I have @Home... and when I was sending some mail to a friend through their server about how bad their service had been lately, it kept bouncing the message... It may have been a coincidence, because i have not tested this further, but i found it interesting at the time.
far be it from me to criticize someone else's art, but I too was expecting more a mural type thing--something more like those nifty pictures that when you view it from far away, its a cow or something, and when you go up close, its made up of lots and lots of little pictures of cows...
In a somewhat related subpost--i do quite a bit of artwork on my windowsCE device... using the equivelant of MSpaint... Its not nearly as good as say--photoshop--mostly because i am limited to 4 colors, but its still pretty cool. Maybe i should convert some of the bitmaps to jpg and put them on the web--THEN I CAN GET A SLASHDOT STORY TOO!?!?!:P
I use Iomega zipCD 4x, any media i can get my hands on--good, bad, inbetween--never burnt a coaster that wasn't the fault of my old dusty ass dorm room... sometimes the spools would get dust in them, and when i was in a hurry i would forget to check the disk before i put it in to burn--there would be these litte 'clean' (not burned) spots on the disc afterwards where the dust was... needless to say, the disk wasn't readable.
I guess... I don't really know--i only read that one article about a honeypot--and none of my (work related) systems are exposed to this sort of stuff, so I am not too sure what 'standard' practice is...
yeah, the one example of a honey pot i saw--once they cracked it, they had a doctored irc client that connected to a certain channel of their irc server, so they could always find it--granted that was solaris, but i am sure something similar can be done for pretty much any OS given enough time and effort.
plus all you really proved is that The Man had a good sense of humor.:) Don't get me started on a pro ford argument--it just wouldn't do to drive anything else.
yeah... I really miss mine--now all it does is flash black and white on the screen... sometimes if i clean the hell out of it, it will actually play a game, but i think its processor has seen better days, because the screen gets all corrupted--its kind of amusing sometimes.
To a certain extent, I believe that you are correct. IMHO extreme opinions on either side of any issue are not a good thing, because the holder's of such viewpoints are often blind to the possiblity of the other side of the issue actually having some valid points.
I personally am in favor of open source, but I do not think it would be a good thing if ALL companies/developers went over to open source. For example: I am all for an open source 3d game engine, open source communication proticols/programs (such as AOL Instant Messenger) and other such things, but personally I could care less if EXCEL or similar programs were open sourced. In some ways i think that it would be conterproductive to do so, because if something like a code fork happens in excel it would make it a lot harder to be able to share spreadsheets and KNOW that the other user is going to be able to open your file EXACTLY as you created it.
I did web design over the summer, and this problem was a major one for me as i fought the ever present Netscape IE compatability issues with DHTML, javascript, and the like. Up until i started doing major web development, I was a netscape user, but after seeing the way netscape goes about interpreting CSS and other DHTML goodies, i am in favor of IE being the standard--i just wish they would port it to linux--go figure.
Back to my original point, I don't think that open source is good for everything, but at the same time, I think there is plenty of software out there that would seriously benefit from an opensourcing... Its fun to be middle of the road, no?
I am personally pretty interested in the concept of an open source console game... What would make it really interesting to me would be if the thing had a network card in it, so you could have say 2 people at my house on a split screen playing with other people in the country... thats what makes computer games so interesting for me is the ablility to play multiplayer with folks around the globe... it makes it that much more interesting...
hehe... yeah it does now that i think about it... thats a bad sign if i am forgetting the old star wars... ESB was the first one that i saw in the theatre. MMMMM Star Wars...
If all this is true, then why is it still considered so dorky to be playing video games. I was thinking of starting a club here at school for counterstrike, but I am not sure that my reputation could handle being in such a club... I wish playing video games was equivelant to playing football... and being in a clan equivelant to playing for a semi-pro team... Oh well... Probably not happen in my lifetime.
They will eventually kill themselves and the rest of us will look at what they did with their lives, decide we don't want to share their fate, and we'll throw away the fucking crack pipes and heroin needles
But what happens when they take 'us' with them by committing crimes to finance their habits, and hurting the innocent 'us' along the way?
Some sig group in ACM at my school did a similar thing to this about 4 years ago when i was touring the campus to see if i wanted to go here. It was very cool--they chose to display an apple that gets a bite taken out of it. I was stunned by how 3d it looked. They system was a bit more complex and worked differently than this one, but the general principal was the same.
I had heard stories like this when i was thinking about picking a major--which is why I am a compE and not CS... Hopefully hardware won't have the same problem, but its looking more and more like hardware is joining the same lame boat as software.
I get those a lot... Plus sometimes when i have been playing too much, I see screenshots when i close my eyes... Thank god i am addicted to counterstrike now... although those dreams are starting to get scary as well.
