Comment Re:AdBlock = inferior + 'souled-out' vs. hosts (Score 1) 442

There are those of us who don't mind an occasional ad. AB+ and its Acceptable Ads program is a workable compromise. And a program using ~140 MB while your browser is running isn't exactly a major concern in this age of multi-GB RAM builds. Most PCs come with 8 GB of RAM so the 140 MB for AB+ is a drop in the bucket. If you're dead-set against all ads, AB+ will block all ads for you. I use AB+ because it sends a message that responsible ads are fine. If I wanted to remove all ads, I could just as easily null-route all the known ad networks at the firewall and never see an ad again.

Comment Re:Don't ever sign a contract with "arbitration" (Score 1) 104

I've done it with many jobs, most contracts require a witnessed signature to be legitimate. A good example of this would be the NDA/Assignment of Rights that many devs are required to sign. I've had clauses struck from those that result in a zero net change situation on my flexibility to leave a position if I need to.

Comment Re:What happened to personal choice? (Score 1) 104

You miss the blindingly obvious answer. Strike the clause from the contract and submit. Funny thing about contract law, if you physically sign the contract you get to strike objectionable sections of the contract. Most employers, regardless of how often they're told to read everything, will just check to see if you signed it and then sign it themselves. We, as the prospective employee/contractor, have the ultimate power to force a change in how things get done. If you push back, most companies will cave regarding nearly anything if you have the right combination of skills and experience. Don't be afraid to negotiate your pay, a contract, even your benefits are all up for discussion and upgrade if you present the right case for it.

Something to consider: If everyone started to push back on the arbitration clause, and getting it struck from the contract, this wouldn't be an issue anymore. We all keep forgetting that we hold the ultimate authority over if that contract gets signed, *NOT* the employer. If the clause offends you, strike it from the signed copy and submit it. If they push back, remind them that you don't sign contracts with those clauses per policy. And be sure to have a written copy of said policy to hand over upon request.

Comment Re:mod parent up (Score 2, Interesting) 464

I would have to agree with that one.

I have done this sort of thing before, and have had the same results. Something that most people seem to miss is that, while we all prefer Linux, it is a resource hog.

Mandrake and a few others are now taking up more the 200 MB of physical RAM. Windows and it's GUI only use about 60 MB. There is a major difference in the usage here as well. Older computers can benefit from Windows, or it could benefit from Linux.

It all depends on the distro used.

My $0.02 worth. For what it's worth.

Just to show that I can use curl as well as wget: of course, now you can have fun writing it in perl for a change :-)

#!/bin/bash

User Journal

Journal Journal: Okay friends, here's some more 5

And this time NO TYPOS (I hope).

#!/usr/bin/perl

# sample url http://www.hardloveart.com/34/inf8.0015.jpg
for ($i = 1; $i <=8; $i++) {
for ($j = 1; $j <= 15; $j++) {
if ($j < 10) {
$cmd = "wget www.hardloveart.com/34/inf$i/000$j.jpg -w4";
} else {
$cmd = "wget www.hardloveart.com/34/inf$i/00$j.jpg -w4";
}
`$cmd`;
}

About 7 megs of pix, 120 images.

Corrected Script - transposed an el and a one" (thanks to Nucleardog for pointing out I made a fuckup). Corrected script below :-)

Sorry for the hiatus (holidays, stupid dog that eats EVERYTHING, work, etc., but I'm back, and here we go with another simple script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$site="www.met-art.com";
$dir= "g1";
$file="met-art_fl_00";
$ext=".jpg -w 4";

Anime

Journal Journal: Anime Pr0n?! and a (bigotted racist) new foe ... 22

Well, I guess it had to happen - Anime porn.

And thanks and welcome to the 25 people who friended Porn Whitelist today :-) (guess I'll have to come up with something special for the 100th sooner than I would have thought ... darn)

So, here's a script to download more pix.

Upgrades

Journal Journal: Close enough - heres 11,000 pix 4

Posted under "Upgrades", so you can (ahem) upgrade your collection.

Yesterday I wrote that if we got this journal up to 50 people friending it, I'd post a script that get a decent chunk of pr0n.

Well, 47 friends/fans is close enough among friends so:

#!/usr/bin/perl

for ($i=105;$i<=859;$i++) {
`wget -r www.pornodonkey.com/$i/1176.html`
}

User Journal

Journal Journal: Some curl 3

As promised, I've found something fairly large (several hundred meg - thousands of pix, both thumbnails and full-sized) for when we've got 50 people who have friended this blog. In the meantime, here's some quickie curl commands to get 5 meg of porn (or you can convert it to wget as an exercise for the reader).

curl http://www.nikkygalore.com/w200412/d10-2/pics/pp[01-20].jpg -o "nikkygalore.com.#1.jpg"

X

Journal Journal: 47 meg of ... um ... something. 1

I'm not going to comment on what this is - it's not up to me to judge. That's why it's filed under "X".

Here's the perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

for ($i=1; $i <=48; $i++) {
for ($j=1; $j <=16; $j++) {
$url = "www.fetishhub.net/mip/gal";
if($i<10) {$url = $url . '0'; }
$url = $url . $i . '/big_';
if ($j<10) {$url = $url . '0'; }
$url = $url . $j . '.jpg';
`wget -r $url`;
}
}

Perl

Journal Journal: Some PERL for pr0n 5

Here's something different - a perl script ...

#!/usr/bin/perl

for ($i=1; $i<27;$i++) {
for ($j=1; $j<17; $j++) {
`wget -r www.sweetamateurbabes.com/teen/$i/$j.jpg`
}
}

For those of you new to perl, those are backquotes around the wget command - they tell the shell to interpet the command string, after doing variable substitution :-)
