made this assumption) they're never going to seriously consider using it.
of course the people that are doing these things might not want the software to be publically accepted. they like being different and "more advanced" by running a minority o/s. running papasmurf doesnt make you more advanced -- it makes you a script kiddie.
if you're gonna flame someone, at least have the decency to include some arguement in your flame instead of "fuck"ing the hell out of them.
i don't think i would ever consider getting internet access thru a dish. The latency is at least 2 seconds.
Ick think of Quake or any realtime network game for that matter.
Also you do have at least a second delay with normal television viewing. For example I was watching the sixers-pacers game last month (DIE REGGIE DIE) on my local station, and when ever i flipped to tnt from the antenna station i would see the play that just saw a second before.
needless to say that shouldnt affect deciding whether or not to buy a dish to watch tv, but networking over satellite isnt a good idea.
"Then take that CD and play it on your best stereo system, and I defy you to duplicate your friend's sequence list."
very true theres no way you're gonna be able to tell even on the best of systems.
lets not let this become an mp3 quality war -- if you don't like it fine. dont use it.
whip out your turntables, load em into the trunk of your car hook em up to your high quality car audio system -- maybe you can change records when you're stopped at a red light.
in a few years (if some of these players catch on) everybody's gonna be carrying around standard cd's with 12 hours of music on 'em and you're gonna still juggling cd's in your disc changer cause you need your high freqs
nullsoft was desperate for money due to the suit filed by Playmedia. When AOL offered to buy nullsoft the small company, they must have seen this as an opportunity to prevent losing this case (even though playmedia had virtually no case against them).
Nullsoft Founder and President Justin Frankel said: ``Working with America Online will let us globally extend the use of our technologies through its Internet brands. In addition, having access to America Online's
tremendous resources and infrastructure will let focus our efforts on what's really important: Making cool software.''
tremendous resources to pay lawyers to get playmedia off our backs . . .
maybe i'm reading between the lines, but it does make sense.
why would they get rid of Nitrane to replace it with that crappy decoder they use now unless they were scared?
have no idea what to do with computers. my school has a few hundred dell 266mhz PIIs deployed and another 2-3 hundred sitting in storage.
How long is it gonna take them to deploy those? 2-3 years?
and to make it worse the guy they got running the whole thing is a complete idiot. He's got a Computer Learning Center degree. (oh yeah thats some qualifications right there).
He had all the pcs running with 256 color mode including the ones in photography. Try editing some true color pics in photoshop in 256 colors -- it ain't pretty. he of course had all the pcs locked out (which he should cause kids will mess with the settings) so it took me an extra 30 secs to change the color depth and res.
and his ingenious way of transfering large images -- putting zip drives in all the pcs.
i guess it would be too much trouble to put a share on their shitty NT server which is insecure and crashes all the time.
speaking of the server, one of my friends got suspended for 3 days cause he showed the guy that he could copy some files off the server that were supposed to be restricted. the school said he was "hacking". pretty pathetic
and of course their wonderful internet connection thru a bess n2h2 proxy. Originally they had a T3 connection, but then they switched to this Bess proxy which is thru a T1. It is SO slow -- my 56k modem is at least twice as fast because this thing is so inconsistant. of course the reason for this thing is to block the kiddies from the evils of the internet, but up until last month you could bypass it by going to any delegate proxy (ie http://magusnet.com:8084/-_-http://www.site.com/) . So the proxy blocked access to any directory named "-_-". theres still other ways around it. . .
well i'm outta there next month so i couldnt care less about their problems but
my point here is obvious. Schools should spend just as much money in paying someone who knows what he is doing as they do on software and hardware.

actually its loading up for me now, but 20 mins ago. . .
shit man it doesnt count if you're sitting down in front of the damn machine.
the page that is linked directly loads up fine, but http://www.army.mil/ is choking.
give me some numbers -- serving a web page out from hanks deli down the street doesnt count.
one process? what happens if you try to do anything else?
ooooo multithreaded tcpip, i guess why the majority of web servers run macos. . . or am i wrong?
I agree, but of course the server has to be able to do its job.

of course consumers can get DVD burners ($425 last time i checked) , but of course the media is almost as expensive as the games.
