I was merely pointing out example. If you go to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/ and grab the latest-release, it's not counted. You can't get the file off the www.mozilla.org http, either. Looks like I'll have to go further into this.
When you click the "Download Firefox" link, you are sent here:
Please note download (not www) is taking this, and a script is activated to pick a mirror. This script, Bouncer, picks a server and sends you there, and counts a download. That's how (i believe) it is counted. I have word from Asa that downloads from the FTP (and ftp over http) which weren't initiated through the webpage/link, are not counted. However you don't have to believe me on that, as the original question I asked was in regards to nightlies, so it's still possible I'm wrong.
If you go to download.mozilla.org and notice it redirects to www.mozilla.org, and feel like you should point that out to pretend you have found the secret (that download. is merely an alias for www.), I have something for you, too.
http://www.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-1.0.3&os =w in&lang=en-US fails. It does not download the product. If download. were an alias for www., shouldn't it work?
Conclusion: The grand-something-parent's script would not work as written, or nearly as written.:)
I know it's feeding a troll, but here's some information:
The calculations are from bouncer. That means clicks from the webpage, or grabs of that URI. Getting files off the FTP is not counted at all towards the goal. Thenceforth, all your script would do is waste bandwidth.
Yes, it's iChat. I don't have the AIM screens handy, they are saved at home. However, trust me, they have exactly-like-that chat now available, which I had seen in Kopete (which copied it from iChat).
I've seen screens before it came out of alpha, and it's also directly ripping off iChat's messaging window. You don't know what I'm talking about? Thank goodness for google images and bloggers with their screenshots.
Wouldn't it not be the same size, though? "Wow, this Britney Spears MP3 is 5 times the size yet it has the same hash!"
Sure, you can find a collision, but finding a collision which has a size close enough to the more popular real file is a lot more difficult, I'd think.
But then these same people who are trying to enforce some rules (such as this) on blogs turn around, and are for forcing you to publish your own address, and aren't you also a Private Citizen? It's already happened for.us domains.
I noticed my moms machine sending out spam (I glance at the router traffic logs from time to time) for Klez. I actually called my ISP and asked them to block us from the mailserver (so i could go online and get fixes, while moms machine couldnt send out the trojan while I fixed it up), and they were confused! Acted like I was crazy or something. I wasn't, I just couldn't block outgoing port 25 on my linksys.
Moral of the story? Cableone techs are easily confused.
I work for a research institution. We have an Internet 2 connection. I'm the security guy, and (as if that ain't enough work) I sysadmin the mail exchangers, including maintaining anti-spam and anti-virus there. If you send email to the abuse or postmaster addresses at our site, I get it. If you send email to our domain contact about a security or abuse matter, he forwards it to me, and I answer it.
We get complaints every once in a while from the MPAA or their lackeys, claiming that some host on our network is sharing copies of movies -- The Matrix, Harry Potter, Star Wars: Revenge of George Lucas's Crack Pipe... you name it.
Here's the funny thing: they're all wrong.

There was a really good comment in there about how some guy who was an admin on I2 kept getting bogus threat letters from the **AA's, to IPs that had never even existed. A mod up (next time I get points) to the person who finds it!
Sir, I would be hard pressed to believe your statement. I hard-refreshed the site and it maintained 1997-2003. I then went to a web proxy (firefoxproxy.com) and loaded the site, in case my version was cached. Indeed I tell you, it still stated 1997-2003!
This, after all, is the same student who was "arrested after sneaking across a lawn . . . with a can of spray paint, heading toward the notoriously large Bush/Cheney sign in the yard of Summit County Republican Chairman Alex Arshinkoff" and then "convicted of misdemeanor trespassing and criminal mischief," according to a report from the Beacon Journal.
He seems to have made "stirring up trouble" his goal. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he uses a Mac or something else and couldn't have even used the copy of office anyway.
Just so you know. I've used it on SP2 with no problems, other than it won't run Knoppix 3.6 (i think?) right (there's no titlebars, like the WM is having some serious problems).
Ah, thanks, but I think it's confusing. I thought it would be an easy way to "not karma whore" while "keeping track of replies", such as when you post article text as AC because you know it'll get modded up. But that's for the Karma Redesign.

You don't have to, the EFF has already done it for you. Just ... needs more users.

Domains are ~5 dollars.
Register variations. It's cheap and it's worth it. At least, that's what they taught us to do in the Cisco website design class I took.
On a sidenote, did anyone else notice a new "No Karma Bonus" checkbox next to Post Anonymously?
I would think it'd be a lot easier to have BosleyMedicalSucks.com and get away with it, than BosleyMedical.com
Time to go buy aol.ws
