www.truetech.com / www.camarades.com, It's video only but it's free and requires no plugin to play. The server sends a string of jpegs. I'm still screwing with it. As a side effect, you get listed on camarades website for free, and can easily clock up 20-50 hits per minute to your page with 'sufficiently interesting' content.
Or you can get a feature-reduced realproducer for free, and a version of the server that supports 20 (perhaps 25, have to check) streams. I have stuff about hacking the truetech software, and clips from realproducer on my web page, 'cos it's what I'm working on at the moment:)
But it wasn't a 'prank' call.. I've heard the actual MP3 (months ago).. the questions are genuine, the answers are complete and utter bullshit because she thinks she's talking to someone who doesn't know much, and she's trying to sound as if she has a clue when she obviously doesn't. Go read the link (hopefully someone will have modded it up so it should be easy to find)
Nice to see the transcript too, the mp3 was pretty distorted and harsh.
Interesting; peers are expected to be responsive to UCE complaints. And I though uunet was about second or third on the list of spam-friendly providers?!
If you own a firearm you should take reasonable precaution to make sure it doesn't get stolen. If someone can come up your driveway, climb in a window and walk away with a loaded shotgun then perhaps you _should_ be charged with murder when they subsequently use it to shoot someone.
1/1/2000 was really only an 'interesting date' as much as everything else. I was amused to observe and comment on the passing of "12:34:56 7/8/90" which is over ten years ago now although nobody else seemed to care, and you can bet I'll be waiting for "11:11:11 11/11/11" too.
Dammnit, I just realised I missed "01:01:01 01/01/01", I have to kick myself now!
No really, it was all a big plot from the Cobol programmers to make a quick buck and retire before they became really, absolutely obsolite and forgotten..
offtopic: The 'official and authoratative' beginning of the single, global third millennium (1/1/2001, 0:00 GMT) has just passed. Nobody seems to have noticed. Does anyone else care? It seemed to me that this was kind of a siginificant milestone as milestones go, and perhaps it would've been nice to celebrate it at the correct time instead of a year early..
