After assigning the bittorrent program to be used for.torrent files, now all I do is click torrent links, I choose what dir, and it downloads the files. Isn't that what you wanted to accomplish?
I recommend ClarkConnect for a firewall for those who can't figure out iptables. It's got a nice default config and a web gui to tweak it. Plus it has other nifty stuff setup; like snort for intrusion detection and gives some nice stats with mrtg.
xterm with curses version was old way I did it, but newer tk gui app is nicer(although I did tweak the code a bit to make it less annoying) The curses way had no confirmation, which is why I cd to my download dir first.
note that this method doesn't always work since some folks don't use the correct mime type for their torrent files.
I only carry wallet and 3 keys(home/car/work) which I stash somewhere other than my person when I arrive at most places. Plus I don't wear a watch or any other adornment; and living in Miami, only a jacket a few days a year. So I often get away with just carrying around the obligatory 5 pieces of clothing, 8^)
It's a joke. You can tell because he over-emphasizes that the site is small by saying it in 3 different ways.
I find that those types of jokes where you simply say something not true in a believable way are quite often difficult to get. I think because we coders tend to take things too literally,:)
"Note, that some people are anti-conformist by nature and dress abnormal on purpose (goth, etc )."
I'd give those folks as an example of conformism. Do you think they all independently decided that black lipstick, heavy metal and visiting graveyards is "cool"(sorry for the over generalization)? No, they learn it from others and mimic that behaviour, so they are simply conforming with goths instead of conforming with some other popular group.
So they are still following that conformism instinct which some introverted geeks near the autistic end of the psychological continuum don't seem to have.
I always thought there was a reason that the pronoun indicating the speaker, I, is capitalized in English but not any other language I learned. In the individualism portion, he ranks the USA, Australia, and the UK as first, second, and third.
Learning to deal with the bullies and morons is part of your education in dealing with society at large. The bullies simply use lawsuits or gossip instead of fists when they are older, 8^) The social education aspect of school(forced interaction with peers) is quite important.
O.K. I'll take a different approach. Considering your ability to accurately judge the competence levels of everyone you've ever worked with(giving you the benefit of doubt), you are likely in the top 2% yourself. Could it be possible you are in the top 2% of game programmers as well? Is it possible that there are hordes of other game programmers out there writing yet another graphics loader for pre-rendered graphics for yet another "adventure" game or simply re-implementing the tried and true algorithms? I'll admit that what you do may be hard for a lot of programmers(well, not the criticizing games or inter-departmental squabbling bits,:). But is what you do really representitive of what all game programmers do?
"bugging them to do there work in the schedule that the programmer said it would be done". [Terrible grammer, by the way.]
We should have a name for the phenomenon of making a spelling or grammatical mistake while in the act of whining about someone else's grammar or spelling,;) Or we could just call someone that does it a "pro-grammer", 8^)
As for the whole 'we do matrix arithmetic and other "hard" stuff therefore game programming is harder than regular programming'; I suspect that is a bunch of hogwash. It's just a matter of specialization in a particular field, or even of inclination considering that some of us lowly non-game programmers actually studied or majored in math, applied math, and physics in school. I'd probably be more lost trying to be a programmer in the financial or drug research industries since I don't happen to already have most of that specialized knowledge already.
Plus, even if lots of folks are doing simple sql joins, there are also some folks doing the phd level work in query optimization engines. The same probably holds in the gaming industry where a bunch of folks are coding yet another level editor or copying graphics algorithms from elsewhere and just a few guys are working on new dynamic path-finding algorithms based on player behaviour.
It is similar to dd, but it does not exit on I/O errors. So it
is perfect for pulling as much data as possible from a bad drive.
It also has a nifty optimization wherein it uses 16kB blocks to copy
until it gets an error, then it goes down to 512 byte blocks so it can
get as close to the corrupted sectors as possible.
I just used this to recover all but 500kB of data from a 120GB drive
that went bad. The method was simple, albeit long:
Buy new 250GB drive(WD 7200rpm 8MB cache for $160 from Best Buy(stupid $90 rebate)
fdisk, mkfs, mount new drive on/mnt/new
dd_rescue -A/dev/hdc1/mnt/new/home.ext3 (-A so it fills in any errors with zeroes)
I think you misunderstood me. I did not claim that roaches were humans.
I gave roaches as an example of a living creature with brain activity
that we have no qualms about killing as a means of explaining my theory
that we really decide whether something should live or die based on its similarity to us rather than on whether it is alive(which brain activity is usually a measure of)
I did not claim that the metric of brain activity is a bad idea. Based on my theory you just have to convince people that prior to brain activity embryos/fetuses are quite dissimilar to us.
Roaches have brain activity, and yet most of us have no qualms about killing them. We like to think we are being rational about the issue of life, but we are really just following our instincts for the most part. It seems to mostly boil down to similarity. If something is similar to us then we admire it(dog), if it is disimilar we dislike it(roach). Whether it is 'alive' does not enter the picture. Some people have in their heads a simplistic picture of embryos at this stage as miniature humans and others see them as a clump of 100 undifferentiated cells. So the real debate is 'how similar to us are they?' because similarity is what we base our 'decisions' of mortality against.

I think I got that from the nanog list a few years ago.
Is to simply use some iptables rules to only allow ssh connections from where you expect them from. For example, if you have live servers colocated somewhere then only allow connections from the ip block of your office.
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s \! ip.of.off.ice --dport 22 -j DROP
That's not that impressive considering most people can type without looking and most people are capable of listening. I was more impressed with the blind guy that beat me at a game of chess once. And german shepherd seeing eye dogs are cool,;)

Orkut seems to continue the trend of taking well established
text based internet services and putting them on the web.
usenet -> groups.google (by way of dejanews)
archie -> images.google
invite only rooms on irc -> orkut
I wonder if orkut is going to become the word for 'dating service' as google has
become the word for 'search engine'.
