Linux will play many games w/o any sort of emulator. Just look on the back for a tux and/or OS: Linux. http://www.tuxgames.com/

I tried installing gentoo once but something went wrong...I tried logging in and there wasn't even a root acount! That also happened on slackware but when I tried installing it again, everythign worked fine. I have ubuntu right now but I'm probably installing FC4 June 6. I'll leave ubuntu on, though. Maybe even use it over FC4...I really like it. I have a couple complaints more then I had w/ FC3 but overall I think it's better.

See Evangelante, waht did I tell you? Most of the time all you need to do is ask

Pretty much anything open source or unix bassed. I have never tried solaris but I think it's bassed on unix. I don't think windows is going to suffice for your needs, though.

There is a forum at the site. Sign up and you can view the answers I actually have a problem gettign registered. It doesn't like my name "1veedo."

Of course, you have to remember that you need decent speed depending on what you're doing. DSL is generally the least you can get by with. It's not so much downstream, though. Make sure you're getting at least 128 up. The best discro would depend on what you thought was the coolest or most efficient. As a generally rule, Linux is secure, so you don't have to worry about that. I would recommend disabling SELinux. Like I said above, though, my recent Ubuntu install seems to take a while to start sending data. FC3 was fast, and it makes sense because it's using red hat. Red hat itself is pay software, now. But you really dont need it. And if you did, there are free versions as well. Linux is open source; it's impossible to charge for it. There is already a distro that just recompiles red hat and calls it seomthing else. http://www.linux.org/ Search engien type thing http://distrocenter.linux.com/ << I recommend for deciding between distros http://www.linuxiso.org/ Another site offering a discription and download And remember, Linux isnt the only distro that will host. FreeBSD and other unix bassed systems will. Windows can as well. You can pay a bunch of money to get the very unsecure windows server. And you can get other apps like apache that are still unsecure on windows, share overhead, and preform poorly.

Well I do know that there is a program specifically for "lighting the LED" and a labtop I saw w/ Linux on did not have the support...it was just a guide to installing ubuntu on a labtop. Go to http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories and get the extra repositories. There is a bunch of internet applications and I notice many wireless ones. You'd find them very useful although it might take a while to brows all the apps. Sometiems it will, sometimes it wont. I would try searchign for Linux drivers for it. Linux sometiems uses modules instead of drivers so you can search for modules as well. But some need "something," in most casses. I would think wireless would normally work because it's the hardware that's talking to everything else. I've never used wireless w/ any Linux before, though.

I'm sure there are people here that would host you. I'm considering it, but my new ubuntu install seems to be slow. The desktop itself is wonderful...But the services for it aren't that great. My website used to load in less then a second (see http://1veedo.homelinux.com/time)...technically it still does, but it "waits for a reply" for a very long time. And I know it's not DynDNS because visiting my IP takes just as long, and even my *internal* IP takes the same amount of time to start sending data as the external address I think it's because ubuntu is parinoid for security. FC3 was just as secure, though. Well like I said, a lot of *nix users are very generous. Pretty much the only way to get that kind of hosting is by a) Hosting yourself b) Asking a friend who runs a server Hosting isn't really that expensive anyway. There are server seach engines you can use. Tell it what you want, ie 5gigs, and just compare the results. Before I ran Linux I used this site: http://www.findmyhosting.com/

The script above will use cookies; it actually has a cookie manager because they're not stored on the client's computer. I think it has a problem w/ shockwave, though. And proxies / firewalls will block the actual IP, not the URL* (if you were a good "hacker" you'd know this) The best way would be to memorize a proxy server (w/ good uptime and speed) and use that anytime you want to get around censorship. *Actually, there are some programs that block just the URL. This is the time when you install Firefox on a pen drive because it's actually IE and not an external censorship program that's blockign things. I was trying to make a scriopt for actual internet censorship, not add-on filters like your dad might use. Btw guys, I just went to ubuntu and for some reason my site is really slow. I think it might be because of my built in firewall (the one actually part of the kernel; I need to find a config file for iptables or something). I'll try to fix it as soon as I can.

