  1. Re:Totally Disagree on How Will Animals Look 250 Million Years From Now? · · Score: 1

    The best example to support the fact that "a virus wants to hurt its host as little as possible" would be, say, herpes simplex. I heard at one point that 80% of the entire world population carries it, and carriers will be carriers for life. Herpes simplex (note: -not- genital herpes) is probably the best virus in existance today, evolutionarily.

  2. Re:Wait up a second on Did Life Originate Underwater? · · Score: 1

    ANYTHING can be challenged. Evolution has been challenged. Gravity was challenged. This isn't new; just more evidence.

  3. What about non-gamers? on eDimensional Wired 3D Glasses Review · · Score: 1
    What excatly dictates whether something will have support for this? The goggles, the card, the game, the OS, two, or three, or all four?

    On a side note, I remember back in the day there was a series of games for win3.1 that was distributed with your old-skool red-blue goggles, and the game divided the graphics into red and blue. This was back in the day, so it wasn't great graphics, but it was a break from the usual. Also, no headaches with red-blue!

  4. Clarification? on BBS Links Database Back Online · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Could someone please explain what BBSes are used for now, in 2002? The Internet does a great job for warez and pr0ns of all sorts.

    Note to moderators: I'm not trolling, or being offtopic, or being flamebait. This can be a legit discussion.

  5. Let's work this out... on RadioShack Stops Being Nosy · · Score: 0
    It's not hard to understand this change. I doubt that Radio Shack, like other companies, has ever been concerned about your privacy, before or now. What they do care about, on the other hand, is money. This just goes to show you that asking for that information was freaking out a whole bunch of people that didn't come back (to buy more stuff). Like one other person noted, in Europe they were Tandy but apparently they died out.

    Step 1: More privacy
    Step 2: Less freak-outs
    Step 3: Profit!!

  6. BBC TV License? on "Smart" Billboards Debut in Sacramento · · Score: 1

    I've seen all these posts about how the BBC uses vans and the principle of heterodyning to sniff out people without a license. I don't live in the UK and I don't know anything about it, but I'm curious now. What's the scoop on TV licensing in the IK?

  7. good on Macromedia Applies For OSI Certification · · Score: 1

    Now maybe my flash plugin will work well. Every time I view some flash thing, it goes WAY too fast. If Macromedia appreciates open source maybe it won't write shit plugins for open source OSes. This may just be my thing - this didn't happen with Red Hat 7.1, but it does now with Mandrake 8.1.

    fridged(8)

    NAME
    fridged -- LG Internet Fridge server

    SYNOPSIS
    fridged [ -allowfatass ] [ -c config-file ]

    DESCRIPTION
    fridged is a refrigerator server for use with LG Appli-
    ances systems. Is is part of the standard Internet
    Fridge distribution. It implements the FOOD protocol
    described in RFC 9999.
    With no arguments, fridged will configure based on
    /etc/food.conf and listen on port 61453 (0xF00D) for
    food requests based on FOOD.
    fridged should be run as root to access /var/foodtab,
    the internal storage of food data.
    The list of clients authorized to take food is stored
    in /etc/food.conf.

    OPTIONS
    -allowfatass
    Allows FOOD clients to send multiple requests
    and stay-alive connections. By default, fridged
    will allow only a healthy number of connections
    by one client.

    -c config-file
    Uses config-file as the configuration file
    instead of default /etc/food.conf.

    FILES
    /etc/food.conf
    Default configuration file

    /var/foodtab
    Table of stored food

    fridge(8)

    NAME
    fridge -- LG Internet Fridge client

    SYNOPSIS
    fridge [ -e ] [-s food-server] food-requested

    DESCRIPTION
    fridge is a refrigerator client that sends food requests
    to a server implemeting the FOOD protocol described in
    RFC 9999. By default, fridge will send the requests to
    food://127.0.0.1 so you don't take things out of other
    peoples' fridged(8)'s. The FOOD server may require you
    to identify yourself and fridge will do so.

    OPTIONS
    -e
    Eat the whole frickin' thing you requested right
    here. God, you pig.
    An instance of fridged(8) run without using the
    -allowfatass option will not respond to requests
    using the -e option.

    -s food-server
    Connect to food-server instead of the default
    food://127.0.0.1

    food-requested
    The FID (food ID of the food requested). An
    RFC 9999 compliant fridge-server will look up
    a plaintext name of the food and use that FID.
