Just called by my girlfriend... power company changed out our meter 10 minutes ago. She can't bring up the server (not sure what is wrong). Bookmark it, or find a google cache, or wait til 6pm EST.
A file is a stream of bytes, right? What if I write a small proxy application, that chops the file into 120 (or even a random number) of identically sized pieces. Rearranges them, along with a header that says (120 pieces, order:119,5,3,27....). When the next person wants to download from me, it breaks it into 164 pieces, wraps it in a header with containing the order.
This could be done on the fly.
Even hashing file fragments won't work, as most of the pieces will overlap the fragment hashing boundaries. It's simple, quick, and impossible to stop.
I think you mean IIP, it's on sourceforge somewhere. Check out this one.
Currently, I'm looking for about half a dozen network savvy BSD or linux people outside the USA (who would be free to invite other users or router admins after a probationary period). I also have a few slots open for users (any OS) who would like to build some kind of content (ranging from opening an IRC channel, to websites, or even help writing custom software). Domain names are free, static IPs, no restrictions of any kind.
Today's Internet uses IPv4, the 4th version of the Internet Protocol. (Versions 1 through 3 never made it out of the lab. Neither, for that matter, did Version 5.)
No. Third version of the networking protocol (NCP was the first, in use til '83, then ipv4). Simply that when they needed a new protocol number, the first 5 had been used already. 5, if I remember correctly is ST/ST2. Seems like the earlier numbers are weird multicasting experiments and such (not to be confused with IP protocol numbers, where 6 is TCP).
How am I supposed to read this garbage, when he can't even get that right?
Those that meet their quota of referrals graduate to the amway program?
Fuck the greedy sellout whores. They're the ones giving the RIAA its power (complete with the delusion that they are an actual law enforcement agency), and lord knows the RIAA had its chance to do right by us. They flunked. They have alot to make up for, simply doing it right isn't enough anymore, and I don't expect any kind of reparations.
Ah. There you fail to see the genius of the Schwarzenegger strategy. He only has to be a natural born citizen at the time of the election. What's that you say, he can't be born another time, over here?
Not needed. Austria simply has to become part of the United States.
Unlikely? I must agree. But this is perfect, it can be Commando II, a new big-budget political documentary. He single-handedly invades Austria, conquers it, installs himself as dictator. The box office revenue goes to fund his future presidential campaign. In the meantime, he petitions for statehood on behalf of Austria, overseas the ratification of a state constitution.
Now, as soon as Austria is state #51, he is set. Having been born there, in a bonafide state, he is eligible.
Oh. And btw, even Richard Dawson or Carl Weathers will be a state gov next (not sure which)...;)
If they wanted to defeat spam even a little bit, this would be a free, mandatory upgrade to Exchange. They might even donate open source implementations to other clients and server.
Within a few months, after all the griping and bitching (or maybe not, if they actually fixed something)about mandatory patches, the problem would die.
Spam is about forcing things through open relays and gross scriptkiddyish hacks... what happens when my SMTP claims it already has performed the computation?
More so, there are some legit (needle in haystack) bulk mailers... the few technical mailing lists I'm signed on for shouldn't be made to invent a new non-email protocol.
And this totallu fails to focus on non-email spam. It will simply migrate to slashdot spam, to AIM spam...
This problem is a problem of human nature. Until little children who think its ok to sell things to others when there is no interest, are tortured nearly to death, we can't solve this.
Sell something real. You get to live in a better world, make money, and I'll come to you!
Redundant? It's one of the first 20 comments, I believe. No one even knows what a Bebox is, in all likelyhood. No other trolls can even manage the level of technically correct trollery that I can whip out in a microsecond!
I demand you re-moderate this as the troll (or possibly flamebait) that it is.
Oh, and just in case anyone has a bebox they'd like to find a good home for, please consider me for the role of caretaker. I refuse to try BeOS until I can run it on the real hardware...
#1 Stability - Windows 2000 fixes this, relatively speaking. Still, it wasn't even targeted to me, the home user. Figures.
