But regulars are often worse than the spammers. Once people get to be regulars, they have no problem with writing endless off-topic, mind-numbing crap. They often enjoy putting "OT:" in the subject line as if to say, "hi, this has nothing to do with the subject of the newsgroup, and hence is against the charter, but I'm a regular, so that shit doesn't apply to me, so anyway..." and on with some boring stuff that happened to them that morning.
Umm... where to begin... They post the stuff there because they probably know that others there will find it interesting, in case not, they mark it as OT. you want stuff that sticks straight to the topic? don't read threads with OT as part of their subject. it's that simple.
"You Red Hat guys must get sick of dependency hell..."
"I'm too stupid to understand that circular dependencies can be resolved by specifying BOTH.rpms together on the command line, and that problems hardly ever occur if one uses proper Red Hat packages instead of mixing SuSE, Mandrake and Joe's Linux packages together (which the system wasn't designed for)."
When I first got Red Hat 8 it had Mozilla 1.2.1. I tried downloading the.rpm for 1.3... install it. DEPENDENCY: mozilla v1.2.1 needed for mozilla-nspr 1.2.1
So I get nspr and try installing it... mozilla v1.3 required. DOH
I try selecting both in the GUI, it runs 2 separate processes. both fail. DOH
btw the rpm engine is really slow at working with dependencies. perhaps it needs a cache (new option --use-cache ?)
At this point, I get frustrated, download the tarball, run gunzip, tar -xf, cd over, read the readme's../configure;make install... and then all I have to do is make a symlink in/sbin point to the directory containing mozilla. Takes a couple hours but all but 10 minutes spent afk while it compiles; not that bad...
Instead of doing complicated formulas (ae?) for type of content, another approach would be to collect on a per MB network bandwidth basis. Recipient pays, provider collects. Slashdot would be well funded (as would every site mentioned here). And you wouldn't have the RIAA or MPAA getting a piece of the pie.
You are now making microsoft even richer than they are (every clueless (l)user is now downloading msn.com every time they open a browser. $$ for M$. Ditto such funds for google.
in other words, BLOAT BLOAT BLOAT!
Now nobody has an incentive to save bandwidth. make your whole website a 24-bit bmp screenshot of the page with an imagemap for links! I R GENIUS! Lots of money for nothing really useful because this is a TON of bandwidth.
Translation: such a system might work, but we do need the complicated formulae for it.
I don't know whether we should laugh or cry in the face this kind of stupidity.
The world is a comedy to those who think and a tragedy to those who feel. Or, in terms the average/.er understands:
Then what are these mx records being used to relay mail.
They're used to find the MX for a domain. - To find an IP address, just like I said.
okay. so you use an mx record to find a server that handles mail for that domain. What's wrong with having an FX (file exchanger) record to find a server that handles ftp for that domain? This idea does that without requiring a new standard for dns, by using a currently available field in a DNS record.
Okay. now what if your OS (windows, for instance) will not even boot to safe mode. You have an extra hard drive. If only you had a bootdisk then you could move the files over to the other disk, format, and reinstall OS.
Boot CDs are a waste because they are fixed. Need to add a driver to it? go throw out your CD and get a new one. Or you could flip back the WP box and add a small driver to your disk. voila. it works.
If you look at the actual specs [fwdepot.com], and the fact that the enclosure provides "Real-time... Encryption/ Decryption" all this enclosure does is to encrypt the data going out, and decrypt traffic coming in.
wrong. it encrypts stuff going to the drive (in), and decrypts the stuff going from the drive (out) iff you have a dongle. Otherwise it blocks access. Of course the encrypted drive is needed because otherwise the drive is removable.
gee. I send an e-mail to someone at aol.com. I SMTP my ISP (port 25 by standard) the message, their SMTP server relays it to AOL's SMTP server. Oh wait. that SMTP server isn't there on port 25. Congrats. you've just killed inter-domain e-mail.
Easy. The hardware waits one second before telling you "yes, the hash is valid", or "no, the hash is invalid". With a 160 or 256 bit hash, you'll be waiting a while to find the right answer by brute force.:(
riiight. one word: multithreading.
why won't you be able to see the hash? something has to enable the programs to verify that hash. Just write a program that sort of has its own debugger to check the hash and record the value there. Distribute said program to others. Voila. lots of good hashes to use
I visited Chicago and while outside noticed four helicopters up in the sky. Gee now they want to put robots up there instead of people? wow I feel as if I'm being oppressed here. Anyone else?
"The claim is it's a system where you have a network; you have a way to monitor who's on the network; and if you want to talk to them you hook them up," said Gregory Aharonian, publisher of Internet Patent News Service, a newsletter that's critical of technology patents. "If you're doing something like that, you're potentially infringing."
wait a minute, what about the internet. you have a network, check. you have a way to monitor who's on the network, check (ping). if you want to talk to them you hook them up, check (initiate a TCP session).
Okay, you know how the ??AA claim that the internet is hurting sales? well if we can get a reasonable-sized boycott, then they'll start yelling "WE HAVE NUMBERS! OUR SALES HAVE DECREASED!" and they now have another bone to throw to the idio^H^H^H^Hcongressmen in washington.
"useful information"
just how useful is it to hear that there is a new get-rich-quick scheme out there a hundred times a day?
I reactivated a dormant hotmail account that had been dead for two years 2 days ago. theres 3 messages. now that there is no bounce message, I expect em to start pouring in.

ummm that's because you have almost mutually exclusive mindsets: self-centered and challenge-centered. In a few cases these desires coincide. However in most cases, these do not have anything in common, leading to the distinction between suits and geeks.
When you're looking at a magazine or newspaper, the ads that sorta look like articles are clearly labelled ADVERTISEMENT across the top. Sometimes in magazines you get a whole eight pages of advertising "streamed" with the regular content, but it's definitely identifiable and identified as advertising. Those "Click here to optimize your Internet connection" fakey dialogboxes are intended to decieve.
Okay, all those popups pop up in iframes. they have that title bar above the fake title bar that says its a browser window. to me it makes it perfectly clear that it is a popup and not a dialog box. if you miss that fact, then you are merely lazy. You're in the wrong as much as the guy that doesn't see the "advertisement" banner in a magazine ad that looks like an article.
nah, you won't get anything after bankruptcy claims. only the lawyers will win. End story- bonzi stops paying for ad space, small web sites close, court waste money, court wastes time, jury awards rediculous sum out of anger, lawyers get rich and get TV time. It's like this every time, isn't it?
