Another possibility is to do what some of the cracks newsgroups do and post encrypted, during developement anyway, and make sure you really trust anyone you give the key to.
Possibly we should start (virtually) hanging out with some of the better crackers and warezers out there, some of them have been going forever without having been caught yet.
Another idea antiquated as it may seem would be to use the post, you write the program, drop a load of copies in the post to people you believe to be sympathetic, they get it, and drop a load of copies in the post to people they know. Pyramid distribution, nobody knows who started it, no one knows who has it...
Yeah I only read that after I posted, although I'd say 48 hours isn't too bad as generally the people who try to censor this sort of thing take a while to catch on.
Then again you'd have to be sure they DO delete the logs, and if someone was really after you they could possibly recover them.
Then again there's quite a few usenet servers out there (including a lot of open ones), should be one that doesn't log.
If I thought someone was seriously after me though I'd think I'd only use this along with a few other links and fire breaks though.
Yeah, compared to RPGs there are way more novels that are 'so prescient, political and imaginative a worldview' that they should be getting a mention.
Anyone have an address so that we can start a 'Send Jon a Book' club...
Not knocking RPGs etc, in fact after the comments here I'm kinda inspired to hunt down some fun MUD and partake, probably a better use of my scantily clad free time than posting bollocks here.
I've got the ppp stuff compiled in the kernel rather than modules as well.
The only problems I had was that kppp didn't like the new setup (easily fixed as I had KDE 1.9 on a cd). And also something I'd upgraded thought it would be amusing to add a default route (route del default - b4 dialling fixed that.)
Yup, no problems at all with 2.4.0-blah after a couple of minor teething problems getting everything else up to spec.
For anything that isn't going to get you calls at 4am in the morning if it goes down it should be fine.
Also ppp connection seems to have speeded up quite a bit after upgrading (possibly just the new pppd, but even so) so I can't see myself going back to the 2.2 series unless something goes seriously weird. I haven't benchmarked, but I suspect that everything else is running a bit faster as well.
Oh and hey you've got the same name as my PC (give or take an e).
A small set of gTLDs
do not carry any national identifier, but denote the intended function of that portion of the domain space. For example,.com was
established for commercial users,.org for not-for-profit organizations, and.net for network service providers.
Could everyone Please stop making this mistake now, it's really starting to bug me.
Or even if you were for instance to write your own program to read HTML encoded documents.
Historicaly whenever the purveyors of content and the players have been owned excusively there have always been problems, US: cinemas & film Co's, UK: Breweries & pubs. Can you imagine if you could only buy your tv from CNN?
I might be way off topic of course, I don't play games.
I'd imagine that if the story was on the frontpage it would be rocketing into the hundreds by now.
But even so this isn't really big news, just the date the trial will be held.
It does (probably) mean that Napsters failed to get the RIAAs request for a permament injunction denied though (Reg sez it more lucidly).
If the case was just about Napster then people would just ignore it and use another prog when they lost.
But there are precedents being set, even if neither side are the good guys in this case, the end result could effect a lot of people who are (relatively).
Have to agree, can't see them winning the case though.
Unless It's analogue rather than digital satellite then I'd imagine with a bit of tinkering then there must be something you could do with it, plenty of free to air channels out there...
I thought I had some bookmarks on DIY sattelite stuff, but either a) I didn't or b) I just can't see them among the hundreds of othere.
So instead have a satellite links page, among the billions of links here there should be a site to suit:
Slashdot Mirror

usenetserver.com (and i'd imagine most others) for eg doesn't keep logs of who posted what, so any trail back to you is broken there.
Need someone to start a comp.software.persecuted newsgroup for all these types of things.
It would also seem a good way to distribute as it will be mirrored worldwide very quickly after being posted.
It would be a luverrly world indeed if you could just challenge mr valenti (or whomesoever) to a bit of fisticuffs to settle the matter.
Also of course it means I could have written off all those kung fu lessons as a business expense :)
Well, 2.4 is pretty stable, and even if it does go weird I still have a 2.2 one in lilo to drop back to, it doesn't do any harm to try it...
nice to know someone was paying attention :)

I'm waiting for Mage: the Accountant, now that would be a scary game...
Quick survey:
Here's hoping this works, when I preview there is a space getting inserted before the end A, like </ A> why's that?

depends how drunk I am :)

I guess most unis etc go for ccTLDs, because well, they don't move very much, or start international franchise (yet).
hmm sunsite.doc.ic.edu doesn't seem to work:)
It's even in the FAQ
.com/net/org are g(lobal)TLDs.

There is no smoke without fire.
A lot of the arguments leveled against USians are fairly off the wall, but there is genuine resentment, that can't just be fobbed off as envy.
And of course to make it worse, most US citizens have patriotism indoctrinated into them to a degree that would make Mr Mao proud.
Most of history's revolutions have been the lower classes (generally conned by some fancy speaker) rising against the ruling class.
America is the new world ruling class, if there is a revolution it's not going to be pretty.
Just wish more of the people with the lawyers and the money would think further forward than their next quarters returns.
cow orking, now that sounds fun....

Shame they are US based...

I guess the main thing we can look forward to if things get switched over to name based v.hosts are some pretty huge error logs...
Wot? GlobalScape? :P
I'd have thought anyone with the knowledge to be able to use DOS FTP would know how to get a decent client and use that instead.
