for god's sake, can you read the fucking README? go to the site linked in the original port, and read the fucking manual.
some of these ddos tools encrypt information like IPs; the keys are in the binaries. find_ddos decrypts the encrypted information.
being paranoid about installing some binary the fbi gives you is one thing, but being woefully underinformed and shooting off your mouth is intolerable as far as I'm concerned.
if the purpose of a patent is to encourage people to release details about their creation in exchange for protection from people stealign their idea, and thus advance technology in general, than whats the point of patenting somethign I can just go get the source for? (rtlinux is open source, I am imagining)
seems to me that the only real reason to do this is to defend against someone else patenting it, but it exists as open sourced prior art, so that probably wouldn't (or at least shouldnt) fly.
I was a little unclear about this initially too, but it turns out that dialpad uses a java applet to INSTALL itself on your computer, but the actual application is x86 windows code.
the idea of a java-based installer is pretty cool tho.
b. if you can't keep track of your pointers, maybe you should try an easier line of work (like pumping gas perhaps)
c. a scripting language will not do 99% of what needs to be done on a computer, and furthermore, what a scripting language _can_ do is usually done at decreased efficiency.
not an anti-perl rant, just an anti-perl-bigot rant. if you think perl is the only language that has any place in computing, you're obviously not very informed.
it's kind of funny to hear someone stand in canada and call the US "backwater", but I guess I have no choice but to let that slide.
however, you might want to think about why exactly it is that you are watching _amaerican_ television if you dislike our country so much. I'm sure theres some quality hockey or lumberjacking shows on your local tv. Or I suppose you could watch a lot of Red Green.
besides, we do have rights here: we have the right to develop intellectual property that is protected by our laws, among other rights.
I wonder if this will get blown out of proportion enough that the american networks will simply cut their feeds to canada.
broadcasters want to make money off advertising revenue. the more people that watch their stations, the more their advertising is worth. if 50% of their audience is suddenly bootlegging their telecast, the value of their advertising drops sharply even though the same number of people are watching.
ok, you know how when you watch baseball, at the end of the game it says:
"This telecast is the exclusive property of Major League Baseball. Any retransmission or rebroadcast without the express written consent of TV38, Major League Baseball, and the Red Sox is prohibited."
That pretty much says it all. The entities involved own the television broadcast and you are not allowed to retransmit it. I dunno about movies and tv programs, but I know the NFL's issues with iCrave are based on this.
are you serious? my cable (atlanta mediaone analog) does exactly the same thing. if this is due to some patent bullshit I am going to make some pretty pissed off phonecalls to whomever is responsible.
The microwave is your friend. Here's what I do to avoid wasting old CDs (AOL demos, promo stuff I dont want, etc):
put it in the microwave at high power for 3-5 seconds. you get to watch a wonderful little lightning show. (don't leave it in there longer than that or you'll break the magnetron.)
then take it out (caution: contents may be hot) and enjoy your new coaster. you can easily distinguish it from good discs by the fact that the metal layer is all cracked and shattered-looking.
you know, I'm a little confused by the inability of people to understand that some people don't choose to give their software away for free with source. why is this a bad thing? why all the hostility towards people who want to develop and market and sell a quality product? if these people are putting significant effort into creating software and free source doesn't fit into thier business model, why automatically discount this software as BAD and why characterize the companies who develop it as TURNCOATS? why can't you just accept this as another option for people who want faster GL?
you know, if they just printed on the package: "heat in your microwave on its highest setting for 4 seconds per watt of your microwave" or whatever was appropriate, and we were all smart enough to do a little arithmetic, we could leave the interent out of it completely (and we could do this all with current hardware.)
I'm not saying I htink the bill of rights is "bad" or unneccessary; I'm saying that I demand all of what's in the Bill of Rights even if there was no Bill of Rights, and furthermore, I demand things that aren't in the Bill of Rights. your rights don't stop where that document stops, you just have to fight a little harder for those rights that aren't "given" to you.
My friend tried to short LNUX the day it opened, and on paper he made a bunch of money. E*Trade emailed him and told him this was not permissible and his paper gain was void.
whether this is an e*trade issue or an SEC issue, I dunno, but I can't imagine the SEC would allow this sort of thing.
I think that your 5 reasons geeks aren't getting laid are valid, but I have to question whether these reasons are unique to geeks. I think they apply pretty much equally to everyone who is looking for a date.
Frankly, I don't really want to hear about some girl's job when I'm getting to know here - jobs are, by and large, the most boring thing about any given person.
Lots of people work long hours. My girlfriend is up at 6:15 in the frickin morning, monday through friday. maybe she's not hunched over a CRT at 3:15 in the morning, but I don't get up until 10ish and lemme tell you, being up at 6:15 to go to work is a foreign to me as being at work until after midnight is to her.
Anyone who likes their job can run the risk of become overabsorbed in it. occupational hazard when you have a good job. and if you've ever noticed, people who hate their jobs are by and large a pissed-off, disagreeable bunch (because they're miserable all week.) so I would venture that most well-tempered people who are smiling in a bar at the end of the week are going to like their job and therefore, run the risk of really _really_ liking their job.
Computers aren't that hard to understand. no more so than law is difficult to understand (from a lawyer's point of view) or particle physics is to understand (from a particle physicist's point of view). your logic would suggest that women are more difficult to understand than the average guy's specialty; I would agree with that. following your logic would mean no men understand women. duh.
The maleto female ratio in silicon valley hurts everyone equally. of course, if you're in silicon valley, chances are youre a tech worker, so I suppose this point is the one which most applies to tech workers, even though it applies to everyone in the valley.
so you see, its not hard for geeks to get girls - its equally hard for everyone who has a job, likes is a lot, might work some somewhat unconventional hours, can't understand females, and lives in the valley. except for the valley part, that's everyone I know.
so quit bitching and brush your teeth everyone, and remember: if you don't talk to girls you won't get laid.

I don't get this at all.
if this is so obvious, wheres your realtime implementation of linux?
what do you mean, schools should have thought about this a long time ago? there arent colleges giing out laptops at very low prices?
I was a little unclear about this initially too, but it turns out that dialpad uses a java applet to INSTALL itself on your computer, but the actual application is x86 windows code.

a. I write reusable code all the time

I'm pretty sure this was ITS at MIT - Hackers by Stephen Levy mentions this situation in the MIT section.
MPAA movie ratings are displayed at the end of the film. Ignorance is not an excuse for breaking the law.

you can't find any definitive wayt o say people are using napster? ever hear of tcpdump? the protocol isn't that complicated, guys...

thank you pedantic people. :P
evil? try this:
int *p, *q, r;
*p = 4;
*q = 2;
r = *p/*q;
