  1. using the dreamcast as a pc/hacking toy on Telnet into Dreamcast? · · Score: 0
    daveo does not often play games, but is still thinking of purchasing a dreamcast. there are just a few questions that would make the decision:
    • has anyone been able to verify that the dreamcast does accept telnets, during any specific game, web browser, or otherwise?
    • how complicated would it be to write simple programs for the dreamcast? could this be done in c or c++ for a win ce or *bsd api?
    • if one were to write a program for the dreamcast, could it be put on any normal cd-rw and used immediately, or would any special modifications be needed.

    any additionaly information or answers to these questions would be of great appreciation, thank you

  2. Re:that posting was bogus. on Telnet into Dreamcast? · · Score: 0
    hmm well that would not account for telnet, since it was not filtered, how is that?

    and would it be possible for one on a cd-rw to create a program for the bsd api that basically turns it into a full-fledged pc, or at least run a specially-writen telnet server or open ports? if this were possible, it would still be worth its money in hacking value.

  3. Re:Java irc clinents? on Telnet into Dreamcast? · · Score: 0

    daveo is big on java, a java port to dreamcast would be very interesting, or maybe an existing (bsd?) version could be put on cd and used? daveo has not yet seen the dreamcast, is there a way to save data to disk, a memory card or such? this would be useful. if telnet is possible (or could be created on a cd for bsd to open the telnet port) it would be worth the $200 just as a hacking tool... hours of fun on end! now how would the apis be received from sega, inc?

    what could the http port be open for? maybe on the release date (when is that?) daveo could get one, and become the first to write a web server for a video game system. wow, the possibilities surely are endless! if they do use disks drives, would there be a way to hook one up to a pre-existing computer, examine the data, and find the user names and pw? it *is* windows, so the .pwd file could be easily replaced if this goes by the concept of 9x. no /etc/passwd

    surely these will surface soon after realease, but what can happen once you get in? if it runs wince, maybe you could change the software (do video systems such as these even use disk drives, daveo is not familiar with them?) and write your own video-game api! now that would be one certain sweet project!

  9. methamphetamine anti-prolif. act? on Teen Sued for /Linking/ to MP3s · · Score: 3
    it seems that more and more people can get in trouble for linking, even in cases of linking to specific frames, etc. but it is of great interest, why they are suing a 17-year-old, how can they get money from him? would they not be better off suing the producer, which would reduce even further the number of people trying to download the music?

    or could there be another motive in this, such as setting an example for people, since *many* more people link tp mp3s than produce them, and maybe that would reduce mp3 usage even more?

  11. have we not seen this before on/.? on Close out to Microsoft Anti-Trust Case · · Score: 0
    *sigh* daveo has contributed somewhat to the free software community, as have many of his friends, but is a libertarian party member. of course, some of the commies ;0) will take advantage of this movement. here are a few points that must come out, please do feel free to contribute:
    • communities will form together where appropriate. the free software movement is based *more* on the idea that the source should be available for people to modify, than the idea of us all working together in a commune. this is so that we can all work on something ourselves and make it for our own needs. there are few models such as this in real life. as you can see, where it is appropriate, these things can form together in a captitalist society and be affective. would this model be necessary in a car plant, food factory, or hotel company? if people want to work for the common good, they will do so, let them! that is what libertarianism is about, if that is your lifestyle choice, yuou should be free to live it, not so in many leftist societies, which is one *huge* reason daveo does not become a socialist, though may admire some ideas (which do not require an intrusive government).
    • there is no central, forcible free software force. this is to be tied into the first point somewhat. people who see a need for change get together, and make that change. they work together of free association, and go about the activities they want to do. that is what libertarianism allows. you cannot give a government the ability to tell its citizens what they will do. it will lead to totalitarianism, slowly, but surely, over each generation, and people will say that each expansion does not violate the previous principles on which the last expansion was based. this is because by nature, people want power and to contrl things. see now what is happening with the us government each time the people grant it the power to do something small, because they see some gain in it. giving anyone the power to tell others what to do would be a huge mistake, again is people want to do an activity for the good of the people where it is appropriate they will, and others may join at wish.
    • programmers create code, which is something they like to do. it again is voluntary, and in some respects needed for the industry. they do not abandon their lives, they work on something in free time that they enjoy to do. this is why the system works!! everything that is needed in society to be created cannot be enjoyed. thus the motivation is gone. good of the people is not enough, people must like what they are doing! this is the situation with programmers. you could not take an average person who *could* program, and who wants programmers and software to be high quality, but who doesn't like programming, and expect him to work up to the quality of someone who has a real motivation. good of the people is not enough in 90% of the world, simply because people do not see their single contribution as changing society. programmers can fix something for themselves, or a small bug, or even make a small or medium-sized program that fits a need. thus they are given payment for their work, which they may use for other things they would want or need.

    ... just the ramblings of daveo, the open-sourced fan libertarian. (does anyone else find it interesting that many non-programmers use open source as an example for communism, while those in open-source itself don't, and tend to be libertarian, moderate, or moderate-left?)

    how can you say this? if you ignore the immediate look at the first 4 or 5 posts, which have -1 immediately because only of this new system, and go to the bottom, you will see real posts that respond with evidence to points that others have made, and most certainly are worthwhile. after reading the posts, can anyone really say that some of daveo's insightful posts are not worth reading as much as a flame? some of them bring new ideas and information into the thread, but if this is the attitude, it will remain as it is. remember, the moderators, especially at first, immediately moderated down posts by daveo thus giving him a -1 start, whether worthwhile or not.

    it appears that daveo is 1 of only the 2 accounts which is moderated down to -1 by default. this is certainly not fair. why cant people look at the posting history? there has never been a single flame or troll from daveo. look at the posts in the history. all are somewhat insightful (if not gramatically correct, true apologies for this), real opinions, and at the very least not intended to bother any one, but to add to the conversation. can this system work? we must see, but if someone who has no bad intentions is one of two -1 accounts, it is not starting off well at all.

  16. is daveo a "troll" on On the Subject of Trolls · · Score: 0
    daveo is curious, he just posted an article under the 'citizenship' heading, and saw it go down to -1. however, no moderators putting it down were visible. does anyone have insight as to if this happened becuase of the new system?

    also, this new system could be quite bad for users of the same system, not allowing them to post.

    maybe the "troll" status should be computed only if peopl ehave their posts moderated down because of flaimbait, or trolls, not such things as redundant, which would not make a troll. any comments?

    sorry, this has been said, many a time, but daveo would like to clear it up. the thc stays in your body only for the duration of the high. from the moment you ingest the thc, your body will do the job of breaking it down into *metabolites*. thus your high will become less and less, to be gone within a few hours. your body stores the metabolites in lipids. the lipids have no psychoactive effect whatsoever. the half life varies extremely depnding on age, metabolism, and many other factors, and can be from less than 2 days to over a week, and is usually 1/2 week on average.
