I thought that was supposed to be the method, but it seems I have something fubar somewhere - dragging folders there isn't working at all. Time to troubleshoot my install then. Thanks for confirming the method.
OK, thinking this is a great idea, I went to do it, but the @#$@ file interface won't let me. So how did you manage this? editing prefs manually? some plist?
There are sumulations like your suggestion on the market already. They are geared towards passing your driver's test. I've seen them come with or without a steering wheel. It's been a while though, so I don't have the name of one. I'm sure if you tell a teenager to find one on the net before they can get their license, they'll find it.
IIRC, they were PC based, though a console based one makes sense as well, since not everyone has a computer. Anyone want to make one?
For the record, Tsukasa is in "computer" induced coma IRL. The game didn't technically put Tsukasa in the coma, but, similar to an addict, Tsukasa really had to want to get out of the game to get out of the coma.
Login Limits would not have been a factor in that story. I will now return to my coma.
He has some great points, and if some non-fan boys would catch things, he's an apache developer. He has the right to hate some things in apache.
I'm glad to see that someone who works with the project has some of the same frustrations I do:
mod_imap - why does anyone still need this? http and https needing seperate entries in vhost vhosting in general
And to those whining about PDFs would you rather to have this posted in a PPT file? Comic Sans probably means Powerpoint is at the root of this. And I'm guessing he didn't need to put the out there, so he picked a format everyone can read without resorting to PowerPoints horrible html conversion. I hate PDFs, and really hate them viewed in the browser, but that's what "save as" is for. And I'll bet you didn't have to go get a viewer just to read this. There is no pleasing the Slashbots who would rather whine about a PDF than take the criticism in stride, and with the humor it was presented in. If you have to whine about the delivery, then you're too childish to pay attention to the message. He may not have OpenOffice installed at his work (there are places who don't allow that), and this may have been the best he could do under reasonable effort.
I'd prefer his effort go into the server than in giving us an HTML page rendered just for us. He could use that time to fix some of the annoyances! Some have better things to do than to please everyone.
WoW is using BT, not Kazaa, as a distribution channel. MS can *charge* for a BT like distribution channel, compete with Akami, etc. A MS Kazaa would be a nightmare for them. A distribution channel that can be controlled, pckaged and sold is a potential money maker / saver. I remember looking for the XP SP2 over BT as MS's servers were bogged down. For the speed complaints - even a slow torrent is better then no download at all.
BT functionality (esp sharing bandwith) in commercial applications is one such use MS can possibly make money on (and undermine the fact that BT clients are open source - can't have too many OSS users out there, or they might thing OSS is good for something).
I second this. If I'd have spottend this link, I'd have downloaded this instead of setting it up my tracker (see above). Karma in Slashdot should be for adding something useful. This is useful, and should be treated as such. I think I'll put the larger filerush torrent on the link I posted above, so I don't detract from it. (The larger the torrent, the better it is.).
I hadn't considerd that until this morning, but you can add to the source to do things like randomize meta tags, include text from other pages at random, etc. to make it less likely to detect a pattern.
If you're *really* serious about non-detection, then you should vary the amount of poison in the pages, so that some will be merely annoying or almost innocent, with links that are completely lethal.
If I was a perl hacker (instead of merely playing a sysadmin at work), I'd write this idea out, so if anyone here wants to have a go, post a link.
Insight is a test from 5 years ago? Not in the computer world it isn't. You want to do more than flame at someone, then make the effort to find current benchmarks. Even the page you linked to says they're old: "A previous study can be found here, comparing various Directory Service technologies, but it dates back to May 15, 2000."
Wondering if HTML will make your message look like spam? Well, I know I'd go here: http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_0_x.html and search on the html related tests and their scores. They should tell you what the anti-spam community considers "evil".
I don't see a need for html mail - you want it to look a certain way, give me a blurb to get my interest and then link to the content. My friends do this with interesting links, newsletters I get are like this, I even view Slashdot on the "light" mode to get rid of as much of the clutter as possible. Then I go the the links to see more if I care to.
This looks like a great idea, but the one thing that it seems to lack is to actually work on files on the remote computer. You can transfer files, which is good, but working from a shared volume has a lot of benefits. Also, speed of transfer is something I'd like to see compared (I could test it, but I'm in for a busy morning and should stop slashdotting unless I lie down.)
As funny ass this is, I've got an improvised "couch" under my desk. I lay down and work with my laptop when I need to concentrate (like in a little while when I'll be working on an obnoxious conversion script). I also spend a lot of time working while lying down on the couch at home, and (the best yet) laying in a hammock in the back yard. Notebook + wireless has helped me focus so many times, and now I can cite science as a reason to refute my wife telling me to just get up off the couch (even if she's not suggesting I get off the computer).
Content is accepted or rejected by "peer" geeks. Calling them editors is really a misnomer, since they obviously don't edit, they just review and decide if a submission is worth of posting to/.
Reviewing submissions is the key here. Editing really isn't their function, as editing implies they have a direct effect on the content, instead of being gatekeepers. (Some editorialize more than others though.)
I don't understand the backlash in this case. If someone else is covering the story, link to it and remove the need to click to his site. Then I'd say the complaining would be fair. In this case, no one seems to have done that. That's a major difference between Groklaw and/. Here, users bitch and complain. There, you get links to the absolute source wherever possible. Got a link to the source? Please give it. I'd love to see it. Hopefully it will have more detail. If not then, maybe it's possible that Roland has created a story this time.
Slashdot rarely produces any new content either, and is now an ad/subscription based site. Why are we still here if they are just putting together other people's stuff and "selling it".
You can still just: echo "127.0.0.1 www.primidi.com >>/etc/hosts (or the windows hosts file if you're using a Windows based OS)
Without this story being pointed as coming from somewhere else, I linked to his site to read it. The entire controversy with Roland seems to echo what the story is about anyway - Who controls what is seen in a "peer reviewed" publication./. is peer reviewed - by the editors. Complaints about Slashdot echo complains about the peer review process in the story. I'm not a Roland fan boy, but until someone produces credible links to refute that this is his, I say it's worth linking to. I know I would have not have heard of this incident without this story, and as someone who has published (limited) works, I find it relevant and interesting.
In short, give me a reason to dispute that *this* story it not appropriate for the Science section of Slashdot, and not based on the name of the submitter, or the editor who posted it.

For those who don't want to deal with trackerless torrents/ /Magnet URIs, etc. (see above), which are faster...

/. have mercy on my tracker.
This torrent below will give you a smaller torrent, so a slower download - you have been warned:
One torrent of the torrent:
http://www.iddl.vt.edu/~jackie/imps_chapter1_DAVE
And may
The tracker keeps timing out, but keep trying. Azerus does this automatically, and the swarm is going fine.
I second this. If I'd have spottend this link, I'd have downloaded this instead of setting it up my tracker (see above). Karma in Slashdot should be for adding something useful.

Well, I guess I need to remove wpoison, since mine is a kid-friendly site and is definitely not a place where a logo like that is appropriate.
I hadn't considerd that until this morning, but you can add to the source to do things like randomize meta tags, include text from other pages at random, etc. to make it less likely to detect a pattern.
If you're *really* serious about non-detection, then you should vary the amount of poison in the pages, so that some will be merely annoying or almost innocent, with links that are completely lethal.

WPoison is a Perl script, as source (naturally).
WPoison is actually better from a technical standpoint, as it's a random page each time, not just a block of pages you download.
Windows Terminal server with the Linux desktops connecting via rdesktop is another way (assuming the app runs on TS).

If MS started as Bill Gate's blog, then I could see ms.org.
No openldap to compare it to on that page.
