I would like to see an update to the bittorrent protocol which allows 'dynamic' torrents. The hashes and files of a directory could be changed as a file is added or changed. Build in some mechanisms so that only the original seeder can make changes and set it up and point it to/wwwroot/.
First download might take a little long, but everytime someone added/changed a file it would be almost instantly replicated across the torrent network. I know that I'd donate some HD space and an open 'dynamic torrent' in rtorrent for something like this.
Now: A Computer is fast enough to computer all the possibly plays in a game and pick the best solution.
There are computers which can beat humans at Poker (which has less possibly combinations than say chess) but I wouldn't say that a computer knows how to bluff or read a bluff.
Yes, that's what I was showing they accept authentication from ANYONE..user and i'm in.
And all these idiots did was ban my *!user@host. I reconnected via irssi after changing my username and I got back in. I'm trying to script up something entertaining but sadly the IRC server masks host names:(. They already uploaded and made changes to the original link, I wonder if they have any idea their config file bookmarked on Slashdot.
Because script kiddies are getting lazier and lazier.
All the ones I was messing with were the php ones that had a config file like this: -- var $config = array("server"=>"katana.webchat.org",
"port"=>6667,
"pass"=>"",//senha do server
"prefix"=>"L",
"maxrand"=>8,
"chan"=>"#samera",
"key"=>"fucked",//senha do canal
"modes"=>"+p",
"password"=>"ts",//senha do bot
"trigger"=>".",
"hostauth"=>"*"// * for any hostname
); -- And now that I went back and refreshed, they changed the channel and password.
The commands aren't too difficult, they're in the header of a few other files that are linked in the original post. Just make sure that you have all your commands queued up and copy and paste them in at once. I didn't and the original bot owner took control and had them all die:-P
I rewrote the script so that instead of actually doing the commands it just logs what it should have done and returns a positive response to the channel. So far I have a few UDP floods, I think I'll observe these guys for a while. Should be some entertainment for Saturday night.
I just took over a bot net. Read the source code and figured out what's going on how to login to them. Man these things are semi-complex.
I just took over one and killed it. Dude was none to happy: 16:20 macacao> l3 16:21 macacao> SE EU TE PEGO 16:21 macacao> EU VO CUMER 16:21 macacao> TEU CU 16:21 macacao> FILHO DA PUTA
Older than that. Someone came up with a 'patch' to the +++ATH0 hangup ping. One of my friends on IRC went to his parents and they still had Dialup. After about 3-4 hours of messing with him by killing his connection. I pinged him with the 'patch'. It didn't work after that.
I'm a Mechanical engineer and I've had more embedded work than most CS people that I know.
Granted I'm a Mechatronics concentration and my senior year I had enough credits done to be allowed to take graduate level classes. I learned assembly, embeded C, VHDL, circuit design (sort of a major thing for an ME), some high level state space programming and making them all work together. The courses exist, it's do the students want to take them?
I voluntarily took a C/C++ CS 200 level course one year because I was interested in programming. (95% of MEs get nothing beyond very basic Matlab programming and the thought of doing anything any thing 'extra' is insane.) Sadly I did better than 99% of the class of actual CS majors. Kids who 'liked computers' and wanted a major with computers. - Some projects from the course I took. Looks like the website hasn't been updated in years: http://meweb.ecn.purdue.edu/~me588/Previous_Projects/previous.html
I also consider it to have a slight metallic taste. (No I'm not a vampire. I just opted to participate in many sports with braces without extra mouth guards.)
I like to do stupid things drunk. Doing virtual things drunk is more fun.
"You stole the girl I was talking to. Lets box."
Wii is the ultimate drunk gaming machine. Because so many of the games require motor control.
A fun drinking game (even if it is only 2 player) is the Wii Play shooting game. Winner takes a shot. Play until you're adequately buzzed.
Hell coming back from the bars playing for an hour and then crashing rocks. You can have a mini 'party' before going out to the bars and it beats just sitting and watching TV.
I only wish they came out when I was in college. We usually played NES (SMB3) while waiting for Pizza.
The reason that this is done is that when you 'deactivate' you can 'reactivate'. That's why they don't delete the information, in case you want to 'reactivate' your account.
I was dealing with a minor facebook addiction last year and even after I deactivated my account I'd get bored after a while and reactivate it. I did exactly what you said. Deleted all my friends, changed all my personal information. Changed my e-mail address to a 10 minute e-mail and then deactivated
Surprisingly when there's nothing to look at, facebook is quite boring.
Double clicking the title bar just minimizes the windows.
The Post was talking about "Window Shade" functionality. Something built into OS 8/9. Double clicking on the title bar rolls the window up into just the title bar.
I believe the functionality has been there since 10.5.
I have an external drive hooked up to my debian box (Formatted HFS+, RW). I have it shared via SMB as smb://debian.local/TimeMachine.
After running the command on my machine to backup to 'unauthorized' shares and enabling time machine on the drive, time machine works great.
I hadn't planned on this when I started, but time machine knows that it's a network drive and will mount it in the background to do the backup. Even if I've rebooted, taken my computer out for a while, etc. As soon as I come back the Time Machine drive will mount and start the backup.
The only thing 10.5.2 added was a fancy new icon for it.
I can't find the specific link outlining the 5 different genders, but I do remember reading about it once. If I remember correctly the other 3 were: 'Straight' but preferring to do things of the other sex (Tom Boys, Men who liked to cook, cross dressers). 'Homosexual' but preferring to do things of the same sex (Cooking women, Warring men), and then Transgendered, misc.
