I remember back.. 10 years back.. actually 5 or 6. Assembly written viruses were rampant. Everyone knew what they were and were more likely to find some way to prevent it. Once a week i had a bootsector virus detected that needed to be cleaned from floppies and hard drives. Virus cleaners were rampant and they nagged you somewhat when they were ot of date. They even gave you instructions how to update sometimes.
Let's fast-forward. Today, OS's only seem more secure, they aren't. We don't get loads of virus software floating about like we used to. More people don't know about viruses than do... and what's worse, they are less viruses about that do more damage.
I'm also surprised that intrusion detection systems don't have nag screens which are attached to daemons to let you know that your software needs to be updated, or you are fucked.
Servers should be required to run a small cron job'd progoram like Nessus (search freshmeat), which would nag you when the data is old. snort, the ids software should do the same.
For the lack of viruses, we need whitehats to write exploits that aren't damaging but are.. surprising. Popping up messages like, "I could have formatted your computer because of XXX, go fix it by doing... "
Maybe if people were made more aware that the computing world isn't all plug-n-play, bells and whistles, that you are using a device that needs care.
Why would they complain? We are forced to watch movie trailers and other commercials before a movie at risk of getting good seats. Heck, using AOL moviephone uses those stupid commercials.
If you ever find one.. let me know if it has the ability to give more violent feedback. Lord knows I'd like to shock people behind their keyboards for the silly or bad questions I get.
"I put a floppy in the front loading cdrom drive... and I can't get it out."
I mean c'mmon.. half of the enjoyment of reading a comic is seeing the unique expressions and reactions to various situations. Imagine if bugs and daffy were like this. Half of the fun was watching the eyes popping, the running into walls and various things. Otheriwse, I rather read a script or book and imagine it out than escaping the artistry part.
At least greg dean of Real Life Comics (reallifecomics.com), who reuses body parts usually, which forces some sort of.. continuity and consistancy, makes each one unique in their situations and facial expressions. I'm sure that parts are manipulated to fit the bill.
Noooooo... i used to read those 3 (of the 10) and they have MAJOR flaws.
Angst technology is a comic that re-uses a few finished comics with new scripts. If you read this comic, you'll notice the only difference between a lot of them are th scripts and not the art. It's as if the artist was too lazy to draw a new comic every other day and instead just erased the words from last time and replaced them.
Polymercity tried to do the plot thing, like sluggy and its walky!, but is failing since it is drawing it out too much. It's almost a year since that plot began. Its strenght was in the witty one-liners it had goign. It was a Userfriendy style comic strip with a sci-fi twist.
Lethal doses just was too far and inbetween new drawings.
It's like the strips which I'd least like to read banded together to become one target for me to avoid. ug
...includes built-in client-side validation and calculations...
Never trust the client to do validation of data!!!! How do you think people cheat at quake etc etc... it's 'cause the final calculation is not done in the server!!!
Actually, ISP's should provide what they give in the terms of service. I'd like to find a few ISP's that firewall all incoming except for core services, such as AIM, ICQ and maybe another few. It'd be great for those who don't want the power and responsibilty of setting one up.
Well, now I wonder why setting a second mailbox, that isn't imap, fixes it? the dummy account i created doesn't even contact my courier-imap server. Hrmm...
Hopefully they fixed the mail.app program. If you have only 1 account, and it's imap, you won't see folders on the account. You have to add another account, even a dummy one that has no mail, to see folders of the first imap account. Stupid mail.app proggie.. had me using that stupid enterage program.
Thats not apples
consern. It is the shools consern. But what is to stop a kindergartener from breaking a desktop instead. Basicly there is Teacher and Teacher,Aids supervision when the laptops are out. and there is also the concept of teaching in small groups as well.
If My spelling bugs you. Then my work is done.
Ow. owowowowoww.. now most words in the english dictionary look spelled wrong. Thanks:) What makes it worse, is that all the longer words are fine./me jumps out of window

Imagine a raven-cluster of these.. er.. uh.. imagine a rhyme-of-the-ancient-mariner-cluster of these.
Take all of our fun away by using a beowulf cluster... damned scientists. Everything else just sounds lame.
The-tyger-cluster? Sounds more like some sorta lame attack. Bah, ferget it.

Dude.. let people have their fun. :) It's fun to talk about.
:) Let us act like children while we can.. sooner or later, we'll be dead.
Like 1. Steal Hotgrits, 2. ???, 3. Natalie Portman.
Just like the "guy walks into a bar.. "
"a baby seal walks into a club..."
It's just.. funny 'cause it is
Hrm... rent, salaries, bandwidth, renting the office.. all big debt accumulators if you ask me.
Why would they complain? We are forced to watch movie trailers and other commercials before a movie at risk of getting good seats. Heck, using AOL moviephone uses those stupid commercials.
It only gets worse! So this baby seal walks into a club. :)

Thank you thank you, i'm here on tuesdays and thursdays.
Makes you think.. if an old ibm keyboard's key was depressed by a machine, and no one was there to hear it, would it make a sound? :)
If you ever find one.. let me know if it has the ability to give more violent feedback. Lord knows I'd like to shock people behind their keyboards for the silly or bad questions I get.

Nice game ideas.. too bad their graphics aren't all they could be. Further proof that programmers prolly shouldn't design graphics :)

I recognize a lot of the cells he reuses.. but i was able to find these 3 in a matter of 10 minutes. He uses at least 6.

All he changes is the mouth in this one.

Here's the bigger question. Would the classical music copyright cover the artists which performed?

www.freebsd.org's home was also walnut creek's home. cdrom.com i think it was.
Are you saying it's an act of God that they do anything reasonable? Are you saying it's a holy day when w3c when they release anything? :)

I didn't start it!

I can't speak for .mac. For my local imap account, it gets confused.
Hopefully they fixed the mail.app program. If you have only 1 account, and it's imap, you won't see folders on the account.
