the media in the US is completely ignorant of ALL important things local news is always: who got murdered, sports and weather more national news is always about how great bush is to get real news the only place you can turn is the internet
what scares me is how no one seems to know about any of this
we just had the more hurricanes this seasonS in recorded history
also their is some atlantic jetstream current that is failing to continue northward to europe like it has for the last god knows how many million years.. which means the temperature of UK area SHOULD be dropping if not for the counterbalancing effect of global warming
the climate of our world HAS already changed. and is continueing to change
here is a news posting i made march 10, 2002 on my delinquentminds.com website, after being hosted with them for 2 years they deleted my site for no valid reason and without warning and denied me access to my own files.
"It has been a rough week! My previous webhost, hypermart, deleted the website march 1st. They claimed i was hosting Pirated Software, Serial keys, and/or Copyrighted Software. I sent repeated emails to them and even called them telling them that their reasons were simply incorrect, i cant pirate my own software, even if it is copyrighten (BY ME!) and i had no serials
5 days later they decide they will send it to their abuse department and have them check into it
I asked if i could connect to the FTP to get my files, cause i hadnt backed up the site in about 2 years (oops) so all the file counts, forum posts, forum members, hit count,.. the entire files page, forum settings and changes to forums cgi code to work with delinquentminds were all not backed up! (thought i had a more recent backup but i guess i lost it)
They said NO i couldnt, i told him about MY FILES that they had and they refused..
so after being hosted by them for 2 years. they delete my site without warning, dont even bother to make sure they did it for a valid reason till 5 days later, and flat out deny me to back my site up, this is how hypermart treats their "valued members"
they did say they would have abuse check it out though and they would decide within the hour, so i set up my ftp client to continuously try to connect to the ftp site, hoping i could connect at some point when they were investigating, or if they found it to be alright, and get my damn files!!
2-3 hours later i connected! i was totally surprised. my site was back up, this was wednesday
I started the FTP backing up the site and went to post the biggest rant about how hypermart sucks on the news:) when i went to update the news with the new story 2-3 minutes later the site was deleted again!!!!
and when i checked the FTP, it was getting permission denied on all the files:(
but before they managed to lock me out again i did get all the forum members, the forum cgi scripts, the files and files index.. but i didnt get the old forum posts so the forum is started over with 0 posts.
apparently the reason they deleted me the 2nd time was because someone from blizzard sent them an email claiming hacks are illegal, which is Bull***t, DMCA doesnt say shit about editing process memory in windows. Some guy on another website claimed he sent a spoofed email("from blizzard") to my host to get me deleted..
Anyway so hypermart f***ed me for the last time, i moved the site to a new host! Not everything is set up here 100% though, until i figure out how to send mail from cgi scripts on this server i cant accept new registrations on the forum,
Everything else appears to be working correctly, If you notice any errors post them on the forum under website comments!"
theres no way they could be the new alliance race, they are supposed to be allied with blood elves (the new horde race) but also ferverently hate orcs so i doubt theyd even be considered
also they are supposed to be able to stealth while moving. Alliance already has a shadowmelding race, and stealth while moving is a rogue skill. they wouldnt make a race with a class skill
for a while there tons of "farmers" were trying to exploit a dupe bug on dungeon entrances by going in and out of a dungeon. It causes a new instances of the dungeons to be created and alot of work sending character information for hundreds of players back and forth between servers, each second. It was actually crashing servers and making whole dungeons/regions inaccessible which obviously caused EVERYONE some problems
and in the event they were successful with duping they could double their gold, and double their count on rare items (im not sure how often this actually worked, but it didnt stop them from trying)
several (an i even mean SEVERAL of the SAME ITEM, from the SAME PLAYER) expensive items were showing up in Auction house for a 1/3 or less of their usual cost.
