Yes, next lets give up on URLs entirely too. When you want your friend to see a page you just found, why bother telling him the URL when you can just tell him to google for the 'really cool mostly purple page about penguins'
I've used CI Host before, and have always been happy with their setup and tech support. Also they play punk for hold music, which was neat.
However, their mail servers *will* forward mail that is not addressed to a pop account on their system, perhaps spammers have been using their servers for forging mails. Also, perhaps they do have customers that are spammers, in which case, if those customers are reported they should definatly be having their service discontinued.
When I was messing around with the compiler about 2 months ago, it was nothing more than the compiler to ARM binary. There was no actual SDK (libs,.h files). So you basically had to make you own SDK. There was some help through a cool.h file that I
found a the Pern Project that had all the addresses of things like where the video buffer started etc.
BTW that site is a good spot to get started GBA or Dreamcast programming.
I wish that I wasn't thrown in the same boat as these people that are posting CmdrTaco porn stories. On my first post I submitted to the wrong story and got Offtopic. Now with my -1 Karma, everything I post gets put to score 0, so can't even be heard. Any moderators that notice the parent, if you think it's not total crap, I could use some help in getting my karma back up to 0.
From the site: The archos.mod file is scrambled, but luckily not using encryption.
Each data byte is inverted and ROLed 1 bit. The data is then spread over four memory segments. The two least significant bits of the address is used as segment number and the rest as offset in the segment. So, basically:
A 6-byte header is added to the beginning of the scrambled image:
* 32 bit length (big-endian)
* 16 bit checksum
The Rockbox people have written and made available a
descrambler/scrambler for it.
How is this any different from the DECSS program that is illegal? Not that I really think DECSS should be illegal, but this seems to be near the same to me. Why isn't this deemed encryption, even if it's not a really hard tough form of encryption?
On slashdot, I see a lot of people with the opinion that virus writers won't bother to create a lot of virii for Linux, because they could affect a lot more people if they stick to writing for windows. If you ask me, this attitude of you can't hurt me nah nah nah nah, will at some point provoke them into turning a great deal of attention to trying to make us Linux users eat our words. So I'm thinking that shortly, although we have a better natural defence against virii, that we will be bombarded with quite a few new viruses.
I just bought a Vaio as well, I was pissed off when I found out that It did indeed have a winmodem, but finding the hsflinux drivers on the conextant page made me feel better than I would had I no working modem.
Also setting up this winmodem in linux was actually way easier than some winmodems I've set up in windows.
Also the GameCube mini-DVD's are written backwards from normal DVD's. I think it to do with faster load times, most likely as well as to make them incompatible with normal DVD drives.
Many will likey see our aversion to an OS that tries to prevent us from copying copyrighted material as just a bunch of theives being pissed off that we can't steal anymore.
While you can't say that none of us download movies on the second day they're in theaters, full albums before they're even in stores, and games that we didn't pay for, we need to be sure that it's understood that the reason that we are against DRM and most other things bitched about on/. is because they take away the freedoms that we have now to make our own choices, and NOT because we want to be able to steal.
Sorry about the run on sentences...:)

What if it the pole was made of diamond, would diamond compress?
I mean the structure of diamond is pretty sturdy..
