12/19 http://suprnova.org is down again, I guess the corporations are winning... \_ This time you're actually right. It has (apparently) gone down permenently. permanently. \_ what's the best replacement out there atm? \_ I don't know, but http://lokitorrent.com seems pretty good, 1.5 million active peers according to the site. Registration req'd. active peers according to the site. (free) registration req'd. \_ I've never liked bittorrent, it always stalls on me. I also find it difficult to find anything with it. The only thing I found it good was was dling some anime. \_ This makes you ... a loser. good was dling some anime. \_ BT is the suck for illegal content, as it's always going to rely on the tracker being available. For legit downloads, like OS .isos and such, it rocks. -John \_ I use it exclusively for TV shows I've missed. It seems to do the trick. \_ where do you find sources? \_ Up until last week, http://suprnova.org \_ "Google"? -John \_ It's great for "popular" illegal content. I see tons of stuff out there, almost all recent stuff appears on there and will be fast for a time. Within those parameters it's the best. It does rely on having popular listing sites like suprnova. \_ so are there any good suprnova replacement sites? \_ I suspect they simply paid the site owners off. \_ Check the http://slashdot.org thread about it. Several other sites are mentioned as alternatives. \_ If you know good ones can you name a couple? I hate slashdot threads. \_ empornium.us. 3 guesses what kind of torrents *they* host. |

E-mail the author of the clients you use to add the 'get_peers/peers' ext ension to their clients. This removes the need for trackers beyond a sin gle connection. XBT Client + BitComet are the only clients that support this so far. New Christmas Category (by lowkee) Tis the season to plop your butt on the couch and watch yourself a few of your favorite holiday movies and listen to some joyous tunes. Enjoy, and let's see if we can't fill this section to the brim! Well, after figuring out our blonde moment, we have fixed it! Thanks for your patience, and please reupload any files that did not succ essfully upload in the past few days, as we had to remove them. Note: th e existing torrents have not moved, only new torrents will be listed her e We have also instituted a 'warning' system in our forums, instead of flat out banning abusers. We're hoping this is a good step in making LokiTor rent forums a kinder, gentler forum for all who use it, as we don't want to have to ban someone for making 1 mistake. I have also added subcategory selections to the torrent editing feature, so they no longer get clumped into the 'all' subcategory if you wish to edit your torrents. All RSS and Klipfolio news feeds can be obtained by loo king in the right-hand column of the site pages. Sorry it took so long to fix this, as I have been quite busy with a numbe r of site changes. We have now fixed this issue and ALL LokiTorrent member now have a login in our forums using the same credentials as here (assuming you haven't c hanged your password since you joined here). This user sync only happens once, and never happens again. Our apologies to those who have been waiting for this fix, as we have bee n a busy crew the last few weeks. Please note, even though your login is the same when you sign up, this do es NOT mean that changes to one account or the other will continue to st ay the same on both sites, as they are all completely separate. We simpl y initially copy the account info over to make sure people do not steal your login on the forums before you get a chance to sign up. This also m akes our jobs easier tracking down offending users. Stay posted and we'll let you know when we get this fully worked out. All people involve d with these attacks will soon be hearing a knock on their doors, as the authorities are contacted for each occurance and logs are saved. Let this be warning to all future 13 year olds out there. Rest assured, unless it's a major issue, you will not risk banning from this site from now on. My apologies for any issues in the recent past on this matter. This is not a fly-by-night affair, as they have been a 24/7 live DJ stati on for months now. If you've been watching your torrents trickle in or s imply need some jammin' music playing while you clean your house, this p lace will be your only stop. All music on Radio Fusion is live, so you won't have to listen to someone 's Gloria Gainer collection on random, as everything played is hand-pick ed. Welcome them into the Loki Torrent family and spread the word! |
| slashdot.org -> slashdot.org/ Will this signal new life for the console, or is it too little, too late? We linked to leaked pictures of the N-Gage follow-up late last week on Slashdot Games , and theres further information at GameSpot , which mentions: When bundled with a service contract, the QD is expected to sell for $99. Without subsidy from a service provider, the phone will go for $199 with the platforms Tony Hawk title bundled in at that price.

Shippy writes Ten years ago today, a pair of Arizona attorneys launched a homemade marketing software program that forever changed the Internet. They did this by whipping up a Perl script that flooded message boards advertising their legal services. Update: 04/14 05:26 GMT by S : Thatd be ten years ago, not twenty. JigSaw writes Well known Lycoris person Jason Spisak left the company to join Element Computer , a new hardware company which now strives to offer the Apple experience on PCs: they sell Linux-certified modern hardware with their own flavor of Debian, ION Linux. ION is a desktop distro and it is developed specifically to work perfectly with the accompanied hardware. Other highlights include usage support as opposed to installation-only support other distros provide and system upgrades specific to the exact hardware the user runs. The KDE-based distro will only sell with their hardware as Mike Hjorleifsson says in his interview . Free Software Foundation writes Stanford Professor Lawrence Lessig was elected to the Free Software Foundations Board of Directors on March 28, 2004. With Eben Moglen, the two most prominent academic legal minds on the subject of copyleft licensing now both serve as Directors of the Foundation. Professor Lessigs involvement will undoubtedly give a major boost to the FSFs ongoing efforts to neutralize legal threats to software freedom. The flaws could allow attackers to break into PCs running Windows in several ways and then use the system to run malicious programs and steal or delete key data. These latest security flaws affect the latest versions of Windows, including Windows NT 40, Windows 98, Windows 2000 , Windows XP, as well as software for networked computers such as Windows NT Server and Windows Server 2003. Despite the growing success of the Open Source movement, most of the general public continues to feel that Open Source software is inaccessible to them. This paper discusses five fundamental problems with the current Open Source software development trend, explores why these issues are holding the movement back, and offers solutions that might help overcome these problems. What do you think of the issues given in this paper, and how do you think the Open Source community should address these issues?
