Word verification has been broken allready, by crosslinking the image to a website.

Often in return for pictures of people with alzheimers that forgot to put clothes on.
I better start saying im a proud Dane. I havent heard about it until a few weeks ago either. The "case" has been resting since the 70's -where i was actually busy fighting with my brother about small toys.
I have no clue who is actually entitled to it, im sure there are many opinions about that, but i think most wouldnt give a damn about the island itself - which is more useless than melted snowball, but... When/if climate changes, the island can become more important,actually the vicinity around it. I have heard oil and fishing industry mentioned too in this context. So i can understand why nobody just wants to let go of it. Maybe we should split the island like Berlin after WW2..:) Or maybe Denmark should just send the entire fleet (both ships) and invade Canada !
Yes it will make a transmission error, but due to the nature of tcp/ip it wont be a big problem.
However it means that each time you step on a snail from now on, you will have to pick it up, look at the source adress, and send back an icmp code 11,0 (time to live expired in transit).
Its exactly 2 years since that rfc for setting an evil bit in packets appeared, but nothing happened since then ? http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3514.html
German scientists dug 50 meters down and discovered small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 15,000
years ago had DSL.
Naturally, the Russian government was not that easily impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down they found small pieces of glass
and they soon announced that the ancient Russians 20,000
years ago already had a nation-wide fiber net.
American scientists were outraged by this. They dug 200 meters down & found absolutely nothing. They happily concluded that the ancient Americans 25,000 years ago had wireless network.
If you havent tried TFC, i can only recommend to give it a try. Its 99.9% identical to the "real thing". Ofcourse its just on the wrong platform, but #amigaquake is kinda empty theese days..
Enemy Territory is actually a very nice game ! There is allways a good teamplay on the servers, since carrying out the special functions your class have, gives rewards. Its selfish at the end, but team benefits from it.
2 of my favorite games combined in one , what more can you ask for -besides peace in middle east and a bl*wjob:)
Ill deffintly lookout for that one, thanks for the hint!
It was the first multiplayer shooting game i ever played. I played it first time as a quake1 mod on my Amiga1200 (using the ppc version on the stunning 603cpu.),and i still play it under steam ~ 10 years after.
I wonder what the exact definition of spyware is according to that bill ?
Theoretically the cookie set by/. when you read this is spyware, while the gator and 30 browserhijacks/toolbars/etc you volunteerly installed and accepted thru a 30 pages long eula isnt ?
Not to mention various pieces of software that installs on windows machines when you try play a regular audio CD..
Its imho a good thing to ban spyware, but im just really unsure what to ban..
"With the latest version of firefox, it checks for program updates automatically, it downloads program patches, and it attempts to find necessary plugins for pages and install them if you tell it to. "
Sounds like everything i hate about IE with default configuration ?
Indeed it was, but it sure also had some flaws.
Learning by the mistakes of it, and write a smarter anti-virus-virus, im sure you could generally benefit from it. Personally i prefer to see a little log entry in my firewall, than 500 pieces of spam in my inbox.
No doubt its an unusual approach, but what other (working) methods do you suggest to wipe out 50 new variants ?
Actually.. i know its been tried before, i think it was code red/nimda ?, where someone made a patch spreading in same manner, but instead it patched the systems.
About time to try that concept again ? I know its gonna generate some traffic, but 1 new variant amongst 50+ new others isnt much.
Consider pro/cons
+ you could patch most of the vulnerable systems by including the official M$ patch + inform the user that the pc is victim of a virus and lead him/her to a virusscan. + remove the original virus, or some of the variants. + save bandwidth/spam for each pc fixed [1]
-generate more traffic [1] nothing compared to the current amount of net traffic and spam it generates. -would be illegal
Worth to consider imho, if you write it properly and not suffer from same flaws as the codered one did. Im sure you could do far more good than harm.
beagle.sourceforge.net might not be the proper place for it though:)

Please keep in mind this is taking in place in USA.
I would keep an eye on the "stella awards" site in near future..
RFC1149 are known to suffer from big packetloss during hunting season...
Old joke, the ./ way:

Im willing to trade CS:source to TFC:source.

I dont think he gives a sh*t about modpoints or karma, exposing his referal link to get a free monitor, seems top priority.
