  1. Re:Hiding p2p activity? on Verdict Reached In RIAA Trial · · Score: 1

    As other folks have said, I2P or Freenet are both reasonable choices. Freenet is kinda icky right now what with it being currently implemented as a Friend of a Friend network, as opposed to the good 'ole Open-net they used to have.

    My personal favorite choice for Anon-P2P is gotta be the OFF System put together by the folks over at The Big Hack. I realize it sounds a little hokey, but once you get into the details it DOES make a lot of sense. If you have the time to help work on something, that's where I'd point ya.

    But if you just want something that's already up.... Freenet is my recommendation.

    Where can I find out more about unlocking my CDMA RAZR from US Cellular with Page Plus? It's useless to me (deactivated) and I'd like to start using it again. I didn't see anything on their website, but maybe I didn't look hard enough...

    I don't mean to sound like a douchbag, but that's a pretty snide response. I'm not an idiot, and am honestly very capable of understanding complex matters if explained. Please, humor me. What kind of control do you need over the GPRS/GSM? It's an honest question. I really do want to know. After all, I assume if you know so much about it, you must have asked a similar question at one point.

    No, it was more in mock-reference to the **AA of your choice, and their rather anti-piracy stance. No, my mother and father knew my computer ran pretty much 24/7. It irked them (Pa in particular), but not as much as other stuff I coulda been doing. :)

    He also seems to have the improper spelling for "there", with a "their" instead. As well as the wrong your ("you're" instead of "your"). And to top it off, he misspelled "lose" "loose"! What a childish mistake! My god, if I didn't know better, I'd say he was jesting us with comedic exaggeration! Naw, this is teh interwebs. Such a thing as massive, intentional, example-setting mistakes could NEVER happen around these parts, that's crazy talk.... :D

    Well, probably those two go together: being an amazing creator, and being an amazing ass with huge ego. Who knows.

    I disagree entirely that those two traits must go together. I'm living proof that you're wrong, in fact. I don't have a creative bone in my body.

    As much as I shudder at the term "micro$haft" (and I assure you, I do indeed), at least the above mentioned "diggtard" had the decency to log in before posting. Going AC for someone who claims to be a long time reader of /. is, well, sort of weak in my opinion. Mind you, I'm a bit of a "diggtard" myself, being much more active there, though I was reading /. LONG before Digg showed up in this world. At any rate, logging in is much more conducive to the intelligent conversation that you seem to miss so much (not that AC doesn't have it's place, it's just nice to know who you're talking to, especially if it's a long conversation).

  17. Re:Nearlyfreespeech.net on Alternative Registrars to GoDaddy? · · Score: 1

    I heartily agree with NearlyFreeSpeech.net. They're simply amazing. I've been using them for all my hosting, and for as much of my domain registration as I can (they don't do *.us yet). Customer service is GREAT (I once tossed a bunch of emails back and forth with this guy named Jeff who worked there, ALL DAY LONG, turned out to be a problem with the shmucks I got to register my *.us domain). Prices for registration are fair to middling, but you ASSUREDLY get quality for your cash.

    Like some others have said, I don't work for them, they don't have affiliate programs, I'm just a super happy customer.

    When asked for clarification on Entropy, notied physicist Stephen Hawking broke into rhyme...

    Harm me with harmony. Doomsday, drop a load on 'em.

    Entropy, how can I explain it? I'll take it frame by frame it, to have you all jumping, shouting saying it. Let's just say that it's a measure of disorder, in a system that is closed, like with a border. It's sorta, like a, well a measurement of randomness, proposed in 1850 by a German, but wait I digress. "What the fuck is entropy?", I here the people still exclaiming, it seems I gotta start the explaining.

    You ever drop an egg and on the floor you see it break? You go and get a mop so you can clean up your mistake. But did you ever stop to ponder why we know it's true, if you drop a broken egg you will not get an egg that's new.

    That's entropy or E-N-T-R-O to the P to the Y, the reason why the sun will one day all burn out and die. Order from disorder is a scientific rarity, allow me to explain it with a little bit more clarity. Did I say rarity? I meant impossibility, at least in a closed system there will always be more entropy. That's entropy and I hope that you're all down with it, if you are here's your membership.

    You down with entropy? Yeah, you know me! (x3) Who's down with entropy? Every last homey!

    Defining entropy as disorder's not complete, 'cause disorder as a definition doesn't cover heat. So my first definition I would now like to withdraw, and offer one that fits thermodynamics second law. First we need to understand that entropy is energy, energy that can't be used to state it more specifically. In a closed system entropy always goes up, that's the second law, now you know what's up.

    You can't win, you can't break even, you can't leave the game, 'cause entropy will take it all 'though it seems a shame. The second law, as we now know, is quite clear to state, that entropy must increase and not dissipate.

    Creationists always try to use the second law, to disprove evolution, but their theory has a flaw. The second law is quite precise about where it applies, only in a closed system must the entropy count rise. The earth's not a closed system' it's powered by the sun, so fuck the damn creationists, Doomsday get my gun! That, in a nutshell, is what entropy's about, you're now down with a discount.

    You down with entropy? Yeah, you know me! (x3) Who's down with entropy? Every last homey!

    Hit it! Doomsday, kick it in!
