  1. Re:New address on What Happened to Phrack? · · Score: 2

    Unfortunately, things are still pointing to phrack.com on their site (forum.phrack.com for example)... I guess they're still in the process of moving...

  2. Hmm, it seems that corner of the net is gone... on What Happened to Phrack? · · Score: 1

    Try doing a ping on Datalens.com, 204.152.178.12 (Phrack's DNS server)... not there... Then try doing a ping on both pierce.org (204.152.178.11) and emke.com (204.152.178.10)... both DNS servers for Datalens... no response...

    It would seem that Mike Emke and Greg Pierce either they are having problems with their entire network (ack) or something else, more troublesome, is up.

    Perhaps because pedophilia pisses people off, which can, and usually does, cause a flame war? You're right, it's offtopic, but it's also flamebait. If moderators could use more then one criteria, they definitely would.

Or even my hosts, rchrd1.on.wave.home.com and hadeandragon.com, BorderControl says they're in the States (supposed to be Canada)... This doesn't seem very trustworthy one bit.. If ICraveTV was shut down partly for having bad security measures, this one'll be down soon too...

    Um dude...

    Three of my professors at my school continuously just photocopy everything we need for us, charges us for the copy and a little for time and that's that... I haven't heard of the case you mentioned (any specifics you can give?), but it sure hasn't done much to stop copying... and anyway, the person quoting "they certainly wouldn't allow students" .. Big difference between me copying a book (which we have to do from time to time) and a professor copying 30. (Difference being, the professor gets it done cheaper.. :p )

    Nader could very well be an idiot, won't deny that... But what do you mean by "keep this country in this she it is now" ? Being from Canada, maybe I have a different vantage point then you do, but it would seem that violence, crime, drug use, political backstabbing/lying, etc.etc. is on the rise... Of course, it could simply be a normal rise and fall that every society goes through, but it could also be because of the political leaders... isn't it worth a shot to try something different for once? Even Canada had a female prime minister for a time being...

    Where do you see on the website "This site just for linux users only" ? I don't use Linux, I've dabbled, and found it neat, but as of yet, I have no need for it.... yet, I still come here for the news and discussions... ya know, "News for nerds. News that matters" ... Not "News for Geeks. News about Linux". It may have once been focused entirely on Linux, but it's quite obvious that that's no longer the case - get over it.

    Getting stuck between choosing Gore or Bush... quite a pathetic choice, really... Sure, there's some other ones like Nayder (whom, I guess, I'd vote for... *blink*), but do you think they'd win, what with all the media focus on the big two? Of course not. I see some sad times coming in the future for the U.S.

    With 270 million+ people in the States, these are the best two "candidates" ?? Scuse me? What happened to democracy while I was gone?

  18. Living in Ottawa on Ottawa Linux Symposium 2000: Tech Rocks! · · Score: 1

    The weird thing is, I live in Ottawa (for the past month) and heard nothing about it... I realized it was going on through other sources, but not a single mention of it through local media.. not even a bloody poster (which seems to be the primary form of information around here).

    Anyway, I'm glad it was good.. Ottawa, in general, is getting a bit more used to technical conferences... been coming to them for a while, and they seem to be getting better... or maybe I'm just more interested nowadays.

    See ya'll next year!

    Problem I'm seeing is that the games coming out for Linux are old games... sure, Descent 3 is great, but I'm personally too bored of it to want it.. anyway, my point is, if Linux wants to get popular with the gaming crowd, it (Loki) needs to get some newer ones... Ah well, it still great that I don't always have to always boot into Windows to play games I like...

  24. Re:In fairness on Windows 2000 Has 65,000+ Bugs · · Score: 1

    Just so it's out - I'm actually a beta tester for Microsoft - and have been for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows Millennium and Windows 2000 (basically, all the major new Windows') and I have to actually completely agree with this poster. On the "betatest" newsgroups, there are literally thousands of posts with testers posting what they consider "bugs" which, in my opinion, are nothing but "niggly" things that doesn't deserve any attention.

    One problem, though, many of these people also post "real" bugs - freezes, crashes, any other odd occurences - that end up in the final product. Microsoft isn't always able to reproduce these problems, and so they're not solved - thing is, these problems will (and, obviously have) popped up on various people's systems. In Windows Millennium Edition (the new title), for example, I can easily count 50 or so real "bugs" and more then that in "wanted fixes" myself alone that Microsoft hasn't ever touched yet - and most likely never will. These is the same thing that happened with Windows 2000 - but to be nice to Microsoft, it's impossible to fix every single problem there is, especially if you're never able to reproduce it in-house. (see, I'm also a programmer, and if I were able to fix these problems MYSELF, then ... well, I'm sure people on Slashdot know where I'm going with that one...)
