If you can name one person that made fun of you, or bullied you in high school 5 years after graduation you need to seek a shrink's help cause you don't know how to let go. trust me, the bully doesn't remember you.
I can name everyone in my graduating class. First and usually last name. It's about 4 years now since grad. Your shrink comment is utter bull. Here's two reasons why you may remember someone who picked on you: small class and a good memory. Neither means you need a shrink.
Ok, we have to different views of the use of honeytokens. I'm talking about putting them in places where I know only I myself will (should be) able to access them. Thus if it is accessed I know someone who doesn't have permission is in my system. Your talking about putting them somewhere to invite curious people to look at them. Two different things in my opinion. I agree in your way it reeks of entrapment.
As for allowing people on my system without my permission, obviously I meant people breaking in. And yes i have a firewall etc etc etc. However if this was the be all and end all of security there wouldn't be crackers now would thier? And yes i use Linux/Unix. RH 7.2 heavily patched and FreeBSD also kept up to date. Along with a Windows box I need for work.
Again I still find the mine/ravine anology funny and pointless (no offense). Putting a token somewhere your allowed to be is wrong but not why they should be in use. Putting a token where your NOT allowed to be is how it should be done.
As for people being curious, tough shit. You break the rules or the law, don't whine to me. The reason the world is going to hell in a hand basket is because people don't take responsibility for their actions. I'm as curious as anyone. It got me into shit in high school. I got punished. You want to access something that your not allowed/suppose to be/have no right to.....go ahead. Just don't complain if you get caught.
I don't see how it invites them. To see any honey tokens I have on my system people must ALREADY be in my system. Which is illegal without my permission. This isn't about inviting people to break in, its about catching those who have already.
For example. If I stick a file called creditcard-num in a directory as a honeytoken how do people know its there? hmm? They don't. They have to be doing something they aren't allowed to be doing in the first place.
As far as your park ranger analogy...*laughs* Planting a honey token is different then planting a mine (in more ways then one). The token won't actually DO anything. Its just a marker so you can see results of others actions. A mine hoever does actually DO something. Thats totally different.
"Along comes cds. Cds can be fairly easily and quickly copied. So they didn't complain about that cause they could lobby and get money tacked on to blank cds and they could drive album prices up to try to counter it. Along comes mp3; oh shit how are we going to tax it?"
I don't know about you but where I lived MP3's were in use long before CD-Burners had an affoardable price.
3 was bad I agree. 4 wasn't to hot. I just pretend its not Highlander and watch the fight scenes.
But worse then 2? No. Good God No. Its obvious someone who hated Highlander wrote, directed and produced it. And how, after reading the script, the convinced the actors to do it I don't know. I'm hoping they had some contract clause forcing them to make a sequel. Its the only way I don't lose any and all respect for every person in the movie.
Of course they are bad now. Your trying to watch something as an adult that gave you pleasure when watched as a child. Tastes change as you get older. I can't imagine myself at the age of 22 watching the smurfs, He-Man etc, playing cops with my finger as a gun, racing my collection of Hot Wheels across the kitchen. Just as at the age of 8 I can't see myself enjoying much of what I do now as an adult. (especially girls. no more cooties!;)
Will the kids who watched Teletubbies, Barney, the Power Rangers, etc still enjoy them as an adult? Doubtful. I hope not anyways.
Hows the saying go? "When I was a child I thought as a child, spoke as a child. But when I grew to be man I put away childish things."
I know just as many poor assholes as rich assholes. I also know nice guys with money and nice guys who couldn't affoard to waste a penny in a wishing well.
Discrimination is discrimination. Obviously your not a good choice either.
Did I say it was illegal to discourage people from buying their games? No, I said if they want to make a game based on someone elses copyright etc then do it legally. Get permission. Please, read what I actually type. Not what you think I did.
As for working on Worlds of Warcraft....I'd love to. Sounds like fun.
I don't recall anyone electing you to the exaluted position of Head Speaker for millions of people who don't know you from a hole in the ground.
Being a member of their 'core audience' I don't hate them. And as someone said, I doubt all those people who play they their games who've either never heard of linux or don't care, will suddenly stop playing some of the best games on the market over this. Bitch all you want but the FreeCraft makers brought this on themselves. Sure I think its a nice idea....but do it legally.
Its just like the whole music/mp3 thing. We want what we want and we want it now and free. If we don't get it we start whining about the big bad corperations. Anyone else get the mental picture of a little kid standing in the candy aisle screaming at its mother?
