I gave it as an example and i was talking about _illegal_ mp3s,
those that are copyrighted, since MP3 is just a format and there's
nothing illegal in that.
I figured that it would be obvious, but appearently not for everyone.

Nice of you sticking to an unimportant part that i brought as an

Too bad that you did not answer to the real issue and just got into
nitpicking about things where my intentions were pretty clear.
I'd recommend you to stay away from threads that contain info

And something i forgot, If you owned a company and knew that if
someone reported certain authorities about illegal material
stored on the company's computers, you'd be sued?
and you also realize that most of the .mp3 files are songs 
that are probably copyrighted (99% on my own home computer), 
what would you do when you have millions of dollars on the stake?
I'll leave that for you to answer.
Thou i'll add that I don't see deleting mp3s effective because
if you do that, why not delete zip, rar, arj, and tar files?
they might contain pirated software, or executables, they might
be part of copyrighted software.
But then again, this is _way_ off topic..

Exactly, and that's why we need to be careful about the way we speak.
Besides, what's illegal MP3? The file is legal, though perhaps copying
it was illegal. So why not just call them "Shared in ways which 
are illegal because of our screwed up copyright system which now
gives companies enormous powers over individuals"?

Many of us do not think that the issue of copying MP3s is unimportant --
some of us think it's a case study in how copyright law went well beyond
what it was meant to do originally.

The same copyright system that disallows you to copy ripped MP3s
disallows companies to make proprietary products out of GPLed
software. Our copyright system is just fine.

I get the impression that some people don't want to pay for music they
listen to, so they start bashing the copyright law which makes that
illegal. I'm all for Napster and I'm myself a heavy user of it. I'm
using it to download music, and then buy it if I like it and throw it
away if I don't. That's still illegal, but it has nothing to do with
the copyright law -- it has a lot to do with the fact that RIAA hasn't
yet properly embraced the Internet as an advertising medium. So leave
the copyright law alone. You can bash RIAA if you have to. ;-)

Two solutions:
1. Go ahead and alias cd, pushd, and popd. It's not that difficult, especially
   if you use a common shell function between them to do the actual title-
   changing. Does this cover all the methods of changing the current directory

2. Dump tcsh, and use zsh ;) Zsh's function "chpwd" that I described in a
   previous posting is "Executed whenever the current working directory is
   changed"", regardless of which command (cd, chdir, pushd, popd, or even
   AUTO_CD) was used to do it.

I guess I have some sensitivites dating from the days of 300 baud modems ;)
A typical title for me would be around 30 characters, or a full second of

Yes, it works under screen. Try adding the following to your .screenrc:

# special xterm hardstatus: use the window title.
termcapinfo xterm hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007

It works very nicely, with titles changing when you switch windows and

RE: spoofing DNS..

2000-12-27 Thread Manor G.

Those long hostnames you see on the IRC are actually simple vhosts
(virtual hosts) that people make, specially for use on the irc, 
with bnc, u can choose to use a vhost for the machine
you are running the bnc from.
these are just addional ip's that point to the same machine.

if you really think having a cool long hostname is cool and you got the money
to spend, you can buy a shell from alot of shell-providers, that also offer lots
of "cool" long vhosts, and then run a bouncer there.

To Orange, there's no way.
Few months ago, I was running an email-to-SMS forwarding service,
which exploited Pelephone's, Cellcom's and Orange-Walla's sites,
but it's not active any longer, after Cellcom and Orange-Walla
blocked my IP (lots of Orange users where using it to send messages
to subscribers in other networks, by sending their messages through
SMS-to-email gateways).

As to the SMS-to-email gateways, try those:
+447973577510 (http://aa.nu/faxtext)
+358405174761 (http://www.oeoe.fi)
+447747782320 (http://www.connectotel.com/sms/mmail.html)

Syntax for all of them is "EMAIL@DOMAIN message", IIRC.
International SMSes cost the same as national ones in Orange
(currently 9ag.+VAT).

Why is this exploitation? When I bought my cellcom phone, about 18 months
ago, I did it with the promise that Celcom will soon have a free SMS-sending
site. And they kept their promise. Making personal use of that site (and
sending an email to a gateway in the express purpose that the gateway uses
the site for you counts as personal use) is fair, in my opinion.

