Mod_Throttle is exactly what you need. It can be configured to limit to N kb/month, and also has a verry nice status page showing you how many hits each vhost is getting, and how much bandwidth usage they are using. Highly recommended.

Sure there is. All that needs to be changed is there needs to be 'index' files uploaded with the descriptions of the files, then a client can just grab all the index's and search that. Of course this is a bit flawed, the *AA could upload poisoned indexes, but clients would be updated to ignore posts from their front companys.
I think everyone knows the two reasons women dont want to play it, Righty and Lefty (admit it, you named them sometime before you got to the end of TR:2)
But instead of avoiding it, women SHOULD be testing it, how are they going to know what women like if their testing team consists of 50 or so teenage guys? Dont test? Dont complain.
A better example would be HalfLife, which wont let the same cdkey be used at the same time by multiple people. Of course, if you crash after the getcertificate command, you're screwed for atleast 30minutes.
Neither method is flawless though, WC3 plays great with a hacked server, and its not hard to find HL keys off friends that dont play anymore. You could also setup a fake WON(halflife auth) server and hack a server to check with that, or just play LAN *cough vpn cough*
Its just an excuse for laziness. He'd be best off just installing debian and schedualing a nightly connect_script.sh && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && disconnect_script.sh
The conspiracy theorist in me says its not slashdot, but the RIAA. Sorta like MicroSoft keeping Apple alive all those years so they can point and say 'look, we have compitition.'
If properly setup, it would only touch the hardrive a few times. The webserver should cache it, as should the operating system. Also, disk reads are verry quiet compared to seeking, and if it did reread the same file repeatedly, it would still be pretty quiet. Nice try though. The real question is, do you get +1 Funny, or do I get +1 Informative? or maybe this thread will get slapped -1 Offtopic..

You mean the stuff that they clearly outlined in the ELUA? The only thing they really dont mention is the annoying popups on the main html page KaZaA uses, but thats an easy fix (goto about:blank in IE, drag the icon in the address ball onto the page in KaZaA)
Its just shalowness. He dosnt want to be associated with redhat users, because its not 'cool' enough for him. In reality, nothing a user hosts would notice a difference between distros. Thats why POSIX standards were made -- So all applications can follow them and not worry about enviroment. The only major relevant difference would be apache configs, but I strongly doubt a professional hosting company would be using a default apache install. Instead, he should look at more important things like price and speed. BSDLink.net (main page currently down) offers unlmited bandwidth plans for as low as $3 a month, and thats on a 100mbit line. I dont think anyones HTML cares if its being served off a FreeBSD box, a RedHat box, or a Debian box.
You have to check the price on that again. When my $500 home machine breaks, I'm fine waiting 15mins for someone in #gentoo opn[1] to fix it. When a $2M machine breaks you NEED the support of a big corperation like RedHat. Also, it would be easier to convince the PowersThatBe(tm) to install something they know about like RedHat than something that (from their eyes) is ran by a couple geeks.

TF2 isnt that old really. The original release date was Q3 1998 (quoted from TF in birthday mode). I believe Duke Nukem Forever dates back to atleast 1992. By extrapolation, I'd say that would put TF2's min requirements at about 500mhz, which seems about right if they're just modding the HalfLife engine(min 166mhz 64mb), which is based on Quake1(min 386 8mb).
This wouldnt prevent it, but it should help stop a few; How about having slashcode check for previous stories with a same link in it, if it finds any matches then it shows the janitor a list of all stories with the same links. They would easily see a few dupes. The only problem with this is all those vauge links to front pages we all love. That wouldnt matter to much if you only show matching story, but still let them be posted if they confirm it
You could do it like casinos, free food/drinks for the guys that do good. People would stay to try to do better. Ranking is easy to do in halflife, just install PyschoStats (google is your friend). The money for the drinks/chips could easily be made up for by the amount of time they would have to spend there.

Searched the web for "Mod parent down". Results 1 - 10 of about 47. Search took 0.34 seconds.
ianl hacked me, can I have a chunk of the settlement?
Wouldnt that be a Beowolf ClusterBomb?

I wonder why...

It's Uncomfirmed, but many estimate it to be 36C.

Actually, People overrate anything other than whats right infront of them.

Maybe we need to create one verry definitive page, then mirror it EVERYWHERE much like what was done for decss.c?
Finally I can troll for irc.goatse.cx and be mildly on topic!
irc.goatse.cx #goatsecx
The server is fine, The webpage is just being reconstructed. All hosted webpages are obviously unaffected.

Slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between hitting 'reply' and submitting a comment.
