Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jun 16, 2003 5:18pm PDTYowzer... this could be called a uh.. long day.
- W Va. settles with MS - Amusing story about browsers and Apple - Japanese guys hate whales! - Europe and the right of reply law? Wow - Researcher finds excuse to hang out with high school cheerleaders - Hanging out in jail for 5 years before your trail is fun Thanks Fark - Hey check out internet porn!Lastly, yeah we're indeed running at full power again around here after piling on a few more frustrations of busted arp caches and whatnot when we tried to bring the web box back online. For the curious, Tapper ended up actually inserting by hand some bad block addresses or something and other wackyness. If he gets frisky maybe he'll share what the heck was wrong but it was pretty much way more complicated than I can hope to understand which is why I offer to buy him dinner a lot.

Few days ago somebody linked to the Daily Show's RM videos.. well I'd seen one of those on tv some time ago and was very interested in downloading the clip. Unfortunately, the damned thing was RTSP, so I couldn't save the file. Bing bong I knew ASFRecorder could assist me with ASX/ASF streams, but I needed something for .RAM/RTSP:// here. After a minute's googling, I found Streambox VCR:
http://dl2.afterdawn.com/StreamboxVcrSuite2.exe
Pretty good stuff, very configurable and acts pretty much as a versatile download manager. I suggest anybody who frequently watches realmedia streams download this and keep it handy for those times when you need it. If you're on dialup, it is also useful for pushing up your reported rate so that you can download the highest quality clip.
Those of you who hate RealOne/RealPlayer, do yourselves a favour.. download it, install it, then download the latest build of Media Player Classic:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303
Change your .RM associations to MPC, and voila, no need to use RealOne itself again. MPC will also take over Quicktime playback as well as a plethora of popular and obscure video and audio formats. You need Quicktime and RealOne installed to play the respective files, but MPC is streamlined and unkludgey.
Finally, if you're wondering about ASFRecorder, you can get it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/asfrecorder/
Now.. if someone knows of something that can beat those annoying Quicktime streaming URLs...

2. You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are, "I apologize" and "you are right."
4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
5. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
6. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her -- believe them.
7. Learn to pick your battles. Ask yourself, "Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"
8. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
9. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
10. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.
11. Work is good, but it's not that important. Money is nice, but you can't take it, or anything else, with you. Statistics show most people don't live to spend all they saved; Some die even before they retire. Anything we have isn't really ours; we just borrow it while we're here, even our kids.
12. Be really good to your family and/or friends. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.
13. If you are going to be able to look back on something and laugh about it, you may as well laugh about it now.
One of my agents (who is a complete moran) received one of the many african send me your checking and routing number spcams. He was VERY concerned by this.
So, he tells me that he forwarded the email to "the fbi and secret service," he called the local police and their cybercrime unit, and forwarded the email to everyone else warning them.
I cant wait till he gets a few hundred of these things.

Someone decided it would be a good idea to just unplug two sun blades we set up yesterday, so we had to go plug 'em back in this morning after a customer let us know they were down. I was telling my office mate about this as TAC is standing in the office (not saying anything and staring as usual).
TAC pipes up with "Well, it wasn't me!!".
Officemate: "Yeah, we know. You were out sick yesterday"
TAC: "Oh, I wasn't really sick" ...and he walks out of the office.
His days are numbered >:(

ok so I went to this last night. Some songs I thought were pretty good, some I thought were boring and I actually got really sleepy in the middle of their set. Apparently Southpaw has too small of a stage for them to fit all of their equipment on stage so they couldn't play most of their more well-known songs, which was a little disappointing. Every song they played was in the "play quiet for a little bit and build up to something loud and then get quiet again and then get loud again" vein which got super repetitive. Some of the newer songs sounded good though, and during the encore one of the guitar player broke a string and in frustration ripped 3 more off and improvised and continued to play with just two strings, which sounded pretty neat and was pretty cool to see.
all over though, disappointing. i felt like it was the "preview" for the bigger show at irviing plaza tonight. why the fuck would you even play at a venue thats too small for all your equipment?

The example in the book reads something like this
; Name servers
249.249.192.in-addr.arpa. IN NS terminator.movie.edu.
249.249.192.in-addr.arpa. IN NS wormhole.movie.edu.
The problem is, I dont get a whole class C. I get Ip addresses 67.xx.xxx.57 thru 61. So, what the fuck do I specify there?! I take it its not xxx.xx.67.in-addr.arpa. is it?
PS - I am starting to feel bad filling up ER with this DNS crap. If any of you know a decent resources for this shit, I would flock to it like goose shit on a tin roof.

I don't rememeber the name, it had alot of stats on-screen by default (top and bottom), and I think it was DX9 only. I always had problems with that (it ran like 0.5fps), and now I need to send it over to the RMA guys so that they can test my mobo/ram/graphic card with it. I lost it on a re-format.
Anyone?
