early 1995, Slack 2.1; it was on a nightowl CD I had picked up for my BBS...I still have the CD, and it still worked as of 2 years ago. I installed it, IIRC, because I wanted to check out a new Linux BBS package (YA-BBS? can't remember); I was getting irritated with Renegade and fossil drivers. I think it took me around 2 weeks to get slack running, working on it around 2-3 hours a night, most of the time spent on Xfree. The BBS software was a bust, but I ended up using the system as a print/FAX server for about 6 months; I had an ancient panasonic 24 pin printer that LOVED slack, for some reason it went to town on elaborate fonts, it was turning out prints indistinguishable from a laser printer (yes, I know thats impossible). I stuck with Solaris, HP-UX & Xenix (yark) after that, until I got interested in something I had read about Mandrake, around v.8 I think; Since then I've always had at least 1 Debian system doing something. When it gets to the point that I can't make Win2k do what I want I'll probably fully convert.
Both TOR and I2P have hidden networks only accessible if you are using the client. Interestingly, they both also have Freenet 0.5 gateways. When it looked like Freenet 0.5 was going to die (which it's not, people are going back to it from 0.7 in droves), I did quite a bit of testing on both TOR & I2P; I2P is MUCH more anonymous than TOR, in default configuration.
I had the file copy issue down to a cyclical DRM checking bug; it seemed to affect all file transfers across the board, regardless of tool used. However, since I'm at home and not at my office, and only at the midpoint of my 1st cup of coffee, I shouldn't even be posting. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.
I've been doing a lot of testing on Win2k8, listening in dark corners, etc. I've heard buzz that they are going to release a Corporate level only workstation version of windows 2008; since Win2k8 actually doesn't suck (how it manages that with the Vista kernel at it's heart is beyond me), it could prove interesting, if true.
Not Tranquility, Serenity. As a member of both the Colbert nation and the Brownshirts, I'm torn. But, since it is essentially a toilet, I think Colbert should get the honors; Serenity should be the name of a spacegoing vessel.
The way i did it; I worked up plans for "Network Active Countermeasures" and filed a provisional patent, which is only $75. I knew that I couldn't afford to do a patent, and I didn't want to make it publicly available because it could easily be used as a censorship tool.
Damn. That really is insightful. But, perceive for a moment, my problem: I grew up in extremely rural southern Illinois; while I have vague recollections of watching ST on my parents Black and white TV during first run (I was 6 or so), I didn't really get into it until I was 14. I purchased a ungodly large UHF antenna so I could pick up the broadcasts from st. Louis; I bought all the James Blish novelizations. I bought, frankly everything there was, sometimes 2, like the technical blueprints; there was a time, and I'm not kidding here, that you could put me at any spot in the NCC-1701 and I could tell you exactly where I was; I could identify any episode from 5 random seconds of dialogue. I grew up, kinda. got a life, jobs, kids, etc. I thought Next Generation was sad, and pussified, but still watched it. I stopped buying stuff. I can no longer even tell you the writers of some of the episodes. The movie, for me, is going to suck. there is no way it can NOT suck. it's anti-canon. No one on this or any other planet can possibly bring to Kirk what Shatner brought to Kirk. The only way I would ever possibly enjoy the premise of this movie is CGI or animation, because it's just farking impossible to do Star Trek with different actors correctly.
I hadn't noticed, but yeah, where is the love for nyud? It's always the first thing I try to pull up a non-loading site; I've also used it as a form of cheap file mirroring.
Hang on a sec. I want to get this straight. I get the sense that what you are saying is that having a advertisement on TV pushing sugar frosted flakes is equally bad for children as Russian paysites featuring 10 year olds getting screwed? I think may, just maybe, you have a little problem with judgment.
Why not just get a palm TX? WiFi, Bluetooth, Opera Mini with a very little work, thousands of free useful apps, thousands of cheap useful apps, Watch TV on your breaks, listen to music, make Voip calls, grab a Bluetooth keyboard to keep at your desk, use it as remote for the TV's that always seem to be in libraries these days, etc, etc, etc. Just don't expect Palm to ever update it to work with CDMA phones. grrr.
I really hate to say this. Because I'm a big hater of big government, I support Freenet 0.5, anonymity and privacy. But things are a little TOO free in Belarus and some of the other Ex-soviet states when it comes to Child Pornography; when you have plain old unsecured websites with for-pay preteen sex shows that have been operating for years without problems, something is WRONG.
Never heard of firewalls? I sort of like TPF, myself. around version 2, the later ones were just toooo weird. Of course, I have a habit of layering firewalls, and not trusting the DMZ to be the stopping point of an attack. To be fair, we never allowed any sort of privileged access via the internet; almost every outward facing port was closed.
I don't disagree with what your saying, but I don't think thats the main reason people should go for a NT based solution. I really, seriously think its the Trained Chimp factor. If you set up a NT network properly, lock it down, and make sure someone with a clue looks in on it every once in a while, you can have a much lower pricepoint trained chimp fix the day to day problems; sure, there will be more day to day problems, but your chimps are a lot cheaper, and easier to find. Also, I had a lot of problems trying to work with earlier versions of Samba; I imagine a lot of other people did, as well, it's going to take a while to get over the distrust.
While I wouldn't automatically shriek with horror at seeing a NT 4 SP6 server in a production environment, I might sort of wonder if the people running the thing might be better off with a Win2kSP4 server. I ran literally one of the largest NT4 backed networks in the world (military) for a while, and liked it just fine, but you have to admit it had some serious problems. Besides, you can play game4s on Win2k. NT sucked for gaming.
The Beta is pretty cool, and is to my eyes as nimble as XP. However, they recently released a list of some of the crap that is going to be in the release version; it could, conceivably be faster than Vista when it releases, but there is no chance it will be as nimble as XP.
I really wish that more game developers would go procedural; the concept has been around forever (or at least since Strike Commander) and could go a long way towards enhancing replayability. I don't think we are going to see the one thing that I PERSONALLY THINK is the thing most needed, however; a end to sloppy code, relying on gigantic libraries, etc. We need a Chris Sawyer for the year 2009; programming in assembly, using OpenGL, Procedural synthesis, and capable of making use of a distributed computing mesh. GTA-V should be able to fit on one CD (with room to spare) and be able to play on a mid-range PC.
That sounds pretty sensible. The publication gets the ad from the
advertiser, the advertiser gets the image from the photographer, the
photographer is the only person realistically in a position to get
proof of age.
Let me, however, tell you about something I'm running in to on a
slightly similar subject.
I do CGI semi-pro; I've done some work on local-type commercials,
character creation, meshing & modeling, stuff on that
line.
A old friend of mine does adult websites; she saw some of the work I
did, and asked me to do some animations and pic sets for a few of my
characters.
Here is the problem: the characters she picked to "star" in the
animation? they could be mistaken for teenagers. They were originally
fairy-types, and look young; the law, as it stands this week, says that
if you misrepresent an older model as being underage, the image is
illegal; if the model is underage, it's illegal. with a real model no
problem, you just get proof of ID; with a virtual model that is sort of
impossible.
SO, there is, as far as I can tell, no way to CYA with a CGI model,
even if the model is a withered old granny-type; there is no way to
"prove" age.

it IS possible to run IE7 & chrome on Win2k (The One True Operating System); but why? Firefox, or seamonkey.
