How much you want to bet the first person that cracks this secure format lands a 5 year jail sentence and $500,000 to napster? How much you wnat to bet this secure format is cracked within a few days of the opening of Napster?
You play an Uplink Agent who makes a living by performing jobs for major corporations. Your tasks involve hacking into rival computer systems, stealing research data, sabotaging other companies, laundering money, erasing evidence, or framing innocent people.
I wonder if they have real life events like the FBI crashing in on you in 26 locations all at once. Thats gotta suck.
is that it does require a FAT16/32 drive as the first parition. This is because it saves a bunch of its files in this partitions root directory. Also, note, that it cannot boot the linux kernel like lilo does.(it cannot pass parameters etc...)
So generaly what I do is put a FAT32 w/ XOSL and Windows on the first part of the drive, then a second partition, or Hard drive with LILO on it.
I think that this is one of the best boot loaders. Not nessicarly in *features* but ease of Use. Would be nice if Mandrake, or another Distribution included it by default. Its all point and click.. pretty niffty.
SEC. 103. INCREASED FUNDING FOR THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER AT THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.
There are authorized to be appropriated for the Technical Support Center established in section 811 of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-132) to help meet the demands for activities to combat terrorism and support and enhance the technical support and tactical operations of the FBI, $200,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2002, 2003, and 2004.
So the FBI wants to buy some new Cray Machines to crack my E-Mail:-)
I think this would be a cool site to have for Linux/BSD. Personaly I like being able to have all my major tools on 1 or 2 disketes. Dunno how many floppies emacs will take though.
Why are you all saying to use satilites, and Wireless stuff!
The kids don't need to Play Quake or Half Life @ school(well I do but thats another subject:-))
I think you need to take a closer look at RFC 1149the Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol (CPIP). According to this site Pigeons can fly 40-50 Miles per hour, so that would give you about 2 hours per webpage. I would reccomend some major caching servers on the school end. Also it would be a good Idea to invest in a Pigeon farm, this would also give your students great expereince in farm managment.
Another idea is to break some standards and perhaps use an UDP tunnel betweent he sites on your pigeons to make sure you don't have to do all the tcp handshake stuff. O yeah...perhaps using larger packet sizes would be a good idea too.
They Fail to Mention that the Price for MSN Internet is $21.95 a month. Thanks Microsoft!(up from $14.95)
So Let me get this straight, I get "better" service", and minimum linux support, and you want me to pay more?
Sorry I think I will change ISPs and take my DSL else where. Anyways I doubt Microsoft would like to see WindowsXP RC2 ISO coming on my DSL Line. Or me connected to Gnutella. Nope I am going elsewere.!
hey it makes total sense if you want to turn a profit.
Big companies/orgs won't even care if its $100 (or more) a seat, as long as its a quality product that works.
For example,.my school is buying CAD software at $1000 a seat, for a 30 Computer Lab. They are also putting on 3d Studio max on all of these computers too. Money is not the problem for em, its getting it up, running, in as little time as possible.
As far as I can see its a smart move that RedHat will prolly copy pretty soon. I think it also implies that Caldera will need to provide better support if you are paying per seat.
maybe I will just walk over and talk to them.. as I only live a mile away.
in fact I talked to Rand Miller about a month ago at a local computer job thingy.
Cyan had little to nothing to do with the programming of Myst III, all they did was give the basic story line. UbiSoft is the one responsible for the problems. You may ask why would Cyan outsource the development of a successfull series of games? It si because they are devloping a thing codenamed "Mudpie". It is a massizly mutli-player game (Somthing like Ultima/Everquest) While at the job thing they had some in game screen shots, they were simply amazing, it convinced me right then and there that I would buy the game. Hell, I may apply for a job there too.
umm.. at my school 0.
(the password for the administrator account of Novel hasn't changed for 3 years. It was written on a peaice of paper, on the teacher desk. oops.)
what exactly did this guy do to get kicked out for 10 days?
At my school... you don't get suspended for hacking because they call opening Internet Explorer "Microsofting", and that is against the rules. You can get your computer privilidges for "Microsofting". No Joke. Thing is, all of the client computers run Windows 98 (same CD key.. hmm...)
now remember, No Microsofting
It doesn't appear to be that bad, from my first read over. However, I would imagine, with the addition of many DSL customers it will change. One of the key selling points for DSL with me is that Qwest/USwest, did not care what services you ran off your DSL modem. I run http, ftp, stmp, pop3, Counter-Strike, and Tribes 2 servers off my DSL line. I would not be suprised if MSN changed their AUP to stop people from running servers, to somthing similiar to @home.

It has no problems with dependencies, because anything needed is download right then and compiled from source. It also can uninstall.
And here is the shocker... FreshPorts.
Too bad its all under BSD liscence.. cus now M$ can use all of FreeBSD's port system in Windows XP 2005+ Profestional

Little link I found with some good info on the Kursk: http://www.subexpo.com/oscar/
damn my school just purchased this thingy. lucky me as a student I get to help with it.
So Let me get this straight, I get "better" service", and minimum linux support, and you want me to pay more?

if($linux eq "cancer"){ $microsoft = "Anthrax" }
did they add a banner saying "welcome to Evil Empire 2.0"?