#2 Webserver - I've been known to run a website off my cable modem, and while Windows could handle this, the 10 concurrent connections thing is ridiculous. They can't figure out how to license it to make money, without making is useless to me, that's their problem. And don't even get me started on IIS/PWS exploits.
#3 Command line - It's taken a few years for me to become competent with it... but I never want to go back to the control panel bullshit. I don't why they're so scared of it, short of being ashamed of dos.
#4 Developer tools - Let's face it, I'll never be a kernel hacker. The little coding I do, does suck, and that will never change. But I can, with so many languages, I couldn't even list them all. And for free. Compare this to $600 for a non-crippled Visual Studio. C'mon... something is wrong here. No provision is made for the hobbyist developer. Trying to wring money out of someone that is constantly broke like I am, or maybe even a teenager, just so they can write little doodad programs, it stinks. Hell, maybe even a crippled VS would do, if it were free. Even command line tools. The only guy I know who can honestly be called a guru, says that he might never have tried linux, if there had been some sort of hobbyist Visual C in win3.11/95...
#5 You never innovate. Ever. Just steal ideas... I can think of 20 things off the top of my head that windows could improve, if it cared to. For brevity's sake, here's one example: Why can I only copy/paste one thing at a time? I'd much rather have a queue-based copy, so that it doesn't overwrite the last clipboard object. To select which to paste, hold the control, and keep tapping V until my correct paste appears. This is so simple, so obvious, that a loser like me sees it. Why can't the geniuses at M$? And don't even start with the little graphical widget in Office, not only is it Office specific, but it's the wrong idea. Duh.
Computers can't exist outside of "production enviroments"? It's silly to write software that isn't strictly useful in your spartan sense of the word?
You don't have to tell me that the Amiga is dead, I know. That you're an idiot is understandable, but don't take it out on me. No one is offering the Amizilla guys a medal, whether they deserve it or now, but even if they were, you don't have to complain about it. Be polite, and wait for the next slashdot story that interests you, which I suppose would be something along the lines of "SCO wins legal victory against Amiga Inc, for copyright infringement in the workbench code!".
I think you have it all backwards. The people doing the coding, they get to deicide what is more or less worthwhile.
Ijits on slashdot, who likely have never seen an Amiga (and despite the contest rules, UAE doesn't count), shouldn't go dissing what was once an awesome computer.
I have 5 or so Amigas, and the only thing that makes my interest so slight is lack of an ethernet card for them. $100+ for 10baseT on ebay is absurd, even by my standards.
That is wrong. They should be allowed to collect their debts from Saddam. After all, he got the money.
Iraq never did. I don't see how Iraq should be liable for Saddam's debts, especially seeing how France and Germany had a hand in keeping Saddam in power.
Random note: The guerillas over there should be called "saddamites" in my opinion.... rather fitting.

Now you're starting to make me believe. I like the system for eliminating innnocent websites, and needing some type of majority (which can't be forged easily) to attack.
But what about the legal angle? The only thing lower than a spammer is a lawyer... and lord knows they go on the lawsuit rampage often enough suing blacklist services and whatnot.
Any thoughts?

Can we hit them hard enough, often enough to make a difference?
Or will they move to new webhosts like a cockroach scuttling underneath the fridge when the light comes on?

First, let me say I like your attitude, even if you aren't all that bright.
But this would last all of 10 hours before we started getting spams with embedded anti-spam website URLs. They already use similar tactics. They'd simply use shill email addresses for contacts, or overseas phone numbers.
So using "it's unlawful" as some kind of defense of the monster that the subhuman blight of nature that is Milosevic is.... would be quite funny, if the subject were not nearly so grim.
If it takes anarchy to get rid of that fucker, or some sort of UN jack-booted fascism... then I'll at least tolerate it for now.

Actually, it was the poles, if I remember. When their country was about to go down, they smuggled the thing out of Poland, and gave it to the british.
I guess everyone likes to steal credit, eh?
