I get that too on occasion. it depends a lot on what the seeder to leach ratio is. If there's a relatively high number of complete or near copies and a relatively low number of leechers who also have low bandwith to d-load you can get high speeds down while uploading relatively little, But try to get 230 down while only pushing 2k up. Damn near impossible, and if you do pull it off a lot of seeders have gotten wise to leechers and will hit you with the ban hammer fast than you can say Sir. tiddlywinks...
I suppose they'll have that Episode 1 parody done in time for the release of the Complete Ultimate Expanded Special Edition Star Wars Sextrilogy Holographic Cube Box Set in 2019...
sorry, you're right. But I think 'Cat' kinda gets into the Long timeline (or atleast thats what I remember) which is probably why I equate Moon with the Long books.
like the parent said Starship Troopers and the Moon is a Harsh Mistress should be the first two, in any order you like.
Stuff I recommend you avoid unless you find out you really like Hienlein is "The Cat who walks through walls" "Time enough for Love" and defintely "I will fear no Evil". Frankly I think all his Lazurus Long books except 'Moon' are trash.
"A Door into Summer" is a favourite of mine, and Its not one of the ones people talk about much. I wouldn't say 'Friday' is dull, its just mostly fluff.

In my experience this seems to happen a lot, especially with teenage boys. My first Heinlein was Starship Troopers and I still thinks its was of the best books ever written. But the more you read of Heinlein, especially his later stuff like I will Fear no Evil the more you begin to either really hate or really love him, becuase he really does go all Ayn Rand at the end there.
But in a way thats good I suppose. If people either love you or hate you then you must really be saying something.
None of us, and there were atleast 30 of us, put or lives on hold. We weren't there 24/7. I was a student at the time and I would drop by after classes and hang out with my fellow geeks and then go home at night, I never slepty over even though I had planned on doing it atleast once.
Mostly we were there only in the afternoon and night. I was there some mornings because the morning shows (Good morning America etc) like to come by and make fun of us in their smug way, and I figured it was my duty to disapoint them in their search for the fat, pale stereotype. I was interveiwed by at least 6 different news companies, including one from Japan and Argentina, and it was fun even if they did try their best to make me look foolish.
No one actaually slept over until the last week before the premiere and contrary to popular belief we all showered regularly. A couple of the people who had flown in for the lineup (one guy from Denmark)had hotel rooms in the hotel next to zeigfeld. So even if we were total rabid geeks, we weren't unwashed losers, even if the media maintained that stereotype.
the wierd thing is that 4 years ago I was lined up in front of the Zeigfield in NYC for 3 weeks awaiting the release of what I was sure would be the greatest movie ever made.
Now I can barely bring myself to skim the synopsis for ep 3.
Thanks George Lucas for showing me just how meaningless most of my childhood was.
exactly. That the difference between a show like The Shield and Nip/tuck and your average Law and Order or ER clones. On a Cable network your audience is streamlined and very distinct. Networks need advertisers more so they're trying to bring in everyone. Even networks with with specific demos (WB, UPN) can't afford to pull some of the stuff that would be easy to push on FX or Spike or something...
...is that sound of million fan boys having sudden explosive orgasms.
With Farscape returning, maybe we do have some control over this behemoth called television.
Now the just need to announce a reality show where they put the network execs who greenlighted past reality shows on a jungle island and let frustrated TV veiwers hunt them with bow and arrows...
Websters Dictionary defines 'disagree' as "To have a differing opinion."
Since it was a fact that the parent posted "... if you want someone to improve their security, don't go to the admin with your 'sploit, but anonymously release it into the wild."
and the AC replied, false accusing the parent of not reading the article through reasoning that leads me to believe that he himself did not read the parents comment thoroughly, I feel justified in calling him a fucktard. Now you may disagree whether my use of the word fucktard was proper in this context, or whether assweed, cunthole, shitbrain or some other projorative would have been more fitting, for that my friend IS a matter of opinion.
fucktard. The parent is saying that he should have just released it right away anon. Instead of trying to "Do the right thing" and go through official channels first. Read and undertand the comment before you start trying to discredit the commentor.
West Coast dockworkers will earn an average of $112,000 for handling cargo
are you fucking with me? I worked at UPS in NY (about 3 miles from where the WTC was) and got paid 9.50 an hour for doing the exact same shit. Handling cargo. And I was in a union, didn't do shit for me. for 112,000 a year I'd go back.
Thats interesting. If one of these private companies manages to get to the moon and stake out a plot (think Moonsteads) do they automatically achieve soveriegn nation status?
Somebody should pitch this idea to MS, think how much they can save in taxes...
I still watch some TV. Just not on my TV anymore. Thank God for bittorrent where you can grab an episode of your favourite show commercial free, hours or sometimes days before it airs.
It also helps that the vast majority of stuff on TV now is crap. Reality shows and Family sitcoms...
I might recommend Fox News to tell The Simpsons to get rid of all copies of the episode and to never have it shown, at the most.
not going to happen. Come on this is the Simpson's were talkiing about. They relentlessly bash they're own network and get away with it because, no one at Fox News is stupid enough to mess with the 800lb cash cow. I'd like to see Fox news take them on. You think they looked stupid after the Al Franken thing, wait till Greoning and company has a real reason to go after them.
I use spybot too. In new versions you can schedule autoscans which if it isn't as good as real-time. will catch most stuff before they wreak havoc if you have it scan once a week or so. TinyFirewall (which used to be free, damn them and there profit making ways) is nice too in that it'll catch stuff trying to install itself and alert you. The setup curve on it is horrible though. You'll spend a week authorizing prgrams before its gets to a point where it won't bug you every 15 seconds.
cat shit has a wierd sharp afterodor that dogshit doesn't. I've found its realitively easy to get rid of dogshit odor quickly it pretty much localizes. cat shit odor on the other hand travels and adheres to stuff. You have to Febreve the fuck out of everything to get rid of it, and it never truly does completely leave...
epoxy encapsulation. Basically means they encase the electronics in glue.
They mus have never heard of solvents. If they can stick it, someone (and I'll be trying, working in a bio-chem lab has its advanatges...) will melt it.
man at that price I'd defintely buy it. How long do they think its going to take some Uber-geek to figure all there DMCA bull shit boot Linux on that badboy.
Those people who belive that eventually client side security will work crack me up...
yeah I stopped paying for SWG. The whole reason I started in the first place was the promise of true pPlayer Run Cities. and wouldn't you know it the shipped the game without it...
Lucas and company as just making it easier and eaiser to get over my Battered Star Wars fan delusional thinking.
Besides "white hat" hacking is the stuff of bored college students and do-gooder long beards. We can't have Corporations picking up that trend. I mean in this economy its probably the best way to get a job. Just ask the kid who smuggled the box cutters on all those SW planes. As soon as this thing blows over Security Firms are going to be fighting to recruit him.
Assuming he doesn't get a side trip to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison first.
Charles Manson has asked that public stop refering to the acts of his folloers as a "Murder Spree". The correct term is "existence adjustment initiative"...

I'll probably download ep 3 anyway...

God I wish they would. Then you'd see anon encryted stuff like Freenet actually start working.
not in Cali apparently. I didn't notice any sales tax on my shiny new laptop. or New York. My aunts desktop didn't have any either...
