I understood is point, I didn't say "huh", nor did I otherwise get confused. Sheesh. Even the "Hacker Exploit Papers" have jokes and innuendos spiced about. And they're considered 'professional'.
And if you're married, create a legal teergrube for them. Explain all your research to your wife/husband and have them draft and submit a patent. Then attempt to sell a product by Copyrighting all usable names for this product. Seed the idea everywhere you can in newsgroups, mail lists, and chat rooms.
Use all of thse 'weapons' as a self-destructing blackmail. As in, you take this patent away from me, I'll kill the patent by legal kill.
The best way is to have as many in the grad class do this. It'll hurt the pocket dollar of these colleges.
I'm on eof the main implementers in a new Wisp/Consulting agency. And trust me, these things are waaaaay overpriced (in my opinion).
The these BCU's do is ethernet to ethernet bridging and shaping based on Ip address/Mac address. Linux bridging is simple as crap since it all auto-senses each side and redirects packets. the only problem is finding something that can shape 384/128 and 768/384 by IP. We lock IP to mac by a static dhcp.
I found a program called BandwidthArbitrator www.bandwidtharbitrator.com for Linux. Seems to do that and a bit more. Is there anything else that fairly easily does shaping in Linux? tc's just a bitch to teach anybody else in my small company to use. Most of them are advanced windows admins, and I'm the Unix/Linux guy.
Anyways, for a 300MHz p2, 32MB ram, and I believe , a 20 MB flashrom for updating and adding users is not worth 3000$.
And also, we've had some really bad luck with the 4.2 Ft 2.5 GHz wireless poles from YDI. And they charge 40$ for PoE. Essentially a power brick outputting 19V and 3A connected to TX. BEWARE that they do this.
>>>>Since MS is the 900lb gorilla, they have a lot more freedom to do the pushing than the following.
Well, how can you take down a 900lb gorilla? Simple; 1,000,000 mosquitos. Each one just takes a small drop, but they eventually add up. And each drop of blood equals food for its youngin's. Then you get more and more mosquitos. They feed off of each others success.
In a way, thats the way open source works. We're all blood suckers. We just give it freely.
>>>You accidently wrote "unprovable" instead of "contradictory and fantastical".
No, I didnt mistake it. Contradictory in the english versions, yes. I've never read the original manuscrpts so I cannot state those are as you say. Only if proof is found to validate certain events that are "Mystical", they will be believed only by the belivers of this faith.
For example, if a nebula/dwarf was found that exploded at 1 AD, would be proof that a star supernova'ed. However, Chinese records show no unnatural phemonon in the sky. Nor do most other cultures who kept star charts.
And to answer your other question, Yes. Catholics put sciences back by 500 or so years by demanding that obsolete views were the chrchs sanctioned and ONLY views. That goes against what I believe as a scientist. I also believe that Islam has stayed at the same level of socieial acceptance as they were in 1400 AD. But evn then, they accepted other religions. Now, they lack even that tolerance.
They're even worse than Chinese with religous matters, as the Chinese believe religion "Is the opiate of the people". Of course, the do accept Buddhaism(?) as much of the population acceps it, and they have non-violence teachings.
Thanks for defending me. Some do seem to have a problem separating fact and belief. Belief does not require a solid fact(s) to be believed. It is done by faith alone. Science is the other side. Simply put "Prove It" is the saying in science. And I like it that way.
>>>Second it is self-contradictory as he complains that a game such as this trivializes the Bible ( which I agree) and then says "The rest of the bible is unprovable".
It may sound self-contradictory, but historians agree on certain parts of the Bible as Fact because of physical evidence from the events told in the bible. I just said you cannot assume it's all real. The unprovable is _faith_
>>>>>Thirdly There is the suggestion that Christianity has devolved ( vis his suggestion of the same for islam) I belive this to be true from his perspective but while chritianity had gone through many changes Christianity has not, rather it is the fullfillment of Judaism.
I also agree with the exact same sentament as I do with Islam. Catholic put sciences back 500 years by the church putting silence and death to all those who oppose. We eventually grew out of that (thans to Martin Luther and kin). Islam seemed to never grow out of that, even though they were the most influential force in the 14'th century for schools, intelllect and trade. Since then, it's been downhill. They never seemed to learn that "beating women" is not ok, relgous tolerance and the like that civilised nations DO follow.
>>>>>as Jesus never claimed to be a Christian but did prove Himself to be ha Moshiach ( the Messiah, in greek the Christ). Finally Now the games/ gaming company itself. This company seems to be playing up on the heretical "Word-Faith" movement, who have brought us such memmorable tennants as the bible code, and belive it be it.
