I feel your pain. I was in Atlanta during the summer on Vacation and I was following somebody's directions somewhere.. Somehow, I ended up at the corner of "Peachtree St NW" and "W Peachtree St NW". Apparently there are 52 streets there with that name.
Oh yeah, I didn't see a single peach until I crossed into North Carolina.
I don't think that it'll really matter, because diamond won't melt. At least, I don't think so. It won't be in general purpose computers anyway I think.
Actually, I've gone into there before.. The user IS root, but the permissions in selinux are completely changed. Selinux root isn't the same as normal root.
I actually rebooted the selinux machine using an ioperm exploit. If you want to know what I did, here's the source:
#include <sys/io.h> int main() {
ioperm(1023,1,0);
outb(0xfe,0x64); }
Compile, execute, rebooted. It works on Linux kernel 2.4.20 and lower under unpriveleged users. You don't need selinux to have a secure box.
Last week, one of my friends wanted a hard drive prepped so that he could play OGMs at a fairly decent speed on a P3 600, something Windows can't do. I plugged in the hd, and in 3 hours I had everything working (Aside from X, svgalib does its job quite well in mplayer.) If he wanted X too, I could have that done in 30 minutes + compiling time (12 hours max).
Maybe it would take someone with an IQ as low as yours a week to install it, but for most of us, it doesn't.
I understand most of what you're saying, but there is still a difference between [records (legal) being replaced by CDs (legal)] versus [CDs (legal) being replaced by hard disks (Transfer from other sources is illegal)]. You're just saying to convert to an illegal method. I'm not a RIAA troll or anything-- I'm just saying that you can still rip the MP3s from your music CDs. Use 'em all you like, and if you don't like actual CDs laying around, toss them in a closet.
The legal term of not being able to download the music from another source is a catch-all. And the RIAA loves it.
Excuse me if this is a stupid question.. But everyone says that these people are all crackers.. But who the Hell are hackers? Password guessing/forcing? Cracker. Exploit? Cracker. Trogan? Cracker.
The pre-alpha was so slow because it was running a debugger and it was UNFINISHED. I forget where I read this, but the finished version will not require much. It's quite an impressive game, needless to say. The leaked alpha kinda' ruined this because everyone's played it already.
Is there going to be a native Linux port of this? If not, I think I'm going to go insane.
Most spammers use an unsuspecting server that isn't theirs to send out their spams. If you actually DO succeed, you'd probobly just end up pissing off some sysadwin who already has to deal with the spammer himself.
Believe me, I used to get ~1500 returned e-mails per day because I was an open relay X_X
Thanks for the update! I've been waiting ages for a video card that will play Nethack at 10,000fps! Who cares about 3-D games when you can go dungeon hacking?
This is old news. I run a server off of my DSL line, and AOL (along with Roadrunner, University of Toronto, etc..) has been blocking all e-mails sent normally. I've worked around this by using my ISP's smtp server to send mail. They don't notice the difference. Although it is a good idea because there are way too many spammers using dsl, it closes off e-mail for the rest of us.
Microsoft thought it would be easy sticking a computer inside of a big box and labeling it a game console. The only thing they "had to do" was to strip down Windows 2000 to suit it.
How about a Lin-Box? Stick a lot of expensive hardware in it, strip the kernel, and lose money selling it, too! Wait, I see why this hasn't been done yet..
So, let me get this straight.. Some guy registers the domain phoenix.com which has nothing to do with web browsers at all.. And then says that they'd sue mozilla.org for name infringement or whatever? Personally, I think that either they're just trying to draw attention to their name. The guys in charge of the Phoenix browser are probably only changing the name because they don't want any trouble form these guys who may or may not be serious about this.
That was a pretty bad review.. Matrox tried to "clean up the floor with nVidia and ATI" too and failed. At least they made a better attempt than Trident.
I have a spare 2mb Trident in my P-75 that may compete with the XP4...
In 10 years, we'll all look back on this and laugh. The same way that we do when we watch an old science fiction movie that was made without the thought in mind that people would still be watching it 30 years later.
I don't know why, but I like playing games online MUCH better than sp mode. It's really more interesting.. Even if it's the SoF2 MP demo (One level, but really addicting.) I'm downloading TSO right now, but despite people saying how much this game sucks or whatever, I'm looking forward to it.
As long as lamers don't come on burning down each others' houses.

Even better, a Linux server on a firewall. Running Gentoo Linux. My box is tighter than a nervous virgin on prom night. Erm.. ^.^;;

But he can't-- SCO owns that patent. :P
Aww! How do we expect to get an "early release" of Doom 4 now?

Someone please enlighten me..

Oh well.
Doom 3 at a reasonable FPS, RAM drives to help the /. effect and Windows running at decent speeds?
I wish...
That's $4.8 million Canadian

This is the most useful thing I've done with a floppy for the past 3 years.
