I don't think it would constitute a DOS attack (unless someone was trying to DOS it deliberately using said program) it would just be overloading the servers. if it did constitute one Slashdot would have a criminal record the length of the Nile .
This does seem to be a bit of an abuse of the service. whilst it does not contravene the TinyURL terms of use in any real way
Terms of use: TinyURL was created as a free service to make posting long URLs easier. Using it for spamming or illegal purposes is forbidden and any such use will result in the TinyURL being disabled and you will be reported to all ISPs involved and to the proper governmental agencies. This service is provided without warranty of any kind.
, it just seems rather untoward .
Nifty little program all the same and a nice hack , Having it running on his NanoURL implementation locally , could allow for a cool little service . Though there are better ways to offer web based file systems in the real world .
He does state in the FAQ that its not intended to pollute TinURL in any way.. but this is what some people will use it for (and I doubt the restrictions will be hard to remove).
Perhaps it will give TinyURL a nudge to tighten up their security though .
"Welcome: to the Official Website for the 2005 "Rockets on Prisoner" Awards. These awards are given to the best Halo Machinima videos created by the Fans of Halo and Halo 2 on the Xbox and PC"
Machinima is the type of videos , Rockets on prisoner is the name of the awards , Halo is apparently the game
You haven't read many of my other posts then have you ? This is me on a humble vent . Seriously though...
You need to develop a thick skin sometimes,after all you will get the piss taken out of you for playing RPGs. It's a guilty little pleasure for many many people , still has a great deal of stigma attached to it . One of those things that when you walk into a news agents to buy your weekly RPG magazines , you hide it inside a copy of horny babes or big hooters .
I love role-playing and I am a total Nerd in many many ways (I am a UNIX geek , hacker and systems admin . I also program in C ) . though I am not socially awkward and rather extroverted .
I like to explore both reality and the worlds of our minds . Naturally I do like to fantasise about how the world could be,something more glamorous and filled with adventure In real life would possible be rather unpleasant(I don't fancy taking 2d12 damage from a battle axe) .
All role-players like to detach themselves from reality , Everyone does now and then. It's when you lose reality that the problems start .
Yeah , and I have played a fair few games with Musicians and people working at burger king . Engineers are also included in this , after all many programers are software engineers . Never played a game with a football player though (Probably some do though ).
We like to dream , and we like to make our dreams reality.After all programming is about turning thoughts in to something tangible.Role playing is about turning the dreams of adventure we all have in to some sort of reality . The only reason some people look down on it , is because they don't have the courage to do it for fear of looking silly.

Um I did say porn star you know , Quite different . Being homosexual only means you are attracted to someone of the same sex , nothing more. Being a porn star means you will do things like this for some Green .
Depends how many employes and how much of a bonus . Money can be funnelled through a few different channels rather easily , normally done to legally avoid a few taxes .
Darwine is a project on the OpenDarwin site,OpenDarwin was started by Apple and ISC to develop the kernel . to quote
Many OpenDarwin members are either Apple employees or committers to Apple's CVS repository, who have an active interest in merging technologies from OpenDarwin.org into Darwin and Mac OS X releases..
Pure speculation of course Some apple employs in their spare time working on the Darwine project , getting extra bonuses at Christmas and long holidays .
I expect a large influx of funding from Apple(perhaps already has occurred and they wanted it kept quiet) , Darwine has been underway for a while already http://darwine.opendarwin.org/ so they already have begun to tie it to the kernel .
I think it has to do with Wembley . A place where people launch a lot of balls (into Goals) , fitting that Microsoft launches its load of balls there .
Wait , Sony and Phillips are leading the BDA(Blu-ray disk association ) . one of the codecs used on BRD is H.264/AVC . which will most likely be the main format.There is the possibility to use VC-1(Microsoft's codec) on BRD but the way the wind is blowing it will most likely be H.264 that gets the most use . (Apple is in on the BDA as well )
Java is used on the menus , yes.. A language created by Sun Microsystems . So which part of the format does Mr Gates own .
Bill gates has by many been called a control freak . Sure HD-DVD may use some of his technology but he does not have total control over it . He more strongly Rubbish's BRD as it has nothing to do with his Tech IIRC . HD-DVD is his second choice , as at least he has some slice of the cake . WMA DRM'd download media means he has a monopoly on it .
HDD downloaded Media is the future hopefully , but if he gets the studios to sign up to his ideas then it is an MS-Future.
Agreeing with Bill Gates is an odd experience . I just can't help shake the "What's his angle " .
Then Thinking a little more , I imagine It will be HDD based WMA files with MS DRM that is consumer friendly .
Cutting out Sony , Philips etc. with their nasty DRM and allowing free reign for his slightly less nasty DRM
Apple will most likely be using Pentium M's, as they are currently planning on phasing in the Intel chips from the ground up, whilst leaving the Power Macs to run on the G5's for the moment IIRC. So there is a good chance they already know that Intel has something far better in store for them to use in 2007/2008
This new xeon Chip is sucking down more juice than the three macs I have In my house , It is 100W less than my server and PC
Slow acting poison works well if there is a nest of them , if it kills them too quickly the others will learn . So you need to make sure all of them have digested some of it and that it kills them off before a breeding cycle .
Other than that , to put it out of its misery you need to break its neck IIRC Same goes for most mortally wounded animals (naturally there are other methods , but this is perhaps the quickest and least painful if you don't have a toxin and syringe handy ) .
Cats , Snakes and other medium small predators are also rather effective at wiping them out
I have an even better Idea . Let's send 6 lesbians porn stars and a A film crew . Kills two birds with one stone , no space sex conflicts and you could fund the next Moon landing with "Star whores : A new elope "
Well , If you call someone a total tool . I think you can expect them to be slightly hostile . Considering your summation of Tool , I would say it is a good reaction ( I use Tool for someone who has sold out and works for the Man , so to speak) Whilst I myself do not use a PDA (I have an ancient Palm laying in a box) , they can be very useful to a lot of people . Granted I see no purpose in the ones with Fully garnished Office suites and Windows on them (Well not that I see much use for Windows on anything outside my car and house.. Boom Boom Boom) . The core functionality can be indispensable if you have come to rely on it . If you are working on the road a lot , whipping your Laptop out to check a phone number may not be an option . Carrying around a massive file-o-fax is far more annoying also .
