  1. Re:Nice try Beryllium on Closed Gnutella System to Prevent Bandwidth Hogs · · Score: 1

    I think maybe he noticed something about the IP address, maybe, considering that I posted the comment for you. I dunno. That's what his tone indicated, at least.

    IN YOUR FACE, Hand Solo. :)

  2. Re:Trouble with AS Perl on ActiveState Founder Steps Aside · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the tip :) I'd rather use BASH than cmd.exe any day :)

  3. Re:FORTRAN? on Is FORTRAN Still Kicking? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I did once use C++ to make a little tool for my webserver. It would allow me to use the web to stop and restart some services (MUSCLE, mainly). Worked great ... but I suspect it would've been easier to code in PHP :)

  4. Camera? on DraganFly III Gyro-stabilized RC Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Does it come with a video camera and wireless video receiver?

    That would be fun :) Aerial surveillance and photography and stuff would be a neat little hobby :) (Hella expensive, though, I bet)

  5. Re:Trouble with AS Perl on ActiveState Founder Steps Aside · · Score: 1

    Meh ... this was three years ago. I simply don't use perl any more, so I don't need it installed ...

    Maybe in a month or two I'll look into it again.

  6. Re:Trouble with AS Perl on ActiveState Founder Steps Aside · · Score: 1

    Yeah, in this case, I tend to agree with you :)

    Granted, I tried it ~3 years ago, and never since. I just don't use perl very much.

  7. Trouble with AS Perl on ActiveState Founder Steps Aside · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've always had problems getting ActiveState Perl to work in Windows. Maybe it was the fault of the OmniHTTPd server, I dunno. Ah well.

    More copyright crap, eh? Ah well. Ease your mind. Pretend each bad guy is a lawyer.

    Ozone was opensourced on SourceForge, check it out here.

  11. Ozone! on Closed Gnutella System to Prevent Bandwidth Hogs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now would be a good time to plug the free, recently-opensourced Ozone file sharing program. It interfaces with MUSCLE/BeShare servers to allow people to share files without worries of AdWare and SpyWare and junk like that.

    Ozone - Available for Linux, Windows, and OS X.

    Beryllium's BeShare Server - use "Beryllium.BeShare.Com" inside of Ozone to check it out!

    Enjoy :)

  12. Reservoir Dogs! Pulp Fiction! on IMAX Develops Movie Transfer Technology · · Score: 1

    From Dusk Til Dawn would be fun on IMAX :) Or John Carpenter's Vampires. That one would be cool :)

  13. Re:FORTRAN? on Is FORTRAN Still Kicking? · · Score: 1

    Well, I won't argue with that. It's nowhere near the programming language that C++ is. I like it, though, because it gets results. It's quick and painless to build a nice database-driven website with a decent visual appearance, whereas making a good-looking GUI app in C++ (or even a website using C++ :) can be an excercise in futility for inexperienced programmers.

    Anyway. I like PHP because it gets results, and because I haven't decided to take that final leap and actually learn how to program GUIs in C++. :) Oh well, once summer's over, I'll jump off that building. :)

    Hmm ... what does any of this have to do with CmdrTaco? :)

  16. Re:FORTRAN? on Is FORTRAN Still Kicking? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, yeah, I know. Shameless plugging. :)

    To be a bit on-topic, however - I've never used FORTRAN, so I don't know what its benefits are. I've used QBasic, VB, Visual DialogScript (a Delphi offshoot), C++ (Both VC++ and "regular" linux/BeOS C++), and now I've been playing with PHP.

    I really like PHP. It's fun. :)

    For anyone wondering, I wasn't going for Karma. Trying to drum up hits for my website, mostly.

    What I would really like is for the Ozone/BeShare file sharing service to get more users. I mean, it's free, there's no advertising, and once it gets a few hundred more users, it'll have all the files you could possibly want.

    Oh, and did I mention that it runs under Linux, Windows, and OS X?

    But I thought that in the US you would get arrested and charged for showing that systems had vulnerabilities? I mean, that WarTalking case doesn't exactly inspire the White-Hat Hackers to continue in their good deeds, does it?
