Clueless eh?
If I am assuming correctly, the general public in the world has had years to pick up trash in the ditches and fields left by a small percentage of the non-caring population. But I still see very few people doing this, possibly the same percentage of ISP's who perform these big brother techniques.
Come to think of it, what sysadmin is going to give you the time of day?
With internet service battling for the ~$4.95/mo arena, I don't see much use in hiring but one sysadmin for this position, and making sure he can handle hundreds of thousands of people a month with his setup, pay him $200k/yr, and outsource the tech support.
The day ISPs start keeping the bad guys away from you is the day you convince the general public that internet access is really worth that few extra bucks, and next time, choose your local ISP.
Once this is accomplished, I'll configure my router to that specification, and we can go on our merry ways.
Until then my routers stay the way they are, you can have your "Make the internet a safer place" cult, and we may see each other again.
My schema is designed for maximum scalibility, minimum filtering (due to load), and most of all, 99.999.
You imply that cheating is bad...
Some of the most successful people(*cough* bill gates) in the world cheated, how can you expect to get anywhere if you have morals?
I hear all of your posts, about how they should get a life, blah blah blah. I myself played everquerst for about 18 months on and off. I averaged 15-40 hours a month, depending on the month and how I felt. Everquest "zoned" me, to another world. In our(Non-eq) reality, it left me behind a computer, with closed curtains, fighting and sweating while in battle. When I was 17, I robbed a firestation, got a drinking and driving minor, and sold adderol (Meds for ADHD) to my school peers. By the time I was caught I had 30 felonies(Possession with intent to distribute in a drug free (school) zone.), and 50 years in prison staring me straight in the face. I lost my license and was on house arrest for over 4 months. About a year later, I was accepted and attended one of the top engineering schools in the nation.
Now, my question to you, is: If I can't spend my time playing EQ, and raising my daughter, do you want me selling a perscription legal meth to your brothers and sisters? Don't get me wrong, I'm well past that stage, but I'm sure if I did not have habits that keep me home, or somewhat entertained, I'm sure I could find something to do outside in a city of ~3 million people. I have not done drugs in 6 years, and have drank about 24 beers since I was 16. I save TONS of money, $15 a month is a lot for EQ sure. But consider what it saves you. If I'm spending 40 hours of afterwork/weekend time on this game, I'm not eating with my friends, I'm not buying gas driving around. I'm not doing anything that will harm you.
Sure some people will kill themselves over this game, just like some willl spend $9000 on a character on ebay. But that's evolution. If they killed themselves prior to reproduction, we won't have to worry about those genes surfacing for at least a little while, but hopefully they will be rid of just as fast. I'd rather have joe schmo killing himself(maybe a few others) because of distress from the game, than driving with his drunk buddies at 1:00 at night while I am on my way to drop off my daughter at her mother's house. It is more probable Joe kills me while driving drunk than if I was an innocent bystander near his EQ game.
Java is so damn slow and bloated, I cannot see a kernel fixing it.

Guys! Thinnk about it...just boot from an xbox linux cd, and lynx to the webpage. It's not like the mac address is gonna change. That is, if my assumption is correct you don't need a hardware mod to boot of the xbl cd. If you do, you may be in trouble cause I dont think live lets modded boxes work.
I agree with most, except I would prefer walking. At least to start. I did enough running in 6 years of wrestling practice that I won't need to run for the next 10 years (at least I like to think that).
Except, instead of those little walkmans or radios playing the music, I suggest the Lord of the rings or one of Stephen Hawkings books on Audio CD. Or another of your favorites authors.
This way, while you excercise, you can listen to your favorite books.
Makes for a good way of passing time.
You may be safer if you attended a your local Catholic Linux User Group, they are only interested in boys. Plus when you're ready to learn about little boys, the pastors can tell you all the tricks of the trade.
Fat?
That's because we spend our time eating as opposed to fixing our winblows servers.
Lazy?
That's because it's been so long since we've had to patch our system we've forgot what it felt like to download the latest fix from MS hoping some guy doesn't code-red you in the 20 minutes it takes to download a 500k file from a slow website.
Linux Loving?
Thats us!(or me anyway)
Hippies?
We just look like hippies because we are to lazy(read #2 titled "Lazy?" to shave).
Faggots?
Windows lovers are the faggots if you ask me, They are the ones who don't mind bending over for Bill!
Take a shower?
What's that?
I cannot find the article, but I read once that it was proven that it is easier, and people actually do better on smaller vs. larger tvs for video console games. If I can dig the article up I will post it.
I used to be a warranty guy for compaq, hp, ibm and apple(I know, BFD, I realize it doesn't mean squat. In fact I'm scared to say that most of the time because I look like more of a fool than a computer guy! But we gotta start somewhere.).
I rarely called apple, because most of the apples I worked on had the power button bug, in which the power button stuck down after turning it on, and then the computer would mysteriously shut down after 8 seconds on the imac. I did like 50 in one week, but my limited experience with apple was about the best I had had with any support provider at the time.
Then I moved, got another job, and they had dells here. I disliked dells, but only because I had worked on very few and I was more unfamiliar than unimpressed.
Shortly after I started, a HDD died on someone's dell machine. I remembered the hell with compaq about trying to convince them that the hdd was bad, and it was under warranty.
I immediatley suggested to my boss we should just buy another hdd (~$80) and forget about it. He told me I should just call Dell.
So I called them, waited two minutes on hold.
Told the guy about the windows 2000 event logs saying bad block on hd0 and how scan disk takes 2 hours every boot.
He had me push some f(#) key on boot, and it started some diagnostics (I've never believed in those built in diagnostics either) and about 60 seconds later it said hdd 0 and an error code.
I read the code to the tech, he said ok we'll have a new hdd out to you soon.
The next morning there a new hdd in my box.
I will never go back to anything else!
About the same experience with a fan, called dell, easy hold, could convince him it was bad, had a new one the next day.
Apple also did the same, new parts within a day.
I still have a 64mb stick of ram acting as a partial paper weight from a friends machine because gateway won't replace it without me bringing it into a country store, letting them format the hdd and put windows 98 back on it, then testing it.
I firmly believe that hardware rarely goes bad, unlike most tech support would like you to beleive, and this is one of the only sticks of ram in my 5 years that I can confidently say is bad.

We are sorry for the confusion, but it turns out it was just my mother-in-law that caused this.
We can all go home now, nothing to see here.

Are they gonna make one too? Will MS release the code to them? Will MS release code so some stuff can run on linux? And if so, will it be open source?
I agree with most, except I would prefer walking. At least to start.
