    Are you crazy!? Did you know that if you leave DHCP enabled, remote computers can change your IP address?

    Not really... Not on 95/98/ME, anyway. The check to see whether or not you can do this is done in the program itself. With a simple hex editor (or edit.exe, if set in binary mode), you can change where it looks for this key, and gain full access to the registry and fix up the rest of the policies from there.

    Well, one thing that's preventing me from dropping whatever my current inbox may be to in favor of gmail is the fact that I still seem to be unable to actually GET a gmail account...

  10. Re:That's great and all, but.. on 'Cut and Paste' Is Out, 'Pick and Drop' Is In · · Score: 1

    Still though, the :CueCat (I think that's how it's 'spelled', I'm not in the mood to go downstairs and look at mine) was really more of a novelty type thing. I could see this system being very useful. I've actually come to favor the pick and drop system that I can do on my mac (saves me having to hit Command-C and Command-V), and to have the ability to do this across computers would be very nice. If you've ever worked with multiple computers at once, you can know how aggrevating it gets when you can't data and drop data across the two computers with one input device.

    I just wrote a quick Perl script to convert your sig from a whitespace-seperated list of hex numbers to a string, so I believe *I'M* the one with too much free time.

    [inuchance@inuBook ~/perl]$ echo "49 20 68 61 76 65 20 74 6F 6F 20 6D 75 63 68 20 66 72 65 65 20 74 69 6D 65 2E" | ./hex2str.pl

    What are you talking about? AOL discs ARE useful! I carry one around with me almost everywhere, in case I need a portable mirror or something.

    Plus, some of these AOL premium CDs I have came in nice little paper cases, which I can reuse for blank CDs that were bought in bulk on a spool.

    Oooh, so THAT explains why there's no Mac version.

    Seriously, I haven't seen any spyware on my mac yet (Nor on my Windows machine actually, but I avoid IE and "free" software a lot). In fact, even DiVX pro, which is spyware for windows now, is only a 15-day trial on Mac. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, though, because it probably does...

    Jesus had a father who was a god and a mother who was mortal, just like Hercules did. I think that Jesus should be considered a half-god like Hercules was. Hercules could probably beat Jesus in a fight- I mean, you couldn't kill Hercules just by nailing him to a wooden cross.

    Maybe, but then God would kick Zeus's ass.

  25. Re:Sign me up! on Good News From The High-Speed Networking Front · · Score: 2, Interesting

    True, but the last couple random decisions @Home/ATTBI/Comcast/whatever made were pretty good, I think. A while back, they increased the upstream from 0.13 Mbps to 0.26 Mbps (Numbers obtained directly from my modem's configuration pages), and recently from 1.8 Mbps downstream to 3.2 Mbps.

    Then again, I have had some troubles with my modem, mostly outage related. For example, the @Home to ATTBI transition lasted about half a week IIRC, and so my modem was down that entire time. Also, every now and then, my modem's upstream will cut out for about 30 seconds at a time as it regains block sync or whatever it is that cable modems do.
