no one IN china will be able to tell us, slashdot is on the list of known blocked sites. http://code.law.harvard.edu/filtering/list .html
Uhh, no. That's just a list of sites. Eventhough it says something in effect of "these are blocked", it's probably a typo. I don't believe China would have the balls to block Sourceforge and OSDN.
How do I know that's a stupid list? Look at this entry below:
http://www.FIRSTPOST.com - 8/31/2002 7:13:36
Maybe Chinese hate people who post "First Post" and are trying to reduce spam? Who knows.
Testing complete for http://znet.org. Result:
Reported as accessible in China
Seriously, if Znet/NPR are not blocked in China, I don't see what the big deal is. Either Harvard folks coded that url checker with QBASIC or China is a Great place to live in.
Wow. Calm down kid. Go ask your deadbeat dad for $10 bucks so you can go blow it on DDR making an ass out of yourself.
Idiot flamer.
if the chance were to arise I would savor kicking you in the balls
I'll take you up on that offer. Email me for details. Let's see if you're man enough to keep your word. Info in profile. Unless you're some 27 year old furry loner and want to hide behind your monitor - bring it.
I love the part where you can't enter an IQ score more than a single digit.
On a sidenote, I live in Burbank, California. And our Fry's store is far more superior to any other outlet I know around here. Maybe there is a bad management team at Phoenix location, but here I am satisfyed with the way they service the customers, etc.
Remember the part where Tom Hanks jumps on the piano keys in the toy store to make music? It's funny how after 13 years, they realize there is a market for such an 'invention'.
Althought I think jumping on piano keys is much more fun than jumping on stupid arrows.
I'm also 24 and casually heard many people refer to DDR, and never really understood what it was. Recently I've seen a clip of some _Grown Up_ people dancing in an arcade to some substandard techno music and was blown away by the stupidity of it.
That conflict was, to a large extent, an internecine fight within the European royal family. Yes, singular, for they were all related to each other. Asshole #1 would be Kaiser Wilhelm, but other members of the royal family were only slightly less despicable in their behavior.
Indeed Wilhelm played a major role in the war. But in no way did he start it. He did nothing to prevent Austria-Hungarian outbreak and accepted the war. I'll certainly give you that. But again, his not being there would not have made a major difference. This might come as a shocker, but going to war with European powers was not a part of Keiser's Palm to-do list when he came to power. Minor conflicts maybe, but not a full blown campaign.
I would go to 1894 and stop the conception of a certain somebody named Gavrilo Princip. The man whos actions set off chain reactions to WW1 and beyond.
The man indirectly responsible for 80,000,000 deaths in 20th century alone. 80M. That's not a joke.
But Intel doesn't want to admit that yet becasue they've invested so much into making people believe in Mhz, that to try to convince people that 1ghz is as fast as the 2ghz they bought last year would be nearly impossible.
You lost me right there. I would suppose Intel would push the public to believe that 2ghz is faster than 1ghz when comparing P4 2.xx with Athlon 1.n chips
That is attributed to widespread Bread and Milk piracy. I'm glad they are at least starting to notice and crack down on those shameless pirates.
It was recently published in most leading world publications that a hardware P2P program called Breadster and Milkster rob honest pastry and dairy farmers by freeloading.
FBI (gov't) had to make a move on the company (ForensiTec) to send a message to other would be security people not to test the waters just to get recognition.
They know the network security is lagging behind times in some cases, there are holes. The last thing military needs is bunch of Steve Gibson wannabees portscanning the military servers.
In all, FBI made the right choice by raiding those clowns.
Here's a better suggestion
ForensicTec should get hooked up with omegakidd, and they should conquer new territory and lead us all to the promised land of security where system intrusion no longer illegal.
It's funny how these folks get a tax id, set up a site and adopt the word 'security' thinking it's a license to hack servers, then go public after prolonged periods of time for personal gain.
As a side note, the prices for CDs are insane. I went CD shopping the other day and was apalled to see that a CD I wanted had a sticker on it for $20. $20!...The sad thing is, if they were $10 each, I probably would have bought 3 or 4.
$20 seems a bit excessive. Unless it was a double album or some other limited edition item then I might agree. Nowdays you can find lots of cheap stuff from small/mid size indie labels for sub $10 dollars (assuming you had in mind US currency).
I'm not sure what kind of music you're into, but the selection out there is really wide, if you're willing to shell out $10 bucks for a CD. Be that online or regular small retail stores.
Somewhat off topic: Did you know that Amazon.com pays $7 for CDs in wholesale?
Internet and caffeine addicts unite - you have nothing to lose but your foam. Microsoft (MSFT) and coffee monolith Starbucks (SBUX) have agreed to jointly offer high-speed Internet connections in Starbucks stores throughout North America, the companies announced Wednesday.
Internet access will be made available over MobileStar Network's wireless broadband network, using Microsoft software and its MSN portal Web site and service, Starbucks, Microsoft and MobileStar said in a joint statement. The companies did not disclose any of the agreement's financial terms.
The in-store wireless service is expected to launch during the second quarter and will integrate Microsoft's.Net Internet appliance strategy, the companies said. The companies did not disclose what fee customers would be charged, if any, to access the wireless network so as to, for example, check e-mail over a skinny latte.
The partnership with Microsoft and MobileStar is part of an overall strategy by Starbucks to upgrade its operations, the companies said. Plans are in the works for a Starbucks customer card, which are intended to speed up orders, and eventually, the ability to preorder drinks over mobile phones, the companies said.
A small device attaches itself to your genitals. The early concept model is still in development, hence I cannot release the full feature details. But I must stress the fact that it uses recycled energy whenever there is friction involved. It comes standard with Anu-Tooth, which is the modified version of blootooth module and plugs right into the crack.
It's funny how nobody noticed who wrote the story.
Ben Motherfucking Mezrich. One of the best young fiction writers out there. According to the footnote it says he turned to writing non-fiction and his new book on this^ particular subject.
If you're unfamiliar with his works, I encourage anybody to check out Fertile Ground, Treshold and Reaper which rips on Microsoft-like organization and their set-top devices in a really good techno-suspense novel.