What I have a problem with is this company is trivilazing the whole religion of Allah/God/Yahwea (?) which includes Christians, Jewish, and Islamics. All for the sense of profit. That, in my mind is ethically wrong. Ethically wrong by fooling players (who are probably young) into thinking that Jesus was some sort of Super-hero like "The Hulk" or "Spider Man", or a "Mutant". Parents'll be fooled by buying a 'nice religous' game.
>>>>>As with any mythos there is a lot that can be explored, my issue with it is that quite honestly people are easily confused between myth/fantasy and reality/truth in story telling, and that it guises itself in a veil of truth while being false.
I think the "Indiana Jones" movies did it best. They made obtaining 2 religous artifacts the plot of 2 of the movies (The cup of the last supper, and the ark of the covenant). The show, albeit secular, was done tastefully and well.
>>>>>With that i think I will start my first log entry feel free to drop by my page here on slashdot later today or early tomarrow to see it and comment.
Good luck. I hope you dont get as many religion-haters as I did for my moderation.. And thanks for defending me;-)
Shit companies like this. I'm Catholic myself, and this trivializes the whole bible.
Many events have been found to be true (biblical wars) and history has accepted after finding evidence as FACT. The rest of the bible is unprovable, hence why it's a RELIGION.
Why not make an Islamic-based Religous RPG? Go through years and find how they de-evolved.
Sooo, you'd outsource your sysad's and techs, and confidential-business information to people you cant even touch? I know you can easily remote admin a server, but what about meat-space problems?
Outsourcing works for phone support and menial programming jobs. Still, you pay for quality..
If we're not going to get out cheap-ish VOIP equipment, why not use some sort of a Phone DNS.
Have a number 1-800-DNS-HOME or something and have an ID. No matter what new carrier you have, you jsut call up and goto administrator on your acct and change the phone pointer.
Yeah, it'll cost, but Verizon, Cingular, et al, wont complain as they cant.
>>>>The big boys probably cannot be bothered to put up a site on growing blueberries. Where's the profit in it? Oh sure, if one corner of one portion of one of their consumer outlets of the corporate spigot wants to do a piece on blueberries because their latest polling found a 3.4% increase in interest in a key demographic in a semi-important market for them, they will post some corporate-ugly site on blueberries.
Very true. Most small sites arent as 'professional' looking, but more information can be found on them than most any corporate sites. Corporates will lie to sell their own shit, or have stockholders to cater to, while a simple site will have 1 person do the whole thing. They'll control content and most of the time, enjoy it in the process.
>>>>>Meanwhile, the guy or gal who really enjoys growing blueberries will put up a site out of the love of the activity -- and it will show in the way they write about blueberries. Those who are interested will seek that site out rather than the Blueberry, Inc. (R) (all rights reserved) (copy anything from us and feel our lawyer's wrath) site. It only gets 100 or 200 hits a day? The site owner is thrilled.
I've found a few of my own sites like that. remix.overclocked.org just shows that community non-profit driven website for the fun it is. And prsonally, there's a few remixers (of game music) that would be damned hard to distinguish from real (check out Russel Cox - beautiful stuff he does).
>>>>>>People speaking to people directly. That's the Web, that's what it's for, that's what the megacorps would love to curtail or corral. But the Web will always be about people speaking to people. In that context, small works.
Kinda funny how the net's doing a full cycle on the web. I remembered the old altavista.digital.com for what it originally was: links to sites people found interestng. Only then did it start to implement a search engine, and a rudimentary one at that. And as time went on, they thought they could make it more "corporate". By the time they turned the text-only cookie off, I was at google.
The web was never about e-commerce, corporate web sites, or any of the filler. It was a way you could have your own piece of the way the world was. You could put out what you thought and say, and let others contact you through email. Or course then, you actually connected to their email server and use it.
In a way, it's been changed back to the beginning.
Electro-shock was put to rest after the show "One Flew Over the Cucoo's Nest". The movie was based in a mental institution where shock was punishment, rather than cure.
Electro-shock is rarely used. The only cases I can remember is drug-resistant extreme depression. There's a decent chance of perminent cure, but you can lose parts of your middle and long term memories.
Seems like all these games are based on the same pap. But _ALL_ games these days have to have some sort of MMO counterpart. If I wanted to be with other people, I wouldnt be on a computer.
What exactly makes this game "Soo Radically Different" than every other game? Seems like a reskin and replot of other similar MMO games.
