    Maybe old versions of Windows.

    Windows XP supports over 2GB, and Windows2003 can support up to 512GB (with 64-bit Datacenter Server).

    Fork it! *kerrack* Fork it good!

    With the slightly older version, all one needs to do is set up a new tribunal or something to clean it, repost it, and then add to it as a team. Split the power three or five ways-- hold monthly or bimonthly meetings to discuss submissions, and Make It So.


    Sure, I'll take up the challenge. I can't promise to immediately start working on it, but I shall, in my spare time (within the next few weeks or month), work on diffing v4.2 with newer versions, to pick up anything important.

    From there, I'm open to suggestions on how to proceed from there with a non-ESR version.

    As just the "guy who can fix my computer" I even knew a certain Epson 740i mac driver that kept me going back to this girl's room. Torture to be just there when you're too introverted to make that first move :)

    That's when you demand that ThinkGeek create a new shirt that says "I'm introverted. Please make the first move for me." and wear that when helping girls set up their computers.

    Other than that, I'm heading off to college in a week and a half and be taking both my Mac (OSX soon) and my PC (win2000/OpenBSD) with me, and will undoubtedly help everyone else out of the goodness of my heart. As long as they give me caffiene.

    Yes, but if ANYONE who does have the priveleges to do such things gets the BO 2K infection, no matter what, your network is going to get it, and you will spend hours and hours working to clean your network.

    Ban open-source software for the public? What are you, some kind of M$ neo-nazi or something? Yes, some hackers will open-source their software to their hacker pals will make even nastier versions.

    What about open source OS's? *nix? You are saying that in order to make open-sourcing illegal, you would completely obliderate an operating system which has out-performed the current most-used operating system of windows?

  8. Re:How long has BackOrifice been around? on Back Orifice 2000 on CNN.COM · · Score: 1

    Yes, the new and improved BO might not make them patch things up, but what about its new features? Ability to watch the user's screen in real time? Ability to run on a microphone and hear anything that is going on? A modular version to add even more features? Made to run on NT?


    These things will really pound on companies, who will yell at M$ for making shitty OS's, then the companies, if they are smart, will change. Where I work, _EVERYONE_ uses NT4 and it would take a lot of time to bring everything up to speed after a changeover, so we can't go to Unix/BSD/whatever.
    I am not a CDC member, but I have used BO. I got into 3 of my friend's computers by sending them the infected thing and I told them it was a C program I made. They ran it, I took over their system and popped up messages telling them what I had just done to their system.
