Re:Didnt detect my RealPlayer (me too!)

Here's a chunk of code to detect stuff. This is from 'detect.php' which is what gets called when u click on the '100' or '300' button for "select your bandwidth". detect.php gets called as:
/detect.php?speed=300 << if you clicked the '300' button.
var RealPlayerG2=false; var real=false;
function navPlugins() {// Detect plugin for Netscape
var plugs = navigator.plugins;
for (var i=0; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++) {
if (plugs[i].name.indexOf("Real") != -1) real=true;
} }
function openClip() {// checking plugin
var newloc="real_err.php";
if (nav || opera) navPlugins()
else if (ie && mac) ieMacPlugins()
else if (ie && RealPlayerG2) real = true;
if (real) {
newloc="playfree.php";
}
document.location = newloc; }
The BODY onLoad event calls openClip() which does the checks (I snipped the IE check code for brevity). Then if the checks found Real, then it should open 'playfree.php'. But i can't seem to get playfree.php to do much. I'll hack some more, unless another/. netizen beats me to it.
Notice how those with mass-failure experiences are all using the ATA/IDE Desktar line. Yet, those with mass-success experiences are (most likely) using the higher-end Ultrastar (SCSI!) line.
I am most certain this is NOT a coincidence. Folks, I know SCSI is more expensive, but as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for". Yes, Yes, yes, I know...other IDE/UltraATA manufacturers don't have this failure rate. Western Digital is by FAR my favorite IDE manufacturer. For SCSI, (read: high speed, low temp, QUIET, and damn reliable), I choose IBM's UltraStar line any day. They're all made OEM by other manufacturers (quantum, fujitsu, etc) but they are made to IBM's specs. An IBM drive by Quantum is not a Quantum drive. I spoke to a few IBM SSD guys about that about 2 years ago because I was very curious.
So please... Don't bash all of IBM because the low-end products fail. Enjoy!
Perhaps due to the javascript features I have turned off, but this data url sample did not work for me using build 2002041607, a nightly build from yesterday. Perhaps this has already been fixed.. either way, SAMPLE != ITWORKSFORME.
PAN has yenc support in the latest dev code, however it's pretty rough. 0.11.3 is gonna have it fixed tho i think. if you're looking for a great gtk news reader, this is it! 100% gnksa approved too. been using it for a while now.

actually NT stands for New Technology. in the sense of full 32bit memory management and address space, concept of "rings" to pull apps away from the core kernel and into what we call "userland". NT was a detraction from the norm at the time (os/2 and win3.1). os/2 had good stuff. it's now part of NT (3.51 at the time). NTFS == HPFS (in 3.51, improved upon in 4.0). also gives us various permissions, multi-user, true multitasking, networking, extendable networking model (ipx, ip, netbeui, dlc, whatever else u wanna write).
all in all, not a bad idea: on paper:) we all know how the real-life implementation turned out. but they were/are still learning.
>sigh i guess this will resurrect the tired old.NET v. mono flames and wars again? oh well... i guess we gotta have SOMETHING to do during the last few days of our recession, eh?
speaking of which, saw a report last week that the recession here is fading and some speculate it might be over!! wooo!! go economy!! wooo!
oops, that was off-topic..crap...
ok this is just insane! so microsoft can influence the IHVs too? >sigh< i guess the answer "don't buy it" isn't viable? how about we get some l33t hardware dudes into it and see if they can't fix it:)
well, the thing is, jus this past week, a buddy of mine and i had a laptop with the orinoco card, the home-built extended antenna and the appropriate access-point snooping software. we drove down the main street in one of the local college towns. just so happened to be driving by frat houses and local businesses when we found 30 open APs in a 2 mile stretch. we gracefully hopped onto a few and we were browsing internet sites at stop lights up and down the street;) so yeah, frat houses have WLANs these days it seems...
folks...you all are apparently not networking and security experts. the 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/24 networks are merely RFC1918 reserved blocks. as are a ton of other blocks. get Robert Zeigler's "Linux Firewalls" book from New Riders to see all of them. either v1 or v2 is acceptable.
these blocks are perfectly routable. try it. setup test networks. you can route them JUST fine. they are perfectly legal ip's too. you can use them for serial connections on point-to-point t1 or frame relay sync interfaces. you can use them for small isolated networks where you don't need hosted services [office networks, private lans behind VPN gateways].
these are merely RESERVED addresses. i get so irritated seeing and hearing everyone refer to these blocks as "Illegal" and "Unroutable". read the rfc for once! stop spreading misinformation! sheesh...
Anyone know what we, the lowly geeks and freedom-fighters, can do to either..."stop" this mess or find a nice way to inform these "leaders" that these kinds of treaties and laws are not only evil but (in the USA) unconstitutional?
Or let me guess..it's just something we have to live with?
I've written my letters to Gloria Blue back when this was being thought about way back when. What else can we do, PEACEFULLY...?
microsoft is the oil to our water. we do not form a symbiotic relationship, we do not rely on each other, and for fuck's sake, microsoft is gonna die over the next 4-6 years anyway!
microsoft is no threat to open source. open source that embraces microsoft is a threat to open source!
why should we, open source developers, bend over backwards to play by microsoft's rules? we're only going to get bitten in the end.
i used samba religiously for years [until i converted everything to linux at work and home]. i have seen microsoft do nothing but change their own standards, api's, and policies to better benefit them while simultaneously shutting out others who could have benefitted from those standards.
i have a SUPER l33t programmer friend of mine. he's a win32 developer and is about as l33t as they come! with each new version of visual studio, his older code suddenly doesn't compile, or he has to make severe rewrites to the code to comply with the new release. not to mention the bugs IN VISUAL STUDIO he has found!
the difference with that versus gcc is he has no way to get patches from other l33t coders to fix the package. he can't get updates except only by the beast's permission. and everything requires ie5/5.5 or ie6 now, too. it's absolutely ridiculous.
my solution to the problem:
if the microsofties are unable and unwilling to lay down their evil ways and convert over, fine. don't execute them [we're not 16th century anymore!], but don't play with them. same goes for the sun/java thing the apache group is fighting. make our own like we've always done. why do we need to use these tools which are not open (and i don't mean BSD/X11/MIT license)... why do we need to rely on microsoft technologies all of a sudden?
we've grown up and past this mess and our world has grown IMMENSELY in the past 10 years. faster than any other group or organization EVER!
if.net is indeed that useful, then write our own derivative. you know microsoft is NOT going to let an OSS developer write.net code and have it run on the microsoft.net platform! if you think that, then you are a microsoftie! if you are that ignorant and blind, then you are a microsoftie!
why should we play nice with them when they refuse to return the favor? take our toys with us and go home. to hell with the spoiled unintelligent microsoftie brats...they're useless anyway. hopefully the laws of natural selection will kick in and they will wither away soon..
yeah, for the mid-eastern US folks, tonite's show was great. i wouldn't say 800/hr but it was easily 6-10/min [which equates to about 600/hr i guess.. ok so i failed algebra class].
a great show indeed! too bad it will be 98 years before i can see it again [yes i do plan to live for another 100 years! r00t!]
i will have to agree with cally..
however, i was a bit lucky and was able to stand behind my house on my deck [elevated 30 feet:)]. using my house to block the street light was a major improvement! tonite's show was great! most activity in the southern and eastern skies with a few large showers around vega overhead.
all of this is on the eastern coast in mid-east.
a great show indeed!
