Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 28, 2003 5:00pm PSTWell glad to see people are taking advantage of the FileShack Friends system we setup. It sure was a long time in the making... it's been a couple of months since we added any perks for Mercury stuff, so I'm aiming to change that again next month. I would like to suggest that you guys have a look at these stories that have all changed the world that we live in:
- Microsoft and their WiFi woes - Massive online sky survey - Neanderthals and their dexterity - Armored cars are fabLastly, a scientific look at The Core which as we all know is firmly grounded in scientific fact.

Neighbor girl came by this afternoon to inform me they were having a part and to let them know if they were being too loud. Also told me to feel free to stop by. Everyone there will be young compared to me. This is the second time they've invited me over and I haven't gone. They lived next door for like eight months and I don't even know my neighbors names.
Would you:
1)Go be the grumpy old guy next door and go bitch about noise
2)Pry yourself away from the PC and go socialize
3)None of the above

Sorry, some of the pictures are blurry. Sorry, slow upload from my computer.
We met (^-SeaWolf-^, nyranger66, and myself) about 6:15, and went to register for ICON. That took a while. We walked around ICON (covers a lot of Stony Brook University campus) for a while. We went to the Computer Gamming Room but they were still setting up. Then we went to the consle gamming room. The has 2 PS2s, 2 LOL it's HUGEs, and a Game cube, and also some old consoles such as SNES NES, Atari 5200, and an Intellivision. One of the PS2s was set up for DDR!

The we decided to see the movie Equilibrum, which they were showing. Very cool movie.
After that, we went back to the Computer Gamming room, but the were still setting up! They said that the weren't ready and that they would be open tomorrow. Apperently they were trying to ghost about 40 computers (P3s) off of a 20GB image that was on one of these computers, over a slow network.

So then we walked arround a little more and decided that there wasn't anything else good at ICON tonight. We decided to get something to eat at Friendlys.

Another picture was drawn, but I'm not going to link it directly, (it's the next image), but it got this reaction:

That all we have so far, but this is a multi-day shackmeet. Tomorrow is when the Carmack will be there, and I'll be able to get better pictures in the daytime.

I've just got my new computer here, and am having some trouble getting the 98se machine and the xp machine to see each other on the network. I understand the 98 will not see the ntfs file system, but shouldnt i from this machine have access to the 98 machine?
They are on the same workgroup and all, just can't see each other :( no firewall, just a hub both are connected to.

In one, I had to decide where to plant my crops. First year I made no money and had to borrow cash from my brother. After that I just went all out. Well, eventually they asked if I wanted to do ecotourism. So then I had to play this gay ass game:

I remember back in 1997 I got most of my mp3s from FTPs, as they were abundant sources of mp3s back in the day. I was on a 28.8 modem at the time, and when I came across a ratio FTP, I would create an empty bitmap file, rename it to some random mp3, and upload it. Thanks to data compression (empty bitmaps compress like fuckall) I would upload to the ratio sites at 16KB/sec with my 28k modem. I thought I was the smartest man alive! I dont think broadband of any kind to this day actually uses data compression, which sucks. Half of people on DSL/Cable cant even attain my 1997 28k modem's 16K/sec upload.

do you share files on kazaa/whatever you use?
me: no. why?
well, id have no problem sharing my mp3s, but fuck sakes, kazaa INSISTS.. absolutely INSISTS.. on sharing whatever directory i have my downloads go to. i have all my apps put shit in D:\Download, because i dont want shit downloading to a thousand different places on my hd so i can forget about them and find 20 gb of crap 6 months later.
so, being that everything i dl goes to one central location, i REALLY DO NOT want shit people may send me, which is automatically accepted, being shared with all the freaks on kazaa.....
if they ever make it NOT FUCKING SHARE DIRECTORIES I DONT WANT TO SHARE i may turn sharing on, but right now the only way around this is to disable all sharing.......