Anyway, if they block your IP, why don't you try doing this from another IP?
If you can't get another IP, you can try using your ISP's proxy server (if
it has one). If Orange or Cellcom block access to their sites to entire
ISPs' proxy servers, they'll cut the branch they're sitting on.

This is interesting news :) (P.S. I was under the impression that Orange
doubled their SMS prices a few months ago...)

Anybody knows if gosms.com still exist? They used to have a SMS-to-Email

After some rumours went around, the forwarder's popularity grew and
it spread around thousands of Orange users, mostly teenagers. The last
count results in about 10,000 unique users who used it to forward
messages to Cellcom subscribers. The service was passing on around
3000-4000 SMSes a day.

For this, about 250 acounts were automatically created on iSend :)
Although this doesn't violate their terms of agreement, somebody
probably didn't like it and shut it down (403 from our IP + a stupid
legal suit treat e-mail). The forwarder stayed active for Orange -
to - Pelephone forwarders, until OrangeWalla also cried out.
Then I decided to shut it down.

I have 4 C-classes in disposal for this server, and I can use anonymous
proxies as well - but I can understand when I'm not wanted.

In my last Orange bill, I calculated the price per SMS, summing
national and international SMSes and it was exactly 9ag per SMS.

Cellcom did raise their prices though.

GoSMS is dead AFAIK, also as a result of Partner being annoying

  Can this be related to some kind of transparent proxy that your provider
is using (I know some of them do) ? It seems as if some file transfer
crashes in the middle and then you keep getting it from the cache again.

  Try to switch provider.

  Access a site which you have access to its logs and see if the source is
from some ISP's proxy.

  I would be surprised if this has anything to do with ADSL at all.

  Yes, I missed your letter saying that you tried with other providers.

Are you sure you have everything installed including all the relevant

What header file is that exactly?

try looking for it in rpmfind (http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html ) or in
google/linux (http://www.google.com/linux ), this will show you in which
package that file resides.

If that still doesn't work, you'll have to give us some useful data, such
as the name of the app you try to install (from where?) and a more
detailed error message.

There is a way!

I wrote such a script once. Although MTNSMS doesn't openly announce
a daily limit, they have one, and a rather small one.

Again, 20 messages a day. Exploit OrangeWalla, much more fun (until
they catch you). Or figure out how to use 'telnet 192.118.10.40 443'.

Usually they have delay of around 3 minutes, and require subscribtion.

  I've been told by Orange that they are trying to have some out of band
SMS sending (modem, TAP etc). If they go with TAP, you will be able to do
that using qpage (www.qpage.org). Pro: goes OOB (which means that 'the
network is down' message gets to you at the time and not afterwards). Con:
you have to pay for the phone calls.

Objection! Speculative ;)

My script wasn't to "exploit" Orange: like *all* cellphone providers in
Israel (and probably most providers around the world), Orange provide a
way to send SMS messages to their customers from the Internet. This is
interface between the Internet and the Real World is very important, and as
I said in a previous posting, I didn't get a Cellcom phone until I was
promised that they will soon have one (and indeed they added their site
about a month later). The fact that this gateway is free is nice, but not
the most important thing (i.e., if it had cost 10 agorot per message, it
would add 15 shekels to my monthly bill - I wouldn't go bankrupt), but because
on the Internet you don't have an easy way of charging 10 agorot. Instead,
they charge the users for the privilige of receiving SMS messages (cellcom
no longer does, but I paid 10 shekles a month for that privilige for about
a year).

Anyway, using my script for personal use (sending stuff to your own phone
number, sending a reasonable amount of messages to friends, etc. - all assuming
that you register to their online service and agree to its terms) is surely
"fair use". The "fairness" of automatically registering 500 fake users on
their site and letting 10,000 people share them is a little more questionable,
because you deprive them of the _accountability_ they wanted (if somebody,
say, spams SMSs, they want to have a lead on who did it, and block him;
Actually, they may have blocked you for this exact reason!). But as you know,
my script requires you to register on your own, and to provide it with the
username/password registered on Orange/Cellcom's sites.
