Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jul 27, 2004 6:17pm PDTOk well we're pretty darn sure FileShack CHI is back online for good now and we've made the switch to Debian for those machines. Give it a shot, we're still running 1000k/s caps for the non-mercury folks for a few more days. These are for you:
- Fake emails still fooling a lot of people - Dating sites doing background checks - All aboard the frozen ark - Searching for simpler debuggingLastly, if you're a shoplifter you might find out if you're diabetic! Ok kinda...

Here's the deal: I work for Wise Solutions, who makes installation authoring tools. We are doing training classes this week on how to make installations using Windows Installer... and there is a guy from Valve here taking the classes. This would seem to indicate an imminent HL2 release given the fact that most installations are created at the end of a development cycle.
So, anybody got any good questions they would like asked?

Go to thier blog on there. Here is an interesting quote on just how HUGE that little swf got:
We were in the midst of heralding the arrival of the New Media Revolution when our server company called and told us how much it was going to cost to deliver all those cartoons... GULP! Let me put it this way, if any of you are considering getting into the business of charging $2.99 for a cartoon download, drop what you are doing and seek professional help immediately. I’m not kidding. We’re on track to do 30 terabytes of data transfer this month. For the laymen out there let me give you a simple formula: 30 terabytes of data transfer = $$$$$$$$$$$$.

John Carmacks comment:
The patent situation well and truly sucks.
We were prepared to use a two-pass algorithm that gave equivalent results at a speed hit, but we negotiated the deal with Creative so that we were able to use the zfail method without having to actually pay any cash. It was tempting to take a stand and say that our products were never going to use any advanced Creative/3dlabs products because of their position on patenting gaming software algorithms, but that would only have hurt the users.
John Carmack
If this is true I won't buy Creative products anymore. They have been really great on warranty matters (really! the send me 2 fans although warranty already expired. But that just sucks.