Whoa You actually formatted it? I thought your files were just "corrupt"! Geeze, P2P isn't that safe on something like WIndows! And yes, most of your data is probably overwritten. Sry, dude. Another way to loose data after a format is if your internet browser uses the partiton. I'm affraid P2P (if you're downloading alot) is even worse then that... You might want to shut it down until you get as much data back as you can. There are programs that will retrieve from formated drives, and I guess you've found one. I feel sorry for you. That has to suck.

Even if you do change the filling system, the data is still there. I've never recovered data from a formated drive, but I suspect you can tell the software that the data it's looking for was originally on NTFS or whatever. The ONLY way to permanently erase data is to overwrite it. Things like deepdelete actually go over the drive complete and write over and over again to it. And even after that, profesional recovery companies (that charge thousands of dollars) can set there w/ a microscope and examine the different layers (assuming, of coruse, that it's the right kind of HD). albertlee, you obviously know that you did nor format the drive. The thread just got a little off track. Dave outlined soem things that may be getting in the way, but most likely it's just that windows (or the software reading your drive) is stupid. A lof of windows media players (like BSPlayer, and of course the default) will not load "corrupt" video although xine on Linux will. It'd actually be easier if we had more info. Is your drive browsable? If it is, then it's most likely an application trying to read the data. Chances are that the app is bad. Can you open any file at all? If so, then it again, points to jsut that specific file. Maybe it was meant to be played by an "outdated" version fo whatever you're trying to view it w/. M$ wants you to upgrade! If that's the case, you can open all your files in OpenOffice, Apiword, or whatever and even save it to the "new" file type. I'm assuming it's the entire drive, though. dave is correct in saying it's "rock solid," but when NTFS goes bad it doesn't take long for the entire drive to seem corrupt by windows. Normally when an NTFS goes, it's the entire drive and not just a chunk of bad sector (although those are a thing of the past too). I'm not entirely sure why Linux can read NTFS that Windows cant. It might be because Linux doesnt have restrictions on files placed on the upermost layer (where the database tables for NTFS and FAT are). Each Windows file system has a file allocation table which is equivalent to a superblock except w/o redundancy protection that keeps most filling systems running longer then NTFS (ext has multiple copies of the superblock and writes in a way to prevent fragmentation). On the top side, NTFS has encryption, compression, and security ACLs. If you want your data, just try downloading a couple of file-explorers. The default windows "my computer" might have an issue about something. I know from experience that "corupt" partitions can generally be read by Linux. Like I said, that's how a lot of data recovery "experts" get your files back. You can try Knoppix, Ubuntu-Live, or just about any other Live CD. However, a word of warning, Linux cannot write to NTFS; well, it can in certain parameters, but NTFS can be screwed up completely by writing to it...NTFS can use journalling but defaultly doesnt. (dont worry, it wont let you write to it anyway). My point is that if you have no ware to put your data (no FAT, ext, or filling systems set up that Linux supports), you'd only be able to read the data and not move it somewhere else to backup your data. Maybe if you can find an HD laying around...plug it in and let Linux format it as FAT. Just copy your files over to and bingo! Reboot and hopefully windows wont complain anymore. After you see that your files are back, do whatever you have to w. your external drive and move your fiels back.

It works in getting html and linking back to itself but everything else is much harder. I might take it up again when I (perhaps) know a little more about PHP. Right now I'm just hosting this thing I found called PHProxy. It uses that preg_replace mentioned...from what I can tell ti literaly takes the headers, data, puts them back together, and echos the results. Instead of my method of takign the data (and indeed not the headers) and scanign through the html for links, images, etc. The way PHProxy works even allows files to be transfered (from what I can tell at 568 bits a time?).

Ah! I knew it! Flash / as far as can tell, anything macromedia will not install on my 64 bit AMD. I found a tutorial a long time ago talking about Linux environments and how I could get something to *compile* on 64 bit that normally wouldn't, but flash just installs, not compiles. I'll look around google some, though. I'm sure there's a way.

SSI injections are much easier then SQL. I actually don't know any SQL but can generally figure a way to inject some code. If you look at my link above, it explains everything. The basic concept is that if PHP (w/o checkign the input for bullshit) sends the request to SQL. You'd get something like this: if (password == 'password') allow where password is sent to SQL. So just make the if if (sql('letmein'='letmein' or ') 'the actual password'){ it'll let you through, no questions asked } The real trick is guessing how the internal source is set up.