it took my brother, an experienced player with no job/life at the time, a little under 2 months of heavy playing to get 60 and he played more than 8 hours a day
it took me almost 9 months but i have a life im supposed to worry about;)
I think warden was patched to detect past that wasnt it? like a few weeks after sony rootkit became common knowledge there was a wow patch that mentioned something about fixing that
I wonder if running WoW on linux with wine/cedega could somehow confuse their hack protection into thinking your cheating some how. I am not sure how their detection works... I guess ill find out next time i try to log in;)
www.soulfire.cc (which has festive x-mas decorations btw!) has to be at least 640 (or 620 i think it actually is, for scrollbar and window border) but it can stretch to fit the content as large as you want to go;)
www.delinquentminds.com also stretches now except none of the pages go very wide anymore (used to have forums which got pretty wide)
they are trying to pressure RIM into settling before the patent office invalidates all their patents
the so called competitors who are 'licensing' the technology are really being invested in by NTP. they arent paying for anything, NTP is buying part of them and giving it to them to try and scare RIM into settling.. its really weak
oh sweet debian has a working graphical installer now?
cool, i ran debian for years and still think it is the best open source OS around, but i gave Gentoo a try on my AMD64 and since it took sooo long to build everything on it i figure now that ive got it all installed ill stick with it;) Also gentoo seems to have more packages for more applications with better support for more architectures and a FANTASTIC support forum right on their main page.
But debian is clearly one of the best distros, just have a look at how many other distros out there have based off of it and charge you!:() weak..
A few months ago there was an article about mice that could regrow limbs/organs (except brain) without scar tissue, whole joints could be regrown, even nerves, this is potentially a cure for so many things.. blindness, paralysis, burn victums, to name a few
So now we have fearless regenerative immortal rats!!
oh fantastic, try uploading anything with formated code snipets (like tab indented C++ code, or perl scripts)...
youll notice it gets rid of it
the description field is useless for like 90% of the 'worlds data' why would they make such a broad claim if they are completely inept at handling it all
but theres no way to upload anything other than images.. what if you have a HUGE MANUAL in pdf or something, you dont wanna have to past 5 megs of text into that stupid description box
this just means they can find more than one input that comes up with the same output
it doesnt mean they can come up with an input to match a specified output
(which can usually be protected anyway)
so it really doesnt change much right? or am i missing something..
maybe he has that mutated gene that originated in england during the 1600s that made them immune to plague and also HIV (somehow makes the white blood cells resist the infection all together)
but if that were the case he probably woundnt have tested positive in the first place.. so i would have to guess there was a lab error;)
the more people moving to any Open OS should be helpful to any other open OS. more people, more developers, more applications, more open source that can usually build/run on many other platforms (sometimes with a little effort)
i really dont think the guy talking about standards gets it;) one of the main reasons people goto linux is for alternatives
i do think it is pretty cheesy how so many distributions lately just repackage debian and slap their name on it and start charging for it claiming it looks like windows cause they use KDE...
The US and other nations who have been BUILDING and using the internet for longer deserve to keep what they worked hard to establish, you cant wrestle away control of TLDN from a group that EARNED THE RIGHT to the RESPONCIBILITY of handling dns just because some developing nations that didnt help build the internet, and dont even have as many netizens as the rest of the world, suddenly want 'a fair share' , what the hell is a fair share? what is wrong with the way the TLDNS works now? they have been doing a phenominal job for decades. and are not controlled by the government. Other governments DO have control of 'their peice of the pie' with their own extentions.
I think this is a clear case of jealous smaller nations wanting to steal what we have worked hard to create.
whats next? you cant just steal something away from an organization who is being nice enough to SHARE it with you in the first place.
what if other countries decided our space program gave us an unfair advantage and demanded we hand over control of nasa and all our facilities/shuttles/programs that we spent our money funding.
why should we have to plan it out, plant the seeds, grow it from nothing, make it flourish, and then HAND OVER THE TREE? just cause we were nice enough to share the fruit? and now everyone wants more?

im with you buddy
C++ is still the main language i use, for its speed, power, and usability
i can confirm that it IS going to be chuck norris
this is a sad day for the horde who will surely be destroyed by chuck norris paladins
theres no way they could be the new alliance race, they are supposed to be allied with blood elves (the new horde race) but also ferverently hate orcs so i doubt theyd even be considered
also they are supposed to be able to stealth while moving. Alliance already has a shadowmelding race, and stealth while moving is a rogue skill. they wouldnt make a race with a class skill