"That's like Radio Shack asking for your name and address when you come in to buy a fuse for your god damn CB radio. And look at RadioShack now... You might notice they DONT ASK anymore. There's a reason behind that."
Two days ago Radioshack asked for my name and such. I just gave him a fake one. *shrug*
APRAnet was the Internet's predocessor. It was developed by the government so in the event of a nuclear attack with obviosuly phone lines out (destroyed) there would be more then one route to follow. Academics got involved. The net evolved. Now we're getting high speed access to such illuminating sites as goatse.cx
If your already diabetic no amount of watching your diet or exercising will replace the fact your body CAN'T make insulin so you need an external source.
And diabetes isn't only a "fat person" thing. My mother, a diabetic is actually, and has been since before becoming one, a tad bit under weight for her height. Both sides of her family had diabetics which put her at a much higher risk then normal.
I don't know what you read. But the article I read wasn't hyping MS. He said in some ways Linux was better (say the registry of Win vs the file system of Linux for trouble shooting). And in some ways Windows is better. I thought it was pretty decent.
First of all. The FF series. FF on Nes got me into the whole genre. Its classic and I still play it on my Nes. Its been mentioned many times so anything else I say is redundent.
Dungeon Master when it came out on SNES. (never played the older computer versions). I love that game and I can't get enough. And it has a freakiness factor too. Hearing footsteps and such.
Starcraft and Quake 1. Both excellent but what really made these stand out in my mind is the fact they were the first games i really played much on a network or over the net. I had a buddy a few years older then myself who after HS came back as a comp tech. Him, me and another friend would come into the school after hours and play quake and SC into the wee hours of the morning. We owned. God I miss that.
A buddy and I worked with our comp tech our first year of HS for some vocational thing. something like 5 hours a week. Basically we cleaned dirty mice.
Later when we found out the default password on teacher's accounts was "teacher" (student accounts were student, it wasn't a great leap) we just had to brag to people. One of them got busted, ratted us out and my buddy lost 30% of his mark in that class cause he used skills taught to him by the tech. Yes, cleaning mice gave us that knowledge. (And no, I don't know why I didn't lose my mark.) I was also threatened with being charged. It was quite funny.
Next year, new techie, new principle and I was working with the tech and the same friend and I set up 3 new labs and wired one wing, wrote a program to generate random passwords for every account, and setup and ran the schools webserver for the next 3 years.
First of all our school tech was pretty damn cool and was totally into the idea. You definately need someone like a teacher to back your case.
Second, point out a way it might benefit the school. We set up a webserver on a computer not in use and maintained a webpage for our school. Also some of us, just for the experience, helped the tech on our own time just for experience. Wiring labs, setting up new software, etc etc.
Third, don't give em any reason to disban you. Don't screw around with stuff you don't have permission to, don't be running around the school, etc.
There's my advice.
"It is a common misconception it was based on Quake 2, but in fact it was based on Quake 2.
OMF YOU IDIOT - QUAKE 1 WAS THE BASE! HOW COME SO MANY PEOPLE GET THIS WRONG!??!?"
When you flame someone, proofreading is always a good idea. Nothing makes you look like more of an ass then calling someone an idiot with mistakes in your post. Just a little FYI
Slashdot Mirror
How is stealing his personal property and posting it to the net so untold numbers of people can laugh at him....how pray tell, is that parody?

"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
Been bugging me all day, theres the correct quote.
Agreed. Something else that kinda bothered me was when they killed those immortals at the beginning. That sure looked like holy ground to me.
3 was bad I agree. 4 wasn't to hot. I just pretend its not Highlander and watch the fight scenes.

Thats not what I heard. You were under the hard deck. It doesnt count.

And if they told you to bugger off you tell em to shut up since its legal tender and they have to by law accept it.
Also a Canuk.
If your already diabetic no amount of watching your diet or exercising will replace the fact your body CAN'T make insulin so you need an external source.
And diabetes isn't only a "fat person" thing. My mother, a diabetic is actually, and has been since before becoming one, a tad bit under weight for her height. Both sides of her family had diabetics which put her at a much higher risk then normal.

"management cl00bie saying "oh shit, our webserver is listening on port 80, we must have been hacked!""
/sarcasm
"sendmail is port 25. Port 80 is http."
Glad you cleared up his misconception that its not the webserver on port 80 but in fact http.
Go back and read the post. The webserver comment and the send mail comment were different.
