> How are they stored, anyway? in an enum? or some sort of array? I suppose they only store the most recent moderation done to a comment, as an enum, and then the score as a byte or something. How hard would it actually be to add a moderation option?
hmmm, I hear this slashcode thing might be able to give you some insight (no pun intended) on that issue
Not usually, because the administrator is the recovery agent from what I remember. Which means that with an administrator password, all the data on EFS is compromised. I hope it's strong for anyone who actually relies on it...
I just came back from the remote kickoff in SJ...

FIRST 2003 Kick-Off

This year the game is completely different. It has changed wonderfully to make the game much more challenging this year.
First of all, after the first 15 seconds in which human players are allowed to distrubute boxes as they will. This is immediatly followed by 15 seconds in which the robots must act on their own, after this (*lunges for controls) you may control the robot.
The scoring system is also quite interesting this year. For any boxes in your scoring zone you take the tallest pile and take the height (in boxes) of the pile, that is your multiplyer, you then multiply all the other boxes by that, plus 25 per robot in the center, and that is your teams score.
If you win a match, you get the other team's score times 2, plus your own score. The other team get's just their score unaltered.
This game is unlike any before it, I think they are really trying to get these games better. Especially the autonomus part... should provide a challenge.
The defect jelly beans are known as belly flops. Imagine jelly beans now put two of the together in interesting ways, or take one and mold it in your mind into cool little shapes. Naturally most of them are larger than the average Jelly Bean, now imagine bags of them really cheap! You usually get lots of the sour flavors too! Yum!
This is perfectly accurate. As far as we can tell, PacBell has the equipment sitting in the CO waiting to be connected, they just wouldn't use it until this happened their way. As much as I hate to see another monoply grow and the baby bells get really powerful again, I am glad that it is likly we will now get DSL. The horrors of dial-up will hopefully be a thing of the past.
I just wish it wasn't at the risk of another monoply. But I seem to have no other choice, which should shout a warning. I won't leave much of an excerise to the reader to figure out what I mean.
The thing is... is Microsoft has the DCMA behind them. Yes, the same DCMA that makes it illegal to circumvent copy-right protections. Which is what microsoft will call pallidum. This is not just some extra software.
So, for open source to survive it must not be put in a position where it must circumvent Pallidum to run. If it does... it will become illegal.
These people seem to make it as hard as possible, Contact us: Public.Affairs@ta.doc.gov which is of course linked to Public_Affairs@ta.doc.gov not Public.Affairs@ta.doc.gov. I am sure they do this knowing full well that most people would copy-and-paste this into an e-mail and not click a mailto: link and expect it to bring up certain web-based e-mails Yahoo (the patch to fix this is only for IE), hushmail, etc . Or for some linux users, they don't have the browser set-up to work with their e-mail client... Anyways, the contact address is Public_Affairs@ta.doc.gov and not Public.Affairs@ta.doc.gov
I agree there will probably be many ways to break DRM & Palladum. Unfortunatly doing so would turn all of those who would use this technology into criminals under the DMCA. I should not have to be branded a criminal to operate the software I chose. The point could be argued that eventually only criminals will be able to use security/hacking software that the community needs to keep our servers secure. No expliot-code to check and see if your servers were vulnerable, no nmap scans, possibly no SNORT, no SATAN, SAINT, and nessus tools to help people automate security. It will be a sad day, people will possibly be forced to break the law for freedom to protect their livelihoods (if their livelihoods reside on a server) or freedom to simply pursue happiness that one can derive from simply securing a server or seeing everything work right, without crashes. At that point, it will be time for a million nerd/geek/BSD-usr/Linux-usr march. And maybe a new era of protests and reform like in the sixties, except the push will not just be for equal-rights, but rather, digital rights.

.sig is messed up... have to go change it, please ignore. (supposed to end with: Oh wait it is!)
A good point... We will probably be seeing code mimicing slashdots peer-moderation implemented soon. Maybe they will even use slash... Though it would need mods. Which could be a very good thing for ebay.

Hey, how'd you know about me?
Of course not you insensitive clod! Just let ehm work out the server problems... oh wait. I forgot where I was, never mind, as you were.
Finally! We can't get yelled at for not reading the article, or even the post now!
Or you could just re-compile the kernel... it isn't that hard and allows you the oppurtunaty to apply invaluable patches. grsecurity.net
It's microkernel arcitecture is clearly the wave of the future...

The idea of a distributed network is there is no single point of failure. Hence the reason that banning by IP or address is not an optimal solution.
Hmmm, I wonder if the girl comes with it. And more importantly, does the breakfast?
Such hardship, lol. Way to go.

>"a ring of beowulf clusters to bind them all!" Yeah, maybe even a token ring of beowulf clusters?
