I am not attacking the grid.

Actually... under the original working of the USA PATRIOT Act, protesting a specific politician was considered an act of terrorism.

Again... none of the words here are intended to be offensive... but the federal government does classify hacking as a form of terrorism because it can be used to attack the nation's infrastructure.

What is important in life is that we maintain a level of honor just to our own standards... and of others cannot, we must understand that we are not them, nor they us. We do not all share the same experiences, and due to this, we do not all have the same perceptions of certain concepts or ideals. This in no way cheapens them, they are just different points of view.

Do not let another's words be a weapon against you... but rather another breeze passing by. If they happen to move you in a possitive or negative way... just remember... the breeze passes, and another will be along shortly.

LMAO Burnman...


He said on global annoucement that there had been an attack on the grid by [named name].

Anyhooooo.. GRID I S OPEN!!!!! EVERYONE BACK IN THE POOL!!!!!

A Denial of Service attack is classified as hacking.

Ah`s glad y`all likes it, but Ah haint decided yet where Ah`s from. Ah cain`t get in-world `till aftah Tuesday week aftah next; `till then, Ah haint been "born" yet. See y`all in a week an` a half?

Toodle-oo!

Don't even get me going on the PATRIOT Act, lol. I do understand and appreciate what you are saying.

tends to coincide when the kiddies get out for spring break, summer break, winter break...
such great poetry adohan writes too. He was reciting some to me (in his new account) as the grid was going down. the more attention we give them (neglected children crave attention more than sugar) the more they will come back for more.

Yes, let's do this and how about also something like dealing with the self replicating prim issue once and for all by limiting how many times a self replicating prim can self replicate within a given sim and timeframe? what's the use of leaving it open? mo you are so smart!

I'm guessing someone gave him the item and he went "durrr what's this?" and rezzed it, not knowing it was a Trojan.

This is why I never rez shit people give me out of the blue.

MAC addresses are at the data link layer. Routers only forward TCP/IP, and TCP/IP doesn't include MAC addresses. (MAC addresses are part of the Ethernet protocol, and TCP/IP is encapsulated within Ethernet frames, not the other way around.) The only way to get a MAC address is to be on the same physical network as the device whose MAC address you want, or to ask SL to send it in. And [on second thought I'm not going to post this particular information. -h.], so even that is not a guaranteed control.

In case anyone wants to know more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_Resolution_Protocol

*evil laugh* That was just phase one, wait until you see my self-replicating skate vendors of doom *evil laugh*

oh, and something about frikkin' lazerbeams as well.

That's true, I hadn't thought of that. Still, it's a thought, at least. With the IP Address, LL can trace back their ISP, talk to them, and find out the MAC Address from them. Whether they'll be willing to give it or not is another matter, considering most ISPs won't even do the government's bidding....

...Not that I want them to, mind you.

You need a subpoena to get anything out of an ISP, unless they run a really loose ship.

Well, all is not lost. At least you're still a year older!

So if I'm reading this right, what you're saying is, Walmart is a warm safe place, right?

umm... What part of "not" did you -not- understand?

But I loooooove Walmart!!!!

Only cuz at 2 AM when I feel like my life sucks, I can go there see the people who shop/work there on a daily basis and I suddenly feel SO much better!!!

I think it's about time to bring back the generation limiter. And noone cares about your self-building fractal trees or whatever else recursive crap you made. Because that's why it's disabled. Put the recursion and spawning in a root object and be done with it!

Another year closer to death, too.

Just because some politicians want to call something terrorism doesn't make it terrorism.

Just because the feds call it a form of terrorism doesn't make it terrorism.

Yes, it does cheapen them. When you have everybody who wants to scare or score a rhetorical point use the word "terrorism" to apply to something that is merely a pain in the ass then that does dilute the meaning of the word when applied to people who have suffered real losses.

Words do matter, they shape our concepts, our expectations, our opinions. The point is when you equate a pain in the ass with people dying, you can't expect them not to be offended because it is offensive. And when you say, "it's just a breeze," or "it's just a differing opinion" that's more offensive.

um...actually SL can and does know our MAC addresses - thats how they think they know if you have more than your five avie limit and take action.

it used to be these attacks came the day before a new version was supposed to be released (when LL staff is focused elsewhere), then they added holidays (low staffing times) and recently they added friday nights to their repertoire. (as anyone who's had to deal with LL knows - LL staff proudly announce theyre outta there at close of business - god forbid your call goes past that time!)

now understand - i cant script myself out of a paper bag so my thoughts on that part are perhaps mistaken, but since we can safely rule out a Linden created this little beastie...the script must have been swapped. without some kind of chain of ownership documented inside a script wont it still say Linden on that as well? and since any of us could be duped into opening an object (anyone remember "red wings?" its hard to crucify the one that might just have only won the lottery on getting labeled as the grid attacker.

just a thought.

Oh please! We all know people who die. It is the cycle of life. Don't be so melodramatic.

Terrorism doesn't have to involve killing. I could terrorize you without actually killing you. As a matter of fact, it is much easier to terrorize you while you are alive as the dead seem strangely unresponsive.

However, you have your opinion and if there is one thing I have learned, it is that you cannot deny people their pain.

I think the determine that by your address. That is why gift credit cards will get around this limit.

Difficult? Sure it's a bit more tricky in windows, but nothing more than some simple registry editing really.

I would like for one of you kind souls to check out some of his other posts from say around october..... and see what comes up.

OMG Starax your excellent!
Nice to find some humor in something that at the time was so devasting to some of us that was attacked by the killer HERPES balls.
Keep up the good work you doing for Second Life Residents; Starax your a fine fellow in my book, and wow what humerous one indeed!