From Wiki: "In one account, raiding soldiers of a rival tribe begin to attack a group of foraging women. When they perceive that one of the women, the one that does not run away, is a two-spirit, they halt their attack and retreat after the two-spirit counters them with a stick, determining that the two-spirit will have great power which they will not be able to overcome."
(It's just my American childishness towards the issues. But in my head I'm seeing a bunch of Freshmen boys going and raiding the Freshmen girls dorm when they encounter a 6' tall dude in a night gown and then they run away)
These were also the culture that revered people with Down Syndrome as truly 'special' and having a special connection to gods, etc. Christians could learn a thing or two about acceptance from these 'savages'
An sexualized a 12 year old? Why can't we blame the de-sexualizing of 12 year olds in the past ~150 years. You think your great great great great grandmother was 24 years old when your great great great grandmother was born? Was Mary, mother of Jesus, a 30 year old successful carpenters assistant? I'm in my lower 20s. You know what I find some "under age" girls attractive. I'm not talking about 11 and 10 year olds. But 16,17,17.9999999 years old, stuff that would get me thrown in jail and beaten and have to register where ever I live, you know. How it worked for the last few thousand years.
Why is it that us Americans think that every single thing that has to do with sex must be seen our way. You know gays weren't "invented" in the 80s. Native Americans had 5 'genders'. Some cultures it was the norm to have sex with 12 year old boys along with your wife. Hell you were weird if you didn't.
Despite what some say, Europe is full of breasts in advertisements and I don't see every teen age boy turning into a rapist.
Dear my fellow Americans: Please get over yourself.
A company IS a person. That's the whole purpose of a corporation. "A corporation is a legal entity (technically, a juristic person) which has a separate legal personality from its members." That's the whole point of a corporation.
What I want to know is how to stop the DIRECT junk mail. Not the stuff that's addressed and automated. But every town I've lived in has gotten coupons/ads direct to your mailbox from Kroger and some other local places. There is no address. And they stuff it in EVERYONE's mailbox.
I even had an issue with the PO 'canceling' my mail in my apartment because I didn't check it for a few weeks (because I knew I wasn't getting anything) and it got stuffed with those mailers so they assumed I moved out.
No they don't. You get a 'your friend has added X, JOIN NOW' and THEN you can decide if you want to join an application you can check the box "share my data with application X"
Anyone with any leads on New World ROMS so I can fire up and install OS 9 or something? I have a stack (50+) of all my old MacAddict CDs and somewhere I know I have an "Inside Mac Games" from around 1996. That thing had on it the first game I ever bought (shareware). Realmz II.
Oh and Warlords. First turn based game I ever played. Man I love that. Although I loved cheats so I would use this program which would search active memory from a program for a value and then change it. (I only had the Warlords Demo, so I'd search for "turn" and when I was approaching 40 turn limit I'd reset it to 10)
And Taskmaker...
I'm laid up from Knee surgery. I know what I'm going to be wanting to do for the rest of the day.
And here illustrates the problem with Linux adoption. I don't know what chipset my MacBook Pro uses. I know that I turn on wireless and it works. On my XP laptops I've had. I just went to the vendor's website and got the XP drivers.
Go ask grandma what drivers her wireless card are when she can't get on the net with the Ubuntu that you gave her. And you can't go making fun of her because she didn't realize that the Toshiba EU32422 (the one you told her to buy) used the ProximIII chipset while the Toshiba that she got (The EU324442) only had the Atheros IX which of course as anyone knows Ubuntu doesn't support.
And before you give me the spiel on "Well the hardware vendor isn't releasing the spec." END CONSUMERS DO NOT CARE. When Ford SUVs were rolling over due to bad tires made during a strike, who got a large portion of the public's hate? Ford. Ford doesn't make tires, but they make the SUVs that said tires went on.
Wireless works in XP. Wireless doesn't work in Ubuntu. This is not Dell's nor Proxim's nor anyone's problem (to the public) other than Ubuntu's.
Everyone hounds on Apple for not releasing a 'any box' version of OS X, but there's a reason they don't. Strict control of the hardware means good implementation of the software.
As an engineer, you should maybe look at this method. (not trying to be an asshat here) Do you memorize every engineering table you are exposed to, or do you only memorize the relevant ones to your work?...and have a clue as to where other relevant tables could be found? I don't even memorize the ones relevant to my work. There's no reason to, they're huge. Some of us kept our engineering books (I resold mine but I'm considering picking up some old editions on half.com). Some of the stuff from freshmen year that we've used every year since has stuck around. F=ma, V=IR, rho*g*h, Water is 1000 kg per cubic meter, and the likes.
But absolutely nothing on the scale of my sister (or my Aunt that's a dermatologist, or my uncle that's an ER doctor).
There are some majors where rote memorization is good. When you're in the ER and you just reacted to some drug and you're going into cardiac arrest do you want the doctor to go "Hold on a second let me let me look this up."
I'm an engineer and my sister is a pharmacist. I don't interact with people and nothing needs to be known NOW. Heck I sat in a meeting where we had 5 engineers around the room and I was the youngest and we all broke out our Fluids books to figure out some mass transfer through a pipe.
On the other hand I just got out of ACL surgery. I wasn't feeling any effect from the Oxycotin (naturally high tolerance to all drugs) so I called my sister. She knew off the top of her head what would react with it and how much more I could take. Granted she also knows where to find the stuff if she doesn't know.
As I see it: Engineer: Where to find it>What it is Doctor: What it is>=Where to find it
