  1. Re:Remember when... on Remembering the BBS · · Score: 1
    (remember LOAD=HIGH?)

    That's DOS=HIGH I think ....

    I think I pushed it to around 620k in my system's prime

    Ahhh, brings back memories of tweaking QEMM for hours on end to free that extra few kb of upper memory blocks.

    And not to mention the fact that putting ram in certain upper memory blocks would cause certain programs to stop working, so it was a choice between that and more memory ... :)

    Anyway, Thats the reason I kept win 3.1 for a long time after 95 came out.

    Anyway, in the end, long file names became too common. It became so that I couldnt extract a simple zip file a friend gave me without filename conflicts.

    Anyway, enough tripping down memory lane. Im just a kid :). To the future, _Always_.

    Lastly, Firewire is due for a speed bump very soon.

    You must live in some strange place. Where I come from, speed bumps are those round things that jar your spine when you aren't looking ...

  8. Wait a minute ... on Targeted Worm Hits Kazaa's Network · · Score: 1
    This isnt a worm.

    A real worm would do something like pretend to be an update and get the host to download an infected version of the client.

    Hmm, sounds Familiar doesn't it ...

  9. Re:It sucked. on The Truth Revealed · · Score: 1
    That explains a lot. It must have started as smoking for er, um "creative" purposes.

    By the end, they clearly used too much of it and lost their minds.

  10. The slashdot herd of sheep ... on Senator Prevents Action on Online Privacy Bill · · Score: 3, Interesting
    ... goes stampeding all over again.

    Seriously, all they seem to need is a perceived threat to privacy ("Senator Prevents Action on Online Privacy Bill"!!) even if the same bill was critized a while go on slashdot, and is sponsored by the senator from disney.

    Please, follow someof the links before jumping in to agree with the post ...

    Hollings pro-privacy, Hollings good !?!?

  13. Creepy stuff on Security Focus on Cable Modem Uncapping · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone else find this rather creepy ? Submitted the previous comment without a subject. Whoops. Found at the bottom of http://www.iscentral.org/~tcniso/main/oneStep.htm On a final note, the server install is approximately 23 megabytes (what the heck ?), and we have put some extra security features in. Since we know you should be online when you try to run the software, every time the software is started up, it will use a unique software key to download a special authorization pack from the website. The software must have this pack in memory before it can properly run. The unique key is generated from your hardware MAC Address and must have that same address to be able to function. All keys will have to be created by a special generator. This will also allow us to only let others use this software when we want them to, incase we need to shut it down or to upgrade. Server should upgrade easy. I have put a lot of time into this software and am very glad its finally a reality.
