    ---So it was an appropriate comment, saying wine users are not MS customers, like a bochs or vmware user might be. Of course, wine is a windows emulator...that's the point, it is not genuine windows, is emulating windows, but WGA recognises it as genuine.

    Well, I call that doing a darn good good at emulation.

    Bullshit. It's EMULATING a winapi interface on a Linux kernel and accompaning libraries accessable to X.

    Computer Science. To imitate the function of (another system), as by modifications to hardware or software that allow the imitating system to accept the same data, execute the same programs, and achieve the same results as the imitated system.

    There's nothing about "doing binary machine language translation" or things like that.

    Look at kuro5hin's rating system. In a democratic system, participation is the key. AT that site, very few comments are rated upon. The few that are rated are the...

    1: Master parent in big thread.
    2: 1 and 2 child of master parent (in a big thread)
    3: Obscene trolls (...you donkey-raping shit eater...)

    Past that, not many care. Of course we have had a few mod-trolls who create a few accounts to run everything into hidden (similar to beiong -1'ed here), but are countered by the users actually participate for a short while.

    Since the voices on K5 get out, nobody cares about democracy. Just hop on over there if you dont believe me.

  12. Re:Torrents can be bogus too. on Reputation System Fights P2P Junk · · Score: 1

    Correct, torrent chunks DO have hash checking, but torrent agents also allow parts of chunks to be stored until a complete chunk can be completed.

    If a rogue torrent clinet were created to give bad sub-units of data, they could corrupt a large amount of chunks. That would in turn create networks with small hash-files and %failed chunk recording.

    Where I live (Columbus, IN), we have lots of 4 ways out in the countryside, including a cluster of them near about 5 big factories about 7 mi south of town.

    The way we solve that "simultaneous pullup" is we wave others to go ahead to 'create' a stagger. Very few collisions happen near those stopsigns. And it helps to have non-rude people.

  19. Re:A socialist perspective ( yes, insert flame her on Intel Cutting Linux Out of Content Market · · Score: 1

    Very interesting.

    Have you ever thought about posting this stuff ofver at kuro5hin.org ? It'd fit much better than here. Most wouldnt read it past the first 2 paragraphs.

    I do have one point about content. "Content" is created either by copyright (works of music, books, movies...), patents (process, how-to), or trademarks (pictures/words linking to certain product). Im unsure what your opinion who the ownership should belong to (possibly the whole of the citizens, but temporially proxy-owned by creator), but why do we allow transferrance of these 3 protections?

    If someone creates a neat new song, they've created it. Not Disney, not MGM, not anybody else. The creator created it. I understand that you can license it to others (as in a copy right) but why do we allow full transferrance of copyright, patents, or trademarks?

    I guess the problem Im trying to solve in bringing this idea up is the gathering of huge corporations that "own" these properties.

  20. Re:ridiculous article, company LAN = filtered on What's On Your Network? · · Score: 1

    Ive never found a filter that I couldnt subvert.

    To take care of TCP blocking, just make a home webserver, and encapsulate everything in bla bla bla . This simple tactic gets past dumb content filters that look for webpages only. Better if you encrypt "bla bla bla" in some non-cpu intensive computation.. Perhaps XOR with a shared key.

    To get around UDP blocking, well.... if the company doesnt have a domain server set up, usually 53 is allowed in/out. Just change ports appropiately to that one. If they DO have a domain server, try to take its IP and MAC and spoof it so you can take advantage of the (most likely hole) 53/udp hole allowed by that machine.

    The last trick I use is to throw fragged packets at it. Most devices dont know what to do if you heavily fragged or large packets at it. Simpleton routers (like cisco schmuck) have no clue when you run 2 sets of FRAGROUTER through ip tunnels and then hit the outside of your computers. There was even one such device (not cisco, mind you) that would literally start smoking if you send "weird packets" at it. I noted this problem on alt.binaries.hacking when I got one of those devices for "testing".
