I discovered this "vulnerability" myself a few months ago and wrote a crappy Python tool to cheat automatically.
You just give it the torrent, how much to "upload" and how much to wait between start and stop updates.
it's in SVN in my home PC so, it may not stay there for long if you abuse my DSL.
Just go where you want to install it and type: svn co svn://arcanum.homelinux.org/cheatbt cheatbt
./chtk.py is a TK GUI (no file selector, too bored for that) ./cheatingBastard.py is a PyQT GUI (with fileselector but a Threading issue) ./cheatbt.py is the "command line" tool. use it as such:
Ah, what you want is the PDF Download firefox extension.
When you click on a pdf it displays a choice of opening it in a new tab, downloading it , or viewing it as HTML (which i think uses google, but i could be wrong because i never use this option)
It really saved me.
Still, i think it would be fair to say that if your tab does not produce a.. tab, then it is not a... tab. It's something else.:)
Writing Makefiles in editors where the tab is a tab should produce no problems.
Ever since i gave AC's a negative initial moderation in my preferences, i have never seen even one troll post.(to the point where i miss GNAA posts:) )
good AC posts get moderated upwards and i finally get to see them.
In fact, as many have discussed on slashdot, it will be far worse if trolls start trolling with registered accounts.
Saying that the reviewer's arguments are invalid because he admits a bias is actually the fallacy of Ad hominem . In particular the grandparent post commits a Circumstancial ad hominem.
And this is ofcourse an invalid argument

Yeah, and if someone asks... you are not trading warez.
No no no.... You are actively participating on a feasibility study in massively distributed off-site redunduncy storage for the preservation of information. ...and you need at least 30 more year before a conclusion can be reached.
True, but not exactly what i was trying to say.
My (maybe failed) analogy was that loosing your car keys would require buying a new car in the same way that loosing your software keys requires buying a new software package.
Surely, you wouldn't buy a new BMW when you lost your car keys.
It is indeed ludicrus.
Imagine loosing your keys to your Ford and the company tells you "i'm sorry. It's your responsibility to take care of the keys. You can buy a new and improved ford however"
Actually a do something like that too.
I have a.txt file with passwords but it's GPG encrypted
When i want it i just gpg --decrypt theFile.txt
Of course the gpg key is password protected too.
How can you integrate commercial software in the package manager in Debian?
With Gentoo i just emerge maya or emerge nero or emerge cedega or most any commercial software out there.
Unreal Tournament, doom3 , neverwinter nights and many others are easily managed by portage.
Inspired by your comment with the beefy server i need to say this.
I don't know how feasible it would be to have something like ltsp.org
I mean, all you probably need are dirt cheap computers with the minimum specs to run X, plus a beefy server.
KDE and many recent apps that depend on it are memory hogs. You need relativey powerfull machines to use them. The same for OpenOffice and other apps. With an X terminal configuration you could probably provide this with one expensive machine and many el cheapo ones.
And i mean much cheaper than Pentium 2 or 3 that was mentioned. I have done this (for the coolness factor only) with a 486DX/8MB RAM (and a Pentium3/512RAM server) and it worked perfectly.
Obviously i do not know how this would scale on many machines, how large the machine needs to be to accomondate something like that, and what other parameters i am missing.
But i am most certain that the article submiter should at least check it out.
Well chimera was a monster in the myths of ancient Greece.
Chimera was beaten by Belerephontis (sp? i know the greek name only) and his horse, Pegasus.
And,you guessed it, it was " a monster with the head of a lion, body of a goat and the tail of a dragon"
I have been playing Enemy territory for some time and have noticed a lot of cheaters,aimbots and wallhacks.
It has come to my attention that you have undertaken the role of punkbuster, only with rifles and live ammo.
Could you please um, 'solve' the problem on the Enemy terrirory servers please?
Maybe send these people to obligatory service in Iraq or something?
Thank you.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
I didn't even know there is a backwards joke.
I thought i was being funny by relating the grandparent's post mention of 'backwards' and the parent's post reversing of the situation.
But it seems that unbeknownst to me i was being a troll. Still don't know why.
Oh well, Not being from the US doesn't help either i guess:)
Oh, and wtf is schanefrude? Google returns 0 hits.

Please, no complaints about the code... i know :)

Ok, so it's not something you are looking forward to winning, or ever knowing you 'won' for that matter.
We have all made our WTFs but the entries here are real winners :)

I think this puts the Chewbacca defense to shame.
Well done, reality!

God no!
Even Slashdoters would not like a woman who crawls blogs looking for phone numbers of men.
I mean, isn't like a woman..spambot or something?
Or at least have a sophisticated emergency plan involving encryption to plausibly claim they are legitimate :)
A true geek :)

Can something like that be done with apt-get?
which just goes to show.... don't mess with a guy who willingly reads line noise. He is crazier than you :)
What a coincidence!
I am also celebrating my tenth year anniversary of not celebrating tenth year anniversaries.
But they can certainly profit from selling support :)
