It doesn't seem like a great idea to me. I leave my BitTorrent client running for hours to days each time I use it. My web browser, on the other hand, I close and reopen several times an hour. Hardly ideal behaviour for a BitTorrent swarm.
I suppose Opera can get around this problem by keeping Opera loaded even when you close all the browser windows but this seems like it'd cause alot of headaches for their support team from users who don't understand what's going on. "I downloaded a file and closed my browser but the Internet is still slow!", etc.
I just started using it a week or two ago and am converting all of my passwords to use it. The random password generator works well and it has an "auto type" feature where it all key in your username and password into the currently selected window, which works pretty well.
The big downside is if you forget your passphrase, you're SOL...
I love Gentoo myself but I don't know how much it really teaches you about how Linux works. Most of the nitty gritty parts about installing packages is hidden by the Portage system. The only difference between typing in "emerge kde" vs. "apt-get install kde" is that it takes alot longer and you see a ton of compilation messages. The directory layout is chosen for you, the dependencies are installed automatically for you, etc. How much do you really learn watching hundreds of pages of GCC messages whizzing by?
What'd be ironic is if the script happened to turn out MY exact information. Doh!
Anyway, the chance of a script turning out the right credit number AND expiration date AND CVV number AND billing address is probably close enough to 0 for the few hundred fake entries I produce that I'm not too worried about.
There's not much to it. Here was the last one I used. In this case it was bank site asking for an ATM card number, PIN number, etc. Adapting it to other sites wouldn't be hard. The way I'm generating numbers would probably get rejected if you tried to use it for credit card numbers but this particular phishing script didn't seem to do any verification so I didn't bother...
I have a little PHP script that I use whenever I get a phishing email. The script generates fake credit card numbers, expiration dates, etc. and repeatedly hits the phishing site's form dumping in random info.
Any halfway intelligent phisher would record the IP address of each submission and just dump all of mine when he saw there were bogus, but it makes me feel good that I at least wasted some of his time;)
Not everyone who buys an Xbox360 owns an original Xbox, just not everyone who bought a PS2 owned a PS1. Backwards compatability is a huge selling point for these types of buyers because instead of a handful of launch games, they also can play the huge selection of games from the older console, many of which can be had from the bargain bin for $10.
Scenario 1 - Guy with pinky toe: Hot woman: Hey there, wanna come over? Guy: Hell yeah, let me walk ov... GOD DAMN IT I JUST STUBBED MY PINKY TOE... sweet mother of God this hurts. Make it go away! Hot woman: Wuss.
Scenario 2 - Guy w/o pinky toe: Hot woman: Hey there, wanna come over? Guy: Hell yeah, let me walk over there. Hot woman: WTF happened to your pinky toe? Guy: I got rid of it. For you. It means more of my blood can now be used for a thicker, long lasting erection. Hot woman: Nice.
Not all players support the "subscription" model required for the $5 a month thing. That list is pretty sparse at the moment with the lowest cost of entry for a portable being around $200.
All the cheap WMA capable players can play the permanently downloaded songs you purchase from Yahoo's store but not the unlimited download service.
Not sure about wget but Lynx has had a couple of buffer overflow related vulnerabilities over the years. I don't see anything recent though but it's still important to remember that just because something is non-graphical does not automatically mean it's safe.
GoDaddy only provides DNS service if you host with them or you want to use their "parked domain" page.
There are plenty of free DNS providers out there though. I used to use everydns.net and had a good experience with them. It's free although donations are welcome.
This sounds pretty similar to iRate which is a front end for downloading freely available songs from artist web pages and letting you rate them which in turns find more songs to download.
It seemed like a good idea but the interface was annoying enough that I gave up using it when I tried it out several months ago. Hopefully this project can take the idea and run with it and couple it with an interface that's more flexible.
I'll be 59 in 2037 which is when I can start withdrawing from some of my retirement accounts.
I guess I should go ahead and blow my money on a car or something instead since how big my 401k is isn't gonna matter when the monkeys take over the Earth.
How exactly does BitTorrent's hashing work? Is there a hash for each individual piece and then a hash for each completed file as a whole?
If so, that'd be much harder to fake. If you have a file with 10 pieces, you'd have to a file which would match the hash of all 10 pieces AND match the entire file's hash.
Why do all these live show trading communities choose the shn format over flac? Flac has a more permissive license, has plugins for more media players, has some hardware player support now, and makes slightly smaller files.
The tradeoff is that its encoding times seem to be a little longer but that doesn't seem like it'd be a big deal.
I got the impression he used one battery on his trip there and the other battery on the trip back. I'd think he'd have charged his laptop battery back up whenever he got to whatever hotel/etc. he was staying at.
Anyway, he says his flight is 10 hours each way. If the first battery lasted 7 hours and the second lasted 5.5 hours, it's clear he couldn't have tested them on the same flight.
Didn't Apple license the PDF format from Adobe for integration into Mac OSX? If so, it's likely you paid an "Adobe tax" with your purchase price. Of course, that's still much cheaper than a real Acrobat license.
Almost any Linux distro will give you PDF printing functionality as well thanks to the 'ps2pdf' tool that comes with Ghostscript.
This is the country that popularized such activities as "dogging" and "toothing". I'd say the UK public is definately engaged in risky computing practices:)

I've heard it's sufficient to simply wear a tin foil hat when you take your driver's license photo.
The guy that said this was wearing a black suit, so he must have been telling the truth.

It is available in several suburbs of Dallas now. Most the farther out ones though where there is alot of newer development.

Grew up in a car. Have never seen day light. Need saving.

Slap a "bullet time" label on it and call it a feature instead!
