    That's the most sensible thing I've ever heard.

  2. Re:Boys are naturally curious... on Solving the Mystery of Declining Female CS Enrollment · · Score: 1

    You must find putting everyone in your boxes pretty easy.

    When I was a young man my insurance company found it very profitable to box me up in their stereotypes. I never received a refund for not getting any tickets like the stereotype depicted.

    Wow, I just googled the guy and he really does look like Dr. McCoy although after a few seconds of wow I came to a problem - what if the voice is WAY off?

  7. Pandora on Comparison of Pandora and Last.fm · · Score: 1

    I just went to Pandora's website and entered William Shatner as my starting artist and I got Scott Walker, Ulysses, and shocking as it may seem William Shatner. I got a kick out of their description of William Shatner's music though :-)

    The guy who takes as much as he can carry and calls his friends is a dick, but a criminal?

    I do agree with you on that. My original post was just pointing out that it wasn't overly funny on the kids part. But as others have posted, if a bunch of people visit said website because of interest thats great. But what I was refering to is if some ill-minded person decided to refresh my site a zillion times just out of meaness I'd be upset. Not so upset to ever consider the law, but upset enough to try and ban his IP :)

  9. Re:What joke? on Felony For Refreshing a Web Page? · · Score: 1

    I used freeshell for ages but I needed an inexpensive mySQL server as I'm too lazy to change HTML files, upload, check, etc. Mediawiki is totally sweet, I can edit in my browser from anywhere, upload a picture if needed (again, from the browser). When school starts again collaboration of projects will be a lot easier.

    I will be moving back to freeshell though once they update their PHP server to 4.4.1

    The dude clearly was wanting to disrupt the schools website

    My personal website gets charged strictly for bandwidth and storage. If someone had a grudge against me and did this it would COST rather then just slow it down.

    Wouldn't a move like this greatly help AMD's image?

    If its good enough for Microsoft, its good enough for us, right boss?

  20. Re:wi-Fi grumble on Multi-Room Wireless Sound System? · · Score: 1

    Um- I think you need to be a bit less security concious,

    Firewall has always been disabled.
    Also disabled SPI Firewall

    Your access point is a 2nd NAT router.
    Yes

    It needs to be within the same subnet as the rest of your system.
    Always has been.
    192.168.0.xxx
    255.255.255.0

    You need to open up so that no TCP/UDP ports are filtered.
    Its just a basic NAT, no firewall. But EchoLink ports are forwarded to
    a specific machine, but besides that nothing special.

    In addition to that, you'd probably need all the computers for the LAN party in the DMZ.

    Both Netgears I purchased only allow me to DMZ one machine

  21. wi-Fi grumble on Multi-Room Wireless Sound System? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I bought a MR814 V3 & WGR614 V4 Netgear to play UT2004 wirelessly with my wired server. *cough* to Say the least its not pleasant with LAN parties on WLAN cards.

    For some odd reason I can't share the LAN wirelessly, only the gateway/NAT (internet) on the WAN port. Can't even ping any LAN connected computers while connected wirelessly, but loads slashdot like a charm though.

    So, whats this wireless resource sharing everybody speaks of?

    Man, my halogen lamp on low setting takes more then that thing.

    Same thing for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. MPEG-4 is actually somewhat worse, as there's fees on the media too per disc and per stream per hour for streaming).
