A guy comes up to me. "I need something removed from this floppy." "Ok, no problem. What?" - I display the directory. "Report2.doc" shift-delete, enter. "Aaaargh, I meant just a few lines from inside of the file!!!"
Is it impossible? I mean, there are known vulnerablities, know secure tricks (i.e. passwords that would require unreachable computational power, "security areas" accessible only by people invulnerable to social engineering, after special training, system routines written with security in mind, hardware that is sealed in such a way that it cuts off any attacker on attempt of attack, and physically assaulted self-destructs?
Things slipped out of control because growth wasn't followed by quality control. It would need to be designed from scratch. I think it would be possible - system completely unbreakable, without ANY holes.
But I guess building it would be so expensive, that EVERYBODY prefers systems that work so-so and contain unknown bugs and nobody would be willing to buy it.
and I can say I love the new stuff. No less powerful than regex, and no less obscure, easy to learn, use and abuse. Slightly easier to read and understand, though still tricky. Eh, if we had that in the pre-ncurses times!:)
And for those who hate Perl, it's still worth reading, for great texts used in the "text formatting examples" like a recipe for 2 doomed souls or 10 reasons why you didn't do your English Lit. homework.
And in order to win, Infinitum Labs has to produce Phantom, that is all great, kicks major ass and generally proves all derogatory articles untrue. Case dismissed, gamers rejoice, console enters trade:)
Oh well, They mean that if IBM secretly (without anyone not involved knowing) passed any code to Linux, they should reveal it now. since actually all contributions to Linux are public because Linux itself is all public, it's pretty much irrelevant. Unless of course an undercover IBM agent, acting as a Random Joe Nerd from some obscure part of the world and not connected with IBM in any way, slipped some IBM's code into Linux as his own... How likely is that?
The SCO will try to bullshit the judge into believing it's their secret. But if it's parts of Linux, it IS in public domain already anyway! They don't have to show the lines, just tell the line numbers and filenames and we will find them ourselves;) At least if we are meant to remove the infriging code, otherwise fuck off, SCO, MY linux doesn't have any of your code and prove me otherwise!
If "XFree86" is supposed to bring sex results, and "sex" is supposed to bring sex results (yes, it is blacklisted just the same way), shouldn't "XFree86 sex" bring all the more sex results? Well, it doesn't. Most of hits are slashdot though.
this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC.
If not this, then what?!?
The genre is dying. And not as much because of less players, but because of less titles released. Young players don't know the tastes, humor, puzzles of Monkey Island style games, they would love them if they saw them - with gfx reaching nowadays standards (at least resolution), but there's no such games. The market is dying.
One thing that could save it would be a few daring, great titles that would shake the game world, attract people, revive the genre, bring profit to the authors. S&M could be one of them.
But it seems, it won't be the case. The time may be actually not appropriate - too late. And it won't be appropriate ever - the genre will die, because "nobody produces because nobody would buy", "nobody buys because nobody knows", "nobody knows because nobody sells or produces".
That was a project of a cross-platform "virtual OS" to be run "on top of" other OSes (loaded like a normal process) designed with security in mind - building exploits in it was meant to be impossible. I'm not sure about progress, but launching 10 Argante processes on, say, plain Linux running nothing but "bare bones" was meant to be equal to creating 10 computers, each running Argante OS, to create, say, 10 super-secure servers.
Pay some kind of ransom for hostages, then blow EMP charge destroying the ransom? Or terrorist attack - launch EMP by a bank, not only their electronics get fried, but there's a large fire in the valut?
Lots and lots of modern cRPG, online or not, have way less features than games like Nethack. Just think what you can do about a towel - wrap it around your head, dip it in a fountain, wipe your face. Lots and lots of options. Incredible richness. Seems it can be done after all...
Are there any online rogue/nethack clones out there?
If that's meant to be a journal, it should end with your life's end. But if it's a "content webpage" like "Database of all cars created in 19th century", once it's completed and published, and after some period of bugfixes, it may be perfectly well left on the web for years, unchanged - and it will still remain a valuable resource - once completed it never needs changes.
1) It means that 56% of American internet users are plain parasites who take and give nothing back - and don't participate in any online communities. 2) Maybe that's better... Anyway... Great most of the content is junk that makes finding "true gems" even harder. (webforum blurbs, webpages which repeat the same stolen articles and photos 1000's times, flames, unanswered questions and clueless answers to mailing lists, misleading links, fake keywords... finding something new, creative and useful is getting gradually harder, not easier because of this "richness")
I'm not trolling, really...

Postfix

· Score: 4, Interesting
...but comparing how complex sendmail configuration is, and how simple is it to configure Postfix, does a guy who ate his teeth on Sendmail really need -a book- to learn something SO much easier? (while Sendmail config file reminds raw binary, Postfix is all easy, understandable and well commented options)
I'll help you! No, thanks. I don't want to do it. But I really think it would be cool if you did it! No, I'd rather not. But I'll help you! No, thanks, I don't want to. It will be really easy! It won't hurt a bit! But, please, no... But I want to help you... pretty pretty please?
I was always drawing a map. And depending on implementation of Wumpus cavern generator, it may or may not be possible. Once I got the cavern split in two, Wumpus in the other half:) But that's what the bats are for. True, you risk you get dropped into a pit or into wumpus jaws, but that's the only way to get in shot range. (and of course not getting eaten is damn hard if the cavern area is small...) I wrote Wumpus for my TI-81 myself:)
Just use script-fu or perl-fu or such. Gimp is slightly too...powerful? for plain command line stuff, but launching its functions from perl and writing perl script to do what you intend to do is probably the way to go.
"Select circle/ellipse" (hold shift to make circle, add ctrl to draw middle-edge, not diagonal of square it's inscribed into), then pick the right brush and color, "stroke", done. Been there from pre-1.0.

You forget user support.
Users can mess up badly and usually it's the admin to fix it.

For 3 years. That's $8.300 a month. What kind of provider charges THIS much for webhosting? $270 daily, don't you think, the guy was asking for it?

That's what would need to change.
"It's new"
"It's pretty"
And that would need to be just cautiously taken care of:
"It's fun! Slow-paced but fun!"
Remember "intro" of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis? Stuff like that would hook them to the chairs and encourage to spend hours playing!

if any of you have two(+) jobs in different fields, enjoying both.
I'd personally love some part-time horse-related job (farrier, trainer, stable manager), but without quitting IT.

2. Copyright it.
3. Charge people for using gravity.
4. PROFIT!!!
