  1. Atari 2600 Cart on Digital Storage To Survive a 25-Year Dirt Nap? · · Score: 1

    Put it on an Atari 2600 Cart. I guarantee we can read those in 25 years, I can still read the one's I have now. If you make a rom a) I want a copy and b) it will last 1000 years.

    Oh, the pictures might have to be kinda small tho, max 64k per cart.

  7. Re:Slow Down Traffic for 20 Minutes on Comcast Has 30 Days To 'Fess Up About P2P Throttling · · Score: 1

    sounds more like spyware see if there's any traffic after your upload finishes, it likes to watch for traffic and then "jump on the bandwagon".

  8. Bittorrent or online backup? They seem to care on Comcast Has 30 Days To 'Fess Up About P2P Throttling · · Score: 1

    Comcast turned off my internet due to violation of AUP. Bastards didn't even call or email me and my website went down for three days while I worked it out. Called up their enforcement wing several time and each time was greeted by an english speaking, male, heavy set, mafioso type, you can just picture them sitting there with a the receiver engulfed in one big paw. Of course normal calls to comcast go to some offshore agency with bizarre accents and indeterminate sex. But I digress. So I wasn't using that much bandwith for p2p, maybe 200kB/sec, the rest was dedicated to an online backup service. I don't have any way to limit bandwidth on the online backup service, since it runs on windows and doesn't have a lever for it. So I turned it off for a while, but then had a bunch of new content and programs so had to turn it back on again. So it's happily been pumping almost 1 megabyte/sec over the line for the past 4 months. No calls from comcast, no AUP violations, not a twitter. So one has to wonder who's financing the mafioso AUP wing of comcast, I mean follow the money and I'm sure a good percentage is coming from MPAA or RIAA. BTW, it's not like I was downloading anything legal, strictly expensive pirated software (Photoshop CS Master suite, Autodesk with all the goodies, dozens of first run movies mostly telecined. Good stuff. )

    > but uncaring or incompetent admins who won't or
    > can't install rsync

    You can install rsync in your home dir as well. It doesn't need root permissions.

    > and don't get a unix shell, but only a control panel

    wget -m to an actual computer springs to mind. Cygwin might also appeal to windose users.

    If you don't get rsync and have dynamic data that you can't wget, and your control panel doesn't offer a backup button, well, time for a new provider.

    Registry Bloat? System folder Bloat? What the hell kinda junk are you installing on that poor box. You are the problem: Users installing crappy software that they don't need from companies they have never heard of that they don't like and uninstall, which leaves tons of proprietary drivers and unnecessary hooks lying all over your OS.
    Pokerstars, a telnet window, cygwin and firefox, and all the requisite crap for dealing with microsoft lock-in (word, excel), and photoshop. I've had this installed on a win2k box for over 5 years and only rebooted like twice.

  25. Re:Java or Javascript? on Kaspersky To Demo Attack Code For Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    That's a DOS or DDOS. You can crash your moms laptop by throwing it out the window too. A security hole is something which allows you to do something which you ordinarily couldn't, like view or modify someone else's account. You can consider a DOS a security hole, but I can hammer your website to death with 10,000 wget -m or a single slashdot article, so is that also a security hole?
