Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 05, 2003 5:00pm PSTThat Animatrix episode was pretty nifty, looking forward to the next one and it certainly is effective at making me want to purchase the DVD. Plus boobies! Yay boobies! Oh hey check some of this stuff out:
- Everyone wins at lotto! - Invisibility cloak freaking people out - Websites making money? Yeah right! - A very very long song - That slammer virus spread in 10 minutes - NASA going for nukes - Strangely, SprintPCS may actually make money soon - So uh, is there a theory of the web? Well yes... boobies!Lastly, a movie made entirely in flash? Indeed... Thanks Adrian.

I'm on Kazaa downloading some Information Society MP3s, and I get a good transfer rate from this one user, so naturally, in the name of data sharing, I right click on his name and go to 'find more from user'.... it pulls up his list, etc...
s/He has TONS of mp3s, but more noticeably, the bible read by someone, every single book and chapter (that I can tell)...
so I sort by 'media type', to collect all the mp3s at once, and I happen upon the video section and notice a large collection of golden showers porno.
kind of threw me off because of the whole bible thing.

the new vehicles are awesome and my new favorite is the Bf110. I love the tanks too. The maps require alot of people though as the spawn points seem to be really spread out but some of the maps seem pretty small.
Definately worth the 20 dollars though.

im all for it though. ive been waiting for a speed boost like this for ages. i dont like wd, but if they have a 10k rpm, 8mb cache, 120+ gb serial ata hd out when i do my upgrading, im buying it.
that 5 year warranty really makes it a great deal. my biggest gripe with wd is their hds keep dying on me a few months out of warranty, like they fucking timed it or something, while my maxtor hds keep going years after their warranties.

Overview: we are developing an Intranet for a company. Their main way of navigating the Intranet is through a tree menu, much like you see when you right-click on your "Start!" button and choose "Windows Explorer".
The issue we are having is using this dynamic tree menu -- which reads the names of folders and files from a networked harddrive -- and having it understand the permissions that are already set on the network. So if I am navigating the tree menu I should not see folders on the network that I don't have permissions to see.
That's the basic problem we have encountered. If you know of anyone who can help us with this problem like NOW <g> please get in contact with me via e-mail matthew@fuze-media.com or wrath@nbnet.nb.ca
Thanks!

for those that have installed kazaa-lite, be aware that it adds a huge list of known (and some unknown) advertisement servers to your hosts file and reroutes them to localhost. this is to prevent the kazaa ads from showing; but i believe that they went above and beyond what was required just to block kazaa ads.
if you try looking at some of the images on gamespot (e.g. http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters/products/screens/0,11105,562564,00.html?page=56 ), they'll be 404'd. it's because kazaa-lite's creators have image.com.com listed as an ad server; it may be an ad server for all i know, but it also serves gamespot images.
search your windows directory for 'hosts' (no quotes, no extension) and open the file in notepad. look at them all! mine is 1800 lines long, in fact. now, i have a hard time believing that kazaa uses every single one of those as an ad provider, but whatever, i'll just leave them until they bug me. but image.com.com is in there somewhere; you can comment it out by preceding it with a semicolon, or just delete the line, and suddenly gamespot pics will work. voila!
in the future, if websites seem to have deadspots for images and suck, right-click on them and choose properties. check the server name and see if it's in your hosts file. hope this helped!