I guess you're not experienced w/ unix, but I know most of the time, live CDs are able to read data that looks corrupt to Windows. Most data recovery "experts" will do this if Windows wont boot..they just copy all the folders that looks like it has user-put files to a temporary location, reinstall Windows, and put them back. Everything works. (I actually did this for my teacher's laptop recently. Something went bad w/ the NTFS partition and required a full format. Booted knopix and look, there's hda1. Bingo!) Of course, this isn't your situation, but I'm sure you can find some applications that will 'recover' everything from that drive. You don't even need a liveCD; just something smarter then Windows to backup your data before you fix the HD. And then there's the worst case scenario...the HD itself is bad.

What's behind it all They're no fun if it's spoiled! Btw, web browsers wont matter much on it. You'd be just as well using Lynx (I think that's what it is) Quikc question: Do the levels actual get to "hacking?" The first two (I'm not past 2) are pretty fun but I'm not goign to all of them if they're like that.

You use code injection. PHP itself doesn't ahve any sort of exploit, but you can use SQL. Most sites usign SQL nowadays use PHP to check for bullshit, but your average amature web designer might have the exploit. This is a realyl good article: http://www.securiteam.com/securityreviews/5DP0N1P76E.html One of the levels at hackthissite.org simply required '='' or '... Obviously ''(nothing) == '' so the condition is passed. To search for a passwordfile you can try something like: Union All Select null, pass, from pass, try exporting it to a file, or just execute shit by putting something like: '; whatever. You need to play around w/ it because you dont know exactly what the script looks like from the inside. Normally changing to double quotes or adding some parentheses will fix any errors.

try gtk-gnutella. I like the clients that connect to multiple networks, myself. Shareaza is pretty good for that. On Linux there aren't very many apps that do the same thing shareaza does. Well, there are, but they're just damn hard to install. As for "avoiding legal action," try checkign out the anonominity thread...

There's this thing called TOR. I'm so pleased w/ it that I run it as a server. I could not, however, get it to work very wll over P2P. IP blockers only block certain ranges. If all you want to do is share peacefully, all you need is something like peerguardian. It works great w/ your iptables. Proxies in general aren't gret for file sharing but work jsut fine for most other things. A lot of proxies (mostly pay) will even cache popular files. I think TOR does something like that as well; I lowered it to a gig on my system. PS: You can always use somebody elses system. Windows users never seem to find out, unless you use their AOL account. But honestly, who wants to use somebody elses dial-up anyway?

I like my science calss. Nobody knwos anything, including the teacher. I pointed out one day that she was wrong (about the method in which the bang banged; inflation) and ever sense I've been her favorite student? I brought in some books to prove my cass It's really easy, and that's what I like about it. No sense in going to a harder science (this is honors) just to do more work. Not that I'm a slacker or anything

We should have a poll to see how old everybody is.

it predicts a lot of things that have been confirmed. Certain models pertaining to the nature of it are not "proven" but we're pretty certain the bang itself is real.

Measurment quantities are abstract as well Also, measurments are not absolute (common now, probability, uncertainty!). So therefore, everythign is abstract!

I think I joined last year, but this (10th) school year.

It depends on what model/theory and therefore ultimately, who you ask. One versions of quamtum cosmology treats time as another spacial dimention branching off at right angles (imaginary time) w/ a sortof probability axis on the other end. Certain string theory modles have no time. I think one is called "f theory." In one interpretation of quamtum theory, each instant in time is only a classical subcomponent of the total wavefunction of the universe. This would of course be directally connected to what we persieve as the past or what we would percieve as the future. So it's entirelly static. Ie, there is not one path "in time" to take, but it all sums out to the static wave function. It's not like there is some sort of a "cosmic cache" anywhere. The past, just like the future is undetermined. The exact same principles of many worlds can be equally be applied and arrived at "many histories". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_histories You cant jsut be all dogmatic and claim either one. It could exist as we percieve it, it could not. It could exist as described in some theories or it could not exist as described in other theories. Nobody really knows the true nature of time so dont buckle down w/ a party just yet.
