Last time I bought a Linksys - I had to go through hoops using their Cisco SES crap before the wireless was even enabled. The thing was practically screaming bloody murder that I didn't want security... for the moment I wanted it open and clear so my nvram settings would be clear for the dd-wrt flashing.
Recording Executive: Give me my $20! $4.95 of that is for production costs and only $0.05 is going to the musicians, but that doesn't matter! Never mind that I didn't actually do anything!
Slashdotter: Fuck off greedy bastards!
Executive: Waaah! Our 75% profit margin is dropping! I might have to do something to make money! (cries)
Correct, "piracy" is not right. But the rampant ripping off of the RIAA and other such companies/organizations is more so.
I put piracy in quotes as it is not really piracy. Piracy would be downloading songs, burning to disk, and selling for more than the medium cost - for example out of a car trunk.
Downloading music to put on your MP3 player for personal use is copyright violation, but is not piracy. Allowing others to download from you for free is copyright violation (unauthorized distribution) but is not piracy.
Best to direct it to a local address that will explicitly deny the connection (rather than just time-out as "cloaked" ports do)
usually 'localhost' - which if course resolves to 127.0.0.1 works, unless you are running a webserver on your host - then things cna get funny!
Or you could be a jackass and set it to a broadcast address on your subnet, like 192.168.1.255 and be amused if the web browser actually follows through with it.
I thought pipelining was when you took one connection and used it for downloading multiple resources, saving bandwith and time on connection re-establishments.
I see what you are getting at though. There is no reason that you should load a websites resources in serial if they span multiple hosts. Not sure why web browsers do that. (making sure that there is only one transfer to/fro a single host makes it easier for the servers to manage their load - lower load over more time rather than spikes of large load)
That's no excuse! A modern computer is one of the most complex machines known to Man, yet everyone expects to be able to use one without danger.
They make you test to get a license to use firearms, drive cars, fly aircraft, sail large ships, operate heavy machinery, work with volatile chemicals. But just anyone can hop on a computer, and damn if it's their fault something gets fucked up. Heaven forbid they freaking PAY ATTENTION to what the hell they are doing and use more than 3 braincells at a time! It's all insane.
Please tell me I am not crazy for thinking like this.
Wow, thats irritating. Hopefully someone decides to follow their releases and package tarballs themselves, in spite of MySQL. Unless of course MySQL are just doing it to be lazy, which is entirely possible.
Not so much technology but mathematics. Yes, we defiantly have the math to calculate the orbit. My cell phone can figure out the exact azimuth and elevation of the sun and moon using only my coordinates and the date and time. Celestial mechanics are very well understood.
If we knock the asteroid off our orbital plane, and then knock it away from the sun slightly on its periapsis we can even knock it right out of earth's orbit completely. (periapsis being the shortest poles of an elliptical orbit)
Besides, we can let it hit us, or we can knock it away and it might come close to hitting us again... we have better chances with the second option.
OK, think how far that damn warhead will be after 2-5 years worth of travel? that asteroid will be moving a helluva lot faster than that warhead, so the distance they are thinking of is extreme. You probably wouldn't be able to see the explosion with a terrestrial telescope.
Add to that distance the fact that the radiation, well... radiates in all directions, and the very small peice of that radiation that would reach the earth is going to be, in whole, less than that coming out from the diode in your TV remote.
The thing will be so large and so fast, and so far away, even knocking it slightly off course will likely steer it farther away!
Space is really, really, really big, and things move really, really, really fast.
My question is why would you link part of a program intended to be run under a DOS emulator... to the DOS emulator? Especially when said program runs fine in said emulator unmodified?
It doesn't make any sense, I can't see why the programmers would do such a thing - sounds like a waste of manpower and time.
In which they only need to offer the source of DOSBox including their modifications to it. Unless they copied the GPL code from dosbox into the games and recompiled, which is extremely unlikely, this still has no bearing on anything except including (or otherwise providing) the code for DOSBox.
I love konqueror too, but I hate how it mangles a lot of web pages. Slashdot in particular looks like shit (misrenders)
I'm not sure if its the web pages, or KHTML at fault, but I wish it would be fixed. I'm fairly certain it's the web pages, as a lot of pages look perfect.
You let grub automatically configure itself? Hell no! I install and configure GRUB myself. I have never had a problem once I fixed my own issues (usually typos in the config file or other stupid mistakes - that's why you keep a bootable disk handy. It's nice to just load up a bootdisk and edit a text file, rather than find and run the appropriate LILO executable...)
I don't really like LILO, as it is nowhere near as flexible in my experience, but it works fine as well.
As a matter of fact, I don't remember having troubles with ANY bootloader I've used, even the Windows ones... they don't just break on their own.
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds like he is just killing the process. That will leave a ghost system tray icon until you mouse over it.
You can just right click on the task bar to get to the task manager also, so clicking around works.
The solution is to run the filter as a system level service and deny users access to kill it (lots of services can do that).
Sounds like a shitty program for sure.
You could try cracking a joke that had something to do with the article, or at the very least to a comment.
That post was a waste of all our time, and a moderators mod points, and your Karma.

Well then, feel free to call me a rampant kleptomaniac.
In which case I will break said law without remorse or consideration.

The ability of peers to share trackers, or for a tracker to provide other trackers.
This is slightly dangerous, but if implemented properly it shouldn't be too insecure.
Unless I'm "special" and just don't realize that it already does that...
I'm a subscriber and I still get that crap. See? I even have the subscriber karma bonus!

Did you miss the bit about them releasing the blueprints?
Even if creating THIS chip is over the abilities of 99% of companies/people, producing a less-powerful one based on it is very possible

Thanks for the NSFW warning, dipshit. Luckily nobody was behind me and I'm a fast ALT-F4 user.
