blocking icmp is no sweat but the host unknown is the trouble. i have the 12.-> but i cannot get my pings to resolve to that #(12.->). i just get "host unknown" unless i use www before the domain. netscan will not turn up the ip ethier. i'm not sure what he did there to get the host unknown sans www. all pings(forward) will usually resolve to the ip before you get any response timed out or otherwise but this one will not. as for the reverse that does not apply here. any ideas? try it if you have the chance.

does anyone know how to block viewable domain resoultion(hide the ip addy)? this cannot be done thru the domain port as then noone can get to the site if you block inbound tcp/udp dns connections. it's driving me fucking crazy. example of active site with hostunknown ping: mid-atlanticpkg.com thanks.

I had my first play around with OSX yesterday, on a fast mac with the top of the range *unreal* cinema display; uh oh; suddenly, apple totaly rules!!!!!! Now if they release OSX for intel, then.....ugh, i dont know what, but I'll run it instead of linux or windoze for sure, because i will finally be able to get *all* my crucial appz in a UNIX environment! It was pretty amazing to type "perl -v" in a terminal on an out of the box mac....what can I say? its just the coolest move EVER by apple. i can develop my perl scripts, practice my regexps *and* use the most lush and idiot proof software "just because I can". Amazing; its easy enough for the ultimate LaMer, but as deep as UNIX...what an achievement, a single box that is literally for EVERYBODY simultaneously. Forget all of this bullshit about "Linux being ready / not being ready for the desktop" OSX is IT, NOW, no question, no doubt. It also comes with Apache and everything else thats totally cool. what we need now is for OSX to be ported to intel, so that developers flock to it, then there will be no looking back, except to laugh!!!

Smart Dust; cameras on the backs of ants/flys/bees how weird is it going to get??? Has anyone seen the trailer for AI? I amost threw up. One conclusion after a coupla days of thought; The Matrix is what AI should have been, only directed by Kubrick. No, we havent seen it yet, but go and see the trailer, and have a bucket ready for the inevitable PUKE that you will spew..

Discreet; in other words, clearly definable, self contained, separate. Main Entry: dis�creet Pronunciation: di-'skrEt Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French discret, from Medieval Latin discretus, from Latin, past participle of discernere to separate, distinguish between -- more at DISCERN Date: 14th century I could have used a more clear word/phrase...oh well, you posted.

???? i hear you.... but 'discreet' seems a little bit of a "privileged" stance to take if you get my meaning.

There is no "struggle" there are only discreet problems that need to be solved. -hmmmmm. 'discreet'????????? i'm not so sure the word discreet applies. but that's symantics or is it?

happy 75th Miles.

Protest!!!! and stick it to the electric companies, right in their wallet. a mass blackout could have financial impact on those bastards. and show us how dependant we are on that little buzzing wire... ROLL YOUR OWN BLACK OUT THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER JUNE 21, 2001 THURS EVE, 7-10pm worldwide, all time zones --------------------------------------------------- In protest of George W. Bush's energy policies and lack of emphasis on efficiency, conservation and alternative fuels, there will be a voluntary rolling blackout on the first day of summer, June 21 at 7pm - 10pm in any time zone (this will roll it across the planet). It's a simple protest and a symbolic act. Turn out your lights from 7pm-10pm on June 21. Unplug whatever you can unplug in your house. Light a candle to the sungod, kiss and tell, make love, tell ghost stories, do something instead of watching television, have fun in the dark. Forward this email as widely as possible, to your government representatives and environmental contacts. Let them know we want global education, participation and funding in conservation, efficiency and alternative fuel efforts -- and an end to over exploitation and misuse of the earth's resources. ***************** MOMENTUM: for a cooler planet. Pick it up. MOMENTUM magazine CELEBRATE SUMMER SOLSTICE, THE LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR!

Labour supports email spy policy

by Wendy Brewer Friday, 18 May 2001 The government is backing EU plans to extend the state's power to snoop at private emails. Under the proposals, all email communications will have to be retained by ISPs for a seven-year period. "Only people who have something to hide should be worried," said a spokesperson at the Department of Trade and Industry. "The government will only have cause to browse emails if they have their suspicions about a user. They simply don't have the time or money to check every email sent." The proposals were revealed in a leaked EU report earlier this week. But Human Rights groups are enraged by the proposals claiming they breach a fundamental right to privacy. Having already campaigned against RIPA (the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act), which gives government the right to demand encryption codes, protestors are now infuriated these powers may be extended. "This was meant to strike a balance," said a press officer for the EC. "Governments need maximum powers to catch cyber criminals, but there will always be people who are unhappy." The European Union's Justice and Home Affairs Committee will consider the proposals on 28 May.

stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the visual route link!!!! from my experience so far netscan picks up the most open ports. finger too(but we know that isn't so realistic anymore). ipx can suck my dick....btw. i've been spending my entire sat. dumping that molasses.

Visual Route is a blast... VisualRoute is a visual, fast, and integrated ping, whois, and traceroute program that automatically analyzes Internet connectivity problems, displaying the results on a World map.

superG=freddy mercury? what are you tellin' me, supaG?

The Gnutella protocol does not scale; it is being changed so that it will scale. This involves making more powerful clients on fat pipes into supernodes that can handle indexing, while less powerful nodes are simply leech / storage nodes. "Legitimate" sources will never be as cool / popular as Gnutella, becaus they always have to have one eye over thier shoulders due to ambulance chasers trying to shut them down/make a buck. Napster is being abandoned because of this lawyer/RIAA pressure; check out the numbers: Napster is loosing users because so much is being filtered. Once the problems of the Gnutella scaling, structure and anonymity are solved, it will grow expontionally; nothing can compete with free access to EVERYTHING; no "legal" site can compete; its as simple as that. What will be interesting to see is what happens to those sites that provide www interfaces to Gnutella, and wether or not the RIAA BiaTcEs will try to shut them down. Journalists (who are mostly computer illiterates) do not have the necessary capacity to imagine what it would be like to have free access to everything in a way that is totally unstopabble and unrestricted. This is why they always say that it wont work, or that there is some fix over the horizon that will solve it all. They have no direct experience with Warez or Cracking, and so dont understand that there is NOTHING anyone can do to stop the free flow of files on a network. These dumbasses cant even find out this stuff from Google. Filesharing is here to stay; no matter how hard they try, the RIAA and thier pig bedfellows will always fail. HMG today said that it will back email snooping legislation being out forward by the EEC. These nimrods dont even understand that the next version of Sendmail (the program that is responsible for 99.99% of all emailsent in the world) will have unbreakable transparently inplimented end to end encryption build in by default,so that no ones email, in transit and when it sits on an ISPs server will be readable by the ISP, or anyone else. We are going to have our freedom; privacy online will be universal, the free exchange of files will be commonplace. What will have to change is how artists and labels are compensated. This will probably mean users taking personal responsibility for compensating the artists and labels that they enjoy by buying tshirts and maybe physical sound carriers & other stuff. This is the new reality, and its good. Its a shock, it takes getting used to, but once you sit and THINK about it, it makes sense, and takes your breath away with its simplicity. And as for this "virus" bullshit, well this just proves that the article was written by a total LamEr; these are the same l00sers that use outlook express and click on "nudehornyhousewife.jpg" the instant that it arrives in their inbox. These virus red herrings are boring at best, and will not do anything but discredit the lamers that write this sort of FUD/trash talk.

We are getting LOTS of submissions for blinks; keep them coming!!!!
