I'm AEQ, also known as MetaheuristicPimpshit and I'm involved in a game from a WinMX chatroom known by the name of Apostasy. We're playing a version of Survivor that includes members from different continents competing with eachother in 4 teams by completing challenges and answering questions. If a team scores highest on the immunity challenges, they are granted immunity and do not need to vote off a member of their team. At some point, the people who survive longest from each team will compete with eachother and only one will survive. The game is intriguing in that it requires some level of political acumen and ability to respond to the immunity challenges. My problem with the game is that, at some point, it boils down to a popularity contest. I have faith that the game's host, Knot, will enact mechanisms to counteract the effect of popularity and teams with the highest concentration of good, participating members to make for proper, fun and fair game play. I'm anxious to know the outcome of the game because it is intriguing to know who voted for whom to be eliminated, what each players responses were to the immunity challenges and what kind of internal strife and conflict each team and member experienced during game play.

Re: Is Ubuntu Shelf PC Ready? – It Needs to be Ready

This is very true. IPTables can be a huge hassle. While application front-ends such as Firestarter exist, I'm sure one could work around the raw formats. As I've seen it happen before.

I do agree with you though, making a system foolproof, but making it "secure" in the same sense is a mission in-itself.

I don't doubt it that things need to stick to the drawing board.

Trouble is, your average Walmart computer customer knows so little about online security. Sure, there are nice scripts to tweak your IPTables for you, IF you know what you are doing..If they pay the same heed to their automotive security as they do their computer security it's no wonder accidents and car thefts abound, and the more "foolproof" you make a system, the bigger the fools you get coming to a sticky end... just my 2cents worth.

Yes. I did experience eye-sore here and there.

That was one of the downsides.

Nobody could play this game very long because it killed their eyes.

I was a keen user of the Fractint fractal graphics package many years ago. In 1992 it supported 3d fractal graphics in both red/green colour separation and stereoscopic ( a la Magic Eye) flavours. It didn't take the chaos mathematics field by storm with this innovation, but it WAS pretty cool, nonetheless :)

@karma,

Thank you. I have linked to your article in the post for people wanting more detailed information/using squid with it. :)

Hola!

Thanks for this article, it came in handy while I was writing http://foxpa.ws/2011/01/22/... My article differs from yours in that Privoxy is installed by RPM and Squid is brought into the mix while tsocks is used to protect transparently intercepted DNS traffic. There’s a virtual machine provided at the bottom of the article to help folks get running in minutes.

Cheers!

@chuck

That is why I think this whole real-time-interactive-type deal is a big leap.

The design is already there, as I said in "Google Docs," and "Etherpad." As Etherpad =/= Google Wave. But as far as real-time transitional web pages. ... don't know.

I'd love for people's browsers to use all capabilities. Caching to the fullest, etc.

I would love to begin a prototype/concept for this.

From my point of view the web has never "been ready" for any new concept or function...it has always been a catch up game with the most flexible and alert developers coming up with something that makes you go "facepalm" D=OH!

I've been doing some reading on this as I am currently working on a project for some website functionality.(Totally new concepts for me lol!)I can see where your postulation(hypotheses?)are the logical progression from where web page design and user interaction currently stand
