And of course, I forgot a few, like screen (must have), lynx/firefox (so I have some sort of web browsing), and maybe wget. heh damnit. Too many sub utilities! heh
Now there are zero 100% completed people on this torrent because everyone is hitting 100% and disconnecting. This defeats the entire purpose of a torrent!
At least do it for a half-hour after you've completed... that way someone else has a chance of finishing and covering for you after you leave!
Cool, I had found most of them except the last one. The last one has several of the bots running on it. It seems that shaw cable was infected in a couple areas, so I dropped them an abuse email to warn them of it.
You should include this information in the next version of your document!
If you don't mind, do you know a listing of the URL's for the gnutella caches it is using? By watching those, we might be able to track where it's popping up, contact the ISP's involved, and track the overall spread of the virus?
I have like 5 printers, 3 computers (p2-300), 3 monitors (working), and a couple broken things, and I can't get anyone to take any of it! I tried to donate them to schools, and they were apparently too junky for them. However, they were willing to take my pile of cisco gear. (fasthub 100's, woo)
If there was someone who would take these things and use them, I'd gladly give them away. However, I'm going to have to pay to have them recycled. which kind of sucks, because I'm sure the HP 4si is not junk. `8r/ aw well.
heh thanks! I couldn't get to them, and I was one of the first 10 to see the post! heh

Borg Cube Case

PS. Text of the site:
Introduction
A couple of months ago, Xor'Arch posted some pictures of his new project on our forum. These first pictures created such a huge anxiety and hunger for more that we contacted Xor'Arch, and decided to keep the project a little bit secret. This way we could prepare ourselves for a worthy Caseview that this case absolutely deserves.
CaseJunkies proudly presents: Xor'Arch's Borg Cube.
We asked Xor'Arch how he came up with the whole idea. He explained that his Router had some problems with his ISP's Cable internet connection. He needed another way to provide his network with an internet connection. The only possible way was to implement an extra computer to share the internet connection, so the router would be unnecessary. Read on, and see how the project went from idea to reality.
The plans for an extra PC, functioning as a router, firewall and download-machine were made long before I got the idea to make the Borg Cube. I first intended to use a small midi case (A-Open H340B) with a Via EPIA-M 933Mhz chipset and 256MB RAM memory. After having put it all together, I was not really satisfied with the way it looked. It looked kinda boring to me, and that's when I got the idea to build a case myself. Here's why I chose Borg to be the design's theme:
* To Route: Collective - A central point where everything comes together and gets sent out to multiple computers.
* Act as Firewall: To prevent hostile attempts to penetrate the system, and neutralize them.
* To Download: All your bytes will be assimilated...
* And, the Borg are just cool.....
Since I wanted the project to be 100% original, I searched the internet for similar projects. Fortunately none of them came close to what I planned to make. After having collected as many pictures and information as possible, which was harder than I first thought, I started the construction of the Borg Cube.
Just irresponsible...

Borg Cube Case

I don't think the server is going to hold up under the pressure. I find it a little irresponsible to continue to link directly to forum entries on sites. It's one thing to cripple a site by sending 10,000 people to view their pictures, it's another to cripple the site by not even giving a static page as a link.
I don't know about this because there are two ways to look at it.
First, it could be the code that GameSpy3D uses because that's entirely Joe, Tim and Jack. That's an entirely different product. That's Spy Software that holds the code itself, not GSI. It is hard to fix code you don't actually have!
Secondly, has he been giving them a chance to fix the code? Think about it, he's hacking a protocol that is nearly the same since Quake 2. That's how many engines you'd have to change to get a real fix in place. Hell, I have a friend who still plays Heretic 2 online! heh That's a lot of changes. So, I think they just want him to calm down while they fix the issues.
Finally, I will point out that Mark's nickname is Bastard, but he's not an entirely bad guy. He's been one of the few guys to survive the dotcombomb and not sell out completely. He has some business sense and is trying to protect his business. And a big chunk of his business is reliable internet servers and keeping people using his browser. Personally, I think the cause of reliable online gaming to be worth a 'stop a moment while we fix this stuff.'
Then again, I'm biased, I did run a server for four years for them.

Anyone get a copy before the server imploded?
Or would that be the 10th edition?
And of course, I forgot a few, like screen (must have), lynx/firefox (so I have some sort of web browsing), and maybe wget. heh damnit. Too many sub utilities! heh
Should I really care all that much if they're sniffing me? I mean, I assume everyone is sniffing me, which is why I encrypt most everything...
KAAAAANNAAAAADAAAA!!!!

Anyway, just a thought.

Why Borg?
The plans for an extra PC, functioning as a router, firewall and download-machine were made long before I got the idea to make the Borg Cube.

Not that anyone cares, though.
'No Joe, you're reading it wrong, he just wants to fuck you.'
ah damn. This was the wrong one. There was another one that was 180 for a 4 drive one. I can't seem to find it on froogle now. ah well.
250 GB drives (YMMV) ~= 4x$170

$830
Have fun. No G4 requirement to use the 800 Firewire interface, which is the only available on this solution.
Actually, wintel was first used by the Mac guys to describe it. Good idea to check Google Groups on when things come into vogue. heh
Don't forget about Mangband, which is a multiplayer version of Angband, also Tolkien based. `8r)
Ah, the good old days of quake... *sigh*
heh yeah, I was at beatdown 5. Good times! `8r)
ah okay, was just curious. I'm a bit more old school PQ person. `8r) I tend to run into people from that time of my life from time to time.
er, and the second way to view this is that Mark is simply living up to his nickname. heh. Whoops. Forgot my opening statement! heh `8r)

See, now I'm curious about who you are! `8r)
It's better than using 'X2-box'... Because then they'd have Marvel sueing them.
